A very popular Italian restaurant - expect long queues if you arrive at peak time, however we secured a table immediately after 9pm. Fast paced, with friendly staff, we enjoyed 3 dishes amongst three of us - the scamorza cheese with 2 sides (mushrooms & eggplant), a salad and spaghetti which is served from a huge wheel of cheese. Red wine available by the glass. We'll be back!

Approximate cost: $30

Buffalo is a small space in Darlinghurst that serves "more traditional" Italian food. The food here is seriously delicious. Quite simple in its style, but so full of flavour and perhaps the type of food eaten in homes across Italy.

Staff are friendly and happy to offer suggestions on the menu if you need it.
