Comments of Baia The Italian
J. W.
A generously portioned meal and a delightful service. Diego, thank you for the suggestions on the order for food to come out, as well as what wine could pair with the dishes which we have ordered. Your attention to detail made our stay very memory, and the chef helping to prepare the birthday surprise with fresh servings of fruits was the icing on the cake, please pass on our thanks.
Overall a truly delightful evening indeed.
L. G.
I loved the atmosphere here, dined here visited last night.
Ordered the brucietta as entre
Seafood pizza and beef ragu as mains
The staff was very lovely and service at table was outstanding.
Dinner in general was very tasty and heart warming.
Seated outside so the only downside to eating here over the weekend is the music from next door was overpowering so it made it hard to have a chat at the dinner table otherwise the menu and food is good I would definitely come back and thank you to the staff for being so lovely.
T. E.
Amazing food and ambience. If in Sydney you should try the duck ravioli 😋 absolutely divine and exceptional wait staff . Thankyou to Matti for making our dining experience pleasurable. 5☆
J. C.
Perfect, fresh tasty food. Brilliant staff. This place is a “must do” location.Worth it!
E. V.
Excellent food, excellent and very friendly staff. 10/10. Really enjoyable place.
S.
Good food for fair prices. Really good fries and pizza. Great location. 3 stars only because we felt the host was a little unwelcoming and did not accommodate our request for a bigger table although the place was filled just at around 1/4th capacity. We had to pile up all the plates on the table which was very annoying. Blocked out the entire positive food experience.
D. L.
Nice atmosphere and very good service that was very attentive. The 6 main meals ordered came out very staggered with lasagne, pasta and Hawaiian coming out first, then steak 5 min later, then 10min later the margarita pizza which seems to have been forgotten and shared sweet potato fries that were definitely forgotten as they arrived when we finished eating. The lasagna came out Luke warm, the pasta was hot and the Hawaiian had no ham or pineapple, the steak was room temperature and the late margarita was hot. I asked about the Hawaiian not having ham and pineapple and the waiter said he will find out but never returned . Expected a lot more especially as I had been there previously and it was a good place to eat. It should also be noted that the restaurant was very quiet.
p. C.
Great views and entrees mains pastas salads where Great really good
BUT 1 pizza x 3 was terrible my goodness what where they thinking the pizza was dry not cooked the rocket and prosciutto was fresh pastry I don’t understand at $80: a head plus drinks. please all they said was really muma Mia please bring another pizza then there tap beer ran out of gas $80. A head 3 star
D. M.
For a mid-week venue for lunch, this place is a good deal. $22 for a meal, wine and hot drink is an absolute steal for a restaurant with the perfect view of Darling Harbour. Service was good, food was okay so the winner is definitely the price. Just like the other restaurants around the harbour, there is a serious issue with aggressive sea gulls which will swoop and take food straight from your plate
C. F.
I had dinner in this place a year ago and I came back on the weekend.
On my previous review I was complaining about the portions, too small. Now are definitely bigger.
Last year rice seemed not enough cooked and this time was right. Bread with cheese is as good as it was. I ordered gnocchi the time before and this time calzone pizza, filled with cheese, double smoked ham, semidried tomato, spinach and pesto; it was pretty good.
What disappointed me was the arancini, I didn’t like the sauce and the combination of flavours; they were not traditional arancini.
Service was terrible! They forgot our drinks, they kept dropping things around, they didn’t pay attention to us when we were calling them and even if they kept walking close to us. The only one who was working good close to our table was a waitress who looked like a manager. And I don’t understand why they don’t leave a jug with water on each table! It was so annoying keep calling them every time our glasses were empty. They are too busy and messy to have the control of all the glasses on the tables.
A good thing in this restaurant is the view on Darling Harbour, but the place is very noisy. And because it was Saturday night we enjoyed the fireworks they make every week on the water. It can be romantic without all of those people and tourists.
L. A.
Nice relaxing environment by the Cockle Bay. Took a table overseeing the bay, watching all kinds of people passing by and enjoying the sea breeze in the midst of a day couldn't be better life. Ordered a set lunch costing only $22 for a 200g beef steak with fried sweet potatoes including a beer / soft drink was a good deal. The food quality was very good.
Staff provided attentive services and friendly. I would definitely recommend this restaurant for a try.
P. S.
It was a last minute booking but was indeed a great experience on a friday night! The food was awesome. I chose for vegetarian entree and mains plus the desert as part of the combo deal for 35$. The food was great and the service was extraordinarily. For my entree, I had minestrone soup and pizza for the mains., both the dishes were high quality and so was the desert. My friends also enjoyed their prawn dish. Overall food,ambience quality,location and the experience was 5 star. Would love to go there being a local but Great spot for tourists!

Baia The Italian has reopened after a long hiatus and now that it is, we’re sure you’ll be impressed when you make your visit.
It is a waterfront venue, located on the promenade of Cockle Bay wharf and is suitable for many events, whether it be a lunch with friends, date night, family dinner or even a work event. On our Saturday evening visit, the demographics were very widespread.
This Italian restaurant draws influence from around Italy and has been curated by a quality chef team who produce high quality food. Their menu has a fresh range of entrees, mains (including pizza, pasta and proteins) and desserts.
For entrees, our choice, the beautiful plate of perfectly grilled octopus salad was arranged atop some spicy roasted watermelon (not entirely needed for the octopus is the star), with a toasted almond emulsion and sorrel. We also had some garlic pizza. Other options include bruschetta, croquettes, pork puffs and burrata to name a few.
For our mains, the squid ink pasta was an order right out of left field for us, not something we normally order, but it stood out as a favourite and we’re so glad. The pasta was incredible! Their Squid Ink Spaghetti Frutti di Mare was filled with fresh masked seafood including octopus, fish, prawns, mussels and seasoned with extra virgin olive oil, basil, parsley and Napolitana Sauce. Such a tasty sauce and packed with seafood! This is thoroughly recommended.
Their Black Angus Tagliata was a 150 day grain fed steak cooked to order - medium for us, served atop beautifully caramelised leeks and a horseradish jus with shaved Parmesan. Such a decent serving that we didn’t need sides, but if you do, there’s fries, chat potatoes, salads and veggies.
If you’re up for a dessert as well, Baia also has your favourite Italian desserts from Nutella pizza, to Pannacotta, or a chocolate torta, and even a cheese plate to pair perfectly with your wine.
The wine list here is extensive. We opted for a cab sav, but you’ll find plenty to choose from, in addition to spirits, beer, cider and cocktails.
