I booked online and they didn't have a table, the guy was the rudest waiter I ever met in a restaurant: when my girlfriend asked "so you don't have a table?" his answer was "no", then he left. That's it, no apologies, no explanation, nothing. I hope they close soon and leave the space available for a real restaurant with an understanding of the meaning of the word "service industry".

Been here recently, the food is well below average and the service was rushed and unpleasant. Didn't like it, won't go back.

I have come back home wondering whether I have been in the right restaurant. I don't know what everyone is talking about, but while the entrees (money bags and curry puffs) where very nice and yet not outstanding, the mains were a real let down, crying tiger with maybe less than 2 spoonful of sauce, the meat's quality was mediocre, and served on a deb of plain salad that was very little appealing, red duck curry was rather flavourless. I won't name other restaurants, even in the same suburb, where the same dish is something to remember.

Environment is ok, but I had to dine wearing a leather jacket because it was freezing (many other people wore their coat, it wasn't just me). I didn't take a dessert because I was rather disappointed with the overall experience up to that point and left. I don't think I will come back again, and if I did it would be chiefly to try and figure out why everyone else's reviews are so good.

Dear fbeat

Thank you for your time and effort in writing the comment for us.

I am sorry you did not enjoy the dinner.

I have checked with the chef, re the mains, the red curry duck is one of our most popular curries, and we usually serve a few servings every night, on weekend, more than a dozen servings, and the feedback is always very positive.

With the crying tiger, we use top quality scotch fillet, and the fillet is marinated, that is why the sauce is on the side, and it does come with some vegetables, but it is not a salad dish, the vegetables are there more for garnish.

If you like extra vegetable and sauce, please feel free to ask, and we are always very happy to 'top them up' so to speak. I have to say that we have not had other customers complaining the amount of the garnish and the sauce.

Thank you again for your time in writing the review for us. I understand that we should think ahead of what customers expect, without relying on customers to tell us, nevertheless, I am sure the evening could turn out to be a much more enjoyable night if we got to know the various aspects you wrote about, we would have been quickly addressed them.

My partner and I moved to Australia more than five years ago and in particular in the first few months we were desperate to find good Pizza. I guess to feel less faraway from home.

We are both decent cooks but after many disastrous attempts we gave up looking for proper Pizzeria, and started making Pizza ourselves. Sydney had so many other cuisines that we didn't know about before and that we now love. Up to couple of weeks ago, when we heard about Rosso Pomodoro and decided it was time to give it another go and we were not disappointed!

If you are looking for a place where pineapple on pizza is considered acceptable, then Rosso Pomodoro is not for you. They tell you this from the beginning. But if what you are looking for is a young, vibrant, authentic place, with tasty, crispy, amazing pizza, well, you found it. We had a great night, we felt home, like we were sitting in a little Pizzeria in Milan. We had one of the best pizza in a long time.

We can't recommend this place enough... Grazie!
