Fratelli Paradiso in Potts Point

Very disappointing, I ve been here on a number of occasions over the years. No opportunity to move to a table outside when we were pretty much the 1st to arrive. Marooned on an awkward table inside the darkest part of the restaurant even after a request to move. The specials had run out by 7 pm and the steak that I was served was very disappointing. Underpar and overdone. The only possible silver lining was the bombe Alaska which was phenomenal.

Love it. Its busy and they wont hang your coat up but the food is authentic and service is honest and welcoming. Had the best maiale there in my life.

FP Never fails to deliver! Love it. Thank you

We only had Tiramisu from there and it is a good one.

A place so nice, we went there twice! Authentic Italian menu Not a wide variety, but sincere and real food offerings. Excellent wine pairings available. Our favourites were in the pasta and salad areas, and lets not overlook la dolci!

Great food. Courteous and pleasant staff. Optimal.

Delicious

Outrageously expensive for what it offers. The chef special orecchiette of the day were flavorless, the condiment was excessive, the lack of inventive was covered up by tons of chili and there were hardly 10 pieces of pasta. by the way, half of them were stuck together. As an Italian, that cannot cook, I can assure I can make a better pasta dish blindfolded at home . I spent $70 for this sad dish, four slices of bread and the small pale ale. It makes me wonder if the chefs are Italian at all, or if it s just a tourist trap. In that case, I will suggest to customers to go directly to Italy, where it is indeed full of tourist traps, but at least you eat decently .

Casual elegance in Potts Point - Frattelli Paradiso is a Potts Point stalwart. The grilled scampi spaghetti was outstanding - pricing is on the higher side, but worth it if you re looking for somewhere special.

Best rustic Italian food, menus written in Italian and waiter staff are particularly charming.

Quality service

Title: Disappointing Customer Service Experience Review: I had booked this restaurant for a special occasion, but unfortunately, I came down with the flu that s been going around and felt awful. I promptly called to cancel, apologizing for any inconvenience caused. The reception team assured me they would waive the booking fee. However, to my surprise, I discovered a $220 charge on my account. Despite multiple attempts to reach out via phone calls and emails, I never received any response. This lack of communication and the unexpected charge left me extremely disappointed with the customer service. Whats more frustrating is that I was supposed to be contacted by Rebecca, but I never heard from her. Should I have risked coming in and potentially spreading the flu to the staff and other patrons? Overall, this experience has been incredibly frustrating and disappointing. I hope the restaurant improves its customer service and communication in the future to avoid such situations.

The food was great, our experience was ruined by an over enthusiastic waiter, who, when asked by my daughter (whom had been previously and had ordered a particular dish) as she is gluten & dairy intolerant, what other dishes she could have, he told her no she could not have that dish, and would not entertain the fact she had had it their before? He was most unhelpful, very atrong willed, and kept trying to push the Prosecco onto us when we ordered drinks. A good experience but for this waiter

I had 1kg rib eye steak excellent, my kids had the scampi spaghetti not so good. There was a large birthday party who was very noisy and doing lots of trips to the toilets together. Food

We were delighted to discover that the recommendation of our hotel (The Macleay Hotel) was so true. This restaurant had the most delicious Italian food outside of Italy that we have had. We loved our lunch and so returned for our last meal in Sydney. The Reginette with lamb ragout was outstanding! The leaf salad and greens were delicious. The service by the wait staff was top notch. We wish this place was in Melbourne where we live. Oh, don t forget the Tiramiso! Extraordinarily delicious. Great wine choices. Outside and inside seating. We ate outside to feel the street ambience and loved it. Thank you for two wonderful meals!

Outstanding! Service was super attentive and efficient, we were on a time restraint and we even got tiramisu and coffee in. The food was delicious, I would go back just for the scampi linguine.

Unbelievable, authentic Italian. Incredible service and gorgeous vibe, yum!!!!

Great Restaurant

We went out for a nice lunch at this restaurant today. The staff were lovely and very attentive. My lasagne was very good. My son had the $45 Ravioli which came out on a dinner plate. The meal was cream in colour, looked more like porridge on the plate with no garnish or anything to make it look even remotely appetising. Unfortunately it was quite bland in flavour as well. For $45 one would expect something a little bit special and sadly this meal fell well short. Vegetarian options: Sadly the vegetarian risotto was sadly lacking both in flavour and presentation.

