I have been going to this restaurant for the past 6yrs with it being under 2 different managements and it has always been Perfect. On Saturday I went and took friends along as I do not stop talking about how wonderful and cheap the food is but to be let down. It has been sold and it is now under new management once again. This time, it has not been so great.

The food was tasteless, the waiter was rude and arrogant and kept dropping food and drinks on us including other tables. I have never experienced such disgust with his attitude towards customers. And then we were overcharged, when I asked to speak to the manager, he refused.

To top it off, he let customers smoke Inside the restaurant. Never again will we be returning!

I have been on eatability to search for reviews serveral times, but never joined to review. This restaurant had made such a great impression, I have now joined to recommend it. I went to this place with my partner using a voucher. We were served immediately by a very friendly waitress. Menu's explained and food came quickly. The food was delicious, I'd even go back just for the garlic bread dipped into the garlic prawns, its a tomato based garlic sauce. Pizza was cooked well, base crisp and ingredients fresh. A big bonus on their staff being super attentive and pleasant. Place is small but cosy. My partner now wants to hold his 30th there :)

Nice mix of traditional and gourmet ingredients. Pizza was great-had the prawn pizza with rocket. Prices are decent. Service was attentive. Setting is cosy and clean.
Will be going back!

We stumbled on this restaurant. Great pizza and my partner had eye fillet. Cooked perfectly and so cheap. Will be back. Oh and Marco is a character to chat with.

No fuss restaurant which is a small, cosy, honest meal. It has a takeaway counter next door which does well and they have great specials on for $10-15 in winter. As for the service it was ok however, needs improvement. One thing I really like about this venue, it's got mid range pricing in a high traffic, high tourist area. If anyone was to stay away from anywhere it would be Darlng Harbour.

Oh My God! I was shocked at how bad this restaurant was. We got seated, but no menu's. So I waited a few minutes then went to the counter and asked for them, they came 20 minutes later. We finally got to order 30 minutes later, the delay was probably because they were trying to appease the 2 tables next to us, whose orders they seemed to misplace and mix up. It was almost comical how bad this restaurant was. A shame though, because the food isnt bad, decent at least, and the ambience in the courtyard is nice, but this in no way makes up for the disgusting service. Maybe the boss should treat them nicer or pay them more, because they just seemed to not care about anything. Bottom line = STAY AWAY, from the restaurant anyway. The takeaway seems a good choice.

Absolutly divine pizza! It is nothing overly-gourmet but for a cheap bit you can't go past it!

We never ate at this restaurant but have had take away pizzas twice. Average pizzas and unfortunately a bit too oily, otherwise ok.

The best pizza I have ever had. The other dishes are quite good (my favourite chicken risitto, mushroom and snow peas). The garden area is just like being in Italy, service is average, great ambience and overall my friends and I highly recommend it.
