We came here for lunch and was greeted its rustic decor, soft lighting, and welcoming atmosphere, it's the perfect spot for a cozy meal with family or friends. They did a very good job turning a pub into an italian restaurant. The dining experience begins with a selection of antipasti that sets the tone for the meal. The kingfish crudo was delicious, melt-in-your-mouth kingfish delicately arranged and dressed with a hint of lemon, olive oil, and a sprinkle of sea salt. The parfait is smooth and rich, with a silky texture and a depth of flavour and perfect companion to the wood-fired bread, which arrived at the table warm and fragrant. The crust was perfectly crisp, while the inside remains soft and airy. For main we ordered: Bucatini, shiitake, chilli, garlic & vongole pasta, The bucatini was cooked to al dente perfection, its hollow shape ideal for capturing the rich sauce. The shiitake mushrooms added a deep, earthy flavour that pairs beautifully with the tender vongole. Infused with garlic and a touch of chilli, the dish is aromatic and satisfying, with a perfect balance of spice and umami. Josper-roasted prawns, chilli & lemon. These fresh prawns were expertly cooked in the Josper grill, which imparts a smoky flavour that complements the natural sweetness of the seafood. The addition of chilli provides a gentle kick, while a squeeze of fresh lemon juice brightens the dish, enhancing the prawns' succulent taste. Roasted Cauliflower with Almond, Prosciutto, and Chilli. The cauliflower was beautifully charred, offering a delightful crunch, while the toasted almonds add a nutty richness. The prosciutto gave a savory and subtle saltiness, perfectly balanced by the gentle heat of the chilli. For dessert - tart of the day with prune, custard, almond and frangipani. It has perfectly baked, golden crust that provides a crisp and buttery base for the layers above. The prunes are soft and sweet, offering a pleasant contrast to the smooth and creamy custard layer that sits atop the crust. The custard is light yet indulgent, with a hint of vanilla. I also loved the torched caramelises sugar on top. I am not a dessert person but this one was delicious and light. Service was good, attentive and pleasant. Definitely would come back to try their other antipasti and main.

We came here for a friend’s birthday for lunch. We heard good things about Totti’s and wanted to give it a try. The food were amazing but the service was a let down. We expected more. We’ve ordered the wood fire bread with some antipestos - chicken pate, mushroom, salted beetroots, baratta cheese, and prosciutto. The bread was so delicious that we had to order a second one to eat with our antipasto dishes. They were all delicious, the pate was just a little salty but it was still delicious. For main, we shared the Pappardelle, lamb ragu and 'little joe's' 800g bone-in sirloin along with 2 sides - rocket salad and broccolini between us 4 girls and it was more than enough, we were all too full to try any of their dessert dishes. We really enjoyed the lamb ragu and will definitely come back again to try their other pasta dishes and their desserts. The only downside of this place is their service. The waiter and waitress that served us wasn’t attentive. When we were seated, the waitress has asked us if we would like still, tap or sparkling water. About 10 mins later, another staff came and asked if we would like still, tap or sparkling. Once we’ve placed our food order, our wood fire bread and antipesto came out and our water hasn’t came out. It was very hard to get the staff’s attention to order our drinks when we wanted to order extra drinks. Towards the end of the dining experience, we wanted a doggie bag to take the bone home for our dog. They took the plates in and said they will do it for us when we said we can do it ourselves. It took 2 waitresses to come out to double check with us on the doggie bag. However, when we came home. They placed 1 slice of sirloin in a small take away box, with no bone. What are we gonna do with that 1 slice of meat? What a joke. Beside that, the service of the food was fast. We did not have to wait long to recieve our entrees and mains. We will try totti’s again but probably in a different location due to their services.

