Very long queue to get in, be prepared to wait up to 1hr even during the week. Bit worth the wait. Put your name on the waiting list and go grab a drink and snacks at Mejico next door!

Despite lots of people setting low expectations, the food was great and the service was so good we tipped the waiter (uncommon in Sydney). Book a table, and order plates and boards to share.

Great vibe and ambience, great cheese dishes like ricotta-filled ravioli etc. Great pasta, love that you can get a small serve of it too. Wines not very good. Dessert ok.

Burger is sadly not the 2nd best in Sydney, in fact it's quite on the opposite end of the scale. Can't go wrong if you order Italian though (truffled turkey v.good), and the service is brilliant.

Service is great! Very friendly and not obtrusive. Food was even better. You must try the Arancini balls and more importantly, the amazing chocolate brownie!

Good not great. Get there early, make reservations, or be prepared to wait (sometimes over an hour). Services is always outstanding.

Despite the 90min wait (arrived at 6pm), this place was totally worth it! Ricotta, lemon and parmesan ravioli was delicious! Get there early to reserve a table, then go for a drink while you wait :)

If you are going to have a cheat day, have Tagliatelle Bolognese at Jamie Oliver's...but have a salad, too!

There could be a pretty long wait on Friday nights. But the food is pretty good. I had a sausage pappardelle which I'd probably give an 85% only because it was a little more raw than al dente.

You can now book online!! Amazing food. Enjoyed the squid starter as well as the massive olives. Must get the salmon! Delicious, fresh and crunchy!
Jessica YungApril 1, 2015
The Chicken Liver Pâté Bruschetta and Potato & Ricotta Tortellini were amazzzzzzing! We came in before 6pm without a reservation to score a seat within 10 mins.

Everything is good here ! Pricey though.their house wines , whites , go really well with Jamie's pasta. However ... The waiters are extremely gorgeous ! Week 😍

Posh chips 👍 the tender strip loin steak is massive. I ordered rare and it came out just over but still tasted lovely. Wait staff are lovely and attentive. Gets noisy!
Leanne YinJanuary 7, 2012
Mushroom fritti and crispy polenta as sides is a must. Pasta's as expected are very tasty and made to perfection! They are great value and agree to get entree sizes to share.
JayJune 9, 2015
The polenta chips, Italian nachos, the burger and the brownie were all amazing!
Turi McKinleyMay 17, 2012
If you're solo or just two, ask for the antipasto bar upstairs, there will often be a seat long before there's a table open. And the Black Angel Pasta is lovely.
Ruben Garcia MohedanoAugust 20, 2014
Book in advance if you're a group. More try trendy nowadays but still great. Accept waiters recommendations
Martin AndersonMarch 30, 2013
The polenta chips are legendary and many of the dishes are classic Italian with an Aussie twist. The only thing to avoid is the tables on the top level near the waiters station as its very noisy
Victoria MifsudDecember 8, 2014
Prawn linguine is the best, so much flavour best pasta! Also try the desserts amazing. Always fanatic service
Lard van den BergMarch 27, 2013
This place is very popular. Be prepared to wait for some time. It is worth the wait though. Atmosphere, food and drinks are very good.

Don't get the Italian burger: tough bread on top of not so juicy meat patty. However the risotto and pastas are very good. Come after lunch time (i.e. 1pm onward) if you don't like waiting.

super friendly, helpful wait staff. LOVED the radicchio & rocket salad. looking forward to returning to try more items on the menu. exceeded my expectations!
Kylie JayOctober 3, 2014
You can't book, so prepare to wait. But they'll give you a buzzer so you can have a drink elsewhere. Food is stunning & well priced
Ziyad AlMarch 30, 2013
Flavoursome food! Best italian food i have ever had. Service was awesome with super friendly staff. Thanks cath for the lovely service
Fatin AmiraAugust 17, 2014
Had to wait for quite a while to get a table. Ordered Jool's favourite pasta and it was delish! Nice ambience
JohannaDecember 7, 2018
The service was great, but the noise level was very high all evening. The salmon caprese and the caprese salad starters were enjoyable, but the 49 dollar 350 g bone-in ribeye steak was disappointing.
MimiFebruary 20, 2015
The service was good. The zucchini fritters were enjoyable and the mint and pea ravioli special was delicious. What did disappoint was how hard the pasta was. Pasta was definitely not al dente at all.

Only go if you're a big fan of Jamie Oliver (I don't know why anyone would be). Otherwise nothing ground breaking here, plenty of other restaurants to go to in that price range. TAGLIATELLE BOLOGNESE! Read more
mark cMarch 22, 2012
Expect a queue unless you go there before 6pm for dinner! Definitely try the mushroom fritti, and you can't go wrong with the pastas.
IZZIEJune 5, 2013
Absolutely adore. Had the prawn linguine. Fell in love with the prawn linguine - no other prawn linguine will ever compare.
Ivan VaqueroSeptember 21, 2013
No reservation taken at evening, wetting time 1 1/2 if you get there around 6pm, but worth the wait.
Reg LOctober 10, 2012
Tiramisu is a must!! Light, fluffy layers with a hint of orange liqueur and plus it's a huge serving.
Dat HongMarch 7, 2015
Squid Ink spaghetti was fantastic. A must try!
phongsakorn nakornratanachaiDecember 5, 2013
Taste awesome especially Pasta.. Rabbit ragout. Just try you will love this restaurant
Hendy OngkodjojoNovember 12, 2012
Come here for lunch, minimal queue and less busy! The truffle tagliatelle is a must!!
AbbyFebruary 18, 2012
Funky/Polenta chips are amazing. As is the Wagga Wagga steak (best rare) and the luscious choc brownie!
AdamDecember 29, 2015
Great service, tried the bolognese, and polenta chips. I'd recommend the chips
Scott HargrovesMarch 1, 2015
Always tasty and this was no exception. The truffle fires are a must.
Tancy TanJuly 22, 2013
Rather disappointed to say the least. Not sure if waiters are hostile because we ordered mains & dessert to share, or what. The food was alright, though nothing to shout abt. Have tried better before
JSeptember 22, 2015
Better than its British counterparts - fish is their specialty, pasta is unremarkable
Tim HeaslipJuly 15, 2013
If you are a party of 1, walk past the line and right up front. They have some upstairs bar type seats for parties of 1 or 2.
Dennis HammerOctober 20, 2012
Fantastic! Simple, yet fresh and very tasty dishes. And wines to match...
MichelleDecember 19, 2011
Mushroom fritti for a starter is a must! The fish baked in a bag is also great as a main
Blas LambertiAugust 20, 2012
Polenta chips are awesome, kid's lasagna is excellent, osso bucco is terrific...

Del EtedFebruary 1, 2012
AWESOME restaurant - try the sirloin steak special! Eat it RARE! Yum!!
Alphonsus LeeDecember 11, 2013
Brownie is amazing! Tiramisu... Uh... Give it a miss...
Mohannad A. BashaSeptember 13, 2016
Had the slow-cooked lamb. Was perfect.
Jake HJanuary 4, 2012
