Machiavelli Ristorante Italiano

Italian food at its finest! Absolutely everything is excellent here. From the service to the ambience but the food is just incredible. Have been coming here every year for the past 21 years! I can highly recommend this place.

I wasn’t impressed for the taste of the food even if was not cheap at all. The location is also a bit strange , because is underground…. the toilets are so old and doesn’t match with the price we paid for the food. Also surcharging 10% for a table of six and 2% surcharge for credit cards payments.
Would be nice with all those surcharges the food was better taste.
Not impressed at all.

Had a dinner with a large group of us for my birthday. We were running late due to some issues and the staff were so understanding and lovely about it. The staff were so accommodating, sweet and funny!
We all had a few different drinks and pastas and we all were in awe! I had the Napoletana gnocchi and it was the most beautiful gnocchi I’ve had in my life honestly. Would 100% recommend to anyone thinking of going!

First restaurant to visit when back in Sydney. Pasta here is delicious. It doesn’t quite seem to be at the level when run by the old guard, but still really good. Smooth gnocchi in flavoursome cheese sauce, unbelievable seafood broth pasta, and a sweet spanner crab pasta. The minute steak wasn’t to the level for the price, and I miss the zabaglione that used to be made at the table … But it is all about the pasta here for me now.
Professional waiters and crisp linen. Nice

Absolutely incredible Italian restaurant. I came here last night for my Wife’s birthday and everything was outstanding.

The food was brilliant. I love pesto pasta and I asked our wonderful waiter if the chefs could make it as it wasn’t on the menu and they did. It was spectacular!!!!

I haven’t had pasta like that since I was in Italy.

We were served by Davida a lovely Italian man from Sardinia who made sure my Wife was looked after in every way.

My wife is pregnant so she wanted a Mocktail that again wasn’t on the Menu and Davida made sure she got something yummy.

Machiavelli is slightly more expensive than most Italian restaurants, however this is completely justified as the presentation of the food, service and taste is clearly a cut above the rest.

I have been all over the world and this has to be one of the best dining experiences I have ever had.

Davida was a brilliant waiter that was thoughtful, caring and completely assertive making sure we had a wonderful time.

I thanked our Chefs as we left and they were too lovely gentlemen.

I will be back!