The atmosphere was casual, quite busy on a Saturday night. The staff were super helpful and welcoming, especially our main waiter Caesar.
Note - Baia are now accepting Service NSW Dine and Discover vouchers.
So make your way to Cockle Bay Wharf for an excellent all round experience.
N. N.
Went there twice for lunch and dinner another time. We had nice foods there surrounded by harbourside view. Great customer service as well. I don’t remember the waitstaff name but I know he was very warm and lovely greeting and seating us.
Pretty good deal 💙
M. Z.
We came on a Wednesday night before Valentine's day. Food was nice, we had mushroom aracini ball, salt and pepper calamari, whole snapper and a prosciutto pizza. The prosciutto on the pizza wasn't cooked at all when brought out, so we asked if they can bake it further until the prosciutto is fully cooked as I'm pregnant. The waitress went away and shortly after that the manager came. He offered for us to choose a different pizza as he said the prosciutto won't be nice once cooked. Wow, really appreciate the nice gesture. The waitress don't top up water much though, other than that we had a great dining experience.
S. S.
One of the good Italian places around. Food service was a little slow but fairly good. Pasta was a little disappointing since the taste felt like a ready made dish but the quantity was way too much! Dessert was yummy and would recommend.
A. B.
great service. amazing food
K. K.
The service was good albeit a little slow, the staff were friendly and helpful. The salmon was excellent but the baby octopus wa chewy and bland. There's wheelchair accessible entrance via the beginning of the row of restaurants. Next time we'll try the lunchtime specials for $20 , they look to be great value
C. Y.
We had a delicious lunch here, the vibe was really chilled even though the restaurant is in the middle of the tourist area at Darling Harbour. Ordered mussels to start, then seafood pasta and barramundi for mains. Everything was cooked to perfection and really tasty!! The tomato sauce in the pasta was authentic and flavoursome, better than some places I've eaten at in Italy. Lots of different seafood included in the dish as you can see from the photo. The fish portion was quite big and with lots of bacon on top, can't beat that combo. Mussels were done just right with an epic tomato sauce similar to the pasta. All generous portions. We got attentive service and the mocktails were great too. Highly recommended!
T. Z.
We had our Christmas party here. Not too expensive considering location and more than sufficient space. Not full-whether proof where we stayed. Food was good and service was warm.
R. Y.
Great views. Great creamy fettuccine, good prosciutto pizza.
The tiramisu was not bad.
Service is not the slowest, but you'll have to attract one of the two waiter(ess)(e)s while competing with 15 other diners. Good luck.
V. c. C.
The gnocchi was delicious but the fries were simple. The banana colada was very good. The prices are a little expensive so if you can get a discount on The Fork, it is much better. Ps. I have only one complaint, we arrived and we wanted to have a dinner and the receptionist told us we had to wait one hour because we didn't have a booking, but then we asked again (someone else) and they let us in. That girl was not well-trained. Cheers from Peru.
s. s.
It's a nice harbour side restaurant with good variety of dishes. The mains are decent but the deserts were a bit pricey and slightly too sweet. Overall a good dining option for a relaxed lunch or dinner.
M. V.
I don't understand why so many reviews of Baia are bad. This is a great place! Have been here twice for lunch. Excellent food (plus very good wine and coffee) for just $20. Servers are friendly, atmosphere is lovely, and so is the view (and the location itself). I am a bit of a food snob but this was very good!
C. A.
Went here for dinner with a good friend and we both had pasta. The dish sizes were huge and the food was so flavorful and tasty. The service was fast and the staff were very happy and super helpful. It was a Sunday evening so it wasn't too busy. #LetsGuide #Sydneyfood #Sydneybars #Sydney #Australia
V. S.
This place is located one of famous for tourists, nice atmosphere and fancy to enjoy dating as a couple. Live music is really cool. Nothing exciting flavour but not bad, around $90+ for dinner( shared entree and main for 2) and couple if glass of wine.
2warm heaters installed outside seats, cosy inside interior.
C. a. M.
We were gifted a Scoopon voucher for Baia and must say, the venue is always spectacular. You can have a glimpse of the sun setting by the water. Quite romantic I’d say! We saw a great “sunset menu” deal at $35 per person - it included a starter, main and dessert. However we couldn’t use that with the Scoopon. Instead we ordered a Spaghetti Bolognese & a pizza to share.
J.
The service here is honestly amazing. There’s always this one waiter who is always working there especially during the day time, he is just so amazing. So cheerful and really goes out of his way to attend to customers. Food is pretty good too. Amazing drinks !!
K. C.
Very nice italian place close to darling harbour, sealife aquarium and madame tussaud. Try their lunch special where they offer: wine,meal and coffee. The place is decorated in a very nice way! Check out the pictures for more
S. D.
No one is at the reception to welcome guests. Let us wait to be seated and no one came to us in about 10 mins, while they weren't that busy at all! Food is yummy, waiting time for food is reasonable as well.
S. L.
Great Italian food. Set menu for a work function, staff were efficient and courteous. You must enjoy the atmosphere of Darling Harbour to really have the whole experience come together. Couldn't fault the food, will be on the list to return
D. S.
Baia offers a sunset menu, for $35 you get a beer or wine, entree, main and dessert off a set menu. And to top it all off you get a great view of darling harbor, it is hard to beat that value. The food is good quality and good serving sizes. If you are there for happy hour make sure you grab a mojito, top quality cocktail!
F. S.
Nice place! Got a table overlooking cockel bay! Friendly staff! Tasty food had the sunset menu , lamb for main dish! Tasty , melts in your mouth! Friendly staff! Highly recommended!
I. S.
Fantastic venue! Right next to the harbour. Chef's are fantastic - never had a bad meal. Bar tenders make some strong but great tasting drinks. Wait staff make sure our experience runs smoothly.
R. E. c.
Had lunch hear with family was great atmosphere and we all enjoyed there lunch special .
Food was delicious and great value especially for location.
The staff where nice but service was a lacking follow up and seemed now well organised at times .
Overall a great place to stop by for lunch or dink’s definitely wouldn’t regret it .
J. W.
Requested for a bespoke order - Spaghetti Chicken Alfredo - and it was done PERFECTLY, just like how it would usually taste in the USA!! Their Veal & Pork Meatballs however is easily the worst meatballs I've ever had as the flavor was bland with a texture that felt super fake!! Nevertheless, a real gem of a restaurant with great service and a beautiful waterfront view.
