Palazzo Salato

Impeccable. Really, really good. The atmosphere in the restaurant was very warm, and the service was friendly and attentive, without being too overbearing. Our glasses were always full and the waitress knew her wine. We got the set menu which was reasonably priced. The dishes were well timed in their delivery and seriously delicious. Stand-outs were the beef crudo and the marrin. And the spanner crab pasta was to die for. Couldn't fault a dish. If it had been a less fancy establishment ! would have licked the plate on the beef crudo. Dessert was an amazing dark chocolate tart... Compliments to the chef. Will definitely return when I go back to Sydney...

Overall a pretty good Italian restaurant. The trippa and the abalone pasta were the highlights — the trippa was rich, flavourful, with just the right amount of spice, and the abalone pasta was fresh, and perfectly cooked. The marron was on the smaller side and tasted fine but not particularly impressive. The beef tartare was good but not outstanding, and the popular crab malfadine was nice, though also not remarkable. Lovely atmosphere overall and definitely worth a try.

Went here for lunch today and really enjoyed it! The food was good, the staff were friendly, and I loved the overall vibe. We started with the artichoke entrée topped with grated cheese and chilli sauce — it was full of umami, slightly tangy, and absolutely delicious. For mains, we tried the spanner crab malfadini and the anchovy spaghetti. Both were very tasty, but I did feel a tad let down by the crab pasta since it barely had any crab meat (there were only tiny specks!), and the pasta in general could have used a touch less oil. Still, overall a great experience and I’d definitely come back!

It has been weeks since we dined at Palazzo Salato, but I still think about the restaurant! We spent our first night in Sydney dining here, and it was such a great introduction to the city. We ordered various dishes from starters to mains, but the Tathra Place half duck and Mafaldine pasta are definitely worth trying ( and so as the starter calamari ) Service was great too, we weren’t sure which wine would pair well with what we ordered, and they had a specialist to advise us on that. Great ambience, not too loud despite how busy the restaurant was—definitely worth visiting.

Fantastic atmosphere with a great vibe and an impressive wine display. The gnocchi were excellent, and we also ordered a variety of seafood starters that were absolutely delicious. The service was outstanding — a true 5-star experience. Chris gave us plenty of thoughtful recommendations and was incredibly attentive throughout the evening.

Incredible experience. I messed up the lunchtime booking but they were very accomodating. The stracciatella was incredible with the bread, a great start. The spanner crab pasta was also delicious, great heat to it and a must try. I had been to Ragazzi before, both wonderful experiences.

Such an incredible dinner! The space was beautiful yet homey, the staff were so personable and most of all the food was excellent. We loved everything we ordered but the top 3 dishes of the night were: ⭐️Artichoke alla griglia 🍝Mafaldine with spanner crab 🍎Apple Clafoutis Can’t wait to be back!

Service was lovely and I really enjoyed my night at Palazzo Salato. The entrees were really good and I recommend ordering the stracciatella over the beef crudo. The cavatelli pasta was cooked perfectly and raw prawns were so fresh and sweet, but the sauce wasn’t balanced (was a tad too sour and heavy on the dill for me). Malfadine and spaghetti options were good (not pictured).
