Enjoyed a special meal and decided to leave our BYO at home to sample something different from the wine list and glad we did. Shared an imported Chianti and a Nero D'avola with our

The food was great and the restaurant had a good buzz about it. The service was ok but at times did go missing. The waiter’s thick Italian accent all seemed a little put on and ove

This little eatery had been recommended by a friend. When my son asked for Italian food I decided we’d try it. From the phone call and warm welcome then a perfect negroni cocktail,

Great tasting food and warm friendly service. Definitely pasta and fish dishes are the best options - all really tasty. The steak is underwhelming. Desserts stunning. BYO

This restaurant offers a point of difference in that despite being Italian, the food is not your typical Italian mainstream choices, and is a bit more innovative in terms of the menu on offer.

About the restaurant

Bellissimo Italian amongst the north shore burbs

Via Alta. It's the kind of restaurant that you will kill to have in your local burb. A friendly, welcoming spot that's open lunch and dinner, and absolutely nails boisterous memorable Italian cuisine. Yep, you definitely want this trattoria in your hood. Scan the big blackboard menu and begin the difficult task of choosing (good luck!): fritto misto of prawns and calamari, veal ossobucco with saffron and gremolata, baked baccala pie and crumbed and fried Milanese meatballs... the list goes on and on. In our opinion you shouldn't miss out on the meatballs, these bad boys are insanely irresistible and gobsmackingly good. Via Alta is the first bambino of Alessandro Pavoni (of the two hatted Ormeggio at the Spit) and Bill Drakopoulous (of Sydney's Restaurant Group and Aqua Restaurant Group) who joined forces to bring much needed Italiano life to the north shore dining scene….Bellissimo!

Best dish: mondeghini - crumbed and fried Milanese meatballs made with scotch fillet, mortadella and Italian pork sausage, piled into a tall metal cone lined with brown paper.
