Ormeggio

Great food and service as always! We had been to Ormeggio before and would be happy to pay full price, but having the option to get it half price is ideal, especially when it ensures you’re back home for the kids’ bedtime.

The service was amazing and very attentive. The First Table discount only applies to the degustation, so we can only comment on that menu, which was good. We were kind of confused as to why this menu had been awarded 2 chef hats though. Perhaps it was for the al la cart menu that was not included in the offer. The location is amazing with incredible views of the sunset.

Excellent and splendid as always .

Great food and service as always
Superb flavours
A real must for any foodie

What an experience. Taste of Italy degustation. Each dish was different. But Wow! Each was a flavour sensation. The techniques on display were worth the price tag. Will def go again.

Wonderful, innovative Italian food. Took us back to Italy! Highly recommended.

Fantastic - Never disappointed. Been here 5 times and absolutely love the vibe and ambiance. The staff explains very well the origin of each wine and the taste and farmers they use for their in house meal. Excellent exotic flavors to be experienced .

amazing meal. sublime. 9 course tour around italy. first table made it awesome value for money dining experience. thanks

The best Italian restaurant in Sydney!!!

Staff were friendly and informative. well paced dining experience and great ambience.

Amazing! By far it’s the best experience we have had in Sydney! The service is amazing, friendly smiling staff with incredible views on the water. We added the cheese and the oysters and we were amazed. Recommend to everyone who Is looking for a dinning experience and enjoys fine dining! Will come back for sure!

Great location, great service and amazing food. Would highly recommend the cheese board if you still have room!

Excellent service and food was amazing . Thank you for a lovely birthday experience

Amazing Setting
A trip through Italy - a lovely experience
the early seating lets you appreciate the water and views

Had the best seat in the restaurant; window seat with a view of the spit. Very talented chef, food was incredible. Thank you first table!

Great experience and will encourage friends to dine here

Excellent, food, wine, service and views. Perfect for a special occasion.

A magnificent degustation 'Trip through Italy'. Superb service and the waiters were so knowledgeable about each course and what a view!
This was such delicious food, beautifully presented and innovative. Sensational.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Ormeggio. Both the service and the food were outstanding. We did the 7 course degustation with matching wines which I highly recommend. Look forward to my next visit to Ormeggio.

We had a really good trip around Italy.. all food and presentation are amazing.. love fish and beef cheek!! Will revisit for sure!!

Last nights Taste through Italy’s 9 course degustation meal was outstanding. Every mouthful was an explosion of flavour and texture.
I consider this a special occasion restaurant which is great value.
The service is very friendly and very Italian.

Fabulous dining experience from the first morsel of the exquisite porcini mushroom tart to the tiny pumpkin tart with almond. Highlight was the pasta course - bursting with flavour. All set against the backdrop of the sparkling harbour. Nice to see a boy rowing past with his dog in the front of his dinghy.

What a beautiful setting and what an amzing experience. From the waiters happily changing our table, to the sommelier who suggested a brilliant Italian wine, to the food description of every delicious course, we had the best time! We will return.

A truly unique dining experience, Ormeggio is a show stopper. Beautiful food matched with personable, approachable service, cannot fault this venue. I feel very lucky to have come across this on First Table. Soave and Primitivo suggested by the sommelier were well priced and great pairs with the variety of the food, which I might add was both technically delicate and textually spot on! A real gem in the crown of the Sydney Dining Group.

Food was great from start to finish, wine matches were on par for the most part with the pre dessert pear dish being an incredibly good match. Also really enjoyed the Carbonara Cappuccino. Exacting and accommodating service and very friendly all the way through. Unobtrusive but always ready to assist.

Wonderful experience at Ormeggio! Lunch for 2 ended up being around $250 including drinks, but would still recommend for a special occasion. Food was brilliant - very refined, not too heavy, beautifully presented.. all together delicious!

It was a beautiful experience - waiters sat us by the full paneled windows so we had a stunning view by the water.
You can add oysters, truffles, or a long trip to the experience. I had the oysters which was served in a raspberry/tomato sauce

We started with Stuzzichini (snacks) - there was a corn taco, polenta and blini (more like a tartlet, but the seaweed shell was amazing and so umami!)
My favourite when doing degustations are always the snacks simply because the chef really gets to go creative, and this did not disappoint.