Whilst it maybe not the lowest price restaurant , it s oozes style and high quality food , loved our time there , dining is not only about food but also about experience .. loved it

We had a nice lunch here. The food was good but not incredible. Service was also good. Overall positive experience.

This was the most expensive plate of pasta I have ever encountered. For $38 I expected more than 10 pieces of large tube manicotti, unstuffed and meagrely coated with anchovy and panchetta source containing a few pieces of finely chopped panchetta. Admittedly tasty, but this amounted to atrocious extortion for which no fine flavours could compensate. To add to this, the wine price was outrageous at $21 a glass. In all a most unsavoury dining experience. This restaurant did not live up to expectations

The price is quite expensive (this menu is 28aud) and I was disappointed at first when I saw the visuals. But when I tried it, the risotto was really delicious. The bread before the meal was difficult to eat because the powder on the outside fell off. Kindness is average. The serving people seem a bit distracted.

The level of rudeness displayed by the customer service over the phone was shocking.

Excellent food and service

Everthing about this restaurant was amazing !!!!

Very athentic and very good restaurant

As usual, a fabulous night at Fratelli. It is hands down my favourite Potts Point dining experience. Last night was bustling but all credit to GianMichele fo making sure that we were very well cared for with a flow of delicious food and wonderful wines and cocktails. And with excellent help from Lorenzo and Gigi. It s always so much fun and great food. The Bistecca was outstanding. And the scampi pasta is always delicious! Brava team. Dietary restrictions: Gluten free (but the pasta is indistinguishable it s so good.

Fine, but not 50 best. I booked this having found it on the 50 best website, and it does not belong there. It is a perfectly good (and clearly very popular) local trattoria, but it is not great. A good carpaccio, perfectly fine if uninspired pasta, *very* ordinary wine pairings. If I were them Id asked to be removed from the 50 best site as the expectation is not nearly met and that seems unfair on the restaurant.

Great food, atmosphere and friendly staff that went out of their way to to go above and beyond for us!

Excellent food and service! Dean is the real deal!

Perfect lunch with the best service and the best food in a fantastic venue.

Not what it used to be. It had been a few years since I d been, went back a few months ago and was so disappointed. No flavour, no innovation, and overpriced. They are milking the good name they built up after years of providing great food. It s a shame, but you re better off spending your money elsewhere.

We ducked in to get out of a rain storm. The food was just ok. Dishes were oddly seasoned. Our waitress was very nice, answered all our questions with grace, and was very attentive. So no complaints there. But for 200 dollars Id like to say more than its okay.

Very nice atmosphere for a date night. Service was great! We got the specials and they were amazing.

Outstanding in every way! We received a very warm welcome from Gigi .fabulous, very helpful with the menu and specials and proud of the wines!!!! Dean, Sabre and Marcus are quite a trio of servers. The dinners were fabulous, I had the Tagliatelle special with tiny clams and my husband had the Scampi Spaghetti. Gigi is one of the most outstanding servers I have ever met. He is professional yet very personable, knowledgeable and fun! Fratelli Paradiso is the closest restaurant to one in Sicily or the North End of Boston!

Amazing people, amazing food, amazing atmosphere Vegetarian options: May not be on the menu but if you ask for it. They will make for you Dietary restrictions: Very understanding and helpful Parking: Street parking if your lucky Kid-friendliness: There is no kides menu but they are happy to accomidate Wheelchair accessibility: There are no stairs

Friendliness and friendliness of the staff, very tasty food, quiet environment. Thank you also for giving us free coffee and a taste of Tiramisu each. Attached are photos of some dishes taken, but photos are missing of: spaghettini with scampi, lasagnetta, rigatoni with Bolognese ragù (all excellent). Well see you again soon!

Everything I ate here was so fresh and so flavourful. Loved the atmosphere as well and the service was very attentive! Definitely going back!!!

