Alfredo Authentic Italian Restaurant & Underground Cocktail Bar

We came here for dinner on a Saturday evening and the place was very busy; almost every table was booked. The ladies serving our table were welcoming and friendly.

Food wise, we ordered the antipasto della casa (selection of cold meats, bocconcini cheese, and pickles) for appetizer which was decent. For mains, we got the melanzane ripiene (pasta, ricotta and pesto wrapped in eggplants and ham) which was so tasty, and the spaghetti with tomatoes and fresh mix seafood which was also very delicious. For someone like myself who doesn’t particularly enjoy Italian cuisine, it was a delight.

The atmosphere was very nice that evening, the restaurant was warmly lit and felt very cozy. There were several birthdays, and everyone was singing for the birthday people.

“Cosy little Italian establishment tucked away in the heart of the Sydney CBD. It has history & you can sense it the moment you walk in. This is a fantastic traditional Italian restaurant. The service is speedy, the food is fresh and perfectly flavoured. Every dish that was served looked spectacular, every dish I ordered was perfect, it hit the spot. Highly recommend the pistachio cheesecake. Family owned & run, thats how you are treated. Have done many Italian all over Sydney, this place is definitely a hole in the wall, its the best of both worlds. This is like having fine dining at home. Just to reiterate you need pizza to have fabulous Italian By far the best Italian in Sydney, Bravo”

We walked in just before they closed and the kitchen was nice enough to still prepare our meals.
The food was so good and the service was outstanding too.
Much appreciation for them accommodating us so late at night

Visited this restaurant on a friend’s recommendation and what a delightful experience! Nestled just a short walk from Circular Quay, it’s quite the hidden gem. We didn’t make a reservation, but luck was on our side as we secured a cozy spot in the bar section downstairs. We’d heard rave reviews about their traditional Italian cuisine, and boy, they didn’t disappoint!

Our octopus starter was sensational and perfectly cooked. As for the pastas, we tried two; the penne with a creamy white sauce, spinach, and scallops was an absolute showstopper! The ravioli with a red sauce was delicious as well. For our main, we opted for the lamb legs, which were succulent and cooked to perfection. A culinary journey I’d happily embark on again!

Stumbled upon this restaurant completely out of the blue by looking around on Google Maps, and so glad that I did!

The restaurant looked like something out of a New York movie, it was very cute! The staff were also very attentive.

Loved the food, felt very authentic and full of flavour. So keen to come back here and try the tiramisu!
