Location is ok but noisy outside during the day (traffic). Service is average. Servings are generous but quality could improve with some added chef-finesse. Coffee is 7/10. They need to be aware of the competition in this space or the future may be difficult.
Absolutely terrible. Staff more disorganised than I had ever seen for a restaurant that had been there for so long. No one at our table enjoyed their meal. The sauces for the pastas were flavourless and almost certainly store bought, as were the pastas. A side of sardines were from a can and more suited as a salting ingredient than a side. The chicken parmi came with three small potatoes and a half assed side salad. Absolutely zero love went into any of the dishes. Never going back and will actively discourage people from going here in the future.
Good location, fairly good sized meals however took a while to get served after they took our entre and drinks order. We received our entre and weren’t asked if we were ready to order for about 15 minutes
I’m a frequent occupant of Cafe Amarettos however the last several weeks/couple months I’ve been so disappointed. I don’t know whether they have a new chef/cook, or they’re under new management but their standards have absolutely slip compared to me starting to go 3 years ago. I always get the Fettuccini Con Gamberi, without fail, I do always waiver sometimes to a new dish but this one is my ultimate favourite and my partner orders the Gnocchi. Now the last 7 times I’ve come around the prawns have been overlooked or undercooked so the prawn was so chewy or just so rubbery that it doesn’t taste like seafood but rather it tastes like chicken. I’ve kept my mouth shut a few times because the pasta itself is quite delicious without it, but ultimately I’m paying for the MASSIVE prawns they put on my plate.I’ve told the waitress a few times only now, and each time I got an excuse that it was the type of prawn or the season, or the fact that it’s the weather and somehow that impacts the way the prawn is cooked. I’ve recently decided to give them one more chance: because I’ve been a frequent goer for a long time and sometimes people just have bad weeks. I ordered the dish once more as a takeaway and my partner ordered the Gnocchi. Again the prawns were over cooked so much that they literally just were tasteless. The sauce seemed to have so much oil it was ridiculously visible in the sauce. Unfortunately this doesn’t cancel out the fact that I like the dish for itself. Will not be returning and Cafe Amarettos have lost long time customers and their family members. Such a shame.
Food was almost inedible. We ate it because we were starving. Went with a large group, staff were very rude. I had the barramundi which was awful. Dry and tasteless. Clearly using frozen fish. Not one person at the table enjoyed there meal. Never returning, would rather have spent my money at a restaurant I enjoy.
Worst service ever received young waitress sat us down and gave water. Had my 3 year old niece with me and 2 others. Didnt give my niece a glass or a plate and said she would be back. All we wanted was some coffee and cake and waited for 15 minutes. Still the 2 staff members serving just avoided eye contact and our table completely. We tried to wave her down and she nodded angrily at us and never came. Ended up just walking out – there were only 4 other tables in the whole restaurant with people so i dont really understand what they were doing that was so much more important. Clearly customer service isnt of importance at this place.
Often our table is forgotten about and we need to approach the front desk just to get our orders taken, especially if dining outside. Food is average Italian, coffee is nice. Very noisy inside when busy.
