Ormeggio At The Spit

We spent the 1st day of holiday enjoying the most beautiful view and fabulous food in Ormeggio at The Spit yesterday. After some struggles (everything looks so good! , we decided to go freestyle and save the set menu for another time. All the dishes were delicious and perfectly seasoned! My favourite was the octopus which was so juicy and tender. That hint of smoked flavour elevates it even more. I particularly appreciate it came to the table with a little stove with charcoal hitting up the flatbread. The scallop, scampi and the housemade crab pasta were very good too!l However, nothing can beat their famous lime sorbet with Italian meringue. That dish is soo refreshing and delicious and I miss that badly already! The portion was huge but I think it was food considering we didn’t order too many savoury dishes. It was a perfect way to end the lunch on a hot summer day! The service was very friendly and attentive. I even received a warm message (an hr prior my booking time indicating the traffic was heavy and care was needed when travelling. Overall, I think it definitely worths the price tag considering the high standard of food, customer service and the view. I cannot wait to go back!

Not sure about how their seafood is but eating as vegetarians, food was pretty mediocre. Thought we'd give it a try since my partner loves italian food. Service was pretty bad, very inattentive and ambience wasn't great. Extremely loud and hard to hear your loved one, lots of chatter and noise coming in all directions. We came here for a late valentines/anniversary with clear dietary requirements. None of those were accounted for and I had to explain everything again and the waitress then had to go and double check with the chef again. The food was hit and miss, My favourite was their brioche with mozzarella and their celeriac dish. Everything else I could've lived without. Their beetroot dish was erring on the side of fishy. I'm not sure if they accidentally served us a fish dish but it was very hard to eat but we didn't want to waste it due to our beliefs. A very poor dining experience, especially for the price you pay. If you are after a more romantic dining experience with more attentive and prepared service, skip this restaurant. There's nicer Italian restaurants out there in Sydney.

Ormeggio is best avoided. Here is an example of a fancy Sydney restaurant that has become wound up in their own self importance and forgotten why people come to restaurants. We were seated next to a loud table, the low ceiling and lack of acoustic treatment was an ever present annoyance. Some of the food was excellent. Some of the food was very poor. The tuna steak schnitzel was amazing and the stand out. Overall the service, the food, the lack of atmosphere for the money spent it's just not worth it. Shame really. And no one likes QR Code menus.

Excellent service, lovely food, and the best gelato ever! I've visited twice in the last few months (once set menu and once a la carte), and enjoyed myself very much both times. If it's your first time, the chef's selection set menu is a great choice. Views at lunch time are absolutely beautiful, especially on a sunny day.

Love the view and food. We ordered a set menu. We were lucky to have the weather clear up for us. We got moved to outside for dessert. The toilet is a bit of a funny one, because my friends and I have problems finding the door
