Baia The ITALIAN

Very good restaurant

Food and service so good, excellent.

We waited food bit a long

Nice entree and main meal. Didn't have dessert as we couldn't get someone to give us a menu so we left.

My boyfriend and I made a booking through First Table for a Friday evening and we were very pleased with our experience. The food was delicious - we both ordered fish (trout and barramundi) and it was cooked to perfection. We will definitely come back again.

Most enjoyable, very delicious food and great service!

Food was amazing and service was impeccable couldn’t asked for more .Stephano was a breath of fresh air.m and the Manager was easy to talk to when we request something.Thanks Baia for making my bday a very special one

The atmosphere of the restaurant is nice with the views of cockle bay but our mains took 40mins to come out and we didn’t even order any starters! The restaurant wasn’t even that busy which annoyed us as we had a boat to catch and we had to rush our dinner. We nearly left without eating. Food was average.

This is my second visit to Baia with my family. The service and the food is consistently good. Nestled within the busy Darling Harbour, Baia is still a cozy Italian place that always delights. Will definitely go again.

Good food great view

Poor service im glad i didnt pay full price. No one came to our table to take our orders, it seems that the staff purposely look down so they don't see customers glancing at them to get their attention for service. When we finally saw a lady who was free she literally put her hand up informing us to "wait". And walked away without getting anyone to help us. I literally had to stand up and wave someone down. They also dont top up your water - or give you a jug so you can pour it yourself we actually had to flag down a waiter the three times we needed a refill of water. Such poor service and mediocre food. Give your business to another restaurant.

Great service and great food

Good food. Good atmosphere

Our meal was excellent. The whole baby snapper was superb. Excellent service rounded off a great evening. Thank you.

The food, the service and the view was great. It’s the second time I have been there and it didn’t disappoint.

Very nice meal - thank you! Staff helpful and pleasant.

We had a great time at Baia the Italian. It was our first time dining there and we will definitely be back. The food was amazing and the staff were very friendly. Definitely recommend the milk chocolate mousse for dessert! :)

Great food, service and location.

Will def return

It’s not my first time here, definitely not my last! The food as always, is delectable! I really enjoyed my meatball starters and the garlic bread, oh so good!! I reckon they’ve got the best garlic bread! The best thing about dining early is that we’re in before the peak hour crowd hits, which meant our dishes came out nice and quick. The cherry on top of it all? Happy hour for drinks are happening at the same time and that made us a whole lot happier too! Cannot wait for my next visit!

Had a great time....was runing a few minutes late due to atrocious wearher but was not a problem...staff very accommodating. Enjoyed the meal and atmosphere. .will def return next time we out in Sydney. Also Happy Hour from 5pm~6pm so added bonis.

Fantastic dinner at Baia, service was excellent and so was the food. The Calamari starter was so tasty. We also had a pizza, pasta and one of the salads, all great. We were given a table right at the front outside and happy hour was also on so drinks were 2 for 1. Will definitely be back.

Excellent evening at Baia. The thunderstorm did not spoil our lovely meal. Highly recommend Baia the Italian

Food was amazing, couldn’t fault anything we ate & we ate a lot, we had good seating outside with a great view & they kindly moved us inside when the wind picked up & it was to cold. Happy hour was great as well..

Nice food and good service, although it took a long time for our wine to come!

Great food, great service and two for one drinks. Would have liked dessert but was never offered a menu so not sure if they do it?

Calamari and the cocktails were tremendous, both the mains we’re really great too. Worth a trip definitely

Was put on a table that was cold and windy. When we asked if we could sit inside or under the heater we were told there were no available tables. The restaurant was quite empty, and still quite empty by the time we finished. It took ages to be able to order a drink and then it took nearly an hour for our wine to come. We had finished our entrees and had started our main by that time. Service was also slow to bring our meals. Entrees were nice, I had Arancini and my husband had Calamari. My husband ordered a truffle risotto for main and couldn’t taste any truffle in it and I got the parmigiana pizza which had hardly any topping on it and the base was soft.

Great food and cocktails! Service was friendly.

Everything about booking through First Table was excellent. We were welcomed & really looked after by the restaurant. There was no pressure to leave after dinner & the food was great. Can’t wait to book our next restaurant through this site.

We had a lovely meal at Baia the Italian. Great food and the location is perfect overlooking Darling Harbour. The service was excellent.

Good food, good service and good value.

This was our first visit to Baia the Italian, and it was really good! Using First Table was not a problem in any way; when we arrived at the restaurant we informed them that we had booked via First Table and they immediately knew who we were. We had a wonderful table, right by the waterside - excellent for people-watching.

The restaurant had happy hour ongoing, 2 for 1 on all drinks by the glass, so even the drinks bill was very affordable. We had cocktails and then a glass of wine with dinner.

We shared a calamari starter, which was large and very flavoursome. For mains I had the fried chicken and my partner had pizza; the pizza had very little cheese but was good nonetheless, and I really enjoyed the chicken.

The service was great; food came quickly and we never had to wait to attract a server's attention. All in all a very good dining experience and we'll probably go back soon.

Had a lovely evening, food was devine. Only negative was they didn’t offer us the sunset menu only the full menu, would have been good to have a choice. Being there for happy hour was also a bonus.

Waitress service was impeccable, my friends were running late so the table was held for us. They waiters also took my friends orders before they arrived. Food was cooked to perfection. I would recommend the lamb with truffle mash and the steak! The caesar salad was one of the best my caesar connoisseur friend advised me! Good veggie options too! Great food... amazing view of the harbour we had an outside seat at the front perfect to watch vivid with a nice little heater to take away the chill. 100% be returning

Beautiful setting on the water, great service and food. Looking forward to returning!

Great place for dining at the waterfront in Darling Harbour. Very good food and attentive staff!

The food was beautiful and delicious as it always is at Baia. We were also there in time for their 2-for-1 happy hour and celebrated some exciting news with a stunning prosecco.

good

Awesome place, great food quality .and great service and loved happy

Thank you for a wonderful time . Staff so attentive and helpful. The food was delicious and the happy hour drinks made it an affordable evening but rich in memories . We will be back

A great and fabulous way to book a table at a restaurant and enjoy a great meal and experience withFirst Table! We have used First Table before and have never been disappointed.

Food was amazing if I was to fault anything just slightly too much salt for my liking otherwise will be definitely going there again

We had an excellent time at Baia. The food was well presented, fresh and full of flavour, great portion size, definitely did not leave hungry. The service was excellent and the 2 for 1 drinks during happy hr topped off our night.

Great food great location

Thank you, we had a nice time

We had the barramundi and rock oysters and seafood spaghetti. Would highly recommend all three. Very tasty. Had to wait a while to pay because there was no one attending the machine.

Food was delicious and they were ample servings. Service was a bit more relaxed than we were but friendly all the same!
Another plus, we were there in time for Happy Hour!!
Well worth a visit...we will definitely return.

Delicious food and cocktails in a beautiful setting!

We had a lovely meal and fantastic service, the view was great , i would highly recommend Baia The ITALIAN restaurant

The food was so good we went back for lunch the next day.
