Came here for a birthday dinner after reading fantastic reviews and was very excited but left let down. The interior is beautifully decorated with dim lighting. However, that’s where it ended for me. We ordered a few pizzas for the table which were quite nice expect that there was a hair found in one of them. When we informed the waiter he said that he would ensure that he would inform the pizza maker as well as the manager and would come clear the plate with the hair on it.

None of this happened, considering the amount of money one pays this restaurant some sort of apology/concern should have been shown. Not even the slightest apology was made which was rather rude I think. I ordered the squid ink gnocchi for my main and found them quite inedible, they were flavourless and were served in a weird broth which I have never seen before. Everyone else’s main seemed ok.

For dessert we ordered a dessert pizza and as we were there for a birthday they presented nicely on a plate and even wrote happy birthday on it, which was a very nice gesture!

Amazing. Steamed mussels were really good with little pasta bits, and carpaccio was quite unique (salmon with a ring of perch around it). Handmade gnocchi was good but had blue cheese in it. Vegetarian pizza was really nice as well. Panna cotta was to die for, not too sweet and lots of berries to go with it. Great coffee as well to finish.

Had the sunday lunch special 20/11 in a group of eight. It was sensational only complaint to much food. Had heard they had a new head chef so we introduced ourselves. He was very friendly and the food delicious. Will certainly be going again as the menu constantly changes and the parking is a dream.

What a great & unexpected eating experience in every way. Unexpected because of where this great restaurant is located (in the Google building Pyrmont). Very corporate looking on the outside a little slice if Italy on the inside. Whether a quaff from the extensive list of magnificent wines or full blown meal, Signorelli nails it. I was with two food & wine discerning friends truing SG for the first time. The staff suggestions/explanations were delivered by staff that obviously love working there and have a passion for the food. Also importantly we able to recommend wines based on our food order. We had so many outstanding dishes the stand outs for me being the Zucchini Flowers stuffed with Prawns and the Rabbit Risotto.

Beautiful Pinot Gregio wine and to finish. Coffee and desserts that were visually and gastronomically superb. Arrived at 1:30pm (with a booking) and left at 5:30pm just as the work crowd were coming in for a quiet drink. Service, Food, Price excellent. BTW I bought a delicious home-made lasagna to take home to the family (guilt trip) from the deli... this is like a hardware store for foodies. Chefs were also only too happy to talk about their dishes (friendly competition as to who made our meals). I have just enrolled in one of their cooking classes so looking forward to that. Oh and parking is easy which is another plus. I'll be back! Buon appetito.

Came here with a large famly group. The waitress did an amazing job to manage the whole table of 21. The food was of a high quality and tasty. I shared the pork belly for entree and the flavour was amazing and the crackling was great, the cabbage had just the right amount of sweetness. The veal involutini was a bit on the dry side but the Israeli couscous accompaniment was great. The chocolate flan is similar to a flat chocolate fondant and I felt could have been a bit richer, the mascarpone was really nice. The restaurant has a warmth about it. Overall was an enjoyable evening with good food.

This is a great wine bar, the food is good, although I've tasted better. We had the zucchini flowers, gnocchi and spatchcock. Theres a great selection of wine though, at good prices, and within a relaxed setting.

I went back here for lunch today (Sunday). The home made potato gnocchi with bug meat was poor. The ingredients were completely overwhelmed by a rich creamy sauce. I left most of it. I had two glasses of wine recommended by the server and it was ok but cost $16 per glass.

The food and wine was overpriced. I had the half roast duck here last friday night, it too was drowned in a rich sauce. The restaurant has potential, we need a quality restaurant in Pyrmont but this place falls way short. Very disappointing.

One of the best Italian in town. Excellent wine collection. A Restaurant for people who enjoy quality and outstanding wines but don't mind 2 $ more on the bill. Real Italian feeling in terms of food. Very friendly and well trained service.

There is something about this place that I just like, even though staff were surprised we were ordering mains, even though they failed to inform us that most of the menu was unavailable due to a change in menu the next day. Which is Ok for people like me who will eat anything, but others in my group struggled to find something to eat. Service was friendly and fun. Great ambience. Really nice set-up, there are lots of interesting things around to look at. I would like to return, don't know if I can persuade my friends though.
