"The food at Osteria Di Russo is delicious. The menu has a great selection of vegetarian options. Stand out dishes were oysters, zucchini flowers, prawn agnolotti."
I have wanted to visit this restaurant for quite some time and got an opportunity to book a table on a Sunday night around 6:30pm. The venue is dimly lit and the ambiance is very cosy, the main area wouldn't fit more than 25 guests and the vibe of the place seems perfect for couples or parties of four. We struggled with the menu as, despite being Italian cuisine, the menu features only a single pasta dish. Once we eventually decided on our meals, the staff rather forcibly suggested that we go with the Chef's 5 course menu as it would enable us to truly experience the menu. As we were in no rush and under no budget we decided to select this option (although it's worth noting that $60pp * 4 pe...

Recommended from a friend as local hidden gem, we came for dinner on Friday night. It's quite a popular place, from a large family group celebrating a birthday to couples on date night to singles sitting at the bar, the place is relax and familiar with a provincial European feel. Our group of 4 tried their Va Bene 5 course menu. It was a great start with the Octopus terrine, looked & tasted great, not something you usually see. The tuna next up was nicely seared on the outside, but still fresh & pink inside, the bean purée & greens were nice accompaniments. The third course was a capsicum based risotto, the rice was underdone, so grainy & hard, the sauce was too tangy & s...

We went last night to celebrate a friend's birthday dinner as a group. The ambience on the upper floor was beautiful - relaxing, classy yet not too formal. The service was the best I have had at any restaurant! The manager Mark served us and helped to create a beautiful 7 course for us and was friendly and gracious throughout. The most thoughtful part of their service - they made a whole separate degustation for my friend who was vegetarian, and they put candles on the dessert even without us telling them it was for a birthday. The food was delicious - especially the prawn pasta (such smooth silky texture), pork neck in milk (very tender), and zucchini flowers. My friends and I were so full...
Foul. Risotto rice undercooked. Far below par. Fish too raw. Set menu basic. Dessert a disaster. Wait staff brusk bordering on rude. Haven't been out in ages and thoroughly disappointed.
