fratelli paradiso

fratelli paradiso is the decade-plus veteran italian eatery in potts point, not be be confused with the numerous fratelli fresh and their eateries, café sopra . well known for its all-day italian offerings, fratelli paradiso has garnered scores of local and other fans over the years of their casul, laidback yet sophisticated café/ trattoria offerings. blackboard menu at fratelli paradiso, challis avenue, potts point in the evening, the tables and chairs spilling onto the footpath are the first to fill, while the dark, intimate settings inside get packed throughout the night. the locals and regulars seem to know the drill and therestaurantseems to have little issue at all with its no reservations policy or italian-only blackboard menu. prosecco (front) and bellini (back) th

it is one of the popularrestaurantin potts point by both locals and regular visitors. looks always full during breakfast,lunch and dinner! friendly and accomodating stuff, humble decor and honest food! their dishes are always consistent. and best tiramisu in sydney! only downside would be size of portions. if they add 2-3 spoons more to every dish, that would be paradiso for every customer:)

thisrestauranthas 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.

hi

i went to fratelli paradiso on the recommendation of a friend.

it wasn't good. i'm vegetarian & there was one choice on the menu i could have, and that was an entree. the waiter said the chef 'could cook something up' which didn't inspire confidence at all - not a lot of thought, commitment or even basic respect.

i'm vegetarian as i worked in a chicken slaughter factory - it's my choice not to eat meat & i don't force that choice on anyone else ... but we're nearly in 2017, not 1977. whenever i experience something like this (thankfully rarely these days) i know there's a couple of reasons:

1. the chefs can't cook
2. they can't be bothered/aren't interested
3. they lack passion & drive

it's really lazy.

we ended up leaving & when i told the waiter he said we had to pay $5 for the water we'd ordered. talk about an insult after an injury!

we ended up going to yellow around the corner - i was with my 75-year old mum & aunt - & we proceeded to have one of the best meals we'd ever had. it was a really lucky break.

however our lucky break doesn't excuse poor menu choices or bad service. as said, it's nearly 2017 & fratelli paradiso think it's acceptable that vegetarians are 2nd class customers? not good enough not to have an informed menu?

sorry to be rude but they can't call themselves a goodrestaurant- it's bloody appalling & the worst experience i've had in quite some time.

a friendly and unpretentiousrestaurantthat serves amazing food through impeccable service! thoroughly enjoyed soaking up the relaxed atmosphere while sipping on wine. the kingfish crudo had excellent flavour and texture. the clam and spanner crab tagliolini was well-portioned and perfect in taste. the duck ragu tagliatelle was also delicious and full of flavour. can't wait to go back!

i normally write about new places i go to on this blog, but in this post i’m sharing a much-lovedrestaurantthat my family and i go to over and over again – because it’s amazing!. fratelli paradiso in potts point (not to be confused by fratelli fresh down the road). the menu at fratelli paradiso changes a lot, but you can always be sure that there’s a great selection of italian entrees, pasta and mains. i think one of their signature dishes is a pasta dish with scampi (my mum always gets that) but i prefer going for the dishes that don’t stay on the menu for long.

this was the best italian food i've ever had in my life. the service is one of the best i've ever had in australia. i came here because of the ratings and they really do rate highly. i recommend thisrestaurantto all. i will be back next time in the kings cross.

sydneysiders are often possessed with fomo, flocking to new restaurants and fads like moths to a flame. sadly, i can’t say that i’m exempt from this sweeping generalization. and the most unfortunate part is that more mature eateries like fratelli paradiso are sometimes overlooked. it’s taken me way too long to get here. and it was often because therestaurantdoesn’t take bookings. regardless, i made it, and i liked it so much that i went again the following weekend. it’s a busy, busy place in potts point, so get there early to avoid a long wait for a table.

i always enjoy my visit to fratelli paradiso as it is one of my favrestaurantin sydney. great meals in here! my favorite is still scampi spaghetti. tiramisu is one of the best i've ever had in my life. spritz is also great. they don't take reservation unfortunately and you just got to wait. it's worth it though.

we love this place. have been here numerous times. pork belly is always good as was the pork salad for mains not to mention the salmon salad. we ordered the prosciutto de palma & the polenta gorgonzola as an entree along with a couple of bottles of pommery which was cheaper than most restaurants considering what you can get it for down at the local bottle shop.

only qualms were i asked for the pork salad without currants which they couldn't do which makes me think it's all pre-made which isn't overly appealing. also we noticed how tired therestaurantis looking. this included the seating, the dirty ceiling near the air con vents and just a general look of fatigue......in need of an update.

quite a smallrestaurantand the food served is quite fast. however the taste of it is just average. as for the service is still acceptable.

really tasty food at affordable prices . attentive service and nice wine list . been around for a while , so is very busy but surprisingly not crazy noisy . great buzzyrestaurantin good location . theres just something about fratelli !

stunning meal. the only thing i can say is you have to come here and try their lasagna and scampi spaghetti! they are the best and i will definitely go back to thisrestaurantjust for those two dishes anytime i visited sydney.

average food, poor service. i went to thisrestauranton a recommendation of a friend. i had the veal and vanilla ice cream mousse, it was good, but not great. the atmosphere was rushed and the waiters were rude. overall, not worth going to.

it’s arestaurantwith a café look on the outside, murals on the wall, gorgeous dark wooden tables, a menu in italian written in chalk on a blackboard (the waiters explain it to you, with a cute italian accent, so there are no surprises), and a stunner of an italian wine list (hand selected by the owners on their frequent visits to italy). fratelli is a cultural icon, its quality italian food, casual limited fuss atmosphere and a gorgeous people watching spot.
