Where do I start. So we had a booking for 8pm on Saturday 12th June. Even with a booking we were told to turn up 15-30 minutes early (we were a bit unsure why). So we turned up at 7:25pm and told to stand in line with around 20 others ahead, and soon after,maybe 30 behind us. Thought this was bad form as we we had an interstate reservation. So eventually we are in and ushered to small bar tables (us and two teens) and told to wait. After 15 mins and a couple of reminders to passing maitre-d staff ordered two drinks. BANG! At 8pm in a Saturday night they are out of their two Tap Beers (one being Peroni, reminder this is an Italian restaurant). So after after about 35 mins (remember we had an actual booking) and twice reminding staff that there was 4 of us, not 2 (after twice being told our table for 2 was ready), we were seated. So the service was very slow. Excuse, we are busy. It's Darling Harbour, Saturday night, on a long weekend. Hello, not our problem. One Starter meal never turned up, one main never turned up, wife's main was wrong meal (veal limone instead of saltimbocca), my veal parmigiana - tough as boot leather, no eggplant topping per the menu, no side of mash as ordered, vegetable medley was almost raw, as if all vege had been steamed less than 5 mins. All in all an extremely disappointing dining experience. Small main servings, missing items, wrong dishes, very slow service, poor excuses for poor service/standards, highly overpriced wines. Would not ever recommend this place to family and friends. I'm sure there are 100 times better Italian restaurants around Darling Harbour. Avoid this place at all costs.

Expensive, but you get what you pay for - really high quality pastas and the service is excellent. A bit of a wait on my food but it was worth it

I find this place to be popular among alot of people i know but for me personally, the pricing is a bit on the steep end. Nearly $30 for a pizza that took quite a while to arrive. Waiters were nice enough, was very busy here, and premises were clean.

So well known amongst my friends etc as they have delicious food. Great pricing considering the menu and the area. Good servings and a nice representation of italian food.

Really enjoy the dining experience in this place. the food was really good and the service was excellent. I was using a scoopon voucher but the service and the quality still stay the same. Highly recommended to you all

Approximate cost: $50

Crinitis is a staple for good italian cuisine. The food is always spot on, however the prices are a little high. Woolloomooloo is our favourite one however Darling Harbour also has lovely views.

Approximate cost: $35

Absolutly love love love this italian restaurant even though people complain about their prices to be honest I'm always happy to pay the amount on my bill, the reason bring is that its clean delicious quality italian food with excellent staff and service plus a great view of darling harbour (if sitting outside)
...its not very often you get friendly staff, exceptional service, amazing traditional food with a great view while dining all at the same place.

Criniti's is an Italian restaurant with a large menu selection, however I find that the food is overpriced for what it is and for the price it tastes quite average. Nothing on the menu has ever wowed me. The food is not terrible but it is not spectacular either. Service is usually very slow and the food takes ages to come out. Once I waited close to 30 minutes for a bottle of table water!! These days I only end up here if I am with friends and they insist on going there, I never initiate the visit myself.

Pricey Italian and other western cuisine restaurant. Came here for a work lunch and most of us agreed pizza price of $28+ I a bit tool pricey. Ended up with a burger that came with chips for about $20. Not bad. The staff were friendly and the views were spectacular of darling harbour.

I think all of my experinces have been diffrent, though i love there food it has come out late a few times but otherwise the service is ok. A very relaxing outdoor setting. Best place to go for a quite night in the city, on weekdays.but on weekend they can be quite busy and take forever to get the food out. But never had a bad experience otherwise.

Approximate cost: $30
