Absolutely love relish. They have a range of salads and pastas which change quite often, so you wont get bored of the same thing. Their pies, quiches and samosas are great also, however I found the samosa to be a little too spicy for my liking. Am yet to try the desserts!

Approximate cost: $6-12

I was lucky enough to head down there when it was wasnt busy, as I've often seen the line out the door (literally). Zumbos macaroons are to die for- passionfruit's a favourite of mine!

Great idea, considering dogs are not usually welcome at cafes! Wonderful coffee and a place where you meet extremely pleasant people and their dogs. They should introduce more dog cafes around sydney!

Quite a small venue, however the ambience is great. We were greeted with a smile, great service and authentic food. The portions are decent for what you pay.

Great little cafe conveniently located off the Bay Run. Have only tried their coffee, which I loved, but am yet to order lunch. Its almost always full, so you're lucky to get in. Lovely view of the bay.

It was absolutely fantastic- I truly felt as though I was eating a meal in Italy! The Ravioli and Verdi Pizza have to be my two favourite dishes on the menu. With generous portions and extravagant toppings I'll happily return :)

This review is for Sizzling Court, Bankstown NSW

I was actually quite disappointed with Sizzling Court, having been told by friends that it was a great restaurant. The food was average, but the San Choy Bow, and mixed veggies were stand out dishes for me. We dined on a Sunday night, so predictably, it was quiet and the service was quick, however not accurate. Although the staff were friendly, we had to ask three times before our prawn dish came out, and even then, we did not receive an apology for their error. We also weren't too impressed with our drinks being taken away when they were not finished.
I would be willing to dine again, as their flavours were spectacular, just a let down with the service.

This review is for Barbarz Italian Kitchen, Concord NSW

We went for a meal here and were very surprised with how busy it was. Being a small restaurant, inside is very noisy and crammed, however the staff are still friendly and well presented.
I ordered the gnocchi and was quite happy with the averaged sized, yet beautifully tasting dish. Gnocchi is often hard to master, however these guys got it right.

Approximate cost: $22

This review is for Mani Italiane, Haberfield NSW

Mixed feelings about my experience at Mani. The pasta with eggplant was absolutely delicious, cooked to perfection and bursting with flavour! However our the base of our Margharita pizza was raw and quite unpleasant. The staff were friendly and attentive. There was live music (an italian man playing his accordion) which for me was rather annoying, however others did seem to be enjoying it. We ended with a creme brulee for dessert - it was the most fantastic sweet I have ever tasted. Probably would return for a pasta dish and dessert.

High quality Italian meals. Loved their pizzas and marinara pasta, all bursting with flavour. Lovely little restaurant with pleasant staff members. Will definitely be a returning customer.