M. I.
The best Italian food with great customer service ❤️❤️❤️
R. A. A.
Always full pack on weekends, need booking. A good spot to watch Vivid fireworks whilst savouring the classic Italian dishes. Great service, restaurant staff are lovely and polite. De Mari pizza a must try! We had Creamy fettuccine with smoke chicken, grain fed sirloin, grilled barramundi and loveee its crispy skin!🤪 If you love ginger, try their Detox mocktail too! So refreshing!🍹
A. D.
The Sunset menu is good value for money. Our party of 6 were very happy with the dishes we ordered and happy hour cocktails were an added bonus prior to our meal.
G. A.
Went here for work lunch few days ago. Food was good (we had banquet) and great collection of wine. Only problem was the seagulls attacking food as we were sitting outside.
N. E.
Nice location at Darling Harbour, the table was quite small and the chairs was not comfortable. The food was nice, however it is on the expensive side. The Kilpatrick oysters was cooked nice, the medium rare steak was juicy with crispy sweet potatoes on the side. Portobello mushroom was the hero of the dish as no sauce was provided for the steak. The octopus was interesting but too much olives and alot of sauce in the dish.
C. M.
Very delicious food, price is on par for the area. View and atmosphere are also great. The staff are always quite nice and attentive as well.
C. I.
Absolutely amazing service and beautifully served cuisine! Would highly recommend for an evening on the water.
J. M.
The place, food and atmosphere is ok in overall to share with a group of friends or your family. Some of the staff are friendly and helpful. However, you have to check carefully when you receive your bill due to they try to avoid on applying the discounts or promotional vouchers if you have any. Just check very well before you pay.
J. C.
Went for dinner with friends and we all had the $35 sunset menu available between 5pm-7pm which was an amazing value that included a drink, entree, main and dessert. Everything was delicious.
h. S.
Convenient spot for dinner with nice view of the harbour. Food served fairly quickly and the portions were ok in size. This restaurant is very close to pontoon club so can get a bit noisy after 9pm..ordered entree salt and pepper calamari and garlic prawns with Roma tomatoes will fill.
J. S.
Bought the Groupon deal for the $39 two people meal.we ordered garlic bread, two pizza and swapped wine into soft drinks. Very nice food and customer service was excellent!
G. C.
Excellent service, a well considered wine list, and some delicious food, especially the duck prosciutto, scallops and salmon gravalax..
Also try the Il Dominatore cocktail very good, nice place to relax in the afternoon and early evenings at darling Harbour with he sun streaming in.... 3 hour happy hour with two for one drinks (self service for this deal) and good deals if on a tight budget. But also a great menu and wine list if you want to splurge....Highly recommended
M.
Awesome lunch special $22 for main meal, alcohol beverage and a warm beverage.
Great views, beautiful interior and wonderful Italian food.
C. X.
I had the fish of day - it is not very fresh taste.
Duck was also taste average.
Very busy because of the 50% off fork deal.
L. T.
Food wasn't hot when we got them. Spag bol was very salty and arancini was just warm. Very large portion of sweet potato fries though.
L. M.
Lovely and friendly staff, good food. The cheesy garlic bread was a bit expensive, but very tasty. The drinks were gorgeous; we thoroughly enjoyed their lemon, lime and bitters. Good food - I had the lamb and my partner had a pizza. My only gripe is that they didn't offer containers to take our leftovers home (we had half a pizza left).
Would go back - loved their lunch special.
H.
Their 2 for 1 drink special and $35 three course meal with drink is a great deal! The meals were enjoyable and the view over the harbour lovely.
Y. S. W.
Nice ambience and the food is quite good. friendly staff and wonderful water view. We had the Sunset Set menu. $35 for 3 course meal and a drink is super bargain.
E. G.
Excellent experience. The portions are generous, and the meals do very tasty. Great service at reasonable price. Good atmosphere too.
J. L.
Nice view and service from the staff. However, the food quality was a disappointment with both the steak and baby octopus we ordered lukewarm and tasteless. Felt like it was precooked much earlier and they have just warmed it up.
C. C.
I would loved to leave a 5 stars review because of the lovely waiters there... unfortunately, I'm now struggling to leave a 3 stars because they don't deserve it.
1. the service is extremely slow :(
2. The dish that i ordered (crab risotto) is very bland :'(
I'm not sure if I'll ever go back to them again but all the best
V. P.
Tasty food. Good value lunch menu. Amazing cocktails + the friendly guy who made them was great!
P.
Amazing view, amazing food, amazing and funny staff and not too expensive if you choose the Sunset menu (5pm-7pm) which is one entree, one main and one dessert with a beer wine or drink for 35 dollars which is amazing.
K. H.
Friendly service and nice atmosphere. I had dinner with colleagues around 6pm and it was happy hour when you purchase alcohol at the bar you get 2 for just one price. Great value.
I had vegetarian pizza it was great, we will be back soon!
J. J.
On a weekday afternoon, if you crave for a good pasta/pizza, this is the place to go. Ohh you get a bonus harbour view !
We tried the lunch deal. Pizza/pasta, wine and a coffee for $20. Totally worth it, I would say. Especially for a lunch in one of those fancy Darling Harbour restaurants. The meatballs were succulent and the sauce matched it perfectly. Prawn linguini had a good flavour of prawns (I would have loved a little more punch). Paired with the complimentary white wine of the month, I would call it a refreshing lunch. A proper Italian coffee to finish with, what else would you ask for.
Overall, great lunch !
G. D.
We had a group of 10 which they fitted easily. Happy hour drinks till 7pm on this Tuesday. Booked via TheFork which provided a discount on the meals. Great cured meat starter followed by a nice spaghetti marinara.
Staff we super helpful and attentive.
J. Y.
Had lunch with colleagues here. The food was pretty good, but they were a bit short staffed so it took 2 minutes before we could get a waitress attention to make order. The person bringing the food out was also quite careless, having accidentally dropping a chicken nugget from a kid's meal but not apologising about it or refilling the kids plate. We asked for a half n half pizza which they were amenable to. Overall a decent experience and good vibes but definitely need to hire more people to meet the rush hour demand.
C. S.
Good food and great value lunch specials with nice meals and a glass of wine to match. Pleasant harbourside setting although quite warm on a hot day!
Tasty dishes and good service, great value option.
S. A.
Nice food and perfect location. A great deal before 7pm with their sunset deal was a nice dinner and much enjoyed.
J. S.
Great wine selection, view and food - always impressed with the great service; the seafood pizza is exceptional
K. N.
The garlic bread is good. Bolognese and the pizzas are decent except the seafood pizza which is too fishy to my taste
K. O.
Excellent cocktails at a good price during happy hour. Glasses of house wine included in 2 for 1 offer.
