Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

A lovely restaurant, lovely decor, great service and food was amazing. My mum ordered a glass of sparkling wine, and when it was served it was pretty flat. I didn't want to make a scene, but couldn't have mum drinking a flat champagne. When i took it up to the bar, i didn't even have to say anything - the manager simply looked at the glass and said "that's flat - i'll bring you another one". The staff member who served it apologised! It was the perfect way to handle that situation. We were made to feel so at home, it is my new favourite italian restaurant and i'll be a regular from now on.

Husby and I were there to celebrate his birthday and our 40th wedding anniversary and we were very pleased with both the friendly staff and beautiful food. We chose the Strozzapreti Pistacchio Di Gamberi (Strozzapreti with prawns, pistachio pesto, lemon, pecorino, cherry tomatoes & zucchini), and the Chili Garlic Prawns (Pan-fried prawns tossed with chilli, garlic, lemon, basil, spring onions wine and a touch of cream & fregola di sarda). Squisito!!
The woman who waited on us was delightful - making us feel welcome without being pushy. After finding out that it was husbys birthday she even placed a little candle in his sorbet and sang happy birthday to him! What a ROCK STAR!!! We would recommend this lovely eating place to anyone who is looking for true Italian cuisine in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

We didn’t plan to eat here and we are glad we did. Dad and I were so hungry and this hit the spot
Dad had the gnocchi and the serving was huge and the complexity of the flavours was just kind blowing. Such an amazing meal
I had the pumpkin ravioli and it was delicious but was very small and I was still hungry afterwards and wish I ordered entree but upon saying that the meal was delicious and tasty but just tiny
Highly recommend

We had a booking for 4 ppl at 6:00pm. The food and drinks were pretty good, me and my friends loved it. We ate a bit quickly and finished most of food by 7:00 pm, but still going . We then slowed down and chat with each other. This one waitress kept coming to us and pressuring us to take the bill and leave even we still have food left on the table. After our plates were taken away around 7:30 pm, the bill was placed on our table without any communication. When we questioned the waitress if there is a time limitation ( for it was not mentioned at all in our booking confirmation), she did not respond directly to the question, but said “ oh, there are no empty tables” with a poker face. We did not see anyone queuing outside at the time. Anyway, been there a few times before, probably won’t go back again after this experience.

Exactly how dining should be ! Proffessional experienced non pretentious staff ! The experience was about us not them(can be a problem since Covid) the food was perfect in taste temperature and presentation we had kingfish ! Arincini ! Cheese tart for entree and lamb!veal for mains plus the lightest most balanced tiramsu ever if you want food and service this is Adelaide’s best (I also changed booking time twice and the staff once again allowed me to feel comfortable without the usual power play)

Food is excellent - at least that’s how we found it. We had spaghetti marinara. The seafood was tasty and the sauce was great - freshly chopped herbs, white wine, and yummy stock. Likewise the duck leg mushroom ravioli was good too. Sauce was great. Tiny parts of the duck leg was mildly burnt or too dry but overall the dish was great. The pot of mussels we ordered was also tasty. The host initially looked a bit stern but fortunately she became pretty friendly, perhaps charmed by our little one, and that was a relief. Wine list was good from what I could see. Parking was nearly a challenge but we got lucky and got the last parking space. But that’s expected for King William Street I suppose. Overall a good experience. And yes, food were well priced.

In my opinion, this is the best Italian restaurant in Adelaide. The food is always first class. The staff are friendly and make you feel welcome. Antoni is a delight and loves to banter and share a joke with us.
We started with glass of shiraz to loosen things up and encourage conversation.
As for the food, I had the Messina veal dish - beautiful, tender veal and mushrooms on a bed of mash, surrounded by a dreamy ocean of jus, which soaked delightfully into the mash. Heaven on a plate!
My companion had the crumbed garfish special, which they described as the best meal they'd had at Parisi's. High praise indeed, since they love EVERY meal they have at Parisi's.
A delightful coffee and hot chocolate completed our lunchtime experience, and as we were leaving, we were already dreamily contemplating our next visit to this wonderful establishment.

