Came here recently for a very late lunch (at around 3pm), which is probably why we received amazing service. Our pastas arrived in a very timely fashion, and were delicious. The waitress who looked after us was very attentive, happy, and helpful, which was a real delight. I've been here during busier times, where the wait's a fair while longer, but the quality of the food is just as good.

Whilst the service was brilliant from the waitress, and the food was delicious, it did take about an hour to get our main meal. We went for lunch and it was very busy, when your on a time frame you can't afford to be waiting that long. All in all though I enjoyed my experience and would go back

Jamie's Italian is a production by Celebrity Chef Jamie Oliver. It's a hard place to get a seat in Sydney but serves up some great food from a very diverse menu. From amazing pastas to seafood and burgers they have something for everyone. I also noted the prices were very reasonable on my visit. The Jamie's Italian Burger consists of Wagga Wagga beef, fontina cheese, pancetta, soft lettuce, tomato salsa, dill pickles, chilli, and fried onions. A soft bun that supports the burger well complements a tender piece of beef. The seeds on the bun and other seasoning give the burger a nice herbal flavor making the burger worthy of its Italian name. The combination of the cheese and onions with the spices make each bite an exploration for your taste buds and puts this burger among some of the best I've eaten. 

Approximate cost: $30

Very nice italian style restaurant by Jamie! The pasta is quite homemade style, I like it! This is a great place for atmosphere, service and perfectly simple Italian fare. my friend ordered the squid/octopus ink pasta, and she absolutely love it. Will return again to try other dishes!

Did you have to wait very long for a seat? I heard they don't do reservations

we went there early for lunch, so it is not too crowd. Weekends is difficult to book(try to book 2 month before), weekday booking is easier, either online or call.

This is an amazing restaurant. I have been here 3 times so far. The food is delicious and fresh and has Jamie Oliver written all over it. The restaurant décor is very good - you would think you were somewhere in Europe. The service is very good and fast. You have to queue for a table as they do not take bookings for groups under 6. For city dining and the quality of the service and food, the price is very reasonable.

We came and The waitress told me that we had to wait for half hour. It was full of queue outside. When we got into our table upstair, i was surprised that the restaurant was pretty much empty, only the 1st floor was packed.
The place is really dark that make you extremely hard to look at the menu. I ordered the burger and it was big and tasty.
chopping board and sardine tin was used as serving plate.

Approximate cost: $17

I just loved everything of this place. The whole place has this big warehouse, rustic/industrial vibe. We were seated in the ground floor and we could see the frantic open kitchen where chefs were busy preparing food. There was an upper floor above us as well. The tables upstairs and down were all metal with graffiti walls, wire mesh and copper pendant lights.
The service was awesome as when we were seated, we were given menus, water glass and a jug of water. I was delighted to find the prices very reasonable. We ordered Sweet Mini Chilli peppers, stuffed with whipped ricotta, mint & lemon and Crispy Squid, fried squid served with really garlicky mayo & lemon. The size of the squid was not that big but for the price and as an entrée, they were fine. The most important part is that they were delicious.
As we finished the entrée and the table was cleared and while we were waiting for our main we got homemade Rosemary Focaccia Artisan Sourdough, Ciabatta & Tortano from their bakery Crispy Carta Di Musica. It was on the house and the timing was perfect. They were nice with olive oil and herbs on them.
For the main I ordered Osso Bucco Milanese which is an Aussie lamb cooked overnight with tomatoes, saffron, wine & herbs, served on oozy polenta Bianca and my husband had Tuscan Wild Boar Sausages which is juicy red wine & fennel sausages served with a warm, minty lentil salad & salsa rossa piccante.
After the main, we ordered their famous Tiramisu which is a coffee-flavoured trifle with orange mascarpone & chocolate. As a non-coffee and alcohol drinker, I found that it had more coffee and alcohol than most tiramisu I have had.
Overall very very happy with the place and everything there.

Went all out here ordering nibbles, main and a dessert, with an hour wait for a table we spent a good two hours eating. Was so enjoyable here though the time flew. A a few things were a bit salty but totally delicious. Loved the caramel ice cream and the nachos were pretty cool, impressive prices as well. Can't wait to go back and try the burger, looked massively awesome.

Overall a great place to dine at. The dishes are a bit hit and miss. Opted for a few smaller dishes rather than having one large dinner. The truffle risotto was a bit bland for my taste. Dessert was great. Drinks were also really nice - lemonade was excellent. Overall satisfied.
