Wow, living nearby is such a blessing because I 'm officially making this place my regular hangout spot! The Italian restaurant upstairs is a real treat, the pasta was sooo authentic and delicious. Also, the bar staff aren 't just mixologists; they 're comedians too I swear : 'D. They had my friends and me laughing all night. The whole vibe is just super welcoming and cozy. In a nutshell, this place is a must-visit. Amazing Italian dishes, hilarious staff, and a killer atmosphere. Five stars – no question!

We dined at Orto Italian upstairs in the pub, we had antipasto pizza and pastas. Sorry to say , basic Italian , anti pasta plate for that price was shameful (2 x mortadella pieces , 2 salami pieces , 2 cheese slices , some bread , some capers and olives , really even a store bought coles or Woolies antipasto plate would of been more Italian and filling. Pizza was a dining plate size and likely frozen and heated , base tasted like pre-made , nothing Italian about (it was a margarita dominoes pizza make better . The pastas, were passable for a pub pasta (small portion some flavour pasta inconsistent . The customer service is fine , the staff friendly. The Italian bistro food has so much potential and could be so much better with some effort , but sadly not this time. Pubs up the road in Redfern street are charging similar prices and food is generous fresher and flavourful (they don’t serve Italian , but it shows the difference when the chefs care about food and what you serve .