H. &. F.
Food is always delicious. Pizza is fresh and not soggy. Their only let down is the service. Had to ask twice for another glass of wine then when I’d finally given up on it, it arrived. The waiters seem to forget and are slow to take your order or clean tables. Panna cotta dessert was delicious
K. C.
Visited this restaurant twice within a week. Was so impressed by the prawn chilli pasta and the mushroom risotto that we decided to bring more of the family to try eat here. Hands down still the best mushroom risotto I have ever had, make sure you try it! Both times we are here, we opted to dine outside to enjoy the views and to people watch. Next time we will try eating inside as the interior design and furniture of the Resto are actually really nice and cosy.
K. C.
The lunch specials are good value and the Italian beer was great. They have a happy hour at the bar. It is a good place to sit & watch the view. They also have a large wine list to choose from. I think I will come back again on a quiet afternoon to try some of the better menu choices.
L. P.
Excellent cocktails! Amazing food! Great service! We will be back!!!!
J.
The atmosphere and the location is great.
We had the Margherita pizza which was good but the Penne Siciliana was bland and very average.
Unfortunately the service was lacking as we waited for a good 15 mins for serviettes.
D. B.
Happy hour 2 for 1 from 4 till 6 well worth it. Good value meal deals too
S. R.
Lunch special and two for one happy hour is great. Fantastic atmosphere and great decor. Lamb and mojitos were delicious!
R. M.
This restaurant is great... especially for those looking for gluten-free Italian food. The staff is really nice and helpful....I can really recommend it because the prices are reasonable too.
M. E.
Great venue and food. Full of beautiful decorations
K. X. Z.
Good atmosphere. Went for lunch. Food was average, but staff are friendly. Good views, next to the harbour.
R. B.
Their Sunset Special is great value for money. The food was superb, the chairs were super comfy and even pouring with rain the view was lovely.
F. A.
Good food, Generous serving and good customer service.
U.
This is the second time I have been here, and the food is truly amazing, full of flavour, well portioned but above all the staff are friendly and provided incredible service. The chef catered for my intolerances and the General Manager was exceptional, he looked after us the whole time and ensured that we had an amazing experience. My friend was in Sydney for his 40th and it was definitely a beautiful night. Thank you to Angus for his efficiency and honesty, to Callum for his graciousness and genuine smile, and to Markus above all, for his initiative, professionalism, customer centric approach and sincerity in making it a truly memorable night ☺️what an amazing restaurant, incredible view, divine food and exceptional service. Highly recommended.
l. s.
Really wonderful. Great food and service! Thank you, Baia!!
N. J.
Amazing value set menu $35 3 course with a drink
T. W.
Really good meal, a bit pricy but food is high quality. Had the seafood pizza, crust was crispy and sauce was filling.
S. L.
Its a good location and the sunset menu is very cheap, but the service is very slow.
A. S.
What a beautiful night! Wonderful service and hospitality by Deborah and the whole team. Thanks for making our night special with the love showered and food served..
L. J.
Nice lunch menu, staff was very attendant, kept topping up our water, didn't rate the pork and veal meatballs, but the fish was excellent. Nice location and vibrant.
B. M. (. M.
I've been there a few times this year and they have been one of the best around the harbour. Great service and food.

Great value dinner. Highly recommend tbe set menu which inc a drink.
V. L.
I ate at Baia with 9 friends 2 weeks ago.
We had lovely crusty bread and olive oil for starters.
My vegetarian lasagne was disappointing.
I have never seen lasagne with so many sheets of pasta that they appeared stuck together and tiny and scarce little bits of vegetables with a small amount of tomato sauce. Way too many carbs especially as the serving was quite large!! My husband was happy with his parpadelle ragu
The pizzas had a perfect rounded and pale edge, not one bit of charred puffiness, looked a bit undercooked.
Several people remarked they thought the food was a little salty.
The service was great.
R. G. W.
Was catching up with an old Client a 50% reduction in the food bill was offered and the food provided was fresh and tasty and service was very efficient and with a smile nothing we asked for was too much trouble highly recommended
K. L.
Food was ok, not the best & not the worst, service can be a bit better.
M. W.
One of the greatest places to go out . I was very pleased with food, drink and service. And location is just to the harbour.
M.
I had prawns and mussels and it was delicious! Sfaff are very attentive to your needs. Well done Baia!
N.
This place is simply amazing, from staff service and friendliness through to the food and serving size. Every menu item we have tried has been great and so tasty. The prices are to be expected for the area and not over the top. The choice of drinks was good and the cocktails were also amazing. Will definitely be heading there again.
C. Y.
Very good food, for the location and quality not too pricey either. Gulls are cheeky tho!
K. S.
We had an amazing lunch today which says a lot when you take 4 kids with you. The food was amazing, the service was top notch and the manager was so accomodating to our group. Couldn’t recommend Baia the Italian enough
A. S. N.
Nice ambience. Courteous staff. Nice food. We had main and drink deal. We were very happy with the food. Place is more suited for going out friends than family with young kids. Food came out a bit late (which probably suits a lunch/catch-up type atmosphere).
D. S.
Awesome Place to relax / good food n wine / Good Service......
S. C.
Great food, beautiful atmosphere and superb friendly staff
V. R.
Go there and watch the sunset. They have a sunset menu which includes 3 courses and a beer or wine for AUD 35. It does worth it!
H. T.
Situated in a lovely spot on Darling Harbour, the restaurant has the potential to be amazing. We arrived on a Wednesday night to live music which was good but a little too loud. Our food was actually very nice and with 50% off our bill, wasn't badly priced. The issue with this place is that it's chaotic. We had to get up several times to find someone so we could order our food. So much is going on that it's easy for them to forget you are there. If they sorted that out, I think it would be a lot better.
M. E.
Great service and nice food with a good view over the water. We had a fork discount (50% off). I felt the food was only worth what we paid. I wouldn't return to pay full price. I guess if they keep the fork discount up it could work in their favour as a price discrimination tactic? Potentially charging overseas tourists (unaware of the fork and willing to pay for the location) full price and locals half price.
K. C.
Great Cocktails, excellent food, staff are always friendly and helpful. Love going here whenever we are in the area.
G. C.
Nice place to come for breakdast, lunch, dinner or a drink. Great food. Delicious cocktails.
M. G.
Great service and even better food. We did not expect much from a restaurant in this area. Food was actually really good and despite peak hour quick. We had pizza, pasta, steak and fish. You can make great value out of it as they have a 35$ set Menü as well as 2-for-1 happy hour. Nice find. We will be back.
