Entrees were edible, but had no taste, the net were passable, but the money is not worth it. If this would be a local restaurant and 1/3 the price, it is fine. Only good for tourists, not for gourmets.

Butternut pumpkin and Italian sausage Risotto were bought by two members of my dining party, and it was tasteless, as he simply cooked rice with a sausage and pumpkin without taste. My husband had the spaghetti and so-called Hand-Cut Veal Ragu just a nice name for a very ordinary spaghetti bolognese. Awakens our disappointment about the quality of the meal to the waiter, and then the manager was not careduced with a very rude and eggotary attitude. I do not recommend anyone who eats on this so-called restaurant.

With beautiful views of Sydney harbour, the bridge & Opera house, it is a relaxing atmosphere. Service was friendly but a little slow at times but understandable given it was a group which can be hard to coordinate. The platter with a bit of everything was a great way to start & perfect with a drink in hand. It had cold cuts, olives, arancini, meatballs & my favourites on the board being the crispy salt & pepper prawns & calamari. We all ordered our own mains & my steak was cooked as requested & flavoursome with a nice char but was a little tough. Feedback on the fish was positive & also the pasta looked generous & apparently delicious. The chips were fat & crunchy & delicious. Desserts consisted of sticky date pudding which was nice & rich, pannacotta which is nice but a bit too sweet for my liking and the chocolate & salted caramel tart which was delicious. Overall a very enjoyable way to farewell a friend over good food, drinks & views.

Yes, great location but without the service and food it sours that too. Wish it was better, we had really looked forward to dining there.

Our fears were put to rest when Sydney decided to apologize for it's dreadful show the day before a gloriously mild and clear afternoon heralded still skies that morphed into a dusky kaleidoscope of muted pinks, mauve and cobalt blues. The Italian Village is at the end of a waterfront walk and sits among other similar eateries right across the ditch from the Sydney Opera House. On this occasion, those famous white sails were obliterated momentarily by a monster of a cruise liner. The full vista was gifted to us once the, er boat set sail, but not without an enormous ship's horn that threatened to blow our eardrums after the first 30 seconds. Back to the venue, as described by many previous guests, the food can be hit and miss. There were very few tables, as this was a corporate event and they want you to mingle. My one lament was wearing high heels. There is a grassed area in front where we stood and my poor feet sank quickly in the soft ground. A few waiters appeared rather sporadically, bearing small trays of mediocre fare but nothing that made one feel like they were somewhere truly special. Which is a shame, because you ARE somewhere exceptionally special. Bang smack on the Sydney Harbor foreshore. The Sydney Harbor Bridge is on your left, the Opera House is right in front of you and the magnificent Sydney skyline takes up the rest of your peripheral vision. It would do well for the proprietors to capitalize on this fact by revisiting their menu and the decorum of their staff, who weren't rude. They just weren't well, anything. 3/5