On the extraordinary evening of Feb 1st at 730 in Potts Point, Fratelli Paradiso not only surpassed culinary expectations but created an unforgettable symphony of flavors. The exceptional food choices danced on our palates, blending with the enchanting ambiance of the location. The pricing, a delightful surprise given the extraordinary experience, added to the overall satisfaction. Yet, what truly elevated this memorable evening was the outstanding service provided by Isabella. Hailing from Poland with an Italian accent, Isabellas expertise transformed the night into a celebration of gastronomy and camaraderie. Her graceful attentiveness, akin to an art form, ensured every moment was a testament to the joy of savoring exceptional cuisine in wonderful company. Fratelli Paradiso, with its remarkable food, charming location, and reasonable pricing, found its pinnacle in Isabellas exceptional service an evening graced by her presence, making it a truly splendid and grateful experience

My most favourite restaurant in Sydney. I cant believe its been more than 20 years of amazing experiences. Thankyou to everyone involved past and present. PS if you like chardonnay ask Albi about his Mt Etna fave! Dietary restrictions: Gluten Free is available

An exquisite 3 course meal Not to be missed. Top notch & good portion sizes too Staff are very attentive. Compliments to the catering team 100% effort Thankyou so much x

Food was wonderful, service quick and polite, menu great variety to choose from. Nice size restaurant, not over crowded easy to have a conversation.

Fratelli Paradiso is an institution in Potts Point - the food is fresh, well prepared and portion sizes are reasonable without being too much. We shared 3 starters for 4 people and then ordered a main each without sides and it was plenty for us. Wine list is good with a range in styles and price (including Italian wines). Service was improved from previous visits (maybe we were lucky and had a nice waiter). Monday dining is also a plus. Be sure to book as the restaurant fills up quickly every night.

We had the best lunch ever. The food and service was incredible and we met some people on the day who will be lifelong friends. Cant wait to go back.

Didnt enjoy the food much service was a bit posh bit stuck up service for food thats subpar Pasta was undercooked Lasgna was very lack luster shallow flavours I didnt enjoy much of anything. The tomato salad was over ripe, no sweetness or sourness plain and basic. The calamari was salty and plain as heck Batter was dull Wish I could have given a better review, but I found it overpriced and pretentious

Just outstanding. I ve been going for over 30 yrs. I cannot reach their level of cooking. Such wonderful and simple Italian food.

Great food and excellent service!

I found the veal to be tough and sinewy, the green vegetable seemed old, hard to masticate, let alone swallow. Service good and staff pleasant although super busy. I only had a main course and dessert and found that main course no where near as good as I remember from two years ago. A seat at a bench was particularly uncomfortable and the atmosphere was very noisy and a tad too dark. In the end I was not charged for the veal, which was kind. Couple beside me also had veal and said their s was tender. Might have been my bad luck! The tiramisu was excellent(as I remember it) and the coffee also.

Went there spontaneously from another recommendation. Did not disappoint. Food was great & service from Dean was excellent. It s even dog friendly. Highly recommend.

A divine lunch Dietary restrictions: Excellent for coeliac diners Food : 5/5 |

The food and service was so good I can t stop thinking about it.

It was a solid Italian restaurant. The highlight of the night was the prosciutto and melons, followed by the roasted chicken. The scampi spaghetti and risotto were both good but not impressive and slightly undercooked. The pork fillet and the fish were both pretty bland. The famed tiramisu was also just okay. The service was okay but it was freezing inside the restaurant while we were sitting facing the blower of the AC. We didn t have a proper four-person seating and the lighting was too dark and the crowd too rowdy for us to enjoy the meal, unfortunately.

Classic neighborhood Italian

The food was excellent, however the main course took too long to arrive...- Matt

Good food and good service .

The arrogant waiter offered no apology for the first two wines selected being out of stock and it was all downhill from there. My overcooked deep-fried Farinata (entree) hidden under a pile of lettuce literally exploded when I tried to cut it. Chicken dish was bland without the small amount of accompanying aeoli. An expensive disappointment. Tip: don t believe sycophantic reviews in glossy magazines.

Its an institution for a reason.

Great food, service and night. Thank you!

Great breakfast

Overrated food and mains didnt arrive after over an hour after entrees....

small servings and average food for the price you pay. great service and a good vibe

Literally the most insane lamb ragut pasta ever EVER in the history of the entirety of the human existence. Or atleast in my life. FIREEEEEEE

Good food, prompt service. Only complaint is you are squeezed in like sardines.

