10. Pompei's

Exceptional(23)

$$$$Price: Expensive

• Italian • Bondi Beach

Booked 8 times today

Two very special but uniquely different places are the inspiration behind Pompei’s. The spectacular rustic beauty of Cortina perched high in the Alps of northern Italy underpins everything we do. And the eclectic cool chic of the world’s most famous beach shapes how we do it. Just as the dramatic vertical pale peaks of the Dolomites contrasts with the cosmopolitan marine landscapes of Bondi, our faith in traditional artisanal hand-crafting cooking contrasts with our creativity and innovation to produce delicately balanced healthy dishes. It’s our tradition in evolution, continuing our journey guided by fond memories of my mother’s Italian home cooking. They say there’s two sides to every story - so stay a while and hear ours. We might be from Cortina, but we’ve made this place our home. And both places define us. We’re Bondi made Italian.

Food was delicious, atmosphere was great Service was ok. I felt the wait staff could have been slightly more attentive... noticing that wine glass was empty and offering another - for instance. But overall, a lovely experience.

We thoroughly enjoyed this restaurant from the speakeasy type entrance to the superb cocktails, excellent food and friendly service. The atmosphere is warm and mysterious. We enjoyed sharing the calamari as an appetizer followed by the pasta with pork/veal ragu sauce that is beyond description. As a main course we thankfully shared a delicious veal Milanese in bolognese which could have fed three. Best restaurant in Sydney by far.
