fratelli paradiso

summer in a plate! the team at fratelli paradiso is super friendly and make you feel in italy. the food is honest and simple. great ingredients, nothing to hide! the burrata is a must and you will make no mistake by ordering any pasta dish.

the food i ordered was delicious. that was the reason i returned. however, some of the staff are not very nice and the customer service is poor. we were told that the items we were ordering were very expensive the way we wanted. hello! not once, but a few times when we insisted to have them. they didn’t put water, salt or pepper on the table. there were no smiles for us. our order was served on the same plate, even though we were two people ordering different things. my friend is vegetarian and because his culture no pork or beef food is acceptable. his order was on a small plate with my order, which contains pork items. they have only one size of coffee. we were left hungry for more coffee. by the time the food came the coffee was long gone. the customer service experience was bad. we are not returning.

excuse the blurry photos. came here for dinner and it was great! for entree we ordered stracciatella with tomatoes - this is a type of soft cheese. it was a really nice and refreshing flavour combo, which went well with the other dish we ordered which was a cured meat. we also ordered the calamari entree, which came with a tasty sauce. for main, we ordered the mushroom risotto, lasagna, and pappardelle with ragu. the tastiest pasta was definitely the risotto, followed by the lasagna. the pappardelle was a bit bland, i don't think it has enough ragu. for dessert we also had tiramisu which everyone loved, but i'm not really a tiramisu person! would return

if there's one dish that's not moving from the menu it's the calamari sant'andrea. and thank goodness. deep fried squid might be a dime a dozen across sydney, but few reach this level of perfect simplicity. there's just the right amount of crunch to the barely there batter, cloaked around extraordinarily fresh and tender squid.

when a joint offers only a handful of choices for brekky, more often than not, you are in for a treat. we were greeted warmly n immediately upon entering, water, glasses n menu on the table after ordering drinks. one of the lady waitstaff patiently explained what was on the menu as we were fish out of water when it came to italian. service 4/5.

they gotta be real confident when there is only a single egg item on the menu, the frittatina (4/5). and a veg omelette at that (groans*). zucchini, its flowers, some herbs n pecorino cheese. such a delicate dish, yet full of flavour. the piadina (3.75/5) wasnt far behind. a kind of ham and cheese toasted wrap filled w creamy stracchino cheese rocket n olive. the panino (4/5) was another winner. call it a divine sausage n egg roll w cotechino sausage lettuce n balsamic bbq sauce.

make it your brekky destination. or dinner, with a similarly focussed menu. cant wait to return.

had lunch here today and were a bit disappointed. calamari was nice enough but nothing special, lasagna had no flavour and was burnt both on the bottom layer and the top layer. service was almost nonexistent. food wasn’t worth the money we paid.

great ambience and history a true sydney institution from breakfast to dinner with service second to none. scampi pasta a must and try the cafe next door during the day

went to fratelli paradiso for a sunday dinner. we were given a table with no wait time. the waiter was helpful with the menu but was juggling 4 differnet tables and left service as something to be desired.. food tasted nice, however the proportions were on the smaller side. the greens were also very expensive for the amount that was given (see photo). the tiramisu was very delightful!

came on a sunday night after reading good reviews. there wasn’t a queue and we got a table promptly. menu was simple and just one page. food took a while to make but it tasted authentic. portions were not the largest but we were decently full. tiramisu was on point, probably the best we had. the waiter was helpful with recommending menu choices but wasn’t the most attentive. all in all, a pleasant experience for a chill night.

this restaurant has been on my list for a long time as many friends have recommended this place. i wanted to take my mum here to try their tiramisu and it sure did not disappoint.

we came here around 11.35am so sat inside for to relax and chat while we waited for lunch service which started
at 12. once we ordered, they brought out some bread with oil and then i ordered their scampi spaghetti which was tasty but not sure i would order that again if i was to go there again as i preferred my mums tagliolini with squid ink pasta, crab and chilli. we also ordered their salad but it didn’t come out even when we were more than half way through the pastas so we just cancelled the order. we were both getting full anyway and had high expectations waiting for their tiramisu and it was delicious! just the right amount of sweetness, richness and bitterness.

glad we got to try this place and tick it off my list.

new favourite place in sydney, unfortunately it does not take bookings. the ragu was really rich and the steak cooked perfectly. extensive wine menu, which the wait staff are well versed in recommendations.

tucked away in the quaint potts point is this lovely place! a friend of ours in sydney says that this place has a home in his heart, and boy he wasn't wrong! scampi pasta was delicious, so was the ragu we had. tiramisu was the best we have had so far too! only complaint would be the portion.. could've had a few more mouthfuls!

my once a week local. awesome italian in an awesome neighbourhood. amazing food, superb wine list, great service. the thing i love most is that fratelli is modern yet has all the traditions you expect. this place is a must.

i ordered the recommended scampi spaghetti. i liked how the seafood and tomato sauce combined superbly with the spaghetti and the scampi. however, this dish was not too difficult and you could probably do it at home too.

always love returning to fratelli for some fresh bread, pasta & dessert :) a classic restaurant, always well staffed & served, frequently on my to-visit-again list.