Had the tiramisu, it was OK. No texture (too soft) and oversoaked in coffee

Amazing experience here for Valentines Day, Fratelli Paradiso is truly one of the best restaurants in Sydney! The decor was amazing and the customer service is truly next level. Our waiter was attentive (but not hovering) and split our pasta in two on 2 separate plates (as we were sharing). Really next level service which made the experience so lovely. Not to mention the food and flavor combinations these were incredible and was something me and my partner had never tasted before. Couldn t recommend more!

Brilliant food!!

a real restaurant !

Doesn t miss. Always a treat

Fish of the day was beautiful. Excellent service.

Fine dinning. Fantastic food. Even in the lunchtime still very busy . Long waiting for service Come here again, even it s 4pm on Saturday , still fully occupied. So popular!

One of my favourite restaurants in Sydney. Service and food on point, and so much genuine hospitality that is provided until the very end of your experience. Great for all occasions.

Food experience was varied bread was nothing to write home about and given the price, a bit disappointing. Scallops were good, dressing great but a bit on the small side as you can see in the picture. Pasta, though, was delicious. Perfectly cooked pasta (which sounds like it should be a given but youd be surprised) and amazing flavour for the meat. Finally, tiramisù amazing. The spongey bit of the cake is PROPERLY and authentically soaked through, tastes delicious. Ive seen other reviews here, and my two cents on the common complaints: Service our server was great, friendly, greeted with a smile, not too pushy, and fast. We wanted to split a pasta dish because we werent too hungry and he serve it to us already split in to bowls, which was very thoughtful. However, we did notice another server who definitely did not have the same attitude or tone as ours. I wouldnt say he was rude but it was a noticeable difference, so I think it really depends on who you get. Portion size please note that the pasta in my pictures are HALF portion. As mentioned above, the server kindly pre-split our pasta as I wanted to share with my partner. That said, the portions are rather small, and had I not already snacked beforehand I would probably still be hungry even with a full portion and the sides. Price as others have noted, unfortunately not great given the portion size. Ambience is also just kind of ok given the price point. I would expect something either a bit more upscale of a vibe or something that doesnt cost as much.

Our initial waiter who seated us was lovely (Lorenzo), but his colleague who looked after our table thereafter was not so. Not sure if it was the fact we werent drinking (I am 8 months pregnant) and didnt go all out with starters (again pregnant so no cured meats or cheese for me), but he was arrogant and rude. The dishes we ate were actually quite nice, ravioli and lasagne both prepared and seasoned well. Unfortunatel my very last fork of lasagne I crunched down into something that crumbled, I had to spit out to see what it was as I thought it could have chipped a tooth. I pulled out some shell, which looked like shellfish. I left it on my fork so that the kitchen staff could be alerted. I let our waitstaff know and he completely ignored what I had said and asked if I wanted tiramisu. No acknowledgement, no apology on behalf of the kitchen. Im sure he did not care to let them know. He looked at us and treated us as if we were cheap and would want a discount. Not the intention of letting him know. Im an operations manager and we cant and wont improve without feedback. I dont think its ok for any restaurant let alone a restaurant of Fratellis calibre and price point for the portions. This was one of our last nice meals out together before our first child arrives. So I wanted to treat my partner (who is Italian). Its a shame it has been tainted with shellfish in our lasagne and such arrogant service. There are a few reviews to this nature and I can only guess its the same wait staff. Maybe management dont care because they are only interested in people that spend the big bucks so they only nurture these patrons and their relationships. This is why Sydney get such a bad wrap for their snobby service in comparison to Melbourne restaurants. Who value all their patrons no mater from what walks of life and everyone is treated equally. Wouldnt dine here again. Parking: Terrible parking options (Saturday night). We were late having to circle the streets a few times.

This place is a fantastic Italian restaurant with a warm and inviting atmosphere. The food is simply amazing.

Wonderful food and service. We had the Scallop Risotto & Prawn pasta. Fabulous start to finish. Can t wait to return.

Enrico and Giovanni wont read this, but Fratelli Paradiso took centre court away from the incumbents when opening in Challis Avenue. In business school they teach you differentiation, but this is another level.

Havent visited this old favorite restaurant for four years. The atmosphere is still there and the staff are still as cool as they used to be - but the food, for the seriously hefty prices, is now disappointing. So in that department, which is what its all about, is ordinary.

Scampi spaghetti is so good! The best pasta I ve ever had.

