Restaurant in Bondi Beach
A modern Italian restaurant and bar a block back from the sand on Sir Thomas Mitchell Road, built around shared antipasti, house-made pasta and an Amalfi Coast "la dolce vita" mood.
If you want a relaxed Italian dinner without fighting for a Campbell Parade window table, this sits just off the main drag with a warm, styled interior and outdoor seating. The kitchen leans into homemade pasta and shared plates, and the format flexes from a couples' date night to a bigger group spread. Recent diners consistently single out the pasta and the attentive service.
Lean into the pasta e secondi - house pasta like pappardelle con ragù, gnocchi and the saffron prawn ravioli - alongside antipasti to share (burrata, arancini, cured meats) and the wagyu steak tartare.
Warm, styled and lively; can get loud when full
Local tip: Locals with a 2026 postcode get 20 percent off on Thursdays, and Wednesday runs a pasta-and-vino deal - worth timing a visit around if you're staying nearby.
Worth knowing: It's a block back from the water, so there are no real ocean views, and a few reviewers have flagged it as noisy on busy nights.
We confirm each venue is currently trading; hours, prices and menus still change, so check the venue's own site for those before you go.
