la disfida

there's only one thing you come to la disfida for, and that's the pizza. we're talking thin crust pizzas dressed with only a smattering of topping, and baked in a traditional wood-fired oven. a firm favourite with locals, la disfida is the family-run pizz

rude, uninteresting food, noisy, why bother

like it? love it!. great service, unbelievable wine list, amazing new menu but same great pizzas. will definately be going back to taste some of the other great items on the menu. thanks for a great night.

autentico. obviously "sharynny" is accustomed to eating spaghetti bolognese else she would assess that la disfida, under new ownership, serves the sort of tasty, simple pasta you eat in any great trattoria in italy. and i should know, because i have just returned from living in italy for the past seven years. when we visited there in late january we shared some amazing antipasto, including a seared tuna drizzled in pesto and olives, and panzanella - a take on the tuscan dish of bread served with olives and buffalo mozzarella that is imported from naples. as for the pasta; that was delicious too, linguine with mussels and clams with a subtle garlic flavour (far too many restaurants here are heavy handed on the garlic) and my favourite pasta, penne with fried eggplant, tomato and baked ricotta with lashings of fresh basil. disregard "sharynny's" hastily written and unimaginative sentences, la disfida is the place to go for authentic italian fare in sydney.

shaza. visited on a hot night - not much cooling. the menu is very limited. did not order pizza instead several of the entrees. all cooked with a bottle of oil and no flavour including the pasta. staff attentive. would never visit again.

who likes this place???. after looking on a so called 'top 10 best pizza in sydney' i decided to try this place.. $70 bought me an ordinary pizza, a watery and tasteless mussel small pasta and a bruschetta that my little brother could have made.

i wish restaurants were like the movies, where if you dont like it, you can get your money back!

try customizing your order - i dare you!. i received a vexed 'no' when requesting a slight alteration from the menu for the pizza we ordered. try the same for a uniquely disagreeable dining experience. the pizza was ok - nothing to rave about though.

pizza was good but certainly not the best in haberfield. i had heard a lot about this institution and entered with high expectations. the ordinary service and average decor was a let down.

best pizza in sydney. no doubt about it. and for a great price too.
