Great quality of main courses although the tira mi su was dodgy. Good service and ambience all at a considerable cost

Think the standard in Miami with better food and this is it.In the middle of Sydney's CBD a rooftop bar with a pool and a great restaurant. Uccello is good standard Italian food served in a great atmosphere with super service. There are not many palces in the world where you can eat decent food and feel like you are... More

Restaurant communicates with Ivy Pool Bar - we had a late reservation so we could just go to the bar after dinner without having to pay cover charge. Atmosphere was great but food was on the expensive side for what it was. Servers pour the wine at a crazy pace so that you're done without noticing it. Would go back... More

I’ll admit, I’ve spent more than my fair share of nights at Ivy Pool Bar. But until now, the opportunity to dine at Uccello, Ivy’s poolside Italian restaurant, had not arisen, and I was blissfully unaware of the glamorous space, perched above the poolside crowd. Uccello, means ‘bird’ in Italian (along with another meaning, which I’d prefer not to mention.... More

unique feature is it overlooks full size swimming pool on top of CBD building. For once, food is as good as the [unusual] view. because it opens onto pool, in summer have best of both worlds with indoor/outdoor effect [rather than being stuck in aircon building]

The Ivy complex is rather large and it is a concept with bars, restaurant and a pool club which really works. We had our drinks in the bar on the first floor (what a great atmosphere and buzz), before we moved to the 4th floor, to the Uccello Restaurant. We had a table with a good view to the 'Pool... More

I wanted to show my mother a night on the town and a knew that a no fail way to impress was dinner overlooking Ivy Pool with pre dinner cocktails. We chose a quieter, more chilled out night of the week (Thursday) and thankfully the night was a fabulous success and mum was totally impressed thanks to the great venue,... More

While I avoid the Ivy complex in the evenings, because I'm not a merchant wanker and would increase the average age of its audience by 20 years, I really enjoy the various Merivale outlets at lunch time. I hadn't been to Uccello before, but tried their Festival for the Senses special offer of $39 for two courses and a glass... More

We love the Ivy restaurants and bars generally, but this is their worst option. The food is surprisingly poor, especially for the price. For example,. The Frito Misto included very small pieces of flathead fish (which I love) but the batter was more than the fish and the fish was dry (or old?). Pushy Maitre D' had promised if we... More

We eat out a lot, and as Sydney locals, have over 30(!) years of memorable and not-so-memorable meals to look back on. Rarely have we been so under-whelmed by our dining experience as we were at Uccello. The earlier reviews alluding to hype and poor value for money and ordinary food are entirely accurate. I have no quarrel paying well... More