LOVE this place

A nice semi fine dining place to go in the neighborhood. Nice atmosphere in the restaurant. Staff were lovely and nice. Pasta cooked nicely and taste delicious. The scampi, i thought it will be grilled (maybe it was but taste like it steamed) i might be wrong. But it cooked nicely. Steak to finishing the meal was perfect Will surely come around here again.

Trip down memory lane - a true Potts Point stalwart. Food remains a true tribute to regional Italy, and great wine list includes some rare finds. Unfortunately service was a bit patchy. Although our main waiter was attentive and engaging, an incident where a glass of red wine was accidentally tipped over a friend of mine was met with a very casual, flippant attitude unbefitting a place of this calibre.

came for a nice Italian meal while here for work and the service was pretty average because for the first 15 minutes i sat there with no interaction but just listening to multiple staff asking to leave early. So decided to get takeaway and the meal tasted nice but for $40 the size was below average.

We booked for our anniversary start at 6.45pm been told that its a 2h sitting, we got there 15mn earlier and the server didnt greet us, he just asked us do you have a table? First of all he didnt greet us and second he couldnt find our booking. We requested on the booking for a table sitting at the booth, He sat us next to the bartender, narrow and uncomfortable place. Tables are super close to each other. We were rushing the moment we sat down. The waitstaff cleared our plate too early as we havent even finished yet. I asked for a sweet Margarita, the waitstaff told me that they dont do sweet Margarita, I myself was bartender and now work in Venu Management hospitality for 10 year in high end fine dining with famous chef based in Sydney. Ive never heard someone said they cannot do a sweet Margarita. The waitstaff didnt apologise and rolled his eyes on us. We ordered the pane, it was not fresh bread, really hard, and felt like it was yesterday bread. However, the rest of the food we ordered was great at standard but nothing outstanding. The calamari was amazing, balanced, and verry well with the sauce and nice soft crunch texture. The Tagliatelle with lamb was delicious. Nice and fresh dough made. The ribeye was perfectly cooked, hat to the chef, potatoes was ok, nothing special. And the green salad had nice vinegrette flavor. We ended up with the tiramisu, it was nice well made, delicious. But the moment we finished the last bite of the tiramisu, the waitstaff came and said Are you done? By asking twice. As he can see we were still holding our spoon and finishing up the last cream. He took the plate and straight away came with the efpot and the bill as we didnt ask for it and waited for us to pay. We didnt get the 2h sitting but only 1h15mn. We wanted to get more drinks as digestive but the waitstaff was really unprofessional. He seemed to work there for a really long time but really need to improve he work skills. We gave $15 tip as me and my partner both work hospitality, we appreciate the kitchen work and other servers who were kind and friendly, but the one who serve us, looks like in the late 40s, short shaved hair, about 1.75m tall, no glasses, he did not deserve it. We would come again for the foods would expect a better customer service next time.

Quite expensive, but the food was excellent (especially the lamb). The staff were extremely attentive and very friendly. Definitely recommended for a special occasion.

Great food, with a good atmosphere. Had a date night and everything was perfect! Can t wait to come back!

Great lasagna

This place feels like an Italian institution, and did not disappoint. The staff were at attentive and welcoming, and the food was amazing - light and good portions.

Was really excited to take my best friend here for dinner and ask her to be my bridesmaid via a message on a cake. I brought the cake with me and asked our grumpy old Italian waiter to bring it out at the end, however he refused and just stored it in the fridge. The entire time, he rushed us rudely. Food was very average and service terrible, considering the table behind us had a huge birthday cake brought out by him at the end of their meal. Clearly he allowed it for them but treated us differently. Won t be returning, there are much better restaurants in Sydney.

My favourite Italian in Sydney. Try the risotto Food

Was a little frantic at first when we first turned up as no one seemed to want to greet us. Once we were sat the wait staff were nice and attentive. Food was great but the portion sizes were a little smaller than I would have hoped. Definitely preferred 10 William St better but this was still nice