J. C.
We used a voucher. Went at lunch on a Thursday. It took a little while to get someone to the reception desk, we were escorted to our table, it was a great spot. Best seat in the house. Didn't get given the drinks list and had to go and find one as we couldn't get anybodies attention.
We ordered the cheese platter to share for entree and it was sensational.
My partner ordered a chicken dish with prawns, the prawns were really good, I had a pasta, also good. They seemed to be understaffed, but they were friendly.
Would go back. There were a few other things on the menu we would like to try.
Y. S.
Good food and good mood. service also fine.
J. B.
Great food - I had the gnocchi. Also had cocktails which I also enjoyed. Our food took some time to come out but the manager gave us a free round of drinks for the wait which was fantastic. I would definitely recommend
J. H.
We had the Sunset menu on a Saturday night which was 3 courses plus a drink if you are there before 7pm. We weren't expecting such delicious food and lots of choice for that price. The chocolate mousse was fantastic. The staff were friendly but service was quite slow. So if you aren't in a hurry, it's a great location and tasty food.
n. t.
The ambiance is amazing, there’s good deals on Groupon sometimes if you want to spend less.
The service staff was good and made sure all customers were well served.
The cheesy garlic bread was amazing and tasted better than most places I have been to, the chicken fettuccine tasted like bacon for some reason.
All in all a really good place to walk in to, if you are at darling harbour.
A. M.
Food was decent, Ceasar salad with roasted prawn had the prawns deshelled and cooked to perfection, the rib eye came out more medium than medium-rare, the oysters were fresh and for the most part were expertly shucked, however there was shell in one or two of the dozen. They were busy and barely missed getting our food ready on time for our show at the state theatre (5 minutes late) but I'll give them a pass as the time to mains on the table was 35 minutes from ordering - but they were absolutely smashed with orders. Altogether, I'd go again, but I would also recommend trying one of the many other fine establishments on the wharf if you have tried Baia before. Friendly staff, relatively quiet environment. The indoor fire was a nice touch.
S. F.
The food was lovely. I particulary loved the ragout. Good quantity, congrats to the chef.
Good service, but the manager (italian man) was condescending...
B. M.
Perfect spot for an Italian inspired meal and drinks. The sunset menu from, I think, 4-7 is great value. $35 for a three course meal and a drink of choice. Each course has multiple selections and while the drink list is pretty standard the beer I got with dinner was craft and pretty damn good. Highly recommend as the atmosphere in Darling Harbour at sunset is perfectly chill.
A. K.
Very nice food and great customer service the waiters kept asking if food was okay..
C. A.
This place has a $35 sunset menu where you get a glass of wine, entree, main and dessert all for that price! The food was actually delicious. I was incredulous when I went in, but I was wonderfully surprised. The meals were presented elegantly, the perfect portion size and paced well. Our waiter was simply delightful. Very helpful and accommodating. We arrived after the special had closed and he worked very hard to ensure we could still get it.
I definitely recommend this place to others!
J. B.
$20 for mains, drinks and coffee. Probably the best value for money at cockle bay. Friendly staff and great view.
C. C. (.
Manager was extremely helpful, food was good. The pasta was on point. The slow cooked lamb was quite plain however. Wait staff were too occupied with chatting with each other detracting from the overall experience, throughout the night not once were we asked how the dinner was and we had to ask to get table water topped up. Staff could learn some customer service skills from their neighbouring competitors...
C. K.
Maybe it was 2011, 9 years ago.
I visited here first time and I cannot forget this place that give me great experience.
I was foreign student with few money, and my university was so far from Sydney. I walked much for traveling Sydney, so I felt really tired.
When I arrived here at night, I was moved by the nightscape, though it was without Opera House.
I could not order expensive dishes, but sensible clerk gave me coffee and desert as free service. (maybe he thought I was poor girl... 😅)
If I visit Australia later, I will visit here again with husband🥰 and... not for study!!!
M. S.
Pizza alright yet not quite Italian, seating policy is intransparent—many free tables but we only got offered one with loud music from a night club on one side and waiters tossing cutlery into a metal tray from the other. Impossible to hold a conversation and not a nice atmosphere at all. It seems the management just wants to maximise tables and didn’t really think about the actual experience.
Unless overlooking the harbour, beware of the outside seating area.
A. A.
Love the special offers they have for food at lunchtime and dinner. Happy hour drinks extra. Makes it an affordable place to dine at Cockle Bay. Friendly staff and maitre d very professional and friendly. With water views this place is good for your Italian food fix.
T. P.
The sunset menu is such great value with 3 courses plus a drink for $35! You get the feel of a fancy restaurant with incredible food without having to break the bank. Set right on Darling Harbour as well makes it even better as you watch the sunset!
Z. M. L.
Very good Italian restaurant with good options for drinks.
J. B.
Music a bit loud for us oldies but good food and atmosphere
M. F.
The food here is incredible, but unfortunately, 90% of the staff have no clue what is going on.
It takes forever to get any service, and when they finally show up to take your order they don't write it down, so they end up forgetting stuff.
If you don't mind being here for a while, its a good spot to relax and eat over a period of time. The atmosphere is really good, and like I said, the food is really good. But the service is a serious disappointment
S. T.
We dropped in here for happy hour drinks and ended up enjoying a great night here with a lovely. We shared a Margherita pizza and a salad. Just the right sized meal for two, which was reasonably priced. The service was friendly and efficient. A great location in Cockle Bay, close to the Marina. Worth a looksee.
M. C.
Great service and excellent meals. TIP. Get there for the 2 for 1 drinks early in the evening (from the bar - not at the table) and then order a wine and 3 course meal for AU dollars 35. Great atmosphere and live music.
J. J.
We had the best meal we’ve had in a long time here. We had the rib-eye, pizza and pasta and tiramisu and enjoyed the 2/1 happy hour drinks leading up to the meal. The service was great too. We will be back.
R. J.
Excellent service and love that the staff are attentive and everything from the cocktails to the meal was perfect. The staff here really go the extra mile. Great service also from Giuliet. I can recommend their cocktails especially during happy hour. Great place for sundowners too.
W. V.
Food quality is very good.
Food quantity was minuscule, and I'm not even comparing it to the price.
I went with 8 other colleagues and they all had the same response.
Great taste, but serving size for a lunch menu was more like an appetiser serving.
The price wasnt high when you consider the location and ambience, but its very evident that what your paying for, their rent.
I'm calling it a marketing failure.
Don't call it a lunch menu, and set the wrong expectations.
