Beautiful tasting food. Great service. Will be back very soon.
Food was nice, just took a while to get out to us
They squished 3 people on one small table, not nice to see
We were seated for 30 minutes before I had to ask someone to tend to us even then I still had to wait 15 minutes for someone to actually take an order. Big Groups seem to get more attention than couples. Veal was WAY over cooked. Nice atmosphere though
we enjoyed the lunch, was going to have dessert but we didn't because the prices were extremely high.
Staff were very attentive, and food was timed well. We didn’t feel like all the meals were rushed and needed to leave the restaurant.
Wasn’t too fussed on the sauce in the Bolognaise, but lovely food and awesome service. Will be back again!
Was a nice place. Friendly, yummy and filled my tummy
The birthday VIP experience was great with bongo drums and cake
awesome ,great food, good service will definitely be back :))
Very attentive staff - yummy pizza, doughnuts and cannolis .... drumming, music and song for the birthday girl was great .... wonderful evening....
Delicious, huge meal sizes, fast service, great restaurant for large groups
Awesome food, awesome staff, awesome atmosphere! Will be back again!
Poor service - long wait time for food even though there was no one in the restaurant! Food was average.
Food was very good. Service was very slow - one meal didn’t arrive until everyone else was nearly finished.
The pizza was good, however- everything else was absolutely shocking. We booked online, ahead of time and were placed in the middle of the dining room at a tiny, two seater table literally 30cm away from tables on both sides. The restaurant was cramped, it was full of screaming children, and it was so loud I could barely talk to my partner who was sitting across from me. This doesn’t even begin to explain the service, or the quality of the food. As soon as we sat down, we were offered to order drinks, so we ordered two cokes. These cokes did not come until we were finished eating our dinner that we had ordered 10-20 minutes after. We ordered the Italian prawn hotpot (not sure if that’s the exact name), it cost close to $30 and it had 9, tiny prawns that were essentially flavourless, swimming in a sauce that tasted like canned tomato soup. I’m genuinely surprised that this place can get away with charging the prices it does without more backlash. Don’t waste your money, go literally anywhere else.
Long wait, minimal knowledge of gluten free, expensive for ordinary food.
Good food ! Staff slow at times to take order.
Food was amazing and the staff were great. Can’t wait to come back
Waited 50 minutes for drinks and over an hour for food. Asked for prawn pasta with no salami due to an allergy, but it came with salami. My husband is now ill. And the rest of the food was extremely average for the price. Will never return here!
Food was great!! Just the service gets very slow when the restaurant is busy.
The service was wonderful, our host she was so polite, the food was amazing especially our mains which were pork sqewer and the ribs and wings. The money was worth the food. And the environment was nice, clean and minimal noise. My only criticsm is that it would have been nice to be seated apart as we were sitring a little close in between 2 other diners and their tables and it was a little squashy for us. Apart from that amazing overall and thankyou.
Excellent food, really quick service although it wasn’t busy which is expected on a Monday night.
Great customer service, friendly staff. Time to wait for food wasn’t too long. It was an enjoyable dining experience.
Upon walking in it was very disorganized and staff were frazzled. I understand it was busy but was expecting a bit more order. Service was also slow. Perhaps it was an off night but the food was amazing so willing to try again.
Food was great, good value for money. They were understaffed which made it difficult to get staffs attention however they went above and beyond for my birthday.
The staff were friendly and the food was all very nice. This is our 3rd visit and again we will commend it to our friends.
The service was good and the food was delicious thanks
Great food. Service a little slow. In general not bad.
So many things to choose from in the menu. The restaurant did not have any toilets. That is the only thing that I can fault. Otherwise it was a great restaurant
Quality food and great atmosphere. Staff were consistently checking up on us even though the restaurant was so busy which was amazing.
Our overall visit was amazing, the restraunt was abit loud but I suppose you get that everywhere, the food was amazing but visiting crinitis is definately a one off thing cause it's a bit pricey!
Was do looking forward to my meal. Entree was delicious. But main was veal and it had been stewed in the sauce. Shame
My meal was really dry. I had the Veal. Overall the service was poor. Staff members had there other half waiting tell there shift was over. We waited and waited no one checked on our meals. We also had to go to the front of service to get the bill.
Friendly staff and so much variety. Really nice evening out
It was a great experience and food has improved immensely now on par with darling harbour
Food was great. Although service was slow. Even for a drink you waited at least 15 minutes. One of our meals was totally deleted and have to say they were more than accommodating bringing out an extra drink, while were we waiting, bringing out another entree, and also not charging for the meal.
My wife and I enjoyed our meal and would go back again.
Normally not one to complain. But the service was slow, the quality of food did not match the extravagant price tag, along with drinks that were extremely overpriced. Based on this experience I will not be returning or recommending to any of my friends.
Great Italian food, lovely setting in the cbd of Wollongong
Excellent service and food. Great portion size we could all share.
Very slow service. Expensive for what you get....meals are definitely too overpriced.
Friendly staff and very attentive. Kids loved it and food was great
Plates are big, portions are getting smaller. We have been eating at crinitis for years at darling harbour and there’s a definite difference at Wollongong . Waiting times are ridiculous even when the restaurant is half empty. Under staffed!
A regular customer, great food, efficient service, always very pleased
Shocking customer service, dirty lipstick stained glasses, wrong orders. Disappointing birthday dinner.
We had an early dinner so the noise and service was excellent, by the time we left, it was very noisy and you could see staff struggling to get everyone seated, take orders etc... we had an enjoyable experience and will be back.
Too many choices on the menu a little overwhelming Bruschetta platter had what resembled a piece of concrete on it ??? Would be better if extras came on the plate as we forgot to order them and ended up with a plate of meat and sauce Pumpkin gnocci was a bit floury Would say I was a little disappointed but will give it another go
Food perfect just waited a long time for bar and food service
Disappointing second visit. 2 of 4 dishes excellent but Spaghetti Marinara very poor with little seafood. Chorizo Hot Pot no where near as good as last visit. Also unexpectedly got hit with 10% Sunday surcharge.