There are better fine dining Italian restaurants in Sydney which I wished I went to instead. I was excited to visit Fratelli Paradiso, a hatted restaurant serving my favourite cuisine, Italian. However, unfortunately my dining experience was unpleasant both on the food and service side and I won t be visiting again. Firstly when we arrived for our Saturday 8pm booking, we were seated at a shared bar table instead of getting the white table cloth service most other diners had. The stool was too high for the table so I had to lean over for most of the night and also didn t have anywhere to hang my winter jacket. It was an awkward arrangement as we had to share the bar table with another couple. Ordered the crumbed mozzarella with winter greens for starter. While I enjoyed the cheese (it was something different, never had mozzarella crumbed in this method), the winter greens were hard to swallow (literally) as they were over cooked and stringy. Bread is not on the house, it is $5 a serve. We wanted to order a serve and got a basket of 4 slices of sourdough with holes so big in all slices that you could say we really only got 3 slices in total. I don t think it s acceptable to be serving slices like this, especially when you are charging for it. The bread was also stale, it would have been nice if it was warm upon serving. For main course ordered the hyped spaghettini with scampi, cherry tomato, Napoli and bisque. The pasta itself was cooked well, but I wouldn t say anything stand out. I was mostly disappointed that there wasn t much depth to the sauce as I was expecting more bisque flavours but it was mainly a napoli based tomato sauce in all honesty. Served with two scampi in the shell on the side and one piece of scampi in the pasta itself, it s on the overpriced side. It would have been nice if the chef also cleaned up the plate before serving, presentation is everything in my opinion especially if it s chef hatted. In comparison I had an amazing bisque spaghettini at Kindred (another chef hatted Italian restaurant in Sydney) which I wish was still on their menu as I was tossing up to go dine there instead that evening but chose Fratelli Patadiso instead. Lastly, the service was appalling on the evening, staff were not attentive which was one reason why I didn t bother complaining about the holey bread on the evening and partly also because I didn t want to make a scene and also felt the staff wouldn t have cared anyway. I tried to move my empty water glass to the edge of the table so a waiter could fill it up for me but that failed so I had to resort to asking a waiter to fill it up. Just not the level of attentiveness you would expect at a chef hatted restaurant in my opinion when you are paying these prices. I ve had far better Italian dining experiences (and pasta and bread for that matter) in Sydney (would highly recommend Kindred and A Mare) that I would not recommend here and wished I had gone somewhere else. We were in and out within an hour of the venue, and coincidentally same as the couple that we had to share the bar table with actually, so that could be saying something too?

The coffee had an impeccable Italian taste, absolutely incredible and best I have ever had! Amazingly textured depth of flavour and wonderfully creamy taste! Great atmosphere too.

Honestly only half these guys who are waiters there,actually care,the other half should find another job. I have gone there a few times and the food is ok,but the waiters seem not to care where they put you,if for instance you ask for a table that is away from a noisy table where they try to put you,and you ask about another table on the other side of the restaurant that is quite,they say that s booked,then you have to ask when is it booked,they say in a hour and 20mins,so then you actually have to negotiate to get the quiet table,as you only want to have a main,and will not be that long,they don t offer because the may have to split a table and reset,just really lazy really. With some attitude the waiter,then gives you the table. You then have to flag another waiter down to actually get a menu after 5 or 10 mins waiting around. Just think because they are busy,half the staff treat you as second class citizens.

A long time favourite, a Potts Point institution. Impeccable service and delicious food. I have been visiting for over 13 years and they never put a foot wrong.

Lovely business lunch. Good Menu. Lovely atmosphere

Great food

The most disappointing part of the meal was the Spaghettini with scampi. 2 tiny pieces of scampi on essentially pasta with a tomato sauce. I won t return. There are too many other Italian restaurants in Sydney that are tastier.

Delicious dinner at Fratelli Paradiso. You just know they ve been making good Italian food for years. Their experience shows.

This place never disappoints -- sit outside and you might even spot the occasional movie star walking past.

Calamari was excellent- like in Italy Risotto was very good- flavourful and al dente Fish was average- good texture and moist but flavourless Spaghetti with scampi was alright. The scampi was really delicious but the pasta and sauce was not great Tiramisu - amazing- not too sweet Service - good Vibe- very good If you just want a delicious plate of pasta with seafood- go to Frigatorria up the road- order the Gamberi. If you want to wine and dine and are willing to fork out $$$$ for some decent food and a good vibe, come here.

All the dishes we ordered are so wonderfully done.... yummy the service is very friendly and attentive get there early, it can be busy!

Excellent

But where else ?!!! Say less , this is dining at its finest, Basta!!!!

Outstanding place for takeaway ice creams with some seating. Quality range of original creations. Keen to go back.

