I have been to this place few times. The food was always exceptional. The prices are very reasonable as well. The friendly staff was very welcoming and provided fast service. Will surely recommend and go back again. Though it was very busy on saturday night, I was given very good service.

Came here for a casual dinner. Food was nice, only I would have preferred if the staff had cleaned up the table they had in for lunch hours earlier, there was food scraps smeared all over the floor under the table next to us. Not very nice. Would come back for the food, but would hope it was a bit cleaner next time.

Been here 3 times and had their lunch special which is reasonably priced at $14, with decent portion sizes and good taste. Service is a little slow and a little unattentive and the furniture is a little old but its the food that counts and I like it here.

Not a bad place, however, the fettuccine pasta I ordered was chopped up when it should have been left just as is. The flavour in my pasta dish was also a bit absent. Besides that, the ambience and service is ok, so overall not such a bad experience.

My Husband and I went here for my birthday dinner! We were greeted very nicely and seated in the corner (which we preferred to have our own privacy).

We started with ordering entrees-3 cheese Pizza (highly recommended) and the eataliana Special bruschetta. The service is very quick and the staff is very interactive. The entrees were quite filling and very tasty. For the main, my husband ordered a Seafood pizza and I opted for a penne pasta in a pink sauce and a risotto.

The pizza was just too good (one of the best we've had in a long time) and the pasta was very creamy and rich. The risotto is also one of the dishes recommended here.

The best part was when the owner gave us a tiramisu cake as our birthday treat!
Had a lovely time here. Will def go back again and again as this is one of the best italian restaurant in this suburb.

My hubby and I visited Etaliana on its opening night. It was our wedding anniversary and as hubby and I are both shift workers we needed something quick and close to home.

The service was friendly and quick, actually a little too quick, we were still picking at the remains of our entree when the mains arrived. The food was lovely and serving sizes huge. We were given free wine And free gelato, this could have been as it was opening night, it could have been that hubby mentioned our anniversary when he booked.

We have returned, mainly as take away customers, although this is due to our shift work more than other factors. We have also advised friends who have eaten there, and who have also returned. We will be back, well to be honest, hubby is picking up a pizza now! Found this website whilst searching google for the menu.

Eat here if you want to wait 1.5 hrs for your food. Made the decision to eat here after receiving the new menu and branding in our letter box. We arrived on a Sunday night at 6:30 pm as we wanted a quick meal to finish the weekend.

The bruschetta and three cheese garlic pizzas for our entrees were yummy and came out fairly quickly, but it all went down hill from there, we then proceeded to wait 1.5 hours for 5 mains to show up (Chicken schnitzel, 3 pasta dishes and creamy garlic prawns). The place was full, but by no means was it a large restaurant, there was probably about 20 other people dining in there and everyone was waiting for their main meals.

We hate complaining about the long wait time for our meals at restaurants, as some of our dinner party have worked in restaurants before so have seen first hand what happens when customers complain about wait times and their meals, whilst this is a gross stereotype, we made the decision to wait it out and see what would happen.

The waitress and senior staff could clearly see that we were unhappy with the wait time, but made no effort to come over to us to see if we wanted more drinks or to even advise us of how long our food would take. Just as we were contemplating leaving, our meals showed up.

The food was edible, but nothing to rave about and after a 1.5 hour wait for our meals they really needed to be spectacular to win us over. Now as the place is under new management, the notice board outside clearly states some opening specials, purchases over $60 is 2 free scoops of gelato whilst for purchases over $100 you receive a free bottle of house wine.

Our bill came in at $116. We decided to not bring up the specials to see if they in good faith would mention it to us, no such luck. So, we promptly paid and left.

And finally, as a group of 6 we were charged $3.50 for 2 bottles of tap water. It didn't taste like Sydney tap water, so one can only assume that it was filtered water. Whilst, Marque Restaurant charges $5 p/p for their tap water which comes from "a $6000 Italian-made system that filtrates, chills and carbonates tap water" it is after all a 3 hatted restaurant in the city, Eataliana is definitely not that and we definitely won't be back.
