I was looking forward to trying the “classica”, or what had been described to me as a real “focaccia al formaggio” from Recco and what I have found is some good (but too salty) flat bread with stracchino cheese on top. Being originally from the Recco area, probably my expectations were a tad too high... however I guess this is the best you can get around Sydney. Btw, everything is overpriced. I was shocked at paying a huge bill (over 220 dollars) for four spritz, four “focacce”, two desserts and two kids serves of gnocchi, not even equivalent to a standard serve. I don’t think I’ll give this restaurant another go.

——— Edit: for the record, today (the day following my review) the owner texted to me on Messenger and quite rudely - besides unnecessarily - wanted to make his point again. Here is more than enough, there’s no need to discuss my genuine impressions with someone so impolite, really. ——— Edit 2: it’s hilarious how you keep counting 6 customers when I have already explained that 2 out of 6 were toddlers who shared a serve of gnocchi and didn’t drink anything but tap water... however... Both the supposedly ironic “cara mia” and the judgemental attitude towards a not satisfied customer tell a lot. You try to diminish my life experience insinuating I am a newly arrived, naive and cheap person who dumbly would prefer a Domino’s pizza... how nice of you! I won’t even reply, dear mr “turismo in Liguria”, your opinionated attitude says it all. Now since you gave me a suggestion, I’ve got two for you: 1) learn some manners - because dealing with people should be your thing, right? 2) update yourself about fine dining costs in the inner/eastern suburbs, not just Rozelle, you’ll be most probably surprised.
