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

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.

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!

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.

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. 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.

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.

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!

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

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.