Next we had the sourdough with a fermented tomato butter. The bread was so fluffy and warm - and I am SO thankful that Ormeggio served the butter separately for each person! (My SO tends to take too much butter when having bread, leaving me with none. This saved me)

Maybe it is because we started early, service was quite quick for us (little waiting, not rushed!). We finished in about 2 hours. After the bread, we had the yellowfin tartare with roe and seafood chips (3 different kinds), my favourite being the squid ink chip. After that we had another fish dish -- murray cod with three capsicum sauces - beautiful colours and a delight to eat! Thereafter came the wild mushroom soup -- I wish I had added truffle to this! (it was an option). The Bottoni (pasta dish) was a highlight - it was filled with eggplant parmigiana, I really wonder how it would have tasted if we replaced this with truffle! On a note about the truffles, I didn't add it on that day but after having the dishes I can totally imagine how it would have added on to the dishes that we had an option to add it on to. Often you go to restaurants and you are allowed to add the truffle to any dish --- and I have done that only to have had the flavours clash. Clearly Ormeggio doesn't just see the truffle as a frivolous add on!

We had 2 desserts -- one the strawberry panna cotta (very creamy, the acidity from the strawberries worked well!), and the pumpkin cake with balsamic. I have had many 'inventive' desserts -- but often the flavours do not complement. Every component in the 2 desserts I tried worked beautifully together. We ended the meal with petit fours.

Overall worth it getting to Mosman for this! (By the way, parking is quite expensive -- there are direct buses from spit junction to the bridge)

We so enjoyed our trip through Italy. First table made this extravaganza fit our budget. Great service great wine greatest food. We loved everything.

Truly a superb fine dining experience!!

Amazing from arrival to last sip of espresso martini

A trip through Italy was ok, but not amazing. I felt the food tasted very creamy and oily and flavours were so mixed, I could not enjoy the individuality of the ingredients. Portions were super small, but this was to be expected, its just a shame that when you are enjoying a course, its gone in two bites. The only decent sized portion of food was the bread, which I think they include so you don,t go home feeling hungry. Even though you receive seven courses they are so small you still feel like you could have received a little more and still managed the seven courses easily. Why Murray Cod was on the menu, is beyond me, maybe the fish has made its way to the Italian Riveria, but its a freshwater fish so who knows .The waiters are friendly and polite, and do their job well, but the Italian accent, so strong at times, I could not understand the explanation of the food on my plate, they also read out the ingredients to script and did not really socially engage with us, it was like explanation and then gone. The waiters also suggest the most expensive wines on the menu. I asked for a glass of Shiraz only to be offered a similar Italian version at the price of $25 per glass. It is not the sort of restaurant where you want to be asking the price, especially if you are on a date. My girlfriend and I decided it would be the first and last time here, but I wish them well. I think we will stick to Tru Blue in Balgowlah, they have the flavours and portions sizes just right and great value for money.

Great food and great service!

Beautiful setting by the water, a perfect evening with bay windows open for full effect. Food inventive, bursting with flavours. Excellent wine list, loved the Italian choices by the glass.

The warm greeting at the door set the scene for an amazing long lunch. 'The trip through Italy' degustation was an amazing experience. Every dish was described to us by the staff and the flavores and textures of each dish were excellent. We didn't do matching wines but the sommelier recommended a great mid range wine from the menu.

An excellent 3 hour experience in a lovely setting. Couldn't ask for more.

The 7 course degustation ‘Trip through Italy’ menu was Devine. Service was impeccable as always. Omeggios is by far my favourite go to ‘Special night out’ restaurant.

The best Italian in Sydney by far. Highly recommended. Authenticy with nuevo cuisine, also BYO($15/bottle). A lovely location as well.

Fabulous !

The food, service and location 10/10

Back to Ormeggio for our 8 year anniversary, same restaurant where we met on our first date. Awesome! Beautiful setting and great food!

Everything was fantastic. Would highly, highly recommend. Thank you!!

The staff were friendly and helpful. Food was unique and surprising, and tasty. Will want to revisit.

Took my Wife here for here Birthday and ordered the Trip to Spain degustation menu. What an absolute experience and wonderful atmosphere. The location is wonderful and right at the waterfront, the service is top class. The food is excellent, one of the best in Sydney, each course was delicately put together it looks like pieces of art. Flavours were amazing, and so fresh! highly recommended!

Great 7 Course Degustation Menu experience. Added the pasta course with black truffles - amazing - and absolutely worth it !

A sublime dining experience. Every course a work of art, every mouthful a delight. The Trip Via Spain is a special culinary adventure, a monumental journey that delights the senses. We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to dine at such a magnificent restaurant.

Fantastic food, and extremely accommodating and informed staff. At a table for two we had one pregnant celiac diner, staff put a lot of thought in how to make the menu work best for her and went out of their way to accommodate changes. Look forward to returning.

Fantastic food and service

Great environment, very helpful with good services and yummy food! Must go back again!

Wonderful delicious food experience. Had the 5 course option which was sooo good!! Will definitely be back.
