Top Best Italian Restaurants in Sydney

"This upscale Bondi diner may be closer to the sand than the pavements of the concrete jungle, but is there a more impressive place to shake hands than in the aqua-hued dining room perched on a cliff overlooking our most iconic stretch of coastline?. White-waistcoated staff pour wine and usher plates from the kitchen, which could be chef Monty Koludrovic’s signature ‘surf ‘n’ turf’ bruschetta of sea urchin and foie gras, black ink spaghetti with WA blue swimmer crab, or steak of the day with seasonal greens. 1 Notts Ave, Bondi Beach, idrb.com"

"Restaurants Potts Point. We might be a city of shifting dining whims, but our love of scampi, split and grilled in their shells, next to a tangle of spaghetti wearing vermillion tomato sugo and chopped parsley like edible couture never falters. That’s why it’s always a roll of the dice for how hard it’s going to be to get a table at Fratelli Paradiso for lunch on a weekend."

"One of the best Italian restaurants in Sydney is offering up a whole heap of their menu highlights for pre-order and pickup, much to the fortune of Potts Point locals, and much to the envy of everyone else. And yes, that includes their mind-blowing pasta scampi, as well as their fried calamari, and even the pretzel with whipped roe from sister restaurant 10 William St. order.hungryhungry.com"

"Offering its guests streetside dining, Fratelli Paradiso is a firm choice for alfresco eats for its mouth-watering selection of handmade pasta dishes. That's not all though as hungry diners can expect to be wooed with tiramisu, fresh pastries and handpicked bottles of wine."

"You are confined only by the walls you create" reads the text printed on the glass walls hemming in LuMi. It's a little hammy, sure, but the mood is right on: in bringing a Japanese mood to bear on Italian cuisine, Federico Zanellato treads territory few chefs dare to. But his scope is far wider: a single scallop, sliced and put back together with interleaved slivers of rhubarb and jalapeño, for example, is listed on the menu as ceviche, but plays like sashimi, and spins in a new wave crudo direction with a base of buffalo curd and rhubarb vinegar."

"Drawing inspiration from Italian food and interweaving masterful Japanese influences, LuMi Bar and Dining takes fine dining to a whole new level by bringing together two incredibly different cuisines for one cohesive experience. The menu is ever-changing due to seasonal availability, but the seven-course degustation always impresses. If you consider yourself an oenophile, we recommend also taking advantage of the wine flight designed to pair with each of the dishes paired by expert sommelier, Michela."

"With a prime backdrop of the Pyrmont waterfront, LuMi Bar & Dining is an idyllic dinner destination for relaxed fine dining. The food is Italian with a Japanese twist, and served only in a degustation menu designed around seasons and market availability. Choose between a 5-course, 7-course, or 10-course feast, and pair it with something from the Italy-focused wine list."

"Alberto’s Lounge is well known for its perfect mix of Australian and Italian cuisine with a 70s-inspired backdrop. The menu here includes dishes such as house-made ricotta with Sardinian flatbread, pasta e fagioli, tonnarelli with blue swimmer crab and rigatoni with braised beef cheek. But that’s not all the dessert list is full of amazing dishes to share with your partner or dates like a milky dome of macadamia panna cotta and Sicilian-style cannoli pumped with fresh whipped ricotta and candied peel, why not also try the house-made gelato."

"The Italian cousin of Hubert’s, Alberto’s follows in the family footsteps with its dark and handsome dining room and irresistible Italian menu. The busy, upbeat vibe makes this more of a fun date place, which can help to take the edge off nervous new couples. As can the martini della casa."

The worthwhile ‘big ticket’ (adult/child $32/20) includes entry to some of the vessels moored outside, including the atmospheric submarine HMAS Onslow and the destroyer HMAS Vampire.
