This place is fantastic. We sat out the back courtyard and it felt like we had been transported to Italy, and we were on vacation. The service and food were exceptional. The vibe was so relaxing. the staff were so nice and friendly. Thankyou :)

The manager was lovely. However the $39 lunch special consisted of two seperate tomato pastas - not exactly a great choice. So we went to order from the specials menu, which wasn’t available until the evening. So we were left with the main menu, and spent more than twice as much. The food is good, and they comp’d wine which was a very nice touch - hence the 4/5 rating. But the chefs really need to get their act together and improve the offerings for the lunch special. I’ll go back, but not at lunch.

We had a wonderful birthday dinner at Bar Rosella and enjoyed it very much. The food was excellent and very flavoursome, the wait staff were busy but attentive and the ambiance was lovely. The wine list was a bit pricy however. It would be a good to offer a few options below $20 per glass. Overall we left very happy with our dining experience.
