Cosy atmosphere- I liked the rows of olive oil bottles lining the walls in place of the more common wine bottles. My friend and I shared a nice salad and pasta from the Caffe menu, and the service was great. I think they're clever for having a cheaper lunch menu for people who want to try it out- I will... More

In my experience, this is unique 'city' Italian restaurant in Sydney. Good for a business lunch or a night out with friends. Great ambience and good food and wine. The service is a little mixed and the conveniences are not convenient (don't wait until you're desperate!)

one of my favourite restaurants in Sydney. Great atmosphere - great food and the service is impeccable. I have been to a few functions here and everyone was terrific. I love the old style of decor with the modern twist. All round a very pleasant experience. Good for a romantic dinner

My husband and I spent my 50th birthday dinner at Pendolino's in March of this year. We are from Melbourne and regularly eat out and were looking forward to the evening after ready reviews here. We were not disappointed! The waiting staff were helpful with assistance in regard to wines and food suggestions based on our tastes. We took their... More

Finding Pendolino may be a little tricky to those not familiar with Sydney and the Strand Arcade, but it is definitely well worth the effort. Stunning finishing's are complimented by equally creative food and a knowledgeable wine selection. Try the Dessert wines for a special treat. Bring your money, this is not a cheap place, but it IS value for... More

The first thing that impresses with this restaurant is the cosy, sophisticated atmosphere closely followed by noting that although it a just an ordinary, cold Tuesday evening in a space which is by no means small, it is full of customers. They are obviously doing something right and surely it has to be more than mood creation...which is certainly the... More

Last night was our wedding anniversary, with my husband returning from overseas that day, so we had not booked - almost missed out when we rang early afternoon but managed an early sitting. Very helpful and respectful staff, great service - not in your face, but there when you needed, and I never ran out of water! Lovely atmosphere and... More

My wife and I both had two courses, all our food was divine and the wine they recommended was beautiful. The service struck a nice balance between being attentive but not intrusive. The room has a lovely atmosphere and the darkness gives you a feeling of privacy even though the tables are quite close together. Not the easiest place to... More

Tucked away at the top of an old shopping mall arcade, this is a popular restaurant amongst business types trying to impress colleague or clients. That said, don't let that put you off from the amazing pasta dishes they serve up, coupled with an atmosphere that is surprisingly romantic for a restaurant in a shopping mall (it's very dark!). Service... More
