10. Mamma Teresa Italian Restaurant

Reviewed By Jackie M
(3.5 stars)After battling the Kingsford stretch of the eyesore that is Gladys Berejiklianâs incompatible, delayed, and over-budget light rail disaster, it was a relief to finally sink into our table at Mamma Teresa, right beside a beautiful tank of fish. Along with a trio of goldfish, this eye-catching tank - which doubles as a transparent room divider separating diners from the pizza kitchen - is full of hardy African fishes. Watching multitudes of babies swim about feels curiously reassuring, perhaps because one suspects that if a restaurant can keep a fish tank so healthy, they might keep their kitchen in a similar manner.Iâm also reassured by diners at the next table, who, upon seeing me photograph my entree, lean over and volunteer that âit tastes as good as it looks.â Theyâre locals and regulars, and some friendly conversation ensues.Mamma Teresa has existed in this spot for more than forty years. Mahyar Kianfar (Kian) took it over a few years ago, but kept the name, and is proud of the restaurant's history as âthe first Italian restaurant in the Eastern Suburbs.â Kian has ensured a smooth ownership transition by retaining the same chef who has cooked at Mamma Teresa for the last eight years. Together they have opted to keep a wide menu of Italian classics, like rough, hand-made gnocchi, which you can opt to eat as creamy Carbonara ($14.50/entrée). With pepper and extra cheese added at the table, my only complaint was this well-cooked pasta dish arrived a lot faster than our wine!After a gentle nudge, my rogue Lawson Dry Hills Pinot Rose ($7/glass) arrived just as I finished scraping up the remaining skerricks of creamy sauce flavoured with bacon, shallots and egg using crisp Garlic Bread ($5.50). Pale pink and dry, the rose is an easy-to-drink, fruit-driven drop, which impresses more than a Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio ($8.50/glass) that's a bit acidic and golden apple-heavy for me.These characteristics do help to cut through the grease on the remaining portion of our antipasti Chorizo & Halloumi ($14.90). The deep-fried and overwhelmingly salty cheese was a bit of a surprise on this dish. I found it dominated the tasty, pan-fried chorizo cooked with rosemary, garlic, chilli and lemon, and there weren't enough leaves to balance it.Rosemary was also well-employed in Veal Romano ($23.90) where two thin slices of tasty, crumbed veal were adorned with silky pink folds of ultra-thin leg ham, with a black pepper and white wine sauce rounding out the dish. Grain-fed Eye Fillet ($28.90) is well-rested and insanely tender under a good green pepper sauce dotted with whole green peppercorns. We both opt for salad as our meal accompaniment, which is crisp, and generously proportioned. Itâs dressed in quite a vinegary way that helps to cut through the creamy pepper sauce. Capsicum proves a particular delight, though produce quality is good across the board.While the dishes here donât look flash, they offer up good technique for a decent price, which makes Mamma Teresa an easy favourite for locals. While the light rail destruction does make the view out the front windows a bit of a write-off, in the rear Martine Emderâs seaside mural painted back in 1998 has an almost luminous quality that from a distance fools the eye into thinking itâs a seaward window. Until Gladys Berejiklian finally gets it done, this illusion of tranquility will have to suffice.

I had dinner here last night to coincide with their new menu with one of my closest friends. We have both been coming here for a few years and consider it to be one of the best Italian restaurants in Sydney. Again last night we were impressed with everything from the friendly service right through to the cocktails to the delicious food and wines. It is truly rare for a restaurant to consistently deliver day-in-day-out, week-in-week-out month after month. A strong traditional Italian menu with daily specials. Baccomatto Osteria is one of these restaurants and you will be impressed. Strongly advise making a booking from mid week through to the weekends.

Iâve been living in the neighborhood for six months now, and I canât believe I didnât come here sooner! It is surprisingly good, for a very reasonable price! The owner is there to interact with customers, which shows how the business is ran. We ordered mix platter for 2 which can easily serve 4. Great place to go with friends and family!

Rainy Sunday morning we turned up at Kepos Street Kitchen which was full. Friendly host offered us an umbrella to take to their partner cafe (Kepos and Co) a few doors away. We were not disappointed. K&Co is set in a delightful open courtyard overlooking cascading flowers, a pool and stone walls with spacious outdoor tables. Efficient, professional staff and top class coffee. Try the Shakshuka eggs for breakfast - you'll want to go back. We certainly will, next time in the area.

This is a really good Lebanese restaurant, authentic, tasty and fresh. It is located just down the street from the Belvoir Theatre and great for a pre-show meal, however its a short walk up a really steep hill to the theatre. Not great if you have a fully belly of food!

Del Punto is a quaint little tapas bar opposite the cinema in The Spot in Randwick. Monique was our delightful and most helpful waitress. Best tapas Iâve ever had by a country mile - and Iâve had a lot of tapas. Went with the El Camino to share between two. 9 dishes and each one was unique and distinctly delicious. Heirloom tomato and feta saladPotato and egg frittatachorizo and prawn skewersBaby octopus; paella balls; meatballs; patatas bravas; chicken skewers, beef parcels. We ordered a bottle of the Verdejo which was delicious also. My husband had the affogato for dessert and chose the Khalua liquor. He said it was very good also. Great little spot, really relaxed atmosphere and top class food. Donât miss out if youâre in Randwick. Thanks for your detailed review! We hope to see you back in here again soon.
