Yesterday on the eve of Father's Day we had booked the restaurant. Once we reached there, we were treated well by the girls. Upon confirming the reservation, they allocated the place on the waterfront side as per our preference mentioned in the booking. Then a old gentlemen came and 3 times confirmed with us if we really had booking. We felt awkward as we noticed he again went to confirm with the girls that we have reservation or not . We felt the enquiry was racist in nature. Because almost all guest were white skin people except we few wheatish colour one . In fact I could notice the old who was doing deep enquiry with us was from Italy. I really felt to go out from the restaurant as it was every embarrassing for us. My wife and other family members insisted not to spoil the father's celebration and leave this matter.
Now the food part . 2-3 times we had been there earlier food were good but this time, it was literally pathetic. We ordered Aranchini balls which was fine but rest all items were like were served in haste. Burratta was horrible awful . The main course came with 45 minutes delay, even we ordered starter and maIn course together. Pizza we ordered with extra cheese but it came almost no cheese and soggy condition and when we confronted the guy, he offered if we can bring some cheese or can take pizza back and add some cheese. We did not want to further delay as we had been served with so much delay. The pasta was again cold and tasteless.
In totality it was just a case of “great boast, little roast” with full arrogance and a extra touch of racial...
Read moreI had a very disappointing experience at this restaurant while celebrating Christmas with a group of friends. While the salads, entrees, and pastas were enjoyable, the service was severely lacking.
About 45 minutes after the pastas were served, we began to wonder about the pizzas that over half the table had ordered. It turned out they had been completely forgotten. When we inquired about our order, we were told that it would take another 5 minutes. However, we noticed that the pizza ovens had already been turned off, and the staff was beginning to pack up, indicating that they hadn’t even started making our pizzas. Realizing it would take much longer than promised, we decided to cancel the pizzas and request our bill instead.
Our issues with the bill added even more frustration; we had to send it back twice because it still included a pizza we didn’t receive and items we had already paid for. To make matters worse, there was no offer of compensation, drinks, or food to apologize for the mix-up. Receiving an accurate bill ended up taking another 20 minutes as staff were busy prioritising other things.
Overall, this experience ruined our Christmas dinner and left us incredibly disappointed (and hungry). I cannot recommend this place based on the poor service we...
Read morePizza Ricardo in Narrabeen is a true culinary gem! From the moment we arrived, we were enchanted by the warm, inviting ambiance and the breathtaking waterfront views. The gentle sea breeze and relaxed coastal setting created the perfect atmosphere for an unforgettable dining experience.
We indulged in a feast of pasta, pizza, and appetisers, and every dish was a delight. The appetisers were fresh and full of flavour, setting the perfect tone for the meal. The wood-fired pizzas were simply outstanding—crispy, thin crusts loaded with high-quality toppings that melted in our mouths. And the pasta? Absolutely divine! Perfectly cooked and coated in rich, well-balanced sauces that left us wanting more.
To top it all off, the cocktails were expertly crafted, refreshing, and paired beautifully with our meal. The desserts were the perfect sweet finish—decadent, indulgent, and utterly delicious.
With its stunning waterfront views, incredible food, and welcoming ambiance, Pizza Ricardo offers an exceptional dining experience. Whether you're after a casual meal or a special night out, this place is a must-visit. Highly...
