Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Makaveli delights with "great vibes" and "amazing service," making it ideal for "fun group celebrations." While some found the menu limited, dishes like sweet potato gnocchi and burrata are praised. The "Sunday Gnocchi & Wine" deal and "dog-friendly" atmosphere add charm. Perfect for "sharing" and enjoying "incredible food" in Bondi.

Very vibey but quite loud. Great place for a drink with friends but the food was disappointing and it took 30 mins to get bread and olives.

Got a small table for 2 people along a wall. Couldn't move the table, because it would be wobbly and unstable. Too bad, because I did make a reservation in advance. Water was offered at the table, but then charged for $9 on the receipt. I think that is disproportionate. If I had known that in advance, I would have ordered something else. The dish was of good quality, but relatively small.

My group was visiting Bondi Beach and this was our favorite place. We visited two different times and both experiences were amazing. The sweet potato gnocchi and Barada appetizer were amazing. Definitely recommend the margaritas they were out of this world. One of the more outrageous eating experiences I’ve had in years.

Service was not great Had to ask for bread 3 times before asking the chefs to hand it over to us at the counter to mop up our finished Burrata juice off the plate Cocktails nice. Gnocchi was flavourless and could have done with some fragrant herbs infused into it A guy smoking outside with his smoke wafting into the restaurant where we were eating. He should have been moved on!

We love Makaveli !! The $26 fresh Gnocci and wine was excellent and the service was amazing considering we took so long deciding what to order! I asked for no Parmesan cheese due to my allergy and the waiter noticed that the dish contained pesto (which has Parmesan) and kindly told the chef to remove, which I wouldn’t have realised otherwise! 10/10 experience