T. J.
Came for breakfast this morning, so refreshing to visit an establishment that pride itself not only on the food, but the way they treat their customers. Couldn’t fault the coffee, the very tasty food; the customer service was outstanding. Well done guys. Be back for dinner!
M. A.
Outdoor seating is much better than indoor seating for group outing . But indoor seating bit compact and not enough space between seats. Good tasty food.. Booking recommended as lunch and dinner time bit busy over there. Table service is good. But could be but faster.
C. G. (. W. P.
Amazing 22 dollar lunch deal with a glass of wine and coffee included, however they became extremely busy and we waited an hour for the coffee. Meals were tasty and the service was exceptional. Highly recommend
A. F.
Beautiful location, even enjoyed fireworks on Saturday night! Ordered garlic chili pizza for entree, pizza base was super thin and covered in red sauce. Not too bad l, ordered salami pizza and lamb ragou, pasta had zero lamb In the dish 🤷♀️ Lacked flavor pizza was bland and we had no pepper on our table, finally got a waiter to deliver some and noticed other diners over seasoning their food. Asked for chili oil to flavor dish and definitely helped 👏🏻 Shame it wasn’t offered or on the table. Overall experience was meh.
S. F.
Not sure why the overall rating at this place is low but the food is really tasty. Overpriced as expected with every restaurant along Darling Harbour. Contandi pizza and the grilled octopus pasta are recommended. Service is a little slow as the expectation is that you are there for the ambience. Very courteous staff
P. N.
A wonderful meal, good service and great to be in Darling Harbour overlooking the water. Where else would you want to be for dinner. I highly recommend this restaurant, we have been there 3 times now and have enjoyed all our meals.
B. B.
I've been here twice and both culinary experiences were average. Some of our meals were under-cooked and on top of that, we had to wait around an hour for our food to arrive. On another note, the wine is one of the best I've tasted.
C. C.
Not too bad. Staff were nice except of the staff who collected money. Food was not too bad not the best. I used to love their kangaroo fillet, haven’t tried for a while. Location is always good.
S. M.
Great food, great service, the waiter was very good with our kid, reasonable prices for darling Harbour too.
D. D.
Great food freindly staff loved happy hour great atmosphere
A. A.
The waiting time to get the food was a bit too long, but when it arrived - yum! Everything was very good and we could not complain at all. Also all the waiters were very polite.
D. K.
I booked this restaurant for Friday night as a pre-theatre dinner venue. The restaurant was just starting to fill up when we arrived. The waitress took us to our table immediately and gave us the menu. We asked for table inside but it had already been reserved. I asked for heaters to be turned on and it was done promptly. We were also given blankets to keep warm and was a nice touch.
We ordered two pizzas and a pasta to share between the three of us which was plenty. Pizzas were nice but the pasta ordinary and tasted under cooked.
There were lots of waiters/ waitresses around coming to check on us throughout the dinner which was nice as it was quite busy towards the end. The venue is right in the centre of darling harbour and I imagine has a lot of competition from nearby restaurants.
Overall, I would return but try something else from the menu.
O. D.
me and my friend had a great dinner there. for 30 dollars each, we got entrées, Main and deserts. And it was really really good food. a glass of wine was also included. After dinner, we wanted to enjoy some cocktails in the happy hour, but they weren't really good. And the bar tender took about 5 Minutes for every single cocktail. I think he made them with a bit too much love.
K. A.
My sister recommended this restaurant and it certainly didn’t disappoint when my partner and I recently visited. The cocktails were delicious and all of the food was amazing - we order the sunrise three course meal and everything was superb. We will be coming back here again!
M. K.
Great service, great food.
P. L.
Went there last night with a big group, everyone left very impressed. Food was great, service was impeccable (especially in large groups it can get difficult) and all the food came out perfectly. Very good value for money their sunset menu and the lamb was delicious 👌👌
R. S.
I had veg pizza and was disappointed, the menu had loads of toppings, but scantly added. When you are at Italian place, that's the least you expect, have your pizza properly done. The taste was good though.
M. N.
Extremely friendly service, well organised and exceptional value. I have been here a number of times and I have to say that the food hasn't been consistent but the location and overall experience makes up for it. The sunset menu (5:30-7:00) is fantastic value with 3 courses and a beverage for $30.
R. F.
Had dinner at Baia Saturday night, the staff were very attentive and respectful and the meal delightful. We were visiting from interstate. We had asked the waiter for a nice table and expecting to be ignored, were pleasantly surprised to be directed exactly what we asked for after he had gone looking for us. Would thoroughly recommend this restaurant. Two thumbs up.....
D. L.
Baia The Italian has relaxed but attentive service, a huge selection of wines and delicious food in a beautiful setting looking out over Darling Harbour. The dessert selection is also very nice. The only negative from my visit was the cheap teabag used for the peppermint tea instead of proper tea leaves. Otherwise, a great experience.
U. R.
We used a scoopon voucher for our lunch today. We ordered garlic prawns which were big and fresh. The Caesar salad with salmon and the garlic bread were delicious. The carne pizza and the milkshakes were just your ordinary pizza and shake.
We struck it lucky today with the service, because from beginning to the end of our meal the service was excellent. Great location in the heart of Darling Harbour.
K. M.
A great little spot to sit with friends, enjoy good food, wine and the harbour area. We have hosted a few meetings here with partners and clients, and the team are always accommodating and helpful. Will visit again in the future
K. H.
Stunning food. It is expensive but worth every cent. I had the pappadelle with lamb braise and panacotta
V. b.
Wow What an Amazing Meal! Beautiful Darling Harbour views, Great Staff, Comfortable Dining room, Children friendly. We had a wonderful night with our family and definitely will be returning.
A. D.
Touristy, very touristy. But what else do you expect in Darling Harbour! Friday lunch special is pretty good value for the area. Staff training and knowledge is not great, but friendly. Location is fantastic, but they need some better shade options outside, staff weren't able to move the shade umbrellas on a crazy hot sunny day, leaving entire sections to roast
S. R.
We had some time to kill and we just happened to walk in and man did we love it! We ordered the vegetarian pizza and a couple of drinks. Oh yumm!!! We r sooo looking forward to coming back. Service is good. Ambience is good to hang out with friends over cocktails amd bites and even lunch or dinner.Live musician was also very good when we were here for dinner. In a nutshell its a very good place. A little expensive but worth it.
S. K.
Great service with great staff. Food is awesome.
