Passeggiata 318 Bronte Road, Waverley, New South Wales 2024

"Had a really nice meal. We shared a few dishes. Everything was great but the prawn pasta and veal were standouts. We weren’t sure what wine to have and the wine suggested by the staff was great and complimented the meal perfectly. The tiramisu was the best I’ve tasted"

"Although I booked well in advance and turned up on time, staff gave our table away as they were busy and instead asked us to use the upstairs overflow area where no one else was sitting! Solved by having to wait 10 min till a table became available. Food was great though!"

"Fantastic food! Great service. We shared a number of starters and pastas paired with a delicious bottle of red. The staff were really helpful with the menu and attentive. Definitely worth checking out! Lovely vibe"

"First thing I noticed was fit out- love the lights. We were greeted with 'buona sera`, loved the food with great vegetarian options for my wife. We'll be back again!"

"I’ve been meaning to post my review for a few months now. We went to dine at Passegiata in December 2022 - as a celebration of our engagement. As locals in Waverley, we had been watching this restaurant develop over the last 12 months and had really been looking forward to the opening, as a nice upmarket local Italian restaurant. But unfortunately the first time we went, will probably be the last. The food was excellent, but the service was horrendous, and for the overall experience this place is overpriced. Setting the scene: We were sat at a table next to entrance that had shared bench seating along the wall. The restaurant looks nice, nice furniture and finishings. Once we ordered our food and entrees were served, the chef made rounds in the restaurant and started sitting on the bench next to us, sitting on my partners phone and keys without apologising and making conversation with the guests sitting next to us. It felt a little intrusive of our personal space - even if he didn’t speak to us - he was very close to us and it was quite disturbing. As we finished our entrees, the dishes weren’t cleared for a long time, and even when the main was served, the dirty dishes were still on the table. This resulted into a messy situation whereby the waitress had to go place our main dishes on the counter and clear our table before serving us our main dishes. This made us feel really awkward. I wasn‘t given new cutlery and it took the waitress probably 5 min to go fetch some after my main dish was already served and sitting in front of me. At the end we just wanted to get out of there as soon as possible. Luckily we had a beautiful day celebrating our recent engagement with other activities and didn’t let this experience ruin our special milestone."
