We went to breakfast at an Italian restaurant next door to our accommodation. We were immediately pleased with the atmosphere of the place, and seated ourselves at a table toward the front of the venue. We were mildly dismayed when the owners opened the door and windows wide to the busy street outside, admitting the roar of traffic. Fortunately it also let in an agreeable breeze which, in conjunction with the service and atmosphere, still managed to tip the scales toward favorable.
I ordered a cappuccino along with a ham and cheese croissant, and both were so outstanding that the din of the street was forgotten entirely. I also noticed that the small tables along the wall were made from oversized, rounded cutting boards with the handle and strings still attached, and the lights in the ceiling were overturned tea cups on saucers, which was an artful touch and lent the place its unique character.
We returned the following morning and shared the last chocolate croissant they had left, which was still fresh and flakey. We were joined this morning by two others who were compelled to try the cappuccinos for themselves despite not being big coffee drinkers, and were not disappointed.
The staff were warm and friendly, and we agreed that the venue was far and away the best thing about our present...

This wonderful afternoon my 11 year old insisted on heading to Amici because she somehow knew there must be something very special about this place. And the reality was hands down the best ever experience EVER! Hannah didnt just feed us with the most delicious pasta and mouth watering Tiramisu,she did it like weāve never ever experienced before !! Sheās not just a restaurateur, sheās a host and entertainer with such flair and humour that she made our cheeks hurt with laughter and kept surprising us around every corner! Like serving tiramisu with a dash of frangelico which absolutely blew my mind ! That was just one thing and I canāt list down how much of a big fan I and my kid have become of Hannahās place. My kid just told me that this HAS to be the place to eat each and every time we came to the city. Absolutely love it! Tonnes of respect and gratitude for Hannah for showing is how much more a simple Italian restaurant can really...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreDecided to take my gf here for her bday as we were staying near by and it had great reviews. Unfortunately it was very underwhelming. Iām not sure if a lot of the reviews are fake but no way this place is in the top 10 restaurants in Sydney. The fact that there were only a handful of people having dinner on a Friday night with such a highly rated restaurant makes me think they are. The guy at the front desk was very nice but thatās about it.
Proās- Front of house was nice and it was easy to get a table.
Conās- the pasta tastes like packet pasta from Coles. Sauce lacked flavour. I had the pepperoni pizza and while it was ok the texture had more of a frozen pizza than freshly made. No bubbling on the crust. Very firm and not worth the money.
I hate leaving negative reviews but I felt like people...
