Possibly the worst Italian food I've ever had. Bad service, overpriced, terrible food. Recommended for anyone who lacks respect for food and likes pain.

Good with the ET voucher. Pasta was very tasty on the night. I ended up taking away half of the pasta as I could not finish it, and by the next day I could tell why it was so tasty. It was soaked in so much butter and olive oil! I'd still return though, maybe try something else

They served me deep fried veal for $32? I felt I could have a nicer meal if I'd bought a frozen ready made veal dinner and sticky date pudding from Woolworths and we would have saved a lot of money. We were very disappointed and felt ripped off.

Got an Entertainment Book Coupon, buy 1 main and get another main free. Had Seafood Pizza, Lasagne, and a kids meal, food was ok, service was good, the young man was very polite. When I looked at the bill, charged me the pizza and lasagne, with the kids meal free. I asked the lady at the cashier, I should get the other main free. She explained to me, she had already deducted the kids meal! Should I get the Lasagne free? She said Kids meal was treated as Main. "For my understanding, anything in the menu under main should be treated as main, but not the kids meal?". She said "Kids meal incl. Drinks, Meal and Dessert, it's a main meal! Thank you for the explanation, she taught me a whole new interpretation of the meaning of Main. Next time when I go to McDonalds, I should order a Happy Main for my kids, but not the Happy Meal.

My wife and I visited this restaurant on a weekend. The food was excellent, mouth watering pasta with one of the nicest pizzas I have eaten in a while. The waiter and waitress were both friendly and were pleased to have us there, they even held the door open on our way out which made us feel welcome. Even though on the night there was a few large tables our meals came out quickly . We will definitely be back, I highly recommend this classy Italian restaurant to everyone.

Me and my partner loved it great friendly warm environment went to The Italian Job on a saturday night when it was busy. The service was amazing always being attended to whilst they had so many other customers to attend to. The food was exceptional with a great variety of food as my partner is fussy and for an affordable price. Definitely going back for more we really enjoyed it.

Not bad, we went on a quiet night and food was good, pizza was fine, but this place was not outstanding, I have nothing against it but there are plenty of places to eat near me and eventually I will be back here only because of the entertainment book. The waiter on the night looked like a bit of a hood, not sure if he wanted to be there.

My wife and I decided to visit this restaurant over valentines day. To our impending disappointment this meant giving up our regular tradition of another restaurant which has perfect meals and
fantastic service.

We ordered the bruscetta pizza for entree and found it was dry, the tomatoes were tasteless and scarce, And there was little flavor (what would be a general theme over the course of the night).

For the mains we ordered risotto and a pizza. To my surprise! The risotto was served with what seemed like normal rice poured over with some cream sauce to make it 'creamy'. Not only did it have little resemblance to risotto, it was tasteless and $26 a serving. The pizza had nice bread, although had very little topping, a whole lot of tomato paste, and two small shaved slices of cheese.

As if we hadn't had enough we decided to go for desert. We had an apple crumble which was on display, presented nicely in their desert fridge upside down in a nice bowl. The apple crumble was served inverted, with a scoop of ice cream. The crumble was scattered all over the bowl, the apple was tasteless & dry, and the crumble itself was yes, crumbly, but soft, no crunch and even less taste than the apple. I can say however that the ice-cream was nice.

The service was friendly, and the restaurant was set out nicely, but the food served, provided for our worst food experience that we have had to pay for. We won't be going back there.

It was my first time visiting and even though it was a busy saturday night the staff were more than friendly and attended to all our needs and the food was great! Pizza was fantastic and the kitchen was spotless! my children had a great time and enjoyed the food as well. Will definitely return and recommend all my friends! Thanks guys!

Too many tables in such a small area meant we were squeezed up against a table with noisy uncontrolled kids who spent the night going in and out pushing past our chairs, friends of the senior staff we think. Service and food were average and amazingly, they ran out of fettuccine! Won't go back, too cramped.
