Setting:

A romantic and sophisticated candle-lit restaurant with floor to ceiling windows overlooking the harbour.

Food:

Every creation in Grissini, from the crusty warm grissini bread to the creamy homemade risotto, is outstanding. The dishes are innovatively prepared but maintain their Italian integrity using fresh, quality ingredients to create pure, simple pleasure in every mouthful. The beef carpaccio with rocket and truffle oil is bursting with flavour and the pumpkin risotto with melting Taleggio cheese and fresh tyme, which can be ordered as a starter or main, is sweet, citrusy and elegantly seasoned. The veal cheek braised in Barolo red wine sauce is served with soft polenta and falls apart in the mouth oozing red wine and fresh herbs and the Mediterranean sea bass with red onion, cherry tomatoes, capers and black olives explodes with fresh and tangy flavors of the region. The molten chocolate pudding is deliciously sinful for dessert, confirming Grissini's status as one of the best Italian restaurants in the city.

Wine:

A near novel of wines from every region with a strong emphasis on Italian wines. Bottles start at around $400.

Service:

Service is faultless. Wait staff are friendly and informative without being intrusive and their manners and serving style are impeccable.

Price:

A three-course meal for two without wine is around $1,600.
