Service was great, atmosphere was neither lively nor formal. It sat in the middle which gave it a casual feel but lacked the fun element it was trying hard to give with the beach decor.
The food was a let down. Everything was underwhelming, ok maybe a tad strong there but nothing memorable enough for me to go back again. Not the best pizza, not the best pasta, simply nothing was good enough to excite anyone at the table. With the $50 price tag for pasta, there is a certain level of expectation and definitely was disappointing. To make it edible, I had to put chilli flakes and olive oil in the pasta to give it that much needed oomph. We spent $200/pax with a bottle of wine and a few glasses of cocktails. Overall, an overpriced menu for a mediocre modern Italian wanna be.
Pizza - good dough, pomodoro sauce was ok, 7.5/10
Pasta - tagliatelle was al dente but the ragu was not flavourful enough 6/10
Steak - Well cooked and was served with a lovely mash and jus 9/10
Suckling pig - A bit fatty but was not bad 7.5/10
Fritto platter - BORING, the sauces were an odd companion too 6/10
Tiramisu - nothing exciting except for how it looked 7/10
Complementary amuse bouche -
Smoked bread - Everyone at the table agreed that our mouths smelt like a dirty astray. Way too heavily smoked. 0/10
Chicken pate bite - best thing we had 9.5/10
Foamy cheese tart - boring and a little tasteless 6/10
