“My favourite little secret”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 May 2012

So I will be very honest, I would never have expected to find a restaurant of this calibre in Smithfield. I first came here for a work function some 5 years ago and I was blown away. Having lived at the time near more traditional 'italian eateries' @ the forum I was blown away by what I experienced. I have... More

“Wonderful Staff with a great atmosphere..”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 March 2012

Fabulous restaurant with outstanding service and staff. A little X’ee for Western Sydney but the food is always fresh with an authentic taste of Italy. They do great set-menus and always have different meals on the specials lists. My only down fall would be the sound problem in the restaurant - its very loud and I wouldn't go there if... More

“Truely Italian!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 January 2012

In the western suburbs of Sydney, it is not always easy to find great food. Candelori's was exceptional, with authentic home made fresh pasta, great sea-food and excellent staff. The atmosphere is great, and I don't think you will find better Italian food in that part of town. More

“Very overrated an "out west" restaurant!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 July 2011

We ordered a garden salad to share for two, a pizza, two pastas and two drinks. The service and were excellent, but the price is equal to city prices...but you are in the middle of the Horsley Drive! More

Thanks for the feedback. Admittedly, we are having difficulty understanding your review as you say our food and service was excellent, then claim we are 'overrated'. We think our prices are reasonable given the high quality service and food we provide. All of our pasta is made on premises using high quality produce and our portion sizes are relatively large....

“Best restaurant in a 20klm radius!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 January 2011

I have been here over 20 times for both business and social. Everytime food, service and wine is impeccable. The menu is huge, food authentic and homemade. Believe me this is the best restaurant in the west if not all Sydney. The gorgeous fit out makes you forget the location and food takes you to Italy! You must make bookings... More