Food was good, maybe a little expensive but worth it. Staff were accommodating, let us serve a cake that i had bought for a birthday, after initially saying they didn t allow outside cakes. The fried olives with goat cheese were the best.

We just tried to call to order some pizza for pick up. Olivia just picked up the phone being really rude and hung up the phone twice. Would never recommend this restaurant if this is how they treat their customers. We are just here for one night and thanks to that we are having a bad experience. Thank you Olivia.

Calamari was excellent risotto had no flavor

A group of 6 of us visited on Sunday for lunch, no one approached us to take our order for at least 30 minutes. The waiters blindly walked in and out of the restaurant without glancing around the room to see if we needed anything. Waited another 20 minutes with a drinks menu open to order a bottle of wine with lunch. Food came out before we were even able to order wine - not to mention they didnt have half of the wine in stock on the menu... Service was quite simply arrogant and dismissive. Food was average apart from the scampi spaghetti, the vitello milanese was tasteless and boring and the fish came with unshelled broadbeans!

Great zoo.

Amazing dinner at Fratellis - Bora looked after us so amazing - fantastic service cuisine and wine recommendations - beef ragu the best and fish fabulous. An institution of note Long live Turkey Antalya !!

Great food , knowledgeable and helpful staff. The restaurant was buzzing. A great venue.

This is literally one of the best Italian places Ive been to.

Trading on ancient reputation. Overpriced and understaffed

Good food

Fabulous Christmas Dinner with my friends - loved the food & very attentive service. Thank you team!

Amazing! Their lamb pasta is to die for!!!

Friendly staff. Not quite impressed with what we were served with. I wouldnt say the best choice in the area

Always consistently good We visited this little local gem again after a 2 year Covid absence Nothings changed - good service, fresh tasty food and a good wine list to choose from

Consistently excellent

Fantastic team and service, sensational food, wine list and cocktails. Hard to pick favourites but the Lasagne, Tiramisu and Sardinian Cannonau were definitely up there. An all-round five star experience. Thank you!

Everything was perfect, they even brought the sun out great experience

Ordered a lasagna takeaway - are you having a laugh? It was enough for a toddler. The tiniest portion you have ever seen. Disappointed

Tasty food and good portion. Nice place for a date :)

The pasta was delicious!! In fact, all the items we ate were very tasty including their focaccia. Highly recommend

Delicious menu Excellent cusumer service and attention to detail

Service was awesome, thanks Isabella!! Fish was cooked to perfection and dessert was very yummy.

Good foods which i can rate 3 out of 5. The calamari and homemade pasta are freat, the cauliflowers were a bit oily. The restaurant is nice but it s a bit dark and noisy to enjoy our meal

Excellent food and great staff

The food is out of this world delicious and the servers are truly lovely. If you re thinking about coming here, do it.

We had a group of several people in our booking and the venue was able seat us very well. Everything we ordered came out in a timely manner and the quality was amazing. The atmosphere was very cosmopolitan and stylish. Parking can be tricky but worth the walk!

always amazing food and service, Grazie !

I ve been coming back for 12 years. Delivers every time!

Excellent food. All of us enjoyed our meal very much. Be warned though that the Primi portions arent very generous. Excellent service as well. But staggeringly expensive. Much as I enjoyed the food I wont be going back.

One of my favorite restaurants in Sydney. Staff are always friendly and manage to remember my wine preferences from my last visit, which was some months ago. Food never disappoints, also has to be the best desserts around town.

Excellent modern Italian food with spicy attentive service. Catch an Uber here as parking is not great.

Good wine but pasta was very salty

One of my favourite Sydney restaurants. Amazing food, great hospitality, wonderful vibe.

Consistently delicious Italian dishes - I have been dining at Fratelii since the boys opened and have never been disappointed. A local must to experience

Underwhelming - one waiter was fantastic, extremely polite and attentive - while the other was rushing us to finish and leave. Pasta was flavourless for the price tag and when asking a water about a food item, they somehow felt inclined to squeeze the food item in his assessment...

Great service. The food was good, but not the best Italian Ive had and probably a bit overpriced for what it is.

Great restaurant, with a lively bubbly atmosphere. There team are friendly and upbeat. The food was excellent $$ and wine selection is very Italian and VV expensive $$$$ i didnt feel yhere was a good range unless tounwant to spend $200 to $450 s bote. Not sure I would rush back but definitely worth a visit.

