Visited this restaurant as part of date night and we loved the decor, just like Nonna's place with the mismatched old plates and glasses. Ate outside as warm night, beautiful atmosphere, candles. Service was amazingly prompt and very friendly to the point of removing a bug from my glass of wine. Dishes on smaller side but this was good as left feeling content and not over full.

Approximate cost: $100

Ruby Red is our new family favourite. We dropped in for a relaxed Friday lunch and were greeted by smiling staff, a relaxed quirky décor and an exciting blackboard menu. The best thing about this place is that you can try lots of different things because the serve most dishes in entry and main sizes and encourage you to share. Our kids had the veal canolloni, and we had 4 starter sizes servings including a tasty Calamari Arancini, antipasto, lamb cutlets crusted with herbs and a veal scollipini with a rich porcini mushroom sauce. This along with drinks all for $100 is excellent value. The only downside to this restaurant is that they do not take bookings which makes it hard to plan, but it is worth the effort.

Approximate cost: $28

Wow! Love this place. Have been meaning to try it out for ages and finally did. The place is barely recognisable as the old
Manse. Groovy décor and friendly, relaxed service. We arrived at around 7pm on a Friday night and had a 45 minute wait. Gave us time to go to the pub for a drink and to buy some wine as we were thrilled to see corkage was only $12. Food was amazing, especially the eggplant pasta, the salmon carpaccio special and the polenta. Lots of options for dietary requirements (we had vegetarian and gluten free) and great for sharing. Service could have been more prompt at times but they were incredibly busy and nothing was too much trouble when asked. jAnd the price?? We had five sharing plates, two desserts, four coffees and two corkages - $160!! Will definitely be back.

Loved the location went on a warm night, great atmosphere. Was disappointed with the food as everyone had raved about this. Have had better Crab Liguine dishes elsewhere.

Approximate cost: $28

Fantastic pop-up restaurant where one has to arrive early to get a table. However there are many rooms and an outside courtyard. Menu offers a great range of Italian specialties cooked to perfection. This is fun experience with seriously good food. Most dishes offer a small and large option so it is great fun to pick one large dish and a number of small ones and then share.

Approximate cost: $14 - small; 25$ large
