Just had dinner. Waiters were very friendly and polite and restaurnt had a nice feel. . Food was nicely portioned and tasted great. Highly recommend.
Great location, good menu, friendly service - happy to recommend, and will be back for sure. Nothing better than the peaceful views sitting outside by the water.
What a spectacular setting for this restaurant. Beautiful view Of Sydney harbour while eating incredible Italian food. The best pizzas and the antipasto plate was amazing
Pretty good but NOISY and the fennel salad had very little fennel in it but the calamari was delicious as usual. We were going to the theatre after dinner and were pleased to be served very quickly and efficiently
Great food with attentive service. We had the antipasto and meatballs for entree and were full already and asked for a half hour delay on the mains which was no problem. We had the pesto pasta and ragu pasta dishes which were tasty. Highly recommend but remember to book if there is a play on at the theatre across the road.
Our booking worked well and although the restaurant was very busy we soon placed orders. Our wine and water arrived quickly and soon we were sharing delicious antipasto and pizza. The reason for eating at Ventuno is location, authenticity to Italian cuisine and wines and closeness to theatre.
We have dined here on many occasions over the years. As always the food and location was excellent but today on my daughters 18th Birthday the service was below acceptable.
Great location. Mediocre food. Could be more flavourful. Risotto was bland. Pizza not much pizzazz. Needs a culinary reboot. At least they have a decent happy hour
Fabulous atmosphere . Very Mediterranean and relaxed . Delicious food and great pre theatre atmosphere .We shared an anti pasta, seafood pizza and yummy pasta . The Pinot Grigio was really good too.
Lovely, tasty & authentic Italian food that's reasonably priced. Sublime location on the water & especially handy if you're going to the theatre. Amazing service - fast, efficient & friendly. Will def go back.
the food was very good. We had great service at our table. The meal took a little longer than we would’ve liked as we had theatre reservations. We booked early for this reason but still waited longer than many tables. Still a really enjoyable lunch at a table with a great view
Excellent and friendly service. Very good Italian rose by the glass. The antipasto plate had high quality and varied produce. Excellent overall before the 1.00pm theatre across the road.
I have been to Ventuno a number of times and there has been consistently good food and excellent service. I was last there for lunch after graduation and they seated us in an excellent location on the water at the front of the venue.
We went for a pre-theatre meal. There were six of us. The service was efficient and friendly, the meal was very tasty and the price was reasonable. We will return.
Food was great but the service was a little disappointing! It took 10-15mins to be served after arriving by requesting a waiter and then another 15mins to get the bill! Prawn entree amazing and seafood spaghetti but the crab risotto hardly had any crab!
Excellent food and ambiance. The service was not entirely great with our main meal arriving cold but apart from that I would highly recommend this restaurant.
A restaurant opposite the theatre should be better able to cope with the pre-theatre crowd. Service was rushed (but charming), key elements of dishes were missing, and the pasta dishes were a little bland.
Went post theatre and enjoyed the experience - good food, nice ambiance, well priced but service not the best - new team and teething problems
Food & service were excellent. Super busy after the theatre, however, meals were on our table in 10 minutes. The kitchen must have this volume of orders down to a fine art. Great pizza. Friendly staff.
We (party of 4) dined pre-theatre and the restaurant was very full and incredibly noisy. Service was not good. They didn't get our drinks order right so had to send them back. We all ordered risotto. When it came they only brought 2 serves (which they gave to the men!) and we had to enquire about the remaining 2 which finally came. After all that, the risotto was somewhat underwhelming.
Great meal, lovely view. Service was quick. Will go again.
Awesome Food Great Service - Parking was a little difficult but it was definitely worth it!
Food was good. The service could have been more attentive. Although the restaurant wasn't full, the time selection for the dinner was very chosen.
Well located on the water front this Italian restaurant is very popular. Close to Wharf and Roslyn Packer Theatres. Friendly staff, extensive wine list, menu includes pizza, pasta and fish plus more. Our barramundi was delicious however parts were under cooked. Restaurant unhesitatingly replaced the dish which was cooked properly.
We dined pre-theatre and received great, prompt service. The food was delicious - the crab risotto was very flavoursome and the margherita pizza was tasty. Good value.
