I stopped here before a play last night. My friends were all late, so I sat at the bar. This place gets really busy on play nights, but they made every effort to accommodate people, offering them a choice of sitting at the bar or outside once the tables were full. The bar staff were knowledgeable and able to recommend an appropriate beer for me (as I'm not familiar with Italian beer), and it was exactly what I wanted.

The risotto was delicious (I think it was caramelised onion, raddichio, and parmesan). It's a bit annoying to have to go and read the blackboard to see what's on offer (I'd rather sit and read a menu), while servers brush past you. The place isn't cheap, but the prices are pretty much in line with the other restaurants in the area.

It's probably one of the better venues if you're heading for a play at the STC and don't want to stop in the Rocks first. However, I have a feeling that conversation might be difficult if you're not alone!

I had the 'frittata' yesterday at Walsh Bay. It was a stingy plate of scrambled eggs with three pieces of goats cheese on top. No bread, salad or any attempt to make it look appetising. I would have sent it back except I was at a birthday lunch and didn't want to spoil it for others. I had a friend's empty latte glass sitting in front of me for 15 minutes and then had to ask to be served, although there were plenty of 'personale' hanging about. Won't be back.
