Bartolo

Unfortunately the food was poor. The drink selection was limited.

Great ambience , warm friendly, helpful staff, excellent food, I had the gnocchi lamb raggu and was pleasantly surprised by the flavour and texture of the homemade gnocchi and tenderness of the lamb

Very good Italian food and wine at a reasonable price.

Wonderful restaurant, with great Italian food and very friendly staff

It was a relatively quiet, rainy Sunday night. We had a beautiful, relaxed meal and excellent wine. Staff were attentive and lovely.

Really lovely, food, service and atmosphere - i will definitely return

Second time here...loved it the first time. Second time...with a business client in tow....food was disappointing. The atmos and interior still lovely, the staff perky bright and efficient, but every course was more disappointing than the last. Might be time for a new chef??

Service was very good with knowledgeable people. Food was also very good

the food overall was good. we had issues with the food slow to come out of the kitchen, the main portion sizes were very different - we ended up needing another side for one main. the waitstaff, atmosphere and overall quality was good. would still recommend.

Food was superb. Service needs a bit of polishing. Enjoyed the night

Didn’t like the music.. Found it interfered with the meal. Something less intrusive would be better.

Excellent food, service and ambiance. Will definitely be back. Thank you!

Excellent service and delicious food, the wait staff were lovely and the wine list extensive.

Authentic Sicilian food, excellent wine list, lovely ambience. Recommended for lunch or dinner

Food was good, but not "WOW". Overall the prices are too high. Either prices have to come down or quality of the food needs to go up.

Our waitress was wonderful . Her advice was spot on . The food delicious, her wine recommendation same . All in all we had a wonderful lunch, satisfying in every way . Thank you for a wonderful experience .

we had a beautiful night, great atmosphere great service we will be back

Lovely team, great food, awesome Sunday bloody Mary’s. Just recomendable

Incredible meal! Can’t wait to go back. Staff were lovely and attentive. Entree, mains, desserts were all fantastic. This will become our local for sure!

Food was great! The polpette were so soft and moist. Grilled octopus was perfect and the sauce it was presented with was so intensely tomato! You must try the chocolate mousse it had an interesting delicious twist. We arrived for an early dinner and the place got noisy by the time we left and the service also slowed down.

Caffe Bartolo has Great food, service and drinks! We will definitely recommend to friends and be back to try other dishes. Thanks for a fun night.

Always great food and staff. Lovely atmosphere that I would recommend to everyone. Just discovered they also do breakfast so that’s my next booking. Book it

Excellent food and service all night, I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves authentic Italian food and wine. The signature negroni was particularly good to start the night

little on the noisy side .... and it would have been better to have been seated at a table for 5 and not 8...so work on that

Fantastic food, great service, lovely space. Couldn’t rate it highly enough. Had rigatoni, lamb loin and caprese salad, followed by a wonderful and generous tiramisu. Will be back.

Great fresh food with a changing menu, lovely Italian wines, friendly attentive service ,open early and late and with comfortable chairs - what more can you ask for?

Food is best to share, will be back to try more of the menu. Such wonderful staff. They made the experience a really great one.

Excellent light Italian cuisine. Good service. Relaxed atmosphere. Ideal for casual catch ups. Would like to see a Tap beer or a better offering of package beer. Definate value for money.

Superb service,attentive and discreet. Cocktails were heaven. Main course delicious. Tiramisu...I prefer the more authentic recipe however it was very nice. Wine list needed more explanation however the selection recommended was superb. Excellent evening

It looks quite nice. The service is very patchy. The food is reasonable. Not great value. I think it will get better with some time.

Atmosphere was a little lacking as the restaurant was not that busy, but food and drinks were fantastic! Great little location in Surry with fitting decor

Was quite expensive for what it was, not many vegetarian options either. Extensive wine list but everything starting from $55. Staff however, very friendly and accomodating.

Great food. Great atmosphere. Must try the kingfish ceviche which was incredible. You must ask for a cocktail too; they use a single large ice cube which is beautiful!

Had wanted to try Caffe Bartolo for a while, after Bills moved next door and watching the transformation into Bartolo. New interior look definitely changed the restaurant. The atmosphere was busy, noisy with diners chat but the space between tables is extremely close. It feels like you are almost dining with your neighbours - staff have challenges manoeuvring between tables and fellow diners often bump into each other’s chairs while seated at their tables. It was hard to have a conversation across the table and felt like the tables around you could hear every word. Food menu and quality is ok. Staff are great and doing their best in a very restrictive space.

Great staff, food was delicious, and a great vibe. We had the gnocchi with prawns and it was cooked perfectly. The freshly baked pastries looked delicious so we'll definitely head back.

Lovely food. Beautiful wine. Service was attentive but as it was a Friday evening, rather slow. Will come back again on another night! Would definitely recommend.

Great Italian cafe with actual Italian staff serving authentic Sicilian dishes. The staff were super helpful with my eggplant allergy and the food was imaginative and reasonably priced. Great atmosphere plus outside seating too.

The entrees were great but the mains were a bit meh. The Seafood Gnoochi felt like two separate dishes combined and the Rigatoni meat was not the best quality. Whilst the restaurant is really nice inside, the layout does not allow for a lot of privacy/comfort. The tables are too close together and I felt like I had to shout over the noise from the tables next to me, which made me feel uncomfortable. The tables were also so small that when having 2 entree dishes on the table, we could not eat comfortably without bumping our elbows. I will give it another chance but ambiance and the mains let it down. However, the service was good and the sparkling water provided was an extra bonus.

We had a great time, food was delicious and staff very friendly and knowledgeable. The drinks were particularly good with the negroni and Bellini highly recommended

Great ambience, excellent service, amazing food – actually really authentic amazing food – reminiscent of Sicily. This place is an undiscovered gem hopefully not too many people find out about it, but I suspect that won’t be the case for long.

Amazing food, amazing service. Will be back in the near future, for sure. The marinated octopus is definitely worth a try, as is the gnocchi.

Great food and service, however the menu is quite small, only two pasta dishes. Great atmosphere and very attentive service but crazy wine prices, and all Italian.

Amazing service from all staff and really delicious food. Great atmosphere and the perfect spot for dinner and drinks after work with friends. Love this place!

It is a lovely place but the food is a bit inconsistent. My fish main was very nice but my husband’s octopus looked more like an appetiser.

Cafee Bartolo is soooo delicious! Love love love the food, wine & service. We will definitely be back again. Oh, and the pappardelle is a MUST!

Main meals were delicious. Definitely recommend the octopus! A European feel to the decor and cocktails to match. We were only let down by the Italian style donuts.

Excellent food. Excellent service. Damn good cocktails - you’re not doing it right if you don’t try (at least) one. Great little neighbourhood gem. Get on down and try it.

Great food, wine list and fantastic service. the new fit out gives it a real cafe/wine bar feel. The mix of communal tables and individual works well - the footpath will be buzzing on sunny days! A new favourite in the 'hood!

We had a delicious meal at Caffe Bartolo. The food, wine, service and ambience was just perfect. We have just spent a month in Italy so we are very particular. We will definitely be back.

Good food, a nice setting, good service. We didn't know the wine list but the recommendations were very good. We will have dinner there again.
