One of the best ways to enjoy the weekend is to head down to North Bondi Italian Food for lunch with friends. The view is great, the food is really enjoyable and the people watching is unbeatable. The service is very casual, with the cutlery in containers on the table and the menu printed on the paper place mat, but... More

Love this place, especially in winter. It's cozy and relaxed but has beautiful authentic Italian meals. The eggplant parmesan side was a meal in itself. Views of Bondi Beach but not on the main touristy strip. Perfect for a stroll after enjoying the hearty meal.

This place isn't cheap, and it shouldn't be. It's the best Italian food I've eaten in 4 months in Australia. I ordered the penne with slow cooked lamb shoulder in a tomato sugo. Absolutely delicious. The lamb falls apart in your mouth. Service was fine. If you tip a few bucks, they treat you well. View is fantastic. Right on... More

This place has an amazing atmosphere- casual but trendy.. Spending more cash without the need to wear your fur coat and bring your mino chihuahua! Fish in a bag is a fave - they used to open the bag at your table but hey, it's still delicious! Cocktails are pretty good... Miscommunication amongst the waiters can be a bit annoying... More

I love the menu, the views and the vibe. Yes it is a bit pricey, $150 for shared entree, two mains with a side, shared desert and a bottle of wine. However, the food is mouth watering, the wine complimented the menu and the sunset reflecting of the waves/sand of Bondi Beach rounded up the exceptional evening for me. On... More

Location is awesome, so go to the RSL upstairs, it's cleaner, tastier and cheaper. The only good thing I can say about this under deliverer is that the maitre' d was very personable and that he did offer us a refund for the one meal that was later than the already tardy main courses. I do however think he would... More

The food is great, but the service can be very hit and miss. The poor lighting means water is often poured into white wine or sparkling water is often topped with still water. If you put your name down for a table you have to keep an eye on proceedings because staff seem to lose where they are on the... More

Everything was great, except service a little slow and then they kicked us out for dinner service, so much for a long lunch!

They say they serve authentic Italian food, and maybe in some ways it's more like the food you have in Italy than other Italian restaurants around Sydney, but it's not really that great. The "in" crowd go here because it's practically on the beach at Bondi, but there is better Italian food around. Great location, surly service (well it is... More