Food pretty good - risotto so so
Service was friendly but atuned to turning tables. Was not a relaxing experience. Specifically asking three times in 7 minutes if ready to order mains.
The more senior operator cleared the table and removed my wine glass when there was still obvious wine in the bottle.
Dunno just felt hectic which when you are dropping $250 for four is not good

Organised set menu for surprise birthday for my husbands 50th. They were great to deal with and set up the surprise.
Excellent experience in the restaurant giving everyone their own tab for drinks that would be served to the table so no need to line up and also able to keep the bill separate saving time and energy later.
The food came out at regular intervals without any need to chase, plenty of it and everyone left very well fed!
I had a cake delivered to the restaurant which they happily stored and when we were ready brought it out with candles etc then cut and served it for us, making life very very easy.
Made it easy on the night to have them so on the ball and keeping everything moving for us.
Thank you !

This was our third visit to Parisi's as it has become one of our favorite places to visit for a wonderful meal. We have come to have confidence that whatever we choose on the menu will be extraordinary.
I particularly chose the Chili Garlic Prawns especially for the fregola di sard as my husband had this beautiful pasta in his meal on our previous visit, and it was superb! Unfortunately, the fregola di sard in my meal was a pile of mush and not the fregola di sard we had both previously experienced - I was bitterly disappointed in this as I was really 'hanging out' for it.
However, we both decided to have the Cannoli for desert - OMG!! It was glorious! The flavours were subtle, yet a delight to excite the tastebuds. My reaction to this was definitely "leave the gun, take the cannoli!!!"
While my personal experience with the fregola di sard (I know, such a small piece of the whole meal) was very disappointing, I would highly recommend Parisi's for anyone wishing to indulge in great Italian cuisine.
The wait staff are fantastic! They are very gracious and highly attentive to all the customers and work so very hard to make your experience both comfortable, and memorable - cheers to all the staff! You ROCK!

Parisi’s is a regular dining spot for us, we have dined there on numerous occasions over the last 7 or 8 years. Always a high quality meal and the service and ambiance is always great. The management make you feel more than a customer , it feels like you’re dining at a friends house. Highly recommend ✅✅✅✅

Parisi's never lets you down. Our food was absolutely superb. Both of us had the specials of the day - mine was barramundi, which was moist, delicious and served with the perfect salad. My friend had lasagne. The only complaint we have is that the serve was huge! It was a shame to waste it, as it was also delicious. The staff are really friendly, know their stuff and are very courteous and attentive. Well done Parisi's

Pizzas were tasty, entree was ok. We had a booking for my husband's birthday and arrived 10 min early. We were told to sit wherever we liked so chose the courtyard area as it was quieter. Then had quite a wait for wait staff to bring menus. The entire time we were there, we felt uncomfortable due to the unfriendly atmosphere that permeated throughout the restaurant. Despite our friendly greetings, polite ordering, and not complaining about our smelly drinking glasses, we couldn't thaw our waitresses frosty demeanour!
We didn't stay for coffee and desserts, although we had planned to, staff were starting to clean and pack furniture in our area..although I believe closing time is 'Late' and this was 8.30pm. It just wasn't a relaxing experience, and food wasn't special enough for us to want to return. All in all, a bit of a disappointment unfortunately.

I’ve eaten and made a lot of risotto over the years - but this was an absolute abomination - certainly the worst meal I’ve eaten. It tasted like “jarlick” and was swimming in brown liquid. The meal was gross and also made me stomach sick.

Overpriced.
Very ordinary service combined with a fillet steak at lunchtime for $47, also being charged for milk on the side with a coffee $.80.
One of us had a chocolate bar which we happened open and have a piece of and we were reprimanded by the staff for doing this.
Unbelievable, unbelievable I will never go back there😫😫😫