If you thought Bar Tottis in the CBD was nice, this establishment presents greater character and class. There are two distinct areas. One side has the beach house wine with summery coastal decor such as white wooden furniture and plants, whereas the other side is dim and moody with jazz bar vibes (as pictured). We didn’t have a reservation for Saturday lunch so we arrived at 11:50am and were the first ones there. We greeted by the lovely staff and promptly seated at the “jazz bar” side upon opening. I personally felt that the other (brighter) side would have been nicer for lunchtime, however, we were pretty happy to get a table. The food was fantastic as always. We ordered the bread with sides of burrata, prosciutto and tomatoes. For mains, we got the crab linguine and prawn cresta di gallo to share. Don’t forget to ask for a side of house chilli oil and Parmesan cheese, as it really elevates the pastas. We also each ordered a nice cocktail to celebrate. The food was a good amount for three people and unfortunately, we were all too full for dessert. The restaurant was full by 12:30pm and due to the busyness, we felt that the restaurant waitstaff had to be called a few times for water and chilli oil. However, the overall experience was still very pleasant and I would highly recommend it 😊 As others have mentioned, parking is quite limited and we parked on Darling St. However, at 11:45am there were still spots along Belmore St, so do try your luck. I would recommend booking but if you don’t manage to get a booking, then try to arrive before opening time. Their main entrance is on Evans St, however, there is also a side entrance on Belmore St.

the hype and excitement surrounding around @tottis.merivale got me so eager to try them out, therefore i made sure that a visit was made on our short sydney trip✨👀the hype was particularly around their famous wood-fired bread~🔥🍞 we got✨🍽️: 🍞wood-fired bread ($16) ♥️prosciutto ($21) 🧀mozzarella ($14.5) 🦑calamari ($20) 🔥lobster & prawn vodka pasta ($60) 🍝fettuccine ($30) 🍹riot spritz ($16) the bread, was so warm, soft, chewy… top a piece with some mozzarella and prosciutto🥹🥰ugh my heart, it was divine!~ their mozzarella and prosciutto were so so delicious!~ i’m proud of choosing this combination🤍 the calamari was a special of theirs and we are so glad we ordered it! because wow, fried so perfectly in light batter and so fresh🤩 the lobster pasta oof- she was a steep price, especially for the unexpected slap of heat and spice that we got🔥🤣we had nooo clue it was going to be spicy, but do you see those chilli flakes? wowzers, didn’t feel so cold after all😗🤣in my opinion, even with some chunks of lobster, not really worth $60~ their fettuccine on the other hand, quite nice and tasty!🥰 however, both pastas were cooked really nicely and just right!~✨ conclusion, i do recommend @tottis.merivale and i understand why @sydney locals love them🥹🥰what we adored the most was their homey atmosphere and open kitchen layout! we felt like we were dining in someone’s home and it was a one of a kind experience~

I really wanted to love this place, but I feel like they're so popular that they do not consistently provide good service. We were warmly greeted and taken to our table, then that same server who said they'd be back with water but never came back. We finally got someone's attention who realised we didn't have water and also disappeared. While the service is friendly, they're all in their own world, doing busy work and not paying attention to the customers. While they did warn us we'd have a two hour seating, because the service was so slow, by the time it was dessert, they said they'd had to move us from the main dining area. So they shoved us in adjoining the pub section! I was initially going to give this place 3 stars because the food is actually very good (the special t-bone steak though was overcooked), and I do dream about the chocolate torte. But the service and atmosphere scream indifference, so while writing this review realised they deserve these 2 stars. I'd rather spend my money on the many other italian restaurants in Sydney who value customer service and looking after generous paying customers. We did spend a decent penny.

Must order bread. The food here was so good, it makes up for anything else! The restaurant is very busy so best to book ahead. The service was a bit slow at times and there was a mix of very friendly staff and staff who were just neutral. We waited a bit for our mains, it felt like they forgot it, and only remembered after we asked half an hour later. But the food was so good, we forgave the mishap. Their house baked bread is out of this world, male sure to order plenty of shared entrees to go with it as they were all amazing. We ordered the burrata which was very fresh, we had it with the rich chicken parfait and it was an amazing combination. The kingfish crudo was very delicate and the baked tomino was incredible. We had the crab pasta for the main, the flavour was amazing and the pasta cooked to perfection. The desserts let the menu down a bit so I'd give it a miss next time and order more entrees. Highly recommend this place, food alone, it was perfect!
