Italian fine dining, in Bondi since 2002

One of Australia’s most recognised Italian restaurants in the world, consistently hatted since opening. The Dining Room has been described by Nigella Lawson as her favourite restaurant on earth. Set above the Pacific, the room opens to uninterrupted ocean views, where the movement of the sea becomes part of the dining experience.

The menu is refined Italian cooking, guided by the seasons and shaped by long-standing relationships with small producers. Hand-rolled pasta, sustainably sourced seafood, and vegetables and cheeses from carefully selected growers across Australia and Italy. A dedicated vegetarian and vegan menu sits alongside the à la carte, as well as a children’s menu for younger guests.

For milestone celebrations, long lunches, or evenings that move at a slower pace with the Pacific in view, the Dining Room remains a place Sydney returns to when the occasion matters. For groups of 40 or more, the restaurant can also accommodate semi-private or exclusive hire.
