Working at Sportivo Café remains one of the most formative and professionally fulfilling experiences of my hospitality career. Under the leadership of Uday, the café upheld an exceptional standard—one rooted in precision, consistency, and a genuine respect for both staff and customers. Uday led with quiet confidence and intelligence, setting a clear example through his calm, composed manner and deep understanding of hospitality. He created a workplace where structure, communication, and team cohesion were not just expected, but nurtured.

As a staff member, I felt supported, seen, and encouraged to perform at my best. Expectations were high, but always fair—delivered with clarity and respect. Uday earned the trust of his team by demonstrating integrity, professionalism, and a deep commitment to quality service. There was no chaos, no ego—just a well-run, positive environment where you could take pride in your role.

Sportivo Café itself was a vibrant and welcoming space, not only for the local community but for those of us who had the privilege to be part of its team. The systems were well-established, service flowed smoothly, and the culture was built on mutual respect and accountability. It was the kind of place where excellence wasn’t just encouraged—it was the standard.

I am proud to have been part of the Sportivo Café team and grateful to have worked under a leader like Uday, who exemplifies everything a hospitality professional should be: intelligent, composed, respectful, and inspiring. Any future team member would be lucky to be guided by his leadership. –...

My family and I came here two weekends ago. We were in the area and thought we give this a try after seeing the reviews and photos.

Parking is small and tight. However, across the road is a massive parking you can park for free for 3 hours. The service was average to good. This is because we had different servers throughout the evening.

The seating outside was ok. It definitely could be a little bit better in terms of cleanliness and arrangement. (I feel parents with prams may find the seating outside a little bit tight, recommend inside for comfortable seating with prams). Although not entirely bothering sitting outside with already seated children and perhaps highchair. The sun will and may be in your face depending on time you arrive and where you are sitting/facing. There was not much else for a better spot to sit comfortably, so you just kind of wait for the sun to set.

The food is ok. The Caesar burger meal - The egg tasted awfully rotten, had one bite and could no longer consume, making it hard to taste the rest of the burger, chips was decent. This was a massive put off. Chicken Risotto - was good, good portions with veggies, flavour was all there, chicken was tender, cooked, juicy and was not too much or too little, bacon pieces however is a bit too much for our liking, if you are a lover, this is for you. Fish n Chips - Chips was decent, Fish was decent too. Not a fault. Pepperoni Pizza - It was very cheesy, personal preference was too much and too oily, again if this is for you, you will enjoy it. It was a little hard to taste the flavour as it was mainly cheese, pepperoni was ok (similar to the ones you can get from the deli) crust was average, expected better for a wood oven pizza, this is just our personal opinion. Margherita Pizza - Too much cheese, oily, cannot taste much of the sauce. Both the pizzas were too heavy for our liking, the middle part was really soggy as the oily ness and cheese was a bit much, it was also a bit too charr for our personal preference, could not really taste the pizza sauce, nothing too special in our opinion, but it was ok to eat. Garlic Pizza - It was quite average, not a fault. Simple flavour, came out hot and fresh. Arancini Balls w sweet chilli and mayo - This was delicious. The sauce was good, crunchy, fresh, perfect amount of stuffing.

It was a...

And the owner dill said yes there is some oysters. tried some oysters with 4 half all together 3 sets of natural and 1/2 Doreen ok kil Patrick had 3 cocktails each I had two green slippers and two azile with lemonade which are spirits. We were served by this gentleman name Domenic but know as don he came over took us our drinks and food gave us a smile, and ask how our nights was going and served us our oysters and gave us clean plates each time. took our plates and when he was leaving had waved and said goodbye.
