Top Best Italian Restaurants in The Phoenix

"A plate of blushing tuna tartare, dotted with beetroot-pickled radish, fennel pollen and trout roe is set down by a waiter in a white jacket. There's loud applause. But it's not for the beauty of the dish, nor the theatre of mixing it tableside."

"With its doors opened since 2002, this Sydney restaurant is located in the southern section of Bondi Beach, the city’s most famous beach. The main reason why restaurant’s success remains unchanged?. The answer is what is should be: the food."

"Icebergs Dining Room and Bar, 1 Notts Ave, Bondi Beach NSW 2026. 18 minutes from Club Wyndham Sydney. There are a few reasons to pay attention to Icebergs."

"One of the best Italian restaurants in Sydney is offering up a whole heap of their menu highlights for pre-order and pickup, much to the fortune of Potts Point locals, and much to the envy of everyone else. And yes, that includes their mind-blowing pasta scampi, as well as their fried calamari, and even the pretzel with whipped roe from sister restaurant 10 William St. order.hungryhungry.com"

"Great wine, delicious food and genuine service is all rolled into one at Fratelli Paradiso, a friendly One-Hat restaurant in Potts Point. Although not as swanky as other restaurants on the list, the hospitality here makes you feel right at home. Match that with a seasonal gourmet menu and you’ve certainly got one charming, laid back eatery worth visiting."

"You are confined only by the walls you create" reads the text printed on the glass walls hemming in LuMi. It's a little hammy, sure, but the mood is right on: in bringing a Japanese mood to bear on Italian cuisine, Federico Zanellato treads territory few chefs dare to. But his scope is far wider: a single scallop, sliced and put back together with interleaved slivers of rhubarb and jalapeño, for example, is listed on the menu as ceviche, but plays like sashimi, and spins in a new wave crudo direction with a base of buffalo curd and rhubarb vinegar."

"Restaurants Darling Harbour"

"Alberto’s Lounge is well known for its perfect mix of Australian and Italian cuisine with a 70s-inspired backdrop. The menu here includes dishes such as house-made ricotta with Sardinian flatbread, pasta e fagioli, tonnarelli with blue swimmer crab and rigatoni with braised beef cheek. But that’s not all the dessert list is full of amazing dishes to share with your partner or dates like a milky dome of macadamia panna cotta and Sicilian-style cannoli pumped with fresh whipped ricotta and candied peel, why not also try the house-made gelato."

"If your love language involves a healthy balance of wood panelling, Amatriciana and cannoli, then Alberto's Lounge is the date night spot you have to add to your list. Known as the Italian cousin to Restaurant Hubert – another favourite on our list of romantic resturants in Sydney – this unmissable jaunt is the perfect mix of Australian and Italian cuisine with a 70s-inspired backdrop. What makes Alberto's Lounge so special is that it's one of those spots you would surely miss if you weren't looking."

"Restaurants Italian Sydney"

"No list about the best places for lunch in Sydney would be complete without the legendary Machiavelli Ristorante Italiano. Specialising in traditional Italian cuisine since 1988, this spot is all about quality food and wine. With a focus on Neapolitan cuisine specifically, you’ll find a delightful array of dishes that are perfect for trying over lunch."

"Hidden away just beneath Clarence Street down a set of flagstone steps, Machiavelli Restaurant has been serving West Sydney locals for more than 30 years. Cured meats hang from sturdy crossbeams suppo..."

"We just love Casoni, the cute as a button Darlinghurst eatery where Italian classics meet Asian flavours. Their delicious set menus are some of our favourites in Sydney and they’re available in lockdown with Casoni at Home offering set menus for $54 per person, per day. All their set menus are delicious but we absolutely love their miso caramelised roasted eggplant with nduja, salumi and mozzarella croquette, gnocchi carbonara with salted yolk and black garlic bread with miso butter!"

"An all-day eatery and cocktail bar accommodating any occasion, Bartolo is a classy Italian restaurant in Surry Hills that will charm the pants off any visitor – regardless of the hour. Guests can pop in during the morning and have an espresso, enjoy a long weekend lunch in true Italian style, unwind with an aperitivo cocktail after work, or have a romantic dinner for two. Expect traditional flavours and a very nice ambience – with the extra bonus of outdoor seating."

"For the duration of this Sydney lockdown the notoriously hard to book Italian classic, Il Baretto will be offering food for take-away. Phone your order in and you’ll be able to enjoy anything from burrata to their pasta specials from duck ragu pappardelle to gnocchi and or meatballs in sugo with toasted ciabatta. Order up a storm and enjoy it at home with a bottle of red (or two – who’s counting!)."

"Did you know that dumplings are double the size in Sydney that they are in Melbourne?. Scout's honour - the ones in Sydney you pretty much need to bite in half, whereas Melbourne's versions generally go straight in the cake hole. You also get more variation here and the trolleys make the rounds more regularly."

"Marigold is one of the oldest and best Chinese restaurants in Sydney. For unpretentious eats and plenty of variety, from classics like prawn dumplings and barbeque pork buns, you have to be quick as the trollies move fast. The space is huge and nurtures a warm, communal atmosphere."

"Re-imaging modern Chinese dining in the heart of Sydney's Chatswood, Mama Mulan on Archer Street dishes up crowd-pleasing favourites in a beautifully designed, accessible setting. Come and let Mama lo... "Each meal is a culinary journey."

"Sweet toothed folks with dietary requirements haven’t been left behind either, thanks to good folks at Nutie. The crew is currently keeping both the Balmain and Surry Hills spots open for takeaway so Sydneysiders can continue to get their sugar fix. If you’ve never had the opportunity to try one of Nutie’s extravagant doughnuts, here’s the lowdown: they’re all 100-percent gluten-free, resulting in a slightly denser, cake-like treat (and this is not a bad thing)."

"When a bookstore meets a café, it really is the best of both worlds at Ampersand Café & Bookstore on Oxford Street in Paddington. The perfect setting for book clubs and foodies, this venue has more th..."

"Bars Cocktail bars Sydney. Prince of York isn't afraid of a little party atmosphere. The sprawling, low-lit warehouse of a space with metres of exposed brick and geometric prints is the setting for a indulgent, generous shared lunch menu full of full-flavoured, hearty plates: oysters topped with Bloody Mary granita,  four-cheese porcini arancini and a crab club sandwich with truffle hot sauce are on the line-up."
