la disfida

read so many reviews before taking my man out for his birthday here and it did not disappoint!! we ordered calamari and fried zucchini, rigatoni with lamb, cheese prosciutto and truffle pizza and the usual tiramisu for dessert. the calamari was agreatstarter and the fried zucchini was surprisingly nice and sweet. the lamb was so tender and went well with the rigatoni. we weren’t a fan of the truffle so it kind of ruined the pizza. otherwise still nice. and the tiramisu was unique- super creamy and very strong coffee flavour. overall this place hadgreatcustomer service and is very family friendly! a bit on the expensive side but it was worth it.

great pasta with nice ambience andgreatservice. had the pasta on specials, and was not disappointed. portion size a little smaller, so have more entrees if you are starving!

my favourite italian restaurant in sydney. anything they put tomato sauce on turns to gold.

the struggle is deciding what to order. every time i go i make an effort to choose something i've had before and something different but every time i do i find something new that i have to order again.

service is alwaysgreattoo.

if the eggplant is on the specials menu get it. the best gnocchi in sydney, maybe even the world so get that too. the fig salad, you better get that as well. i wouldn't leave without eating a stuffed zucchini flower and you'd better not either.

if you're looking for authentic italian food, la disfida is the place to visit. every meal was delicious and cooked with love. this is the difference between italian andgreatitalian food. attentive service, home style traditional food andgreatwine, there's not much more you could ask for. there's also an endless selection of specials to choose from and always an excuse to revisit and try something new.

although i'm not a fan of "two sittings" restaurants, i'll make an exception here because we were allowed to book for our table of 8. the food was super tasty and fresh and we could order additional portions for entree dishes to get equal shares per person. service wasgreatand food arrived in perfect intervals to share.

a little taste of italy..close your eyes and you may believe you are in napoli..superb foodgreatservice, the only thing missing is the checkered plastic table cloths....pizza bases are light and perfectly cooked, pasta sauces authentic, and the grappa is super special. this one is definitely worth a visit.

its a saturday night and people are waiting out the door so i exercise the takeaway pizza option. quick service considering the how busy this place shakes. i took away three pizza and they were all fine morsals. very traditional in that they are thin and sparely topped, which i prefer. the produce was quality and sauce subtlety sweet and very tasty.greatspot, even with the abrupt bossman

love this place!!greatpizza and quick service!! definately recommended! it's always very busy so sometimes take away is the best option! still tastes yummy as take away

started with a lovely light duck pate followed by agreatpizza and topped off with delicate almond semifreddo. the dinner most certainly lived up to the expectations accompanied bygreatservice. i will definitely be back.

absolutely delicious! we had mix of dishes including, pizza, antipasto and salads. very attentive and fast service.greatambience. so italian! we stumbled across this place but we'll be back! family took a vote whether to rate it 4.5 or 5 - how can it be 5 unless perfect? but a 5 rating won the vote! well done!

they servegreatmeals and the service is very good. their pizzas are the best we've had, tasty, good size andgreatcrust. we've been going to la disfida for years now and they are always consistent. keep up the good work, there are lots of customers who appreciate it.

best italian i have had in a long time. 6 of us and 2 kids all left full and happy, servicegreatas well. best on that strip by a country mile, and really spectacular food for the price.

calamari excellent.greatlocal pizza place. calamari was excellent. service was quick & impressive.

named a number of times in the controversial (because people will always complain that their favourite pizza place hasn't been included etc etc)  'best pizza in sydney' lists, is la disfida, an italian restaurant in haberfield. the restaurant is situated on the main road in haberfield and encompasses two levels, but even so, the place gets quite busy and it's best to make a booking. on this cold night friday night, we made a booking for 6 at 8:15pm - a relatively late booking but gave everyone enough time to get there. we sat down, ordered some drinks and then browsed the huge selection of menu items before ordering a plethora of items. insalata caprese (fresh tomato & mozzarella di bufala, basil & e.v olive oil) -$18 - light cheese and tomatoes - a palate cleansing start to the meal. apparently this tastes like what they serve in italy... salsiccia e funghi - tomato mozzarella, pork sausage and wild mushrooms - $24 -greatpizza! delicious toppings with a thin ba

great night out. went there on saturday night with a bunch of friends - quick service,greatfood, only just slightly put off by the way one of the waitresses, perhaps the owner, was yelling at all her staff, wasn't all that pleasant to watch! but seriously good food, definitely worth getting dessert!!
