Chiosco By Ormeggio

Enjoyed it here thank you

Had lunch with a very good friend I hadn’t seen for years.. good we went for a walk first because the seafood pasta was very filling and tasty

Great location, lovely food and friendly service. We had the Chef's sharing menu which was great way to try several of the dishes.

Great as always

A great chefs sharing plate experience. Loved all the food. Fabulous service from the 2 waitresses. Great location.

Awesome..... as always, great place

We have been to this restaurant many times and we enjoyed everything with our families and friends.

Food was amazing, very well presented and tasty. We’ve been trying different dishes every time and we found each of them were prepared nicely and cooked well in order to get the best flavour.

Service was very good as well. Warm greetings when we reached the front door and all the guests were looked after well.

We will definitely come back!

Great experience, we love this place

Great venue, nice view and delicious food. Have been here quite a few times and never left disappointed. Highly recommended!

Had a great experience dining in this restaurant. The staffs are friendly.

Great experience the food delicious and the service even better Thanks and I ,ll be back

Had a good lunch in a delightful restaurant.

Very attentive staff. Great food. Nice ambiance.

4 stars for ambiance and service at Chiosco and 3 stars for the food. The waiter recommended us to order the Chef Sharing Feast so we ordered the premium one. The first few entrees were nice but the rest was under average. The wagyu was dry and under seasoning. It's ok price with 50% off from First Table but we wouldn't pay full price for it. Bottom line, we wouldnt go back again.

Excellent food, service and location!
Highly recommend

Love this restaurant !!! It has a beautiful water view and the food is delicious & good services too. I especially like the entree calamari fritti and the dessert bomboline filled with nutella is a must. Will definitely come back again !!!

A fantastic experience, great food and service. Highly recommended!

Great staff, ambience and food

Charming, small, enclosed pier area on the Spit, full of light.
Welcoming staff, comfortable table .
My meal of Vitello Tonsto and pasta with a Wagu beef ragu and a side salad was all delicious .
The glass of red wine that I ordered was not good .
My friends ordered the. fish which was very tasty but small and they said but they felt that they did not get what the menu promised , that the tiny smear of pumpkin purée and a handful of raw baby spinach on the plate was inadequate and left them feeling disappointed.
I would certainly return to Chiosco.

Great food and exceptional service

Lovely food, very nice venue on the water at the Marina. We had the kingfish, prawns, seafood marinara and barramundi. Just delicious. The wine menu was good, we really enjoyed the Chardonnay.

We loved the food and wine since the first visit, the staff were very friendly as well. Now we become their regular customers and we will come again for sure! Highly recommended!

Excellent food and service.
Highly recommend.

We had a great evening dinner!! Delicious food and amazing location!! We will continue exploring Sydney restaurants now that we tried for the first time with first table it makes us want to do it every week and we can definitely afford it now. This is the best idea ever!! Thank you
Brendan and Daniela.

We went for Lunch and had the chefs premier selection which was fantastic my favourite was desert especially the warm Nutella filled donuts.
Location is second to none looking out at the marina.

This is the first time we’ve eaten here and we used the website firsttable.com.au to enable us to enjoy the first sitting for dinner. We were quite early and there’s something wonderful about pretending that the restaurant has just opened for you (No, it hadn’t we were just the first table for the evening). We had fabulous oysters, the snapper and the lamb shoulder - all of it was cooked to perfection. We had a side of beans and the lamb shoulder came with and artisan Italian spinach. Service was fantastic and the wine was moderately priced. I would recommend this to anyone. It’s not a walk by/walk in m restaurant - as you need to know where it is but it really is worth making the booking. While this review is a plus plus recommendation, my only request would be that both roast and mash potato could be available as opposed to just chips. Chips just don’t flick the Italian switch for me.

Food was amazing, had the premium sharing feast everything was delicious.
Waiter was very attentive would definitely come back

Super fun night with our kids for my birthday, the service was amazing!

Absolutely beautiful food with a beautiful view. While it was cold and windy outside the restaurant was cosy and inviting. Calamari and garlic bread were perfect. These entrees were followed by the barramundi and the prawn dish - these too were cooked perfectly. To top off the meal we had bombalone and coffee which was a delicious combo and would highly recommend! Great service.

