We've been here many times for dinner before seeing a play at the Wharf or Sydney Theatres. The food and wine are good, the prices reasonable, and the staff invariably friendly and (reasonably) efficient. We usually get there about 6:15 pm and never have a problem getting to a play starting at 8pm. You could possibly leave it a bit... More

Two pizzas and wine before seeing a show of the Sydney Theatre Company. A communal table, quick and courteous service my wife's glass of wine was $10.50 , a fine Sav Blanc - mine was a pinot grigo $9.50 per glass - not a shadow on the Sav blanc. The pizzas were excellent - mine the Taffu, with gorgonzolla I... More

Although this is an out-of-the-way restaurant, it is worth the effort for the ambiance, especially during daylight hours when you can lazily watch a slice of the harbour. The cuisine is typically Italian, and not the dumbed-down Aussie versions we mostly get. Our Cicciona antipasto consisted of a thin and crispy rosemary pizza, bruschettas, arancinis, calamari, deep-fried mozzarella balls and... More

Service is incredibly slow and unfriendly. Quite a few of the drinks on the menu are out of stock. Avoid. More

We arrived at this restaurant with high expectations and the food (although expensive) was lovely and our waiter friendly and efficient. However halfway through the night, another waiter swung around with a metal jug in his hand and collided with ny daughter, causing a cut which bled quite a lot. We did downplay the incident, not wanting to cause a... More

Left hungry and with no apology.... I went to Ventuno as a group of eight before seeing a play at the Sydney Theatre Company (just across the road). We arrived with ample time to order and they took our drinks order. We also ordered a garlic pizza bread and some calamari to share while we waited for our final guest... More

My daughter wanted a good pizza, after several terrible ones in QLD and Sydney. The hotel recommended Ventuno, and we were very happy. Good selection of wines and pizzas, along with a few pastas and other mains. My daughter's Margerita pizza was quickly gone, along with some good quality bread. My wife enjoyed her pasta, and I was pleased by... More

Twice recently I have booked Ventuno when with more than 15 people. Ideal location on waterfront enabling Water Taxi service but still find it easy to park nearby. The food is simple Italian fare but consistently high quality and predictable. The service is professional old Italian school. Mixture of casual attire and suits as in the midst of theatre and...

The restaurant is more of an Italian Pub that serves antipasti, pizza, pasta, fine Italian wines and boutique Italian Beers. On the other side, you'd be struggling to find many aussie wines and beers on the list for that reason. Ate out their on at least 5 occassions, including with my girlfriend and my daughter. Outdoor seating is best yet... More