Terrific location on the water and near Sydney Theatre, featuring a traditional Italian menu. The selection isn't overcomplicated, and the value here is with honest meals. Staff are accommodating and attentive. I'd visit again, and probably for a special occasion.
Good Italian food in a nice location right on the water. Friendly service and a good place for a bite and chat over lunch or the evening.
Good choice of slightly unusual Italian fare. Delicious dishes at our table. The desert was imaginative using salted caramel and popcorn - yummy.Slow but then attentive service. I will certainly go there again.
Met for dinner Pre theatre Excellent venue sitting outside Great choice of share plates Great service Great wine list Great food I’ll go back Thankyou
The staffs were extremely friendly and attentive. We were there for celebration, and found the dishes very tasty and within a reasonable price. I would recommend anyone who’s looking for a special night to come here.
The food, service & atmosphere was great however we weren’t informed about a 10% Sunday surcharge! I think they need to tell clients about the extra payment.
Wonderful dish, lovely atmosphere and friendly attentive services! Perfect for celebration for two ladies. We had a great time there and would highly recommend anyone who are looking for a nice treat to this restaurant.
Always a great experience. Beautiful authentic pizza and great meat dishes. This is one of my favourite Sydney restaurants and yet again we had a great dining experience. Keep up the good work!
Fantastic. Cannot recommend more. Reasonable prices and a sensational view that genuinely is worth buying food just to see it. Will most definitely be going again
Beautiful location and atmosphere. Great service. Delicious food. Would recommend to our friends. We will definitely be back. Thanks for giving us an awesome table right on the water!
Wonderful food - calamari entree was beautiful and tender and the main course spaghetti pescatore was sensational. Service was good although at times it was hard to attract the waiter’s attention. Of course the location was fantastic, especially on a warm evening with all the doors open.
Great food, wonderful service and picturesque location! Highly recommended. The Spring lunch special was incredible value and I look forward to going again. Five stars!
A favourite place to go. The food is always outstanding, the menu not too long but always imaginatively Italian, the wait staff efficient and 100% Italian, and a great wine and aperitivo list. Three new additions today on the dessert menu - go the pineapple soaked in rum with vanilla gelato. A winner!
Great pizza, very friendly and attentive staff and a desert out of heaven. Amazing setting. We’ll definately be back for more amazing food at Venuto!
Food and wine were fine. We were just a little annoyed by the 'hard sell' of the main waiter. The lunch was a reunion of old friends and we wanted to take our time and enjoy the experience, but we felt the pressure a bit.
We enjoyed the experience at Ventuno very much, the service was excellent, the food great and as we were going to the theatre after the food was service in a timely matter.
Vanessa was bellisima pizza wine and salad great! Great view. Lovely vibe. Great for before or after the theater or on a sunny afternoon. There you go!
Always had excellent meals and service, the pizza we had tonight was fabulous. The view and ambiance is also first rate. Must return soon to experience happy hour.
I had the sausage/broccoli/garlic orecchiette pasta and a great grenache to go with it. Food was cooked just right and the service was excellent. To top it all, timing was perfect as well. Thank you!
View was great, food was great, and service was impeccable. Their choices of wine pair well with the Italian cuisine they serve. I would highly recommend taking a group of people whether it be for a corporate lunch or just with friend, you will have a delightful time.
good food - fast service - excellent option for pre show dinner in the Walsh Bay area. Recommend to make a booking though as it gets very busy!
The best Italian restaurant in Sydney hands down. Great views, exceptional food & the service was flawless. My fav thing was GF pizza base tasted exactly like a proper wood fired pizza base!
Very nice setting! Good food and much better than expected! Smooth and friendly service! Pricing was very reasonable and we did appreciate the wine selection by the glass. Will definitely be back!!
one of 3 tables on a Sunday night and had to continually flag down the staff to get service, yet were rushed to finish. Provided bread without plates to put it on. Plates started to be cleared before everyone had finished eating. Staff did not make us feel like we were welcome -- more like we were an imposition. Food was average, except the salade mista.
My favourite place for a long lunch with friends. Great food, excellent wine and friendly staff . A little piece of Italy , Ventuno never disappoints.
