Great little place for wine and some food. The menu is small but everything is good. Ive never had a bad meal here

A beautiful and romantic atmosphere the second you walk in with perfectly curated wines to match the pasta that’s made fresh.

I went with the Veg balls with red sauce and Smashed Mash (I think it was called that) with a glass or three of the Shiraz of the month and it was an explosion of flavour. Couldn’t get enough!

The Garlic Bread is Devine too!

An absolute must restaurant to try!

Loved the experience here. We came for a later lunch and we were delighted with the service and the overall quality of the food. One of the best meatball sandwiches I've ever had, and growing up in America, there is a fair bit of competition!
You can tell everyone from the server to the chef enjoy what they do and take pride in the restaurant operation. I'd definitely come back. The restaurant isn't huge but I'd say you could still host a group for lunch or dinner with a booking easily. Also has a good intimate atmosphere for a lunch or dinner date.

It's ok. Spaghetti meatballs was ok, but a little dry. Needed more sauce. Pasta was cooked aldente, when I prefer the pasta to be cooked more, but that was my fault for not asking

We went there before a football match. The quality of both the food and the service were quite good. Sitting at the bar was a different experience for me but my Canadian guests were quite at ease having a drink and a meal at the bar.

Good food and good service. However, portions are just way too small. Ordered the beef meatballs with polenta and felt like an appetiser.

The tender beef sliders are amazing! Definitely recommend! The garlic bread is so crisp and fluffy, the meatballs are delicious. I always get the red beef meatballs with mashed potato. EatClub has 30% off some days which saved me a lot of $$. I would say though, you do have work to get the staffs attention. They are very polite but maybe not attentive, especially if you sit outside.

Truly delicious and amazing flavours. Fantastic laid back and competent service.
Had the giant pork and veal meatball with gnocchi and red sauce. The gnocchi melted in my mouth. My friend had leftover sauce from the fish meatballs, and I demolished that, too.
The food was, for lack of a less crass expression, ORGASMIC.
Filling, fairly priced and so, so, so delicious. Good enough to compliment the chef in person.
I am still in my food coma at the moment and would write more about how damn amazing the food was if my vocabulary wasn't so hindered by the food euphoria. Oh my god, so amazing.

Interesting name that accurately reflects their menu. Lots of options available. Order the Spaghetti & Meatballs Chicken Meatball Sliders and Herb Bread. The spaghetti & meatballs was delicious the sauce was flavorful, pork meatball were seasoned well and the pasta was cooked perfectly. The sliders were very good. The chicken meatballs were tender and flavorful as well. This is a great place to grab a drink or two and enjoy the food.

Best meatballs I've ever had. I wish I can remember the name of the red wine of the week I had because it was phenomenal.

Tried to book for a Table of 9 at lunchtime and was told all patrons must have the mandatory menu and could not choose what type of meatball or menu item they want. Sent an email to ask if this could be slightly changed. No response. Customer service isn't impressive at all.

Like your meatballs with a dash of drinks to go along with. These meatballs are actually ridiculously well done, cannot emphasize this enough. Unfortunately the pastas don't live up to the hype, if they did it would definitely hit a 5.

Had dinner tonight.
Meatballs and spaghetti not enough sauce
Pork and veal meatball and gnocchi there was six small gnocchi and one small meatball with loads of sauce but not worth $28. Sauce was cold in parts.
Pappadelle pasta and chicken meatballs was nice.
Overall was okay but would not order gnocchi again. Over priced for the small portion dish
