Wow, nice food but very pushy kitchen staff and senior staff, and if you have 8 people you need to get the banquet and after the entress you are full so there is no point in getting that and paying excessive amount of money for nothing! I suggest if there is a party of 8 or more, try to sit near each other as the tables are close by and this is the only way we got away with our xmas party of 15 people.

There are other mexican places in newtown and I would give them a try but I can't deal with the rudeness of the senior staff and the senior staff's relative who only stands at the till and take money of patrons, she does nothing else and I over head her telling off a waitress because she did not push entree dishes to a table of a very young couple who looked like Sydney uni students and were not the entree types!

Poor staff got told off by the lady at the till! Keep an eye out for her, it is quite entertaining actually! Oh and the kitchen staff tells people he is from Chile not mexico!

I went to Frattini about 3 months ago and the food and service was most delightful, I went there tonite for a family xmas dinner and was bitterly disappointed with quality of food and service, The marinara mix was substandard, and I sincerely mean that, local supermarkets have better mix then have some dry prawns and hardly any sauce in my dish.

In my honest opinion I would have rather stayed home and had supermarket marinara mix and a bottled pasta sauce, I will not go back there again or recommend this place to anyone. The waiter forced us to have mineral water citing that they didn't have any cold tap water, rip off. As a student I was going to bar italia regularly and the food there was amazing for the price I paid then. I am going back to cafe messina where I know I would get a proper mix of seafood.
