We had a fantastic wining and dining experience last night. The sommelier provided great advice and the choice of wines was simply sublime, and the food, perfect! You do need to order quite a few dishes of different tapas to share so don't hold back on the ordering. If you're after a bargain night out don't come here but if you're after good quality food and wine at a not unreasonable price ($130/ head) then do try the place out. Don't miss the cheese platter which is served with honey and marmalade! sounds odd but it works very well indeed.

I dined here with a bunch friends (9) here last night (a saturday), while overall we enjoyed ourselves it was only due the company. The wait staff were so unbelievably rude, some of my party actually had an argument with one of the wait staff because he was so dismissive. Lighting is so bad you can't see the menu, the food is nothing special, as a sydneysider I have a fairly high standard with food because there are so many great places to eat but this is absolutely not one of them. I would advise spending what ends up being a lot of money because the value is not good elsewhere.

I dined here last night, a sunday. I read all the reviews here before going, so felt informed about the restaurant and the complaints list. But I really wanted a decent glass of wine. Unfortunately, what everyone says is true. The lighting is terrible. Diners were reading the menu with torches. In the dark, I could just make out the miserly portions of overpriced cheese and charcuterie plates. We had grossly under ordered, and our waiter neglected to subtly inform us of this.
The wines we had were lovely but overpriced slightly. Service was ok, but it was easy to pick the waiter reviewers are singling out. As for ambience. The police and other 80's classics does not do milli vanilli any favours. Sydney can be so pretentious, and this place is a classic example.

May 16 2009 - I have never had such dreadful service or been so annoyed in a restaurant as at Mille Vini last weekend. Mediocre food, overpriced, and hopeless service. The senior staff was already rude to us as we entered the place, telling us in the most peremptory manner that we had to be out by 8.30.
The wine list was completely out of date, which wasted a great deal of time. The buffolini was 3 small deep fried balls, one of which contained nothing but air. The waiter tried to take our plates away before we had finished eating, on several occasions, once, when one of us had food in his mouth and was holding a fork! There were empty tables next to us (at least 12 seatings) but we could see patrons being steered upstairs to spend money on alcohol, clearly in order to screw them out of more cash.
And the senior staff came over to demand we leave the table, with half our food still on the plates. At that point I lost it. Mille Vini is dreadful and the experience ruined our evening.

We recently celebrated a friends birthday at Mille Vini, there were 12 of us and crammed into a small corner for which we had to wait 15 minutes for our booked table. Not such a great start.
When finally seated, the waiter was rude, almost throwing the bread down on the table, with huge attitude. It was like it was a major chore to take our order. Throughout the meal when topping up water glasses he managed to spill it into two peoples laps and continue to be rude.
Now for the food. Our group ordered Tapas so I got to sample most of it. The Meat balls were over cooked and dry. The rice, the Gnocchi was bland and tasted like mince with a bit of canned tomato sauce. I ordered the Bufalino which was the best thing I tasted all night.
The pluses: The atmosphere and building are great and we did have one waiter that was attentive and helpful. Overall, I would not go back better places to eat and have a wine. Over priced, poor service, poor food.

A group of us went and got good service. Venue was rammed and buzzing, although that wouldn't be difficult for them to achieve as the place is about as big as a walk-in-wardrobe.
Although the portions are bigger than you get in most eastern suburbs bimbo magnets, the food was less than mediocre and too be blunt 'borderline' The Salt-Cod was flavourless and watery and highly likely not cod at all. The squid was very, very, chewy. The gnocchi itself was good, but the sauce had that canned spaghetti flavour.
Would go back for a glass of wine but definitely not food.

Food is ok, not awesome. I actually had quite good service, the waiter was attentive and we were seated straight away (although we went on a tuesday night...). Very decent sized portions, infact I would only need one share plate for myself.

A great place for a drink, especially midweek, but the food these days has gone seriously downhill. I had an extremely average meal there last night, and it's a real shame that the kitchen isn't doing justice to the great space and the excellent wine list. I wouldn't eat there again unless there are some dramatic improvements.

Went there last night and had a lovely experience. Sure it's a bit pricey but surely you expect that when you walk in! It's not a surprise. The wine is amazing and the menus are the best I've seen.

We went to Mille Vini on Tuesday last week. It was early and was shown a table quickly by a lovely waiter. Ordered wine, which was not available. Tried another, it was also not available. Tried for a third, and it was. And there it sat on the bar for another 10 minutes while the maitre d' decided to apply some fairly vocal and visual performance management to the stunned waiter. For what? Who knows and cares while customers are waiting? Was not a pleasant sight. Meanwhile....still no wine. Food was pleasant, but not great.
We were in the midst of ordering cheese when our waiter (leaning over the table to explain the choices) was elbowed out of the way by previously mentioned maitre d' to make way for him to seat some people at the next table. Yes, folks...elbowed. We were horrified as was the waiter. We will never return to Mille Vini while that maitre d' works there.
