Chiosco By Ormeggio

I took my friend to this restaurant for a belated birthday celebration. We arrived at 6pm and decided to try the Chef's sharing feast priced at $65 per person, which seemed like a good deal. Since we were the first customers of the evening, we were seated right away and our food and drinks arrived promptly. We started with house made crusty sourdough with olive oil, followed by bruschetta, slow cooked veal in tuna mayonnaise, and crispy fried squid. The sourdough was too hard to eat comfortably, but the bruschetta and squid were delicious. I didn't love the veal with mayo, but it was tasty when eaten in moderation. For our mains, we had a tomato pasta with wagyu beef, grilled king prawns, an...

Took my boyfriend here for his bday. This is the sweetheart of the marina overlooking the luxurious boats on the wharf. The view at 6pm right through to the end of our meal n drinks by the water, was calm and picturesque. We ordered the calamari n prawns and that was yummy appetizing start to the dinner. The only draw back is that there was many more prawns and not much calamari. For the main we ordered the lamb shoulder. OH. This lamb shoulder was sooooo delicious tender; just sliding off the bone n the subtle roasted flavours of the lamb. <br/ As a special treat I asked them to bring out a tiramisu with a candle in it for my boyfriend. They brought out the raspberry pannacotta instead. I l...

Enjoyed the dinner in this small interesting Italian restaurant by the D'albora Marinas, at the Spit. We had air dried angus bresaola rocket parmesan as antipasti. We shared the mains; Charcoal spatchcock peperonata sauce with smoked capsicum rosemary and angus (marble 5 , caramelised onions with rocket.... and tiramisus for dessert!... with my typical double espresso.. of course : <br/ <br/ Capriccio bresaola was fantastic! Spatchcock and steak prepared perfectly... simple flavours makes a perfect dish when ingredients are respected as should.<br/ <br/ Tiramisu was a real honest tiramisu. Not any kind of new fancy version that is probably ruined with trying to be too fancy. Just loved it. K...

Came here for an early valentines dinner. Husband proposed after Dinner at Omeggio but it was closed so he booked Chiosco which is right next door. Beautiful location and good atmosphere. A much more relaxed boaty vibe. Food was well priced. The tasting menu looked appealing for $65pp but due to not eating red meat, there would be too many changes so we opted to order from the menu. Food was good in portion size. Everything was just ok, nothing amazingly special but just ok. Highlight for me was dessert. I'm a sweets lover and the tiramisu and Nutella Bombs were great! <br/ Waitstaff need more training. The one bloke with the glasses and shaved head, probably head waiter was excellent, asked...

Actual rating: 3.5<br/ <br/ Chiosco is the less formal branch of fine dining restaurant, Ormeggio at the Spit next door. We went for the set menu which was decent value at less than $80 for about 10 courses. My personal favourites: the gorgeous dark, crusty sourdough with a grassy olive oil; bruschetta with fresh cheese and anchovy; gnocchi with gorgonzola, pickled pear and walnuts; ricotta cannoli. Efficient service and food arrived quickly (could be slowed down, in fact). They were also very accommodating with dietary needs. It's a lovely setting overlooking the waters and is well protected from the elements, with excellent heating for winter dining.

Enjoying freshly shucked oysters with a delightful glass of white wine while watching the sunset over the boats at The Spit marina! I mean, where else would you rather be on a warm summer evening in Sydney? We were lucky to snag the best table by the water, despite booking just 10 minutes before. The restaurant was packed, but we still managed to feast on baby snapper with olives, grapes, and capers, as well as Black Angus with caramelized onions and rocket salad. And to top it all off, a delicious tiramisu. Who cares if the service is a bit slow? I'm relaxed and enjoying the sunset.

Casual little brother of Ormeggio next door... The food is great and deserves to be viewed in its own light and not that of the big brother... I loved the fresh bread, the smoked meats, the wagyu and mushrooms, and the mains were astounding... Save the chicken diavolo and beef for a finale!<br/ The staff we responsive, albeit sometimes missing on a very busy Saturday night...<br/ Overall, awesome, exceptional value, and we'll be back!!!<br/

We came to this restaurant for lunch and found it to be very peaceful, leading to excellent service. The food was enjoyable; I ordered pasta which was good, but the standout were the fries, which were incredibly crispy. Situated in a beautiful area of Mosman by the water, the restaurant is definitely worth a visit, especially for a pleasant walk afterwards. Réservez une table maintenant

I came here for a birthday, as they have a birthday offer available. We ordered one of the tasting menus and everything was absolutely delicious. The wine was matched very well to the meal, at the advice of the staff. The atmosphere was fun, feeling like we were sitting on a boat, without the bobbing. I really enjoyed my experience and will be back.

Nice Italian restaurant with great location by the water. During day time you can see the great view. Comfortable seating even though too close to each other and great food. Went for the Degustation menu and wasn't disappointed. Tasty and freshly cooked dishes, well decorated. Friendly service. Coffee wasn't that great though but probably personal.
