Wonderful meal at Moltofino last night. The crusty bread with olive oil and balsamic reduction is simple food with a fine flavour. We both had the potato soup with goats cheese crouton for entree, Yum! The barramundi fish n chips is always reliable. I had the seared salmon with green beans and olives, perfect. They always have specials on, making it a very affordable experience. To top it off last night, whoever set the music playlist has very good taste, Beth Orton, Jose Gonzalez, Lisa Mitchell, Radiohead.

I thought the service here was great and the food wasn't anything bad. Not a bad spot to eat.

Had a terrific dining experience tonight, great food, lovely music and friendly service. Entree with the chef selections were well balanced with vegetables, different flavours and textures. Olive oil and balsamic vinegar with bread was a stand out. We wanted more bread!
Mains were nice too with lamb shoulder fell right off the bone and fluffy, creamy, smooth mash potato paired nicely with spinach. The other main of fettuccine marinara was adequate. Although dessert was the highlight with gigantic chocolate brownie with ice cream hit the spot. Extra long churros with lots of delicious warm melted chocolate and a dollop of vanilla icecream was also delicious.
Overall, nice food, good service, with the 25% discount it made the overall bill not bad value for money, we'd come again.

Wow this restaurant has some of the best food on dee why beach. I am the worst food critic at the best of times and I was sceptical about going to this restaurant because of some of the bad reviews on here. But the food was amazing. We had salt and pepper calarmari which was ok, I've had better but it was still good, it had this amazing salad to garnish it, pear and something else, it really made the dish, then we had the lamb shoulder which was exquisite. So tender.
Dessert was the lemon panna cotta which was also divine. All the food came out really quickly to. The only thing that we wasted our money on was the garlic bread as it was a tiny serve for $6.50. Everything else was def value for money. Don't be afraid to try this place, its fantastic.

Having moved to the Northern Beaches from the Eastern suburbs, I am constantly disappointed with the restaurant scene on the North. We live on the beach at Dee Why but only dine there rarely as on a whole, I find the food uninspiring, over-priced and well, just plain boring really. Don't even get me started on the service. Anyway, it was very reluctantly that I agreed with my partner to go and try Moltofino on a wet and windy Saturday night. It never seems to have much "buzz" and really, just looked the same as all the other boring restaurants along the beachfront.
Anyway, I'm happy to say that I was wrong and Moltofino was a pleasant surprise. We had the arancini and squid to start. The arancini was very good, the squid was ok. I had the duck breast for main which was great. Just what I felt like on a cold night. My partner was also happy with his main (which was lamb). We shared the churros for dessert which was also nice. The service was nice, attentive but not intrusive, very efficient.
We enjoyed it so much we went back again last Sunday night for dinner and also had a nice night. So I am pleased to report it wasn't a one-off hit. Overall, I think the beachfront at Dee Why seriously needs to lift its game but Moltofino seems to be one step ahead of the other restaurants (yet not as busy)? Maybe because it doesn't look that appealing? Maybe because on the Saturday night they had the doors open (hello - it was the middle of winter and was freezing!). Anyway, we will be back.

We went to Moltofino with the offer from this website, and we were impressed. I think we may have received extra special service due to being an Eatability member, bit that's not a bad thing!
The food was great, good flavours, and plenty of choice. The Lamb shoulder was delicious, as was the squid for mains. The service was very impressive, with everything coming out very promptly. A great location too, amongst the increasingly fashionable restaurants of Dee Why beach. Recommended.

We have been to Molto several times since the new owners took over. The Duck breast was fantastic, not to mention the tasting plate we started with. Truly delicious food. We shall return very soon.

We visited this restaurant to entertain my wife's parents visiting from Japan. We had a good time as staff were friendly and food were good. We especially enjoyed whole grilled barramundi (the day's special) and garlic prawns.
I don't understand some others negative review. With good food, friendly staff and atmosphere also value with discount voucher, I recommend this restaurant.
