Ventuno Restaurant

The restaurant, location and staff are very nice and it is definitely worth a visit. if you like Italian cuisine it is authentic and honest. The entree platters are the best!

10 of us had a great meal of antipasto, pizza, pasta and salad before seeing Muriel's Wedding. Excellent service and professional staff. Booked an outside table weeks prior and the view is fabulous. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Great setting, staff friendly and efficient and food was good and quite well priced. We will certainly be back. Because of its position, it is ideal for an early dinner before the theatre opposite at the STC .

Amazing food and service, even while it was extremely busy. We've always book our work lunches there as everyone loves it. We would definitely recommend.

We all enjoyed our meal. A table of 8 went for a pre theatre dinner. We were all served quickly and remarked favourably on the food.

Awesome view and amazing food. Service was ok, not great, not sure if they were just busy due to Christmas season. Will be going back :)

Wonderful food, scenic peaceful ambiance, efficient friendly service, good value, Italian in every way... even the accents! Will definitely return, surely will become a favourite.

We really enjoy the food the service and place,the lady from overseas really enjoyed every minute of it She told us ,I will come in this restaurant again and the was good for us too Keep up th good work

Always a pleasure to visit Ventuno - lovely Italian food, friendly welcoming staff and perfect relaxing waterside location. Hard to beat for a sunny Sunday afternoon.

Our party of 6 enjoyed dinner here before the theatre. It was terrific, food and service excellent. A pleasant surprise considering its off the beaten track and has a captive audience of theatre goers (excuse the pun). Would happily return even when not going to theatre.

Friendly service and great food. Good choices of meals and drinks to appeal to everyone's palette. Great location with vistas of the harbour and outdoor dining available.

Authentic Italian food and great atmosphere Must try Italian wines - good value Perfect place for lunch with team on a sunny day Highly recommend to others and I'll visit again

Great food, service and view! Our enquiry about Nut Free foods on the menu was clear, concise and helpful! We had a lovely lunch, as always!

The food here is excellent. Without a doubt the best pizza in the city. The view is beautiful and the service is top notch. A great selection of wines and desserts as well. We had a wonderful lunch here, would recommend to anyone.

Great location with water views. Very handy for pre theatre dining. Genuine Italian restaurant. The hazelnut gelato is the best I’ve ever tasted. Will definitely return.

Always a fantastic experience. Pizza and fish of the day were incredibly. Fresh ingredients, great wine. Above all else the beautiful ambience and view. Well done again Ventunos.

Good menu , excellent service .... the only drawback was having to book through Quando which was a nightmare . Surely there is a better way .

We enjoyed a shared antipasto and a pizza prior to theatre. We enjoyed both...simple antipasto... olives salami manchego and pizza bread. Our pizza was lovely...great crust. It was very enjoyable with prompt, friendly service.

The food was good, the staff were great. Sadly the inside environment was over-crowded, tables too close together and it was so noisy dinner table conversations were loud and not relaxed.

Ventuno is a great place to dine. Being on the Walsh Bay waterfront, it has a terrific view, ambience as well as great service. We always return for the pizzas.

Fantastic restaurant. Food was beautiful. Good portions, great atmosphere and nice waterviews, staff friendly and have great customer service. Will be back again in the near future!

I love this place. The service is always excellent and the food is brilliant traditional Italian fair. The wine list is great and the Affogato to finish is the bomb!

The food was great the service was mediocre. Sure it was the pre show rush but poorly staffed or staff not allocated to tables and was a strain to actually order. One drink was ordered twice and never showed up.

Service was a little slow, however great food, great location and overall really enjoyable. Perfect for entertaining clients or have a nice lunch with friends.

My boyfriend and I shared an antipasto Italiano platter accompanied by a bottle of the 2016 Nardone Falanghina. For the main course we had the spaghetti pescatora and the scotch fillet - service was excellent and all dishes were lovely. Outside table in the summer is highly recommended and the service was great.

Great location, friendly and efficient service, reasonable choices in the menu and food at a quality which matched the prices. I have been here several times in the past and I will continue to come here.

True Italian We had a great experience especially the orrechieti with broccoli it was sensational and my sons had rigatoni in tomato salsa great as well , nice pizza , arancini and great dessert . We will come back very soon!

