    Solo diner from Hobart .stumbled on this place in May and as soon as I decided when I was coming back to Sydney for a visit, this was the first place I booked! Catered to half serves also! -Focaccia w truffle butter/EVOO -Yellow fin tuna & peach -And probably the most insane carbonara ever Tried so hard to finish my tiramisu but was defeated. Wines were well priced and delish! Had very attentive waiter in hat providing nice chats and wonderful waitress who gave me great brunch recommendations! Book the bar! It’s a vibe! See you soon!

    From the moment we entered "Neptune's Grotto" I knew we were in for a splendid evening. And we weren't disappointed. I am a big fan of a short Menu where you want to try everything on offer. And this is exactly what was displayed. The food was superb and the extensive Wine List was deletable. Heavily leaning on Italian Wines -and rightly so - there was something for every price range. The food was superb, the décor romantic and the whole experience made me sad we had to leave. But we will be returning.
