No Name Italian Restaurant - Sydney

I have been visiting No Names for lunch and dinner for the past 45 years since my brother first took me there as a 14 year old and in those days it was even more rustic and dingy than today, you could even bring your own pots for take-away. I took my future wife there very early on in our relationship and we have now been together for 39 years and in all that time we have never had a bad meal, spaghetti for starters then veal scolapene or schnitzel plus all the bread and cordial you could handle and if you were there early enough, little cartons of milk . Our daughter now goes regularly for lunch, she works around the corner.

Loved the food and the location! Outdoor seating as well as a/c indoors. I will return to sample more extensive menu choices

I used to go here about 30 years ago as a child with my parents. I went here yesterday with my wife and daughter. My wife was unsettled by the alleyway and immediate toilet on entrance. upstairs at the restaurant was exactly the same as 30 years ago - like i mean nothing changed and all looked pretty tired and grim. the pasta bolognaise was nice and plenty for a serve of $10. free bread and water/cordial refills. all the staff looked chinese bar one old gentleman in an apron so i thought that was weird. the pasta and sauce kept to the same recipe as i recalled 30 years ago so that was good. i didnt mind it for a quick bite to eat but for some reason my wife didnt like it. dont take someone there for a first date i dont think. cheap and tasty but dingy place. check it out and make your own mind up : )

If you want a good value quick Italian meal and don't care about the decor then give it a go. I frequented this place some 30 years ago and the meals are still huge, cheap and tasty. I took a stroll down memory lane today whilst in Sydney for a few days with my teenager kids and was delighted to find this little place still open. We all ordered the mini chicken combo (spaghetti with a chicken schnitzel) $17 and didn't come close to finishing but no problem, for 50 cents extra you can pop it into a takeaway container for later. Crusty bread and salad arrives as soon as you're seated. It's a run down little place but still serving good food. Not sure if it's BYO

Entrance off tiny alley with staircase up to 2nd floor. Looks pretty sketchy. Upstairs is as if you walked into someone's living room. Not having changed in over a decade may not be a good thing. With very, very little work to service and such could make it cozier. Instead it is $10 for spaghetti. Can't beat the deal. If you order schnitzel you just get schnitzel. Order the combo if you want spaghetti and schnitzel. Cordial sounds a tad eloquent for the vinegar bottle of tinged water on your table. When they say quick - no kidding the spaghetti is on your table as quick as the waiter can walk to and from the counter. No euphemisms. This place is very basic hole in the wall with very limited menu. Kids may not know the difference but adults surely will. Our bill for 2 kids 2 adults was $50. Do not expect anything over and above a table with utensils and food.
