Chiosco By Ormeggio

On a windy and cold Thursday morning we had the pleasure of arriving at Chiosco By Ormeggio, which is situated on the marina at The Spit, Mosman.
We were seated at our table and offered drinks and our menus. We started with a coffee each and then perused the menu and decided to share a starter of calamari fritti: southern calamari with lemon mayonnaise which was delicious.The calamari was lightly fried, crunchy and incredibly tasty while the lemon mayonnaise was a wonderful accompaniment.

We then chose our mains, the Gnocchi Cacio e Pepe: which is gnocchi with
pecorino, parmesan, black pepper & crispy brussels sprouts and the Tagliatella allo Scoglio which is homemade tagliatella with mussels, prawns, calamari, white fish & parsley. The pasta dishes were simply served in white bowls which allowed the pasta to speak for itself, and it did, they were both delicious and oh so tasty.

Chiosco is a lovely venue for a casual catch up or a function. The food is uncomplicated yet so full of flavour, you won't be disappointed.

Great food, attentive and friendly service in a fabulous location.
Thank you, again.

It's one of our favourite. The staff are always enthusiastic and friendly. The food is perfectly Italian and the afternoon was perfect !! Thank you.

I had a wonderful birthday lunch at Chiosco by Ormeggio. The seafood tagliatella was delicious as was the melt in your mouth beef cheeks. Will definitely dine here again.

We enjoyed our meal ar Chiosco. The food excellent, service quick and personal. My husband was celebrating his birthday and halfway through the meal he was given a birthday card. The small things in life make a big impression.

Excellent food, service and location. Very nice evening

Fantastic food and great atmosphere. I’d highly recommend Chiosco . We had a degustation with lots of food and great flavours

It’s my new fave restaurant!

Amazing food, excellent service and great ambience! Child friendly restaurant. Will definitely come back again.

Great spot and good Italian food. The home made ice cream can be improved though...

We had the most fantastic lunch at Chiosco - the food was incredible and the staff brilliant. My husband said it was the “best lunch” he’s had aside from being somewhere exotic on holidays.

Delicious pasta and calamari was crispy crunchy
We had the chefs Menu and enjoyed it

Our experience at Chiosco was amazing. The food, service and the setting were incredibly good. We had the degustation and my girlfriends and I have all vowed to make this a regular thing and call ourselves ‘The Degustations’

Thank you

Food is amazing, view is beautiful and staff are super helpful

Excellent experience
Will be back

This restaurant is on a wharf and is brilliant in summer....so we were worried about the location as it was cold and wet. But as soon as you entered the restaurant, it was nice and warm with plenty of protection from the weather. The waitress was warm and welcoming and very professional. We tried a variety of menu options (one recommended by the waitress) and they were all amazing. I can't wait to go back again.

The whole lunch dining experience was great!!
Food delicious & staff very attentive.
Can't recommend the restaurant highly enough!!

Chiosco is a sublime dining experience. The quality, freshness and variety of the food is exceptional... the staff are extremely attentive, courteous and efficient... and the location is stunning. Thoroughly recommended.

Another fantastic meal, friendly staff and the best Italian food. Worth booking from Queenstown NZ.

Service was incredible. Very friendly waiter who was great engaging with my daughter as well. He was very knowledgeable which was helpful in deciding what we were going to eat and drink. Food was delish and wine too. Lovely waterside ambience. Will definitely be back

Excellent ambiance with great food and service.
Thank you for a wonderful lunch.
We'll be back!

Wonderful food and the view is amazing!

A perfect location to enjoy a leisurely lunch with friends. The kingfish with pine nut cream and citrus /orange dressing was my favourite dish. The delicate flavours were a great combination. All our meals- whole fish, grilled prawns and the mussels were delicious. Attentive service and friendly staff.

We had a wonderful evening at Chiosco. We got allocated the best table, right by the Jetty with stunning views. The food was divine and the service fantastic! We will definitely be back.

Had the tasting menu, it was great - more than we needed but definitely worth trying.

The staff were lovely and the dishes we had were melt in your mouth. Lovely location for a meal by the water.

Amazing food, great view and the most friendly staff! They even took care of our 2 and 4 year old providing them with colouring books and crayons. My 4 year old said it's the "best pasta ever" and they were very happy with their gelato too. My husband and I enjoyed the seafood especially the oysters from the Sydney harbour and the grilled split prawns. One of our best meals in Sydney!

Great spot, delicious food and very good service

Fast becoming my favourite. Real italy right here without being pretentious. Quality

Amazing experience, I couldn’t have chosen a best place to celebrate our wedding Anniversaire . The staff is simplify amazing , courteous and naturally nice. Food was great and the view even better . It’s a relax atmosphere in a beautiful place ! Loved and for sure will return there ! Thank you Chiosco team

Beautiful food & atmosphere. Would thoroughly recommend.

Nice relaxed atmosphere. Always a great meal

Everything about Chiosco was great! The servings were big, the service was outstanding and the venue itself is beautiful. I would definitely recommend.

This is a great location, beautiful outdoor area overlooking some amazing boats, houses and water views. The seafood is 1st class and I had the rainbow trout which was superb. If you go the “ bomboleni” is a must.

Also after 6pm the car park is free

One of our favourites. We had the chef's sharing feast which was excellent all the way through. Great staff , great location.

Beautiful setting, very friendly staff and great food. Highly recommend

Great location. Excellent food and very kid friendly.

What a great restaurant this place is with very friendly staff and a great menu to choose a delightful dish from. It was a great place that was somewhere very different and it was very quite in terms of noise but a beautiful spot at the marina. Will be back again for sure.

We had the feast and it was just wonderful. So was the location!!!

Such wonderful staff, delicious food and magical setting. We will definitely be back again.

The best bruschetta, and the lamb...... W O W!!!!

Great restaurant. Delicious food. Excellent service.

Lovely italian food and panacotta
Have to go back for more

Great restaurant, our first time there and we will definitely be back!

Super impressed with Chiosco! The service was so good! Staff was friendly, open and very attentive. I have gluten, onion and garlic allergy and they cater for me without issues. Food was delicious!! And wine is pretty good too. The ambience of the place is good too you feel like you are in Sardinia with the water views and the sunset over the houses near the water. Will definitely come back!

Excellent food and service. If you can't get in with First Table, book direct anyway. It's worth it.
