Every time we come to Parramatta we ensure we go to Crinitis for dinner. Most of the time you need to book ahead because its always very busy. We where lucky to get a table for 3. As usual the food , service is great but it is always very noise. However the cost for a bottle of wine is... More

We came across Criniti's on a recent visit to Sydney and enjoyed it so much we went back on our final night in Australia. Although it is pricey, and the menu is ridiculously long and complicated, we found the service helpful and attentive and the food outstanding. Really delicious bruschetta and salt and pepper calamari/prawns, home made pastas and tasty... More

Sensational saltbush lamb. It is a little noisy there for my taste but the excellent food quality made up for it.

We stumbled across Criniti's whilst staying a few nights at Parramatta during a business trip. Although it was a Monday night the place was heaving and the music pumping. We were offered a drink immediately and once we had waded through the enormous menu and finally made a selection the food arrived very promptly. The waiting staff were most efficient... More

With an extensive menu and plenty of people seemingly enjoying their meals, we eagerly sat down for lunch. Well, the food is ok. Nothing that jumps off the plate, but reasonable portions. However, I feel it can be way too expensive for quite basic fare. Service is keen and friendly but we wait too long for simple pizzas. Overall, not... More

Let me start off by saying that I am an avid lover of steaks. I went to Criniti's not too long ago for a friend's birthday. Because it was a Saturday night we did have to wait a good 10-15 for our table but that nothing much of a nuisance. I highly do not recommend you sit outside for the... More

This place is not cheap but there is always a wait to get a table. Just goes to prove that people will pay good money for good food. The serves are huge but the service is excellent and the food consistently good. The meatballs are amazing and the anti-pasta is wonderful!

This place is really for show and agreed wholly with previous reviewers. Group of 5 adults and 2 children dined on Sunday night at 6 pm. The table given was not big enough as waitresses struggled to put our dishes on the table. They just stared at the table as if it was our fault!!! Hmmm. Food were average considering... More
