Como Italian

Nestled in the heart of The Rocks, Como Italian pairs contemporary sophistication with uninterrupted views of two Sydney icons—the Opera House and Harbour Bridge. Inspired by the romance of Lake Como and the refinement of modern Italy, the venue blends timeless trattoria warmth with a polished, contemporary aesthetic. This is Italian dining reimagined: cosmopolitan, refined, imaginative, and grounded in generous hospitality.

The kitchen champions quality local produce and a sustainable philosophy, drawing depth and character from familiar flavours. Begin with house-made focaccia, glossed with olive oil and balsamic, or Appellation Sydney Rock Oysters brightened with sherry mignonette. From the grill, garlic prawns sing with lemon zest, while spaghetti marinara brings together king prawns, calamari, crab, and octopus in a rich, coastal harmony.

Mains are delivered with understated confidence. Fiorentina arrives flame-kissed, served with roast potatoes and chimichurri, while Carré d’agnello showcases pistachio-crusted lamb finished with a rich jus. Thoughtful sides patate arrostite and grilled asparagus with prosciutto—highlight texture and balance before a refined finale of house-made tiramisu.

With postcard views and a menu rooted in tradition, Como Italian captures the essence of Italian culture within one of Australia’s most storied precincts. Settle in, savour the moment, and let the evening unfold—la dolce vita, Sydney style.
