Quick and efficient service for a pre-theatre dinner - in and out in an hour. And close to both the Rosalyn Packer and Wharf theatres.
Great staff, a really lovely ambience and delicious Italian food perfectly prepared. I’d go back any time. The only thing I would criticise are their chairs: : they are so uncomfortable and seem kind of stingy in such a great place.
We had a pre theatre dinner here and booked for an early start because of that. Our meals came at the same time as our pre dinner drink. We were pleasantly surprised that the service was so quick (too quick on this occasion). I had calamari which was lightly crumbed and delicately flavoured and a delicious salad. My partner had parpadelle with pork ragu and said it was perfect. We had plenty of time to drink the wine we had ordered to accompany the meal and plenty of time for some gelato for dessert.
Excellent food quick delivery Great service enjoyed very much Booked on line had some share plates Italian spoken by our waitresses and enjoyed a coffee after dinner
Exceptionally good food and very quick for a pre-theatre meal. The service is impeccable and the ambiance is warm. Highly recommended if you are seeing a show in the Roslyn Packer Theatre.
Nothing not to like. Great food, service, view & location. Best when with good friends. & their Diavola pizza is fantastic. A great place to go.
Great food. Great service. Great atmosphere. Love the authencity. I feel like I am eating dinner in Italy with those gorgeous Italian accents. A memorable 60th Birthday celebration. Many thanks.
Classic Italian food. Good service considering how busy they were. Nice vibe to the place even though it was a bit noisy. Will go again.
Overpriced, bland dinner for four. Service was fine, but no atmosphere on a Sunday. The pizzas looked better, but we all had pasta. Convenient location for Observatory and theatres.
The food was great, the staff were very attentive, nothing too much trouble. Perfect spot for a lazy weekend lunch. Happily go there more often.
Unfortunately overpriced & the standard of food has gone down over the years - pappadelli was luke warm and the pork was very average. Would not return or recommend - I should have let them know last night. Shame!
Beautiful food lovely service. We really enjoy the tranquility and would be more than happy to come back again and again. Awesome spot Recommended thumbs up
Good food in a great location, on a sunny day in Sydney it doesn't get much better than this. Will come back again for sure.
What a fabulous restaurant! Ventuno is in such a great location on the water but the best part is the amazing food, service & staff! Thank you Ventuno - you never disappoint!
Great restaurant, delicious food, nice ambience. Waiter was very attentive - love that everyone working here is Italian, it really added to the vibe. Great cocktails. Would def come again.
Very pleasant location and helpful staff. We arrived early and were welcomed in. Food was very good, particularly the ante-pasto (great cheese and olives). Good Italian wine list.
Great location down on the water. Service was excellent. The wait staff were all highly professional and knew their menu well. Food was lovely with a good variety of choice. Even though the restaurant was busy we were well attended to the whole time.
Excellent service, food and drinks - thank you for making my dad's birthday so memorable! We will definitely be back to visit you again soon.
The do od was great but the wait staff were not very attentive. The views would be good if you’re outside but unfortunately we weren’t.
Fabulous food, good gluten free options, very friendly service, fast delivery of food to table, good wine list & lovely view. Perfect for pre-theatre dinner. Would highly recommend.
Pleasant and fast service for our pre theatre dinner. Pasta delicious, nice selection of wines. Always a winner before a show, certainly will be back.
Magnificent setting, great Italian menu matched by speedy, efficient service. Great for before theatre dinning or leisurely lunch overlooking Sydney's magnificent harbour. A great all-rounder !!
Great atmosphere with speedy and polite service. The food and wine are very good value for money. A handy option for pre or post-theatre dining.
Beautiful Italian food, great menu, lovely harbour outlook and excellent service. We had an exceptional meal - everything was terrific. Would highly recommend Ventuno restaurant.
Very good place especially for Italian people with and without kids. Thanks guys all of you to be so awesome. I will return there sa soon I will go again to Sydney.
Both pasta dishes where cold and not big enough to share Centre of rice balls were cold Staff were very nice and helpfull It was cold and there were no heaters outside
Overall a fantastic dining experience. Very welcoming staff, excellent food and a great atmosphere. The speedy service was ideal for a pre-show meal. Ventuno won’t disappoint.
Always great service, a go-to for easy working or casual lunch. Great pizza and rosé!
Lovely staff, great spot in the water and opportunities for people watching
Food & service was great, have been back many times
A great after theatre venue. The location is very convenient, the food is authentic Italian and full of fresh flavours. Service is prompt and friendly.
Courteous, efficient, prompt post- theatre service for a largish party of 8 people. Pizza al diavolo is always delicious. Also good to find ‘white’ pizzas on a menu for those who can’t handle tomato.
Quick and friendly service, quite good Italian food and prices weren't overly expensive given the location. Ventuno is a good choice for pre theatre fare.
Lovely service and beautiful food. Nice handy location for Roslyn Packer Theatre and Sydney Theatre company. Very authentic tasting Italian dishes. Would definitely recommend this restaurant.
Great, authentic pizza and pretty good wine to boot! We always love coming here before a show. A great pre-show meal that never disappoints :)
The service was average - a little arrogant. The food was good but not great - the pasta main was surprisingly lacking in flavour. Overall disappointing
Great location, excellent pizza, decent wine list; rustic outside tables, industrial chic on the inside
Prompt service, excellent food, lovely spot close to theatres with plenty of parking nearby. A great selection of wines, as well, including some Italian varieties.
Food was fantastic and appropriately priced. Service was wonderful - lovely and attentive staff. The atmosphere was great - not too loud or cramped, very comfortable. Will return!
Our wine order was incorrect, our main meal came out when we were in the middle of our entrée .... Staff were amazing as always but the overall experience we very poor.
It was a nice pre theatre dining experience as we had limited time we should have mentioned we had a play as the food needed to be served faster.
Very close to the STC. Great atmosphere and delicious food. Service is good and pricing is reasonable. Summer is also lovely as the doors are opened and you can sit outside on the wharf.
The staff were really helpful. They knew we were going to the theatre and made sure our meals arrived quickly. The food was delicious and we will certainly go there again.
Delicious, fresh food, tonight's Risotto - Gorgonzola and Walnut was amazing. Welcoming, friendly and helpful staff, perfect for pre theatre dining or for any occasion.
The venue and service is very good, but it was cold! Had to keep our coats in even though we were inside. The food was excellent.
Great location for pre-theatre dinner. Staff were very nice and fantastic authentic Italian food, loved the meatballs. Knew we were going to the theatre and made sure our food came in perfect time, giving us time to enjoy our meal but getting us out the door in good time to walk over the road. Highly recommend.
Great food, friendly service and close to theatres. Early seating geared up towards prompt pre theatre meal service. Have been before and will go again.
I had made a reservation and I arrived about 10 minutes early. The friend I was dining with had already arrived as she told me by text. I went to the desk to check in. There was confusion and I was told to wait. I insisted that I had a reservation and my friend was already there. Eventually my reservation was found and I was told to go and find my table where my friend was seated 'over there near the wall'. This was not the smooth operation I am used to at Ventuno. I wondered if the management had changed. All the wait staff were female which was different from usual. The service was swift and the food was as good as usual.
Very nice food and light attentive service! We were very happy with all aspects of our experience and would recommend. Nice to look at the passing joggers while we tucked into our food!
Everything about the meal is great from the Bellini to start and the Murray rock salt and rosemary bread, to the pasta to the amazing chocolate icecream ball with hot caramel sauce. The whole package.
