    For amazing food, wine and service Johnny Goes Italian is the place to go. We are never disappointed when we dine there and also have a good time. When Sydney is back to "normal" we will be back again!

    The restaurant is very cute and cozy and has a great atmosphere. I'd recommend for a date but it can be a little noisy

    Limited but excellent menu & wine-list. Service was excellent considering there was just one person at the bar and 'on the floor'. The mortadella was to die for and the snapper with clams was exceptional. Not a lot to eat, but who needs so much these days?

    This is my fourth visit in five months and each time we have had a great experience. Food choices limited but very good and different each visit. Excellent wines and Pete and his team are always attentive and friendly. Definitely one of my favourite dining spots in Sydney.

    The best food I ate on my four week trip to Melbourne and Sydney, really was delicious. Casual looking but food was really great

    Great food, service and value. Having been to Chester White and Buffalo Dining Club many times, I thought I should try their recently rebranded venue. It did not disappoint. Intimate venue, with a concise menu and great service that you expect from this group. Extra special value on a Tuesday night also with a bowl of pasta and glass of wine for $25. Will definitely be back!
