These guys run Beer and Pizza, and the quality and authenticity of the experience shines through in this very enjoyable italian tapas wine bar. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, the wine list obviously impressive and the tapas delicious.
Understand some of the comments below for larger parties but we've only been there in groups of 2 or 4 and never had any problems.

Got in nice and early as I believe it gets packed. The food was fresh and very tasty. It was a bit on the pricey side for the portions but the quality was great.

Wine list is a bit big with not many Aussie wines to choose from especially bottles under $40, I think there was only a couple under that. Also our dessert tasted burnt and at $20 it was a bit disappointing. Overall the service was great and the food was fantastic, will come be again.

What a gem for Sydney! Have been here a few times, and the knowledge of the bar/wait staff is astounding! Will be here often, enjoying amazing bar food and wine that is just too good.

Paid more for a little bit less, but what a poor culinary effort all round. Not welcomed back more than not going back! Enough said.

I went with a friend on Wednesday night and even then it was packed. For good reason. Great decor, great wine list, excellent service and great food. Yes, the portions are small, but that's what you expect with tapas. Personally I like the fact that there are now places that do other styles than just the usual Spanish tapas, as I love tasting several smaller dishes and sharing rather than one big plate per person. I had a wonderful evening and will certainly be back!

My God, the food was terrible. Looked like something you would buy at Woolies in the freezer section, overpriced and extremely overrated. I would only go to Mille Vini for a wine (the wine selection is great!) and then walk to elsewhere for some amazing tapas for the same price.

Get here early! We arrived at 6.15 on a Friday and were the last people to get a table for the early sitting, everyone behind us were told 8.30. This is a very cool little place with a fantastic wine list and we thoroughly enjoyed the tapas style menu. It's busy and it's hectic but the staff were attentive and knew what they were talking about. Would recommend it if you are in the mood for good wine and a distraction of food!!!

Have to agree with some of the comments here. We were placed at the bar last night only to have a rude waitress telling us that we were in her way every time she passed. The food was average and the servings were small. It really is very disappointing paying top dollar to leave an establishment hungry and insulted. Lift your game Mille Vini.

The service was great and the wines sensational. We started with the chiaretto-rose from piemonte and finished with a funky looking bottle of barbera la luna e le stelle. If you are looking for a fun night out, I highly recommend Mille Vini - a touch of Melbourne in Sydney.

Disorganised, noisy, thoroughly depressing food experience. No doubt it will be Gourmet Traveller's restaurant of 2009 if their current issue is anything to go by. Food was plain awful, staff slow and inept. Did you not expect it to be so busy guys? You won't see me again.
