Great place! Came here with my partner on Saturday night and absolutely adored it. The waitress was extremely friendly and provided exceptional service throughout the night. Our food did not take long to arrive at our table, and it was delivered hot and delicious! I was, however, a little surprised at the lower number of customers (at 7pm)... hopefully more people will discover the same experience that my partner and I enjoyed! Will come back soon to try out more of that fantastic menu.

I have been to Insieme 4 times in recent months, and I have decided that this is now my favourite little local Italian restaurant, with quality food and service at a cafe price.

My first visit was with a very fussy friend who decided this was a place I should try. it was a delight! The specials are always interesting and fresh. The portions are large, and the pasta always perfect. My favourite is the spaghetti alla marinara - a truly delicious sauce! Another friend another time had a marinated lamb cutlet special which he declared the best of that kind he had ever eaten, and he too is a fussy one! The stuffed mushrooms entrée is also excellent.

On my first visit, we were greeted in a really friendly way by the very excited waiter(? owner?). My second visit, he remembered me, and has done so on each subsequent visit - great service, and a level f care that I appreciate.

The other lovely touch is the free limoncello I have 3 times received at the end of the meal. A relaxed and easy place, with good quality food at a good price. A perfect regular!

My husband and I had dinner at Insieme using the Living Social Voucher. We always used to drive past Insieme and never knew there was a restaurant tucked away on this street. The location was great, it was on a busy road but still seemed quiet as it was set back a little from the street. Parking was easy as its away from other shops.

When we walked in, the staff was very friendly. There was a young man who had was new and had just started that day and the service he provided was great. There was an older man who I think could have been the owner/manager and he was constantly checking on his customers and making sure they were having a great time. Both staff were very attentive and gave excellent service.

For entrees my husband ordered the fried seafood with tartare sauce and I had the tomatoes with bocconcini cheese. What I must say when we got them was the servings were really generous! One plate would have comfortably served 2 people. The seafood was excellent and I loved my tomato with cheese. It was fresh and had very simple nice flavours.

For mains my husband had the chicken with seeded mustard sauce and I had the fettuccini boscaiola. Both were excellent serving sizes but both myself and my husband were almost full from entrees! The chicken was good although a little too salty, but was still fine to eat. The fettuccini boscaiola was excellent! Seasoned really well and if I hadn't been so full from entrees I would have finished it on the spot.

As both of us couldn't finish the meal (we were very full by now) the owner/manager put them in takeaway containers for us. We were too full to have dessert but we decided to have a coffee/tea to end our meal. When we went to pay for the hot drinks, the owner/manager said we didn't need to pay, even though we should have paid. The owner also came around after dinner to give us 2 complimentary shots of lemoncello. This was such a nice touch and really finished off a generous meal along with excellent service. For this, I have given a value of 10.

Ambience was good but didn't feel as 'cosy'. But the restaurant was clean and modern. Overall, we really enjoyed our dinner and even because we had left overs, we could enjoy the meal the next day!

Came during a weekday lunch. Quite nice ambience inside. Had the vegetarian pizza. Good thin base and delicious and simple toppings. The pizzas are quite large (could only finish half so had to takeaway the other half). One of the better pizzas I've had.

Last friday I went to Insieme cafe around 1 pm for lunch with my group. When I entered to the cafe, the waiter greet us with the word Hi Guys! what a rude, there was no respect. Then we all took sit.

Menu was already in the table. But I wanted to have a glass of water but waiter was talking with the pizza chef and didn't pay attention to us. He came to the table after 10 minutes because he was running and whenever he was free, talking with chef again.

Well, first the entree came garlic and margarita pizza. The pizza was like a biscuit. As I am Italian I know how the italian pizza taste like. I can definitely say, the kitchen staff doesn't know how to make pizza. Garlic and margarita is a simple pizza to make if he can't make that in a proper way. I can't imagine about the rest.
Half of the pizza we finished then we asked for main courses. Main courses was Risotto pescatore, penne siciliana, vegeteriana pizza, gnocchi pomodoro and main special.

I had risotto pescatore and I am surprised it was really nice. All of my friends like food because pasta was very tasty and meat was perfect cook nice accompaniment. We all enjoy the food but not the pizza. Finally I just want to say that, if the people want to go for nice and tasty Italian food I would definitely recommend Insieme for others but never go there for Pizza and service.

I have been Insieme a week ago after a year. It is really changed now. I would say there is lots of changes in food taste and presentations. Me and my couple of friends went there for dinner and we really had a great time. We had main special that was great, the sauce for the meat was really really good. I would say that must be a proper jus. My partner had a plate of simple pasta and it was cooked perfect and sauce is so tasty.

I definitely recommend this place to everybody who really wanna taste proper and balance Italian food.

Great service. The food was extremely fresh, well presented and well prepared. The location is average, though everything else makes up for it tenfold.

I am an Italian expat living in Sydney since 2001. I have been testing several Italian restaurants in search of a real good Italian wood fire oven pizza. I stay away from gourmet pizza places where they put tons of cheap cheese on top of the pizza and/or use an electric oven (i.e. Pizza Hut, Domino's Pizza).
The best pizza is cooked in wood fire ovens, it has a limited/reasonable amount of quality topping (that does not kill the taste of the base) and possibly use Buffalo mozzarella which is much tastier than traditional mozzarella.

Studying nearby at UTS, I used to go to Insieme Café Pizzeria in Broadway quite often. Medium-Large size, Roman style pizzas are very good and real Italian ones. The ambience is also nice. The location, however, is not particularly appealing.

Pros: very good pizzas, nice ambience
Cons: location

My favourite places for real Italian pizza are:

Caffe Moretti (Leichhardt): Medium-Large size Roman style pizzas
Pizza Mario (Surry Hills): Large size Napolytan style pizzas
Rosso Pomodoro (Balmain): Large size Napolytan style pizzas
La Disfida (Haberfield): Large size Napolytan style pizzas
Amici Pizzeria and Antipasto Bar (Cammeray): Medium-Large size Napolytan style pizzas
Amici di Kogarah (Kogarah): Medium size Roman style pizzas
Carpaccio (Leichhardt): Medium size Roman style pizzas

Hope it helps.

We went there on the week-end and we try out this place and the outcome was a nightmare. My partner order pollo valdosana and there was oil everywhere, look like they actually deep fried instead pan fried! I had a vegetarian pizza and it was raw, soggy and the topping smell off!. Its a pity because the place is nice but the service is a bit slow and confused. If you like to eat italian fresh food stay away from this place.
