We had dinner after seeing a second movie at the Entertainment Quarter this cafe has replaced Cine that used to be on the same site, new owners different style, but same interior. It appears more posh when you go in and the decor is Italian sheik but the outdoor tables are in keeping with a few restaurants along this strip, dull, useless and uncomfortable. I had my leg pressed up against a bench leg and it wasn't painful just uncomfortable and detracted from the whole pleasant diner experience that I like to go for, or if you follow my reviews you'll hear me refer to it as the Vibe.
The greeting was fast efficient and we sat outdoors, a tad cool but that's Ok they have gas burners, which ads to the ambience. The service was good and the Pizza I had and the roasted vegetable paste of my erstwhile friend delicious in his words. The wine was exquisite and apart from the table it was generally very nice, and having eaten here three times when it used to be called Cine, it was also a vast improvement.
There are plenty of restaurants to choose from in The Entertainment Quarter, none of them can afford to rest on their laurels or become complacent, the Customer is King.

Approximate cost: $30.00

This place does a range of typical Italian food, including pizzas and pastas. The food comes out pretty efficiently and is pretty good. Only thing i dont like is the outdoor seating which is on long benches, picnic table style, which is obviously hard to get in and out of in a skirt!

Approximate cost: $20-30

Dined here before going to a concert at the Hordern Pavilion one night. The food standard was mixed...my pizza was very enjoyable but my partner's fish and chips was lacking in flavour, perhaps because it is an Italian restaurant after all. The service was not very friendly but it was fairly quick. Great for a quick bite before heading out somewhere else in the area (i.e. movies or concert). Very casual, relaxed atmosphere.