We enjoy going to Ventuno Restaurant before attending the Sydney Theatre Company's producton for the evening. They make sure that we get our meals early and are not late for the theatre.

the best restaurant in sydney we try and go there a couple a times a year the food amazing and the team the re are amazing we love the place kim and wayne hodges of wollongong

While the food, atmosphere, and waitress were fantastic. Service was a little slow & we had booked an early table. We will go back again.

We have visited this restaurant a few times and last night we were quite disappointed, in fact one of out party of our said he wouldn't go back! This was a pre-theatre meal so do not require a fine dining experience but we thought the menu was quite limited, very few pasta dishes and some of the meals were a bit "average". The restaurant was very busy but they coped with the high volume of diners.

A little disappointed in tbe lack of flexibility to change dishes just a little to suit. E.g. add prawns or leave something off. Endef up having a rice dish tbat i wasnt completely happy with.

View was great, service and food was quick to arrive. Only issue the calamari were mainly fried batter and the 'patatine' were supposed come out with rosemary and olives. It had no rosemary and only a few olives at the bottom of the bowl. Gluten free pizza is store bought.

What a spot for a lazy lunch on a sunny spring afternoon! Right on the water at Walsh Bay, away from the craziness of the Quay. Very relaxed Italian vibe with friendly, knowledgeable staff. We started with the melt-in-the-mouth tuna carpaccio with mixed citrus and the Caprese salad. Instead of the usual buffalo mozzarella, they used stracciatella di bufala with the consistency of a natural yoghurt. Outstanding, and even better to mop up with the crusty pane al forno! My wife had the spaghetti pescatore - brimming with fresh seafood and, as an Italian, she gave the al dente pasta the big thumbs up. Instead of my usual meaty option, I went for the orecchiette pasta with broccoli, anchovies, and garlic, served with a red-hot chili oil on the side. If broccoli tasted this good when I was a kid I would have taken it to school for lunch! The servings were generous and as much as we wanted to, we had to resist the recommended zucchini flowers with ricotta and pumpkin. Dammit. There was a bit of room left, so we shared the rich, creamy, boozy tiramisu with some great espressos. The wine list was small, with some interesting lesser-known Italian offerings and one or two local drops. We went with the Sicilian chardonnay and it was beauty. We'll be back with a bunch of friends to try the antipasti platters as they look outstanding. Grazie, Ventuno!!

Great venue by the water. Great food and great service. The perfect place for an evening with friends or family. Spaghetti with seafood was excellent

Gorgeous food with the view to go with it! Daniela our waitress was fantastic. Looking forward to the next time. The Penelope cocktail is a must!

Delicious cocktails (particularly the Vanilla and Passionfruit one), really nice setting, good ambiance, great view, great service and good food. Will be back for sure.

service too quick, courses stacked on our table. kebabs overcooked, very dry. waiters were buzzing around, felt like they wanted a quick turn around. might go back.

This restaurant is always reliable for great food, great service and a great position. Have been to this restaurant many times and always loved it as always consistently good.

I thought Monday nights were the best for service, as they are quieter than weekends. This was not the case. Waitresses kept running away as soon as they put the food down. No spoon for spaghetti, no milk for the coffee, red wine instead of white.

Great view, lovely restaurant, food was delicious and staff were friendly and attentive. Great for pre theatre dinner too. I would highly recommend this place.

Good service and menu options for kids and vegetarians. Friendly helpful staff. Good setting and outlook. Easy to park. Overall a very good dining experience

Nice restaurant good food gorgeous view .. dined with a baby which was as painless as it could be! Waitstaff were attentive without being obtrusive, and I pre ordered a high chair with no issues. Will be back!

Good range of menu options, speedy and pleasant service, and delicious dishes. Especially enjoyed the gnocchi and the caprese salad. The glutin free pizza was rated very good.

Superb, sheltered water views, interesting location, good service from friendly waiters, and simple, beautiful, authentic Italian food. Sit outside if you can get a table. Highly recommended

The atmosphere was outstanding as well as the view. The antipasto entrees were delicious as well as the mains. The waiters were very accommodating too

Service fantastic as always, entree platters are great to share

This is a great Restaurant. Food is always good. Great outlook. Very relaxed environment. Unpretentious. Staff are friendly and very attentive. Will continue to go back again and again.

Always a fantastic experience whenever we come back to this old favourite. The food is excellent and the wine selection includes an interesting mix of both local and Italian options.

The staff were wonderfully courteous and cooperative - even letting us move to another table inside when the wind made it too cold to be outside. Their service was attentive and helpful and the food was excellent.
