Didn't try the pizzas here, but we had the pasta. Really good and simple, plentiful and well priced food. Before we ordered, we told them we were short of time and needed our meals to come out promptly. The waiter immediately took our order, and our food came out fast. Will definitely be coming back to try the pizzas.

Great tofu pizzas the old Tofu Spartan and Tofu Satay, but what is it with their garlic bread? Its a bread roll with a smidgen of butter and no garlic. Why like this?

Ok, this is going to be a good news, bad news scenario. My wife and I went there before a show last night wanting some good Italian food. It's a quaint little place, nothing fancy but that's what we like. In theory places with decor that's a bit simple tend to have the best food.

Good news: pizza was fabulous, cooked to perfection with ample toppings. Being Italian ourselves we could be a bit biased, especially if the pizza doesn't live up to expectation, but we couldn't find fault it as well as being very reasonably priced.

Bad news: don't order the lasagna. It was worse than a dingo's breakfast. It came out looking like an identified blob of pasta and sauce mash, without any form and tasting just as bad. We told the waiter who sent out the elderly owner who, to her credit, exchanged it with one of their great pizzas.

We will return to sample more of their food in the future, but I'm just hoping the rest of their menu is a lot better than their lasagna. If you're not game, just stick to their pizzas and you can't go wrong.

Loved the pizzas we got, (Satay and Meditteranean) but my god the service is terrible here. Our waitress was so bad that by the end it was hilarious. I would recommend the food but perhaps just get takeaway or delivery.

The pizza is pretty good. But the risotto is too salty. I could only eat a few mouthfuls. The owner asked me if the meal was good so I honestly replied that it was too salty and was politely reprimanded that "other people like it like that". He was very argumentative when I tried to be nice and helpful about the problem. If he had actually tasted it himself I am sure he would have choked on it like he'd swallowed seawater, like we did. I probably won't go back because of his attitude.

We have been to Torino's 3 times and ordered delivery to our apartments three times. The service and food instore was excellent. We especially loved the salads. The first delivery was good, on time and nice yummy warm pizza.

The third time was different. My boyfriend moved about two blocks from his past apartment. When I called to order delivery, the lady on the phone said we lived too far away. We live in Marrickville, which is advertised as a place of delivery on their flyer. I told her that we had ordered before and there was no problem. She wanted to charge me for delivery, even though we were purchasing a more expensve deal. She did not believe me and left me on hold whilst she asked the boss. I waited for ages until she return. No apology. We haven't ordered delivery since.

We order pizza from Torinos every friday night and occasionally eat in, the pizza is traditional style and always good and the staff are always really friendly (especially Suzy). Its not fine dining, just good, hot, delicious pizza!

Meatlovers pizza, beef is actually bolagnaise sauce, BBQ sauce was not on it at all but there was chunks of garlic in oil? No onion but with pineapple still cost me $1 extra. Garlic bread was a hot dog bun sliced in half and spread with margarine, more garlic on my pizza than the bread. Lots of awards on the walls and windows from 2008. I now know why there has been none in the past 2 years.

Had dinner here for the first time last night, a Monday night. We ordered the Tzatziki tip to start, followed by the Chicken Risotto for myself and my partner ordered the Seafood Risotto and Greek Salad. When we ordered the Tzatziki dip, the waitress came back and said it does not come with bread and she asked if we would like to order Garlic Bread, which we did. This was a bit of a trap, as my partner pointed out, how the hell are you supposed to eat the dip if it doesn't come with bread.

In all of our combined dining experiences, if you order dips, you get bread too. We felt this was underhanded and just an attempt to increase the total bill. The mains, our risottos, were heavy and the seafood was chewy I was told. The Greek Salad though was beautiful, unfortunately, overall the food was mediocre. If you feel like Italian whilst in this part of Enmore, go next door to La Ricetta Ristorante.

Been going to Torinos from the old Caze club and stage 51 days, the reason we go back again and again is the food is always consistent after so many years, the portions are huge, the lamb cutlets are cooked on char and taste just like the ones on the mediterranean islands in Greece. The steak Diane is the best value in Sydney, for $20 you get a massive tender juicy steak, the best sauce, crispy chips and a separate fresh salad.

Atmosphere busy and has the europena feel, we have been taking our children there and they are now courting and go there with their girl friends, great place, good family environment, very good value for $$$$$.