S. N.
Food was ok .Ordered the stuffed chicken breast for around $35.00 and that's all you got on your plate...Looked quite sad ...Any thing else you had to order as an extra ...PLEASE BE REAL BABY SPINACH OR SOME CRUSHED POTATOES WOULD HAVE COST $2.00. Lamb was quite nice. Over all the menu is over priced.But might go back and try the dinner special ..
D. H.
Great prices and food. Live music in a romantic atmosphere. Right on the waterfront so you have really nice views. Great place to impress that special person in your life. Definitely a must visit on anyones list who enjoys great food.
G. T.
Very slow and sub-par service. We had to watch the waiters like a hawk to catch their attention and call them to get service. One of the items delivered was wrong.
If you sit even 3 tables towards inside, it gets uncomfortably warm.
Staff attitude is very nice, the food is ok.
D. Z.
Excellent food, fair prices on food but watch out on those drinks little on the high side. The night Started out on a bit of damper being made to wait to almost 30mins even tho we had made a booking. But the staff handled it well keeping us up to date and making sure we weren't to disappointed (Totally understand that you can't kick someone off there table just because there is another booking)
M. F.
Fabulous food. The pizza was light and fluffy and the pannacotta was divine. We had the sunset menu which was 3 courses and wine for just $35. Fantastic value with a view.
H. S.
Loved the atmosphere and experience of eating here. View was amazing and our waitress was very knowledgeable and friendly. Super cool spot, will definitely be recommending to friends
C. V.
Awesome food, friendly staff and great views.
A. Y.
Really lovely place with nice view of the harbour. Food was really good, servers are really nice and friendly!
A. L.
Very nice food but they missed our reservation and forgot some of our meals, was super slow getting meals, drinks and the bill out. So tasty food but don't chose if ur in a hurry.
S. B.
Service is extremely poor, I sat eating with an empty glass of water on the table for over 30 minutes. The staff just disappeared from service at 9pm Friday evening.
However, the food was great albeit small portions but is as expected at expensive restaurants as the more you pay, the less you get is my finding. A side of broccolini is over $15 as with potato chats.
I wouldn't eat there again...tourist place at tourist prices without the service to match!
T.
Together with my colleague we wandered around Sydney on our last night and we ended up at this restaurant located in a very lively bay. We really enjoyed our food, excellent. Service was good but could have been better to earn the full five stars.
S. B.
Had a great experience here. Lovely staff and Diego the manager was excellent. Great food too of course! Loved my Mushroom Risotto and Pizza. We will be back for sure.
K. E.
What a hidden gem! Found this place on instagram and food looked too good not to try... Every dish full of flavours and presented so nicely by the lovely Anisa. Favourites were the scallops and lamb, but the best was the profiter roles, im still drooling over them! Fantastic cocktails and impeccable service, we’ll definitely be back! 🤗
T. K.
Nice spot for food and drink along cockle bay. We had the $35 sunset menu which was actually really good for the price. A good place to come with visitors from out of town.
N. “. G.
Service and atmosphere was great. Food not so well. Prices are okay. We got a special set menu that goes from 5 till 7. $35 each.
G. J.
Great food with the harbour view
M. P.
The lunch special is awesome! drink, main and coffee for 20 dollars! and there is a variety of mains to choose from! the food took some time to arrive. all the same the food was tasty and in good portion. the lication is a plus! and the cutlery super cute!
K. T.
Exceptional deal for lunch and dinner on their set menus with multiple choices. Pasta cooked to perfection....al dente....and perfectly seasoned ....heavenly delicious. Highly recommended. I am a fussy eater coz I can cook yet I would eat there every day of the week 😋😋😋👍❤
L. H.
We recently visited Sydney and had the most pleasant dining experience at Baia. Our waiter Max was delightful, polite and extremely helpful. He made our night memorable. Our food was absolutely delicious. We could not have had a better experience. Would highly recommend any one enjoying the food in this beautiful setting. 5 stars...well done....Linda and Haydn, Adelaide.
A. P.
Food was ok and so was the ambiance. However...service lacked. Entree came before drinks, despite being ordered as we seated.
Bit of work needed.
R. T.
Seared tuna pasta was quite bland and lacked sauce. Pizzas were crispy!
A. J.
We have gone to this restaurant 3 times prior to today over the last few yrs and loved it. Today however we dined for lunch food was great as always. The wait staff were very rude and it was as though it was a hassle to just clear the table. Disappointed and will probably dine else where when visiting Sydney.
G. M.
awesome food and décor, however a bit overpriced ($16 for 2 eggs, 1 tomato and 2 basic toasts), a tad slow on service. a bit shocked with the plate of plastics just after ordering food (jams, peanut butter, vegemite, etc all in individual portions).
അ. വ.
Lemonade was super cool. The staffs are friendly.
p. l.
great place & views on darling harbor waterfront, good food & drinks
great atmosphere and friendly staff, nice place
home made garlic bread, spaghetti seafood and penne was amazing .
recommend the pannacotta for dessert yumm
good prices we will be back
B. K.
So we ate dinner at the restaurant and brought a small cake for celebrating friend's birthday.
They said they don't allow cakes from outside. Thats something we all heard for the first time. We all have been doing it whole life. I mean we are spending 200$ on dinner and still we are being told that they are making an exception this time as it's not allowed. How could we know that an Italian restaurant also makes full fledged cakes :p .
Anyways, that was bit rude and we wont be going again!
P.S : Be careful if you think of having a birthday lunch/dinner with a cake there !
A. P.
Had the best Pizza ever at Baia. Super waitron, fabulous position overlooking stunning Darling Harbour with all the lights shining. Thoroughly enjoyable last night in Sydney.
B. B.
What a delicious meal! We enjoyed some of the best italian fare I've had outside of Florence, in a beautiful setting, with a lovely attentive waitress. Can't recommend highly enough!
A. B.
Brilliant. This was the best place that we ate while on holidays in Sydney. Service was professional and quick, decor was lovely (including the open fireplace in the bar area) and the food was sensational. A perfect romantic venue for a dinner for two.
J. K.
Reasonably priced with specials a pizza and glass of wine. Other meals though not very Italian. If you go to an Italian restraunt you expect to taste the flavours of Italy. Not here
D. L.
I had dinner with a friend and had the seafood spaghetti which was delicious. We also shared a mousse dessert which was also nice. Prices are reasonable given the location.
A. B.
Great service, fast food prep, good for a work day lunch! Prawns were a bit overcooked in my linguine but otherwise all good. Very cheap lunch deal, $20 for a drink, meal and coffee.
O. G.
This restaurant had a great atmosphere. It overlooks Darling Harbour. What a lovely view. I came here with a big group and had a great time. Love the food.
