Never any faults with the food, service did take some time but in the end was an overall great experience for dinner with the family.

I decided to have lunch with a friend at Sittano's on NYE. For something that claims to be 'Modern Italian Cuisine', I was severely disappointed -- barely a hint of Italian whatsoever.

The food, simply stated, was sub-par. I will echo the sentiments of other reviewers: for the price you pay, you would expect better food. The cheapest meals start at approximately $15 and work their way up. I ordered a small vegetarian pizza, which in my opinion is a quaint dish, but somehow turned out unappetizing. There was an excess of raw spanish onions and pineapple, yet the mushrooms were virtually non-existent. The cheese tasted cheap and heavy, and there was barely any flavouring through spice or herbs. I've had authentic Italian pizza before, and this wasn't it. My pizza tasted like it was ordered off the Pizza Hut menu. Filling and sizable as it was, it was not worth the money.

The service was fine, but nothing outstanding. We were promptly greeted and seated, and even though I had difficulty making up my mind on my order, our hostess was polite enough to revisit us as we made up our minds. She also brought us water promptly after asking, which was appreciated. However, right after we were seated another waitress brought us our cappuccinos -- ones that we apparently ordered. Considering there were literally only two other couples in the entire restaurant, I thought this mix-up was a tad awkward. While I certainly didn't mind, it might have been a different story on a busier night.

Ambience of the restaurant was fine, if a little lackluster. The music was fine, playing some old-school tracks. Waiting for our food didn't take a particularly long time either. However, I really only needed one outing to discover that Sittano's is not my choice of restaurant in Penrith, and I will most likely not be revisiting. There was not a hint of Italian in the environment whatsoever, and the food -- which I consider most important -- was barely tasty. Perhaps other choices from the menu are better, but pizza is not terribly difficult to make delicious.

Hopefully other consumers will have a better experience than I did.

Approximate cost: $20

Thank you for yet another expertly crafted review. We appreciated the in-depth information that we have come to expect from you. Regards, Reeces

Tried this place three times now and wont go back. The food is poor quality in my opinion. I had trhe Bosciola and it tasted like it was made from a powder, Im sure it was. My partner had a steak and lobster and the lobster was pathetic and tasteless. I havnt tried the Pizza though and they look OK, I jst dont thin k Im prepared to go back and risk way overpaying for something not satisfactory.

The pizza's here are fresh and generously portioned. The service is quick and friendly. The restaurant is family run.

You can enjoy a nice relaxing lunch here on the weekend. Service was prompt with no hassles. Food was satisfactory and filling. Wouldn't mind coming here again.
