Right opposite Forster beach. Well appointed with lovely gardens. Although not cheap, food and service top class, well worth the money. One small point, table water wasn't cold, not really good enough.

Very disappointing. Food was expensive and over sauced. My garlic prawns were drowned I sauce and a huge potato under the sauce and the prawns were rubbery. Very expensive for what you get. The garlic bread was nearly $10 for 3 pieces!! I would not recommend this place during holidays. Staff were like deer stuck in the headlights.
Wont be going back there.

I have been to a few of the Sicilian restaurants and the food has always been delicious. I'm sure this location would of been the same. Absolutely beautiful restaurant with fantastic views. Our first visit here and unfortunately didn't end up eating anything so can't comment on the food. The place was super busy with a lively vibe. We weren't shown to our seats, the waiter pointed and said your sitting over there. Table had menus, water but no glasses. We picked out food from the menu but not one waiter gave us any service. One waiter that obviously knew some of the people dining was chatting

Very disappointed with this restaurant. We initially tried to have some lunch here, we walked in and was not greeted by anyone - even though the wait staff were looking at us but still not saying a word or even acknowledging us. In the end we walked up to someone and asked them for a table. We were told to sit on a table while another table was being a cleaned for us, however the table we were put on was not clean at all. No one cleared away the table which we were meant to be sitting on for the whole 15 minutes we were sat there - still not being acknowledged by any of the staff and ended up walking

A nice atmosphere, a great location, unfortunately grossly understaffed the night we went, the staff however tried their best to please everybody.
Pricy menu, the food was good and well proportioned but nothing stood out as being exceptional. We have been there quite a few times over the years in a number of groups and everybody has had their own opinion.