Authentic, fresh & delicious Italian. The flavours of everything were amazing, our waiter Raphael was knowledgeable, helpful & friendly. Highly recommend!

The food is good but nothing special. Pretty small portions for the price that you are paying eg. A pasta course can be $46 Service was pretty terrible. Waiter would clear the table before we were ready. It was my friends birthday and I told them to bring a cake as a surprise at the end. This was communicated to them multiple times. However they ruined the surprise by bringing in the dessert fork at the end when we did not openly order dessert as a group. We ordered two entree and 3 mains. The entrees came pretty quickly, but we waited over 90 mins after for the mains to arrive. Server did not apologise or communicate why this has been delayed as well. Quite enjoy the food but it really wasn t anything you can t get from any other pasta shop. So will not be returning again and will also not be recommending this to other friends!

Came for dinner here on a Friday night. Food was delicious and service was impeccable. Highly recommend if youre looking for an Italian place in Potts.Point area

The finest Italian food in Sydney Great pasta dishes The lasagne is a must dish for anyone who wants to try superior pasta dish Wine manu has outstanding choices Do not miss this place if you are local or visiting Sydney

Very helpful Kid-friendliness: They all have a smile on them as if they all owned the place not just workers Food : 5/5 |

Place is fun. Food excellent but the staff make this place.

Awesome spot and an institution for Sydney. Food, wine and vibe on point as always.

The food was overpriced and disappointing. I use to love going there three years ago. Today will be my last time. Also when I came to pay they overcharged me and didn t own it or refund the overcharge. Crazy bad experience.

I can not believe the way in which the owner/manager spoke to the staff, specifically the bartender (I think his name was George? and he was very kind and professional). No one deserves to be spoken to like that no matter what and especially in front of customers! I was disgusted and I will not be giving my money to these people who treat their staff so poorly. A shame as the food and service was exceptional.

Always a wonderful Italian meal and friendly service.

I ve never been somewhere with such switched on waiters, who all genuinely seem passionate about their jobs and the food they re serving. Can t wait to come back; also the lamb ribs are unbelievable, 10/10

Great friendly service, buzzing vibe, changing list of open wines by the glass and hearty Italian food.

Wonderful outdoor seating with authentic Italian. Double up on the tiramisu!

Superb

Amazing food and amazing people! I cannot wish better in my life :) Ole scampi spaghetti! SQUISITISSIMO

Delicious food,

Best Italian in Sydney

Simple menu good food - BUT the same meal we would have pre-Covid for $45 is now $75 !! I know restaurateurs want to make up for their losses but seriously!

Had a great meal for my daughters birthday all the staff were wonderful

Delicious

Ordered the home delivered dinner for two. Aside from being left outside the apartment building at 7:30am without ringing the bell or calling first (delivery was supposed to be between 9am-6pm), the food was very basic and bland. It was a shame as it seemed liked a great idea for a special night, but given the price I wouldn t recommend.

Bought some takeaway pastries in the morning and we got absolutely ripped off. Two tarts, two savoury croissants and one quiche. All individually sized and the price for all of them = $70 They don t display prices on anything which is totally illegal.

Authentic food and top notch service. The best Italian in Sydney!

This is the best Italian restaurant in Sydney

Disappointing to say the least. We had expectations from the restaurant, however it didn t deliver on any level. Food was average. Entrees were served within 5 minutes of placing order. Nothing that was on the menu online was actually available in the restaurant. We found the service poor. Not friendly at all and minimal product knowledge. Won t be going back.

Very enjoyable lunch. Great menu choice with delicious hand made on site pasta. Recommended.

Had dinner there with friends. Food was ok-ish, but not mind blowing or innovative. Pasta was a bit too hard to chew on. Absolutely no value for the price. Service was disappointing, looking at the fact that we received wrong dishes twice. Also ordered snacks, but arrived too late. Moreover, we had to remind staff multiple times on items we ordered. All in all, we did not have a great experience.

Excellent food

had to wait half an hour for our table despite booking. Very bland meal, and overpriced...extremely noisy

The flavour of the food was delicious especially the scampi pasta and the passion fruit custard dessert. On the downside the serving size for the scampi was small and probably not worth $45 for the main meal. The rib eye was ok but I ve had better ones for that price eg $140.