A special occasion, our 30th wedding anniversary was make perfect by the lovely lunch we had at Chiosco by Ormeggio. Service was attentive from the cheeky waiter without being excessive, food came timely and was delicious, location on the marina was beautiful. Thanks guys, we'd certainly visit again.

Not worth booking first table unless you plan to drink a lot as the wine is pretty expensive, better off paying for food and doing BYO.

We arrived at Chiosco and were immediately taken to our table. We had fabulous, quick service within a lovely environment on the water. We shared two mains Tiger Prawns with Chilli and Lemon and Barramundi with a pumpkin sauce both delicious with sides of Rocket salad and the most scrumptious chips. The chips arrived slightly late, as a result we realised on paying the bill they were given to us at no charge. The restaurant was full on a Wednesday night and we can understand why!

Excellent views and food was quick and delicious

We had a delightful lunch at chiosco. Every dish was amazing and the staff were very helpful and obliging. The beautiful autumn weather was a bonus for us to enjoy the spectacular spot at the marina. This will become a regular spot for me To enjoy with family and friends. Thankyou

Excellent food, service and location. Late afternoon on the water....a delight.

Great food had the degustation it was really great value and I’d highly recommend it. The service was great the location and atmosphere makes it a must visit.

Good food, good service, expensive and surprisingly little choice, we thought, for a Kiosk (Chiosco) by a Mooring (Ormeggio) albeit a fine dining establishment with a celebrity chef.

Our 'Pavoni' garlic bread was light and delicious, quite different to usual styles of GB, and the Bruschetta was entirely off the wall as far as the usual dish is concerned. We enjoyed our rainbow trout cooked in foil parcels with heaps of olives although, disappointingly, only 1 out of 3 of us liked olives. Barramundi came with crispy skin and was moist and tender, served on a bed of crispy kale - not what you'd call a portion of vegetables. And so to the 'Sides' or lack of them with dishes. One needs to order accompanying vegetable dishes separately as no main dishes appear to have anything else with them. We opted for, between four, two salads and the only offering of potato (no rice or cous-cous or similar) which was chips. The chips were very ordinary, surprisingly so, very like average seaside kiosk chips with little to commend them. The salads, small, marginally interesting but not very substantial. No side of mixed vegetables was available, which would have been a good choice with all the fish dishes. Service was good and charming. The share plates on offer, at the price of $69 or $79 per person, we thought, was more than we would expect from this kind of ambience and location, after all it's NEXT to the fine dining restaurant and during the day is a coffee spot. Slightly disappointing too that no BYO possible with First Table bookings. Also, note that car parks are not adjacent to either Chiosco or Ormeggio so on a rainy night, it's umbrellas at the ready for a walk across the Spit Bridge or across the grass to enter through the boat showroom, confusing if you haven't been before. We would be happy to return, but only with First Table's discount at these current prices.

What ‘GEM’ the food and service were excellent. The ambiance! set amongst the marina and boats was picture perfect. Will deninitely return.

We loved it!! Awesome service and great food. It was our wedding Anniversary and our waitress certainly made it feel special. She was very friendly and attentive. We would highly recommend this restaurant for its location on the water, great atmosphere and perfect service. Thank you again!

Beautiful food, service and view. Thank you for the memorable meal

Great food! Great service!

Best First Table dining experience to date! Food was very tasty and generous, location gorgeous and the staff so friendly. Will definitely be back at Chiosco!

Excellent service and delicious food.

Superb food and service as always

What a fabulous location overlooking the sea and marina. We celebrated my partner’s 95 year old mother’s birthday with the Chefs Sharing plate. This consisted of 11 plates and we certainly weren’t hungry at the end. Even his mum polished off the lot!!
The staff were great. Even brought out the desserts with a candle in the doughnut. They had smiles on their faces at all times and were so caring.
We didn’t try the wines but the table tap water kept on coming!!
We will be back!

This is one of our favourites and always fantastic.

Fabulous service, food and location. Would totally recommend.

Fantastic food and service in a gorgeous setting. Would highly recommend!

Amazing food hosting my client however when the waitstaff provided our table the bill, she announced you have a 50% discount with First Table. A little embarrassing when hosting clients. I did call and email the restaurant who did respond but just replied saying thanks for feedback.

Had a great meal last night with my wife and two young kids. The staff are always great with the kids and the food was excellent.