J. A.
Very nice place and enjoyed the food outlook is beautiful across darling harbour. Went with a big group and we were served reasonably quickly. Recommend a visit.
M. M. S.
The food was nice. Good italian varieties. Reviewing this place after a while and can only remember good stuff. If I am around this place I will go and eat there again
C. N. S.
Love the "Sunset Menu" they offer, it is such great value for money, - its $30 for 3 courses meal and a glass of wine/beer or soft drink of your choice. We have been back a few of times and ordered different things of the set menu (3 selections for each course) such as Lasagne, Steak with roast potatoes & salad or Linguine with Prawns and the food has been consistently good and not to forget the Panna cotta or Tiramisu for desert.
On one occasion we were lucky enough to get a lovely table out the front so we could watch the laser show while we had dinner which was excellent...and all that for only $30!
You just need to insure you get there in time so you get seated and are able to order between 5 - 7 pm as you will otherwise get the a la card menu.
J. P.
The set lunch is very worth the money, good food and drinks at an attractive price. Only downside is that the staffs seemed very untrained (unsure of what to do) and only the manager (we assumed she's the manager) knows what she's doing.
G. P.
Beautiful food, extremely helpful staff as we had our son with Autism with us and they accommodated our every need. 2nd time here and we will be back. Thanks Baia it's pretty hard for us to find a restaurant both adults and kids love.
R. D.
We came over from Adelaide. This place is really nice great food! Love Sydney!
J. K.
They have a very good $22 lunch deal. However no 5 stars just because the manager or head waiter was not friendly. Came across as rude.
A. S.
Great food, great atmosphere. "BUT"... watch out for the seagulls during lunch. ""2"" meals were 'attacked' whilst we were dining there on Monday. Bar that.....excellent.
J. M.
Great bar with a view of Darling Harbour and some great people watching.
Get in early for a comfortable seat. Get extra comfortable and take advantage of the two-for-one cocktail happy hour that starts at 3pm and ends at 7pm!!

Food was perfect, from the pasta to the pizza to the fries. Customer service was very good. Would definitely go again!

Food was nice, but extremely over priced. Service was not bad, friendly staff. It was $25 for a simple bowl of penne and they literallly gave only a handful's worth...would come here again when im a millionaire...

The sunset menu is great value for money. The meatballs were bit dry but very good spicy sauce, the kangeroo was marvellous. Would definitely come back !

Nice food, especially the mushroom risotto. Their cocktails are good too.
R. V.
Friendly staff, prompt service, good quality and tasty food

Good service, all 30 meals served at the same time.
A reliable choice amongst the Cockle Bay eateries
C. V.
We had a great meal. The staff was very friendly and looked after us with care. The view onto the Vivid installation is awesome. Great evening.
C. H.
They do $10 aperol spritz here - it's a bit inconsistent, since the bartenders switch around a lot and they do their own styles and sometimes you get a bit too little Aperol or a bit too little prosecco, so it vascilates wildly between being really good value and a bit ho-hum. Can't comment on the food - since I only go there for an apertif. But the view is quite nice and the service is quite attentive.
W. N.
Great Italian food with great view over Darling Harbour. I tried them a few times, and they haven't failed to impress. Sometimes they have special deals offered on the internet or Sunset Specials (5-7am) at the door, do give them a try.
y. r.
Food was well presented and tasty but staff training let it down. Waitress wasn't sure on the availability of some dishes then sides were forgotten about and arrived after mains were basically finished
T. W.
Delicious food and friendly staff! Highlight was the Arancini, yum yum.
Try avoid sitting near the escalator, makes loud noises and people coming and going over the top of you.
A. S.
Great food, great atmosphere. "BUT"... watch out for the seagulls during lunch. ""2"" meals were 'attacked' whilst we were dining there on Monday. Bar that.....excellent.

Servers were not coordinated and it made service slow. Four different people came to our table and didn't seem to know what we needed, asked the same questions, etc. Food was pretty good and the view is great of Darling Harbour.

Lunch specials are great. Slightly on the smaller side but quality makes up for it. I've had dinner on a Saturday here which was good but a little on the higher side of pricing.

The food was lovely and they have a great array of GF options - pizza, pasta, or risotto, so you'll have lots to choose from. The waygu beef bolognese was a definite highlight!
M. M. S.
Lunch for 20 dollar with drink is great. Pretty good Calzone but the lasagna could have been better. Overall a good experience and friendly staff.
K. K.
Amazing place with a great ambiance and delicious food. Made my birthday one to remember! Would recommend definitely
g. k.
Nice view next to darling harbor. Pizza is thin and tastes good. Prawn is good and grilled salmon with soba menu? so so
P. M.
Barramundi dish was ok ,one of the sirloin steaks ordered was literally not edible and had to return it. Happy hour for drinks at the bar (3-7 pm) is definitely uplifting and a bonus
W. J.
Magical setting, on darling harbour, lights, views, and bustling tourist area, make it an enjoyable dining experience..
Food and service, was spot on, and the cocktail list was very satisfying
F. H.
Strolling through the Darling Harbor area of Sydney Australia on the 1st morning of a trip to the land down under. Tried the Baia version of a traditional English breakfast. Nice atmosphere and food was good.
T. M.
Food was terrible, the crab meat tasted like it came out of a can. Gnocci was evidently not hand made and tasted identical to the microwavable Coles brand. For around 25 bucks for these mains it was not worth it. AT ALL.
Highly disappointed with the service as well, she was extremely rude and left us waiting on drinks while talking to other staff.
D. R.
Had my lunch for 2 times here. Great view and great price for lunch special menu. Great taste but lunch special menu options not much
B. D.
Food was lovely and prices were reasonable. Staff were quite rude though. May be worth putting up with that for the lamb lunch though.
e. H.
Lovely spot, pretty quiet at 2pm on a week day. Nice, well baked Calzone but forest mushrooms tasted like ordinary champignon and I'd like more basil in tomato basil sauce.
M. C.
Very nice pizza and pasta. But the trout was so so... friendly staff. Overall It's a nice place to have a dinner or lunch
K. C.
Tasty food and good atmosphere

Had the Lamb steak which was nice except for it was very saltly. I also asked for chips insread of Mash. The waitress was apologetic when she saw what I got. Still delicious

Amazing service and food! Very well priced with a beautiful atmosphere! Highly recommend to both locals and tourists alike!

Very nice place for dinner at Cockle's Bay. Nice food, good presentations and friendly staff. Overpriced, as every place on this area. You have to pay for the place and por the views. Í enjoyed.
