Ottimo - Hunters Hill

Quite an extensive menu for breakfast and lunch. We sat in the room at the back - and were clearly forgotten by the wait staff. Incredibly slow service which was highlighted by one of us getting up to refill wine glasses - twice. I don't eat out to serve my guests.The food was fancy and well presented but nothing was out of the ordinary. I thought the veal cutlet at $35 should have been accompanied by more than the ubiquitous rocket & parmesan salad with a few pine nuts and a tomato cut in half topped with fontina cheese (in this instance there was not any noticeable nutty flavour to the cheese). Mine meat was on the rare side of 'medium-rare'.The sardines on the other hand were golden fried and wonderful. The whiting was similar although the accompanying melon was not an overly sensible match.The risotto looked dry.Limited wine offerings on the menu.The restaurant was not full but the noise level from patrons was loud so on a packed night it would be difficult to have conversation. The Italian musac was terrible and suggest a new play list be a priority. And one that does not loop around during sittings.I wouldn't go out of one's way to dine here.

Excellent range of quality Italian style meals in a leafy location with indoor or outdoor dining. Good for romantic dinners or group celebrations.

Try and get to Ottimo's a few times a year ,we are not local but well worth the drive, excellent italian food , great atmosphere inside and out in courtyard, very nice staff, one of my favorite italian restaurants

We booked a table for 2 for evening of Sunday 13 August 2017. Parking was plentiful nearby. Table was near a door with some cold air drifting in - quite bearable. Restaurant was less than half-full. Service was good. Some Pasta dishes were unavailable. We first chose an entrée and that was quite good but lacked some finesse. Main dish: pasta each and that was very average. Dessert: some were unavailable. Our choice proved quite good. Overall impression: expensive, good service, average food (many dishes unavailable) and below-average value for money.
