I really enjoy coming to Bambini but I have never had a decent main meal here. The entrees are great and it's worth going for the affogato alone but the mains are just okay - I'm constantly disappointed with what I order.
However they have great wine and I simply adore the atmosphere of the restaurant - very NY. The service is wonderful and I always have a great time here - I just can't find a main to my liking. It's a great catchup/ business/ birthday venue. Fab ambience.

Lovely breakfast atmosphere. Snug, but bustling enough to wake you up and get the day started. Menu was great with plenty of breakfast vegetarian options. Unfortunately, the same can't be said for the lunch or dinner menu. However, the food was fresh and simple with plenty of flavour.
Service was a little lax. I didn't get my sides that I ordered and the coffees were quite slow. In addition, there was only a small fingerful of salt in a dish the size of a 50 cent piece to serve our table of six.
Vegatarians: Breakfast only. Unless you're excited by the token veg risotto which plagues most antiquated Sydney menus.

Have been wanting to come here for a long time and had great expectations. If you are after a quiet ambience, you probably won't find it here either lunch or dinner. We came for lunch on a day off for the wine and food, knowing the place would be roudy with business lunchers.
A great wine list and menu. For entree, we had the beetroot, fig and gorgonzola carpachio which were refreshing, matched well with a good Marlborough Savvy. For mains we had the veal, very tasty. Best described as a schnitzel, crunchy on the outside and tender in the middle, came with a creamy Milanese sauce. Capers worked well. The mash was good too. A good choice of cabs to match.
I agree with the previous review criticising the brulee. However, if you're a sweet tooth...even if it's bad, its good coffee was excellent. Also agree with the previous comments, the service does try a little too hard. We were well looked after nonetheless.
Will definitely be back after work sometime to explore the wine list more thoroughly. Probably best experience would be in the wine room with the tapas menu.

The Trust Cafe is always packed for dinner service and it is pretty much impossible to get in without a booking.
The mains (fish, duck, veal, steak) are probably a touch above average and priced at the mid 30 range. Servings are reasonable in size maybe on the lesser side, and the mains are well complemented in terms of sauces and sides/accompaniments.
Desserts: I highly recommend the Valhrona tart with blood orange sorbet. This is perfect, the tart is dark and chocolate rich, but still retains sweetness and a very nice serving size. Creme brulee - not recommended, comes in a bowl, too thick/rich and plain, minimal toffee crunch, feels like a giant bowl of creme
almond pannacotta - not bad but definitely overshadowed by the Valhrona tart
Won't be back except late for the Valhrona tart.

Hmmm - I suppose it's what you get when you come to a restaurant like this. Decent food, decent service and a decent bill. They try pretty hard here, the chef/s do a good job with the food, however it's nothing exceptional and the waiters have an air of pompousness to them, however are quite friendly and well versed in the foods/wines.
Not really my la di dah cup of tea, but still a pretty good experience. The spag with prawns is good, as is the duck (although a little on the oversalted side). Steak mediocre, and veal was quite alright. Like I said, they get points for trying hard, but this could be the problem.

I dined here for lunch a week ago. The food and service were both good. I had the daily special of snapper on a fennel mash which was very nice. Admittedly the weather outside was overcast, but inside the restaurant at one of the rear tables, you could barely see it was so dark.
I'm glad I went, but I won't be rushing back.

This place is nostalgic yet trendy, paying homage to its heritage and the simplicity of flavours. Nestled in a restored CBD building in an otherwise boring dining strip, the cafe offers warm flavours that bring memories of home yet affirm you are right on board with the Sydney dining scene. I savoured a delightfully oily confit of duck followed by a creamy panna cotta with cherries that transported me to my childhood mixing bowl.

Both food and wine are a bit on the pricey side but the quality of cooking is very, very good. Food is well flavoured but portions could be just a tad larger. Will certainly dine here again.

Ate here last night, was thoroughly impressed, the service was good, beautiful food, great wine list, nice atmosphere. Had the chicken liver and black truffle pate with an almond toast, was a hit lovely and rich, duck confit was succulent and always goes well with a good pinot noir dessert with a chocolate tart and blood orange sorbet. Can't go wrong and good strong coffee to finish. Will be coming back, well done.

What a great little space with food and service that is slick . Yje pate for entree is divine and if you're a meat eater you can't go past the steak. Desserts are beautiful with the Creme Brulee a standout.
