Alberto’s is without a doubt, my absolute favourite restaurant in Sydney! The service is unparalleled and the food never fails to make me happy from the first bite. I had the privilege of celebrating my wedding reception at Alberto’s last November, and Emily (their Head of Reservations) was so patient and helpful during the whole process! On the day, the FOH staff decorated the space so beautifully and were extra attentive and super lovely! I also had my birthday dinner there recently, and Phoebe, Em and Sam made me feel super at home and made my birthday extra special :) I’m always looking for an excuse to come back!
Such a great find. Menu is limited but done really well. Service was excellent as well. I would highly recommend ordering the focaccia with olive oil, buffalo mozzarella, raw kingfish, Lumache al Forno pasta dish and the tiramisu.
To celebrate another anniversary with my partner, I treated him to Alberto’s, tucked away on a quiet street in the heart of Sydney. The ambience was cosy and vibrant, with great music and a funky touch that we both loved. Unfortunately, our table felt quite small, even for two people, which took a little away from the experience. The staff were excellent, they’re all friendly, attentive, and always happy to help. A special mention to James, who looked after us so well throughout the night. We also really enjoyed the Dottore Pepe cocktail and ended up ordering it twice. The food was good and full of flavour but didn’t quite have the wow factor we were hoping for. The Lumache al Forno was a letdown, with a smaller portion than expected and a spice level that overpowered the dish. Dessert was the standout. The tiramisu was rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced, making up for the main course.
Alberto’s is the best Italian restaurant I have been to in a while! The spanner crab pasta was succulent, topped flaky flavourful crab. Pasta was al dente and coated with a lighty umami sauce. The raw fish starter was fresh and delightful. The ambience was low lit and relaxing, perfect for weekend evening. There was a brief wait before we were seated, but Phoebe handled it very promptly and was very kind and helpful. Would definitely come again with dear friends or a date night!
Really cute spot with a great vibe. Pretty busy for a Monday night, full of young people, and the music gives the place such a good atmosphere. The fish crudité was super fresh, but the rest of the food felt a bit overrated. Tiramisu though… easily the best we’ve had in Sydney so far. Our Italian waitress (from Milan/Piedmont) was super detail-oriented, explained every dish, and made us feel really comfortable. Overall, a fun and lively place!
