I never thought the best Italian food I’d ever have would be in Australia! Here in Sydney, on my honeymoon, from Texas.. we travel all the time and we always try the Italian food.. this is the best so far! Great service, very authentic, staff is all from Italy and very kind. Food was second to none in Australia! Must taste and experience, thought I was IN Italy 🇮🇹

This would have to be in my top three Italian (if not of all cuisine) places to eat in Sydney. I have never not had a meal here to die for! Not being open on weekend doesn't phase me at all - good on them. I cant wait to get back there now thats its getting chilly and to have a delicious meal over bottle of red. Staff are super friendly too.

A very strong, classic Italian restaurant. Great menu, kitchen, staff, wine, all in genuine tradition.

Good food, nice atmosphere, maybe a bit more than I would like to pay but was good.

The food is amazing and the service is excellent. I thoroughly enjoyed the succulent duck ragu and the smoothness of the cocktails. Would definitely go back again.

I'VE FOUND IT!
THE👏BEST👏GNOCCHI👏IN👏SYDNEY👏!!! These pillows of dreamy gnocchi have the texture of mashed potato that are someway somehow just holding together! When you pop one of these bad boys into your mouth they simply melt away and you are left with the lingering flavour of gorgonzola sauce which is so rich and indulgent, it's the stuff of legends! Just wow. The very talented chefs at Machiavelli are gnocchi magicians! Well done!

I actually don't want to share this restaurant with anyone because everything is so fabulous, food, wine, atmosphere, and service. But just to honor them, I need to write something. I will make sure to go back there every time I visit Sydney. If you don't want to make a reservation, maybe going there a bit later. Otherwise, reservation is a good idea.

We shared zucchini flowers as an appetiser and they were absolutely melt-in-the-mouth. I had the grilled snapper as a main while my partner had the veal. My snapper was perfectly cooked and accompanied by creamed spinach and a very detailed and delicious potato dish. My partner was very happy with her veal. The service was attentive, the bread on arrival perfect. We arrived before their opening time (unusually good traffic flow!) but they were very warm and accommodating. I agree with some other diners that the photos are overdone. I had to look at ScoMo all evening and Peter Fitz on the way to the loo!

We have ‘long-lunched’ here several times recently with 3 courses and a lovely bottle of accompanying vino.
Food superb and service absolutely attentive without intrusion..My ‘Go-To’ restaurant I decided !!
Last week we wanted simply a glass of red, share an entree and a main each with fairly quick exit. I wondered how the experience would work out or if we should have decided on an option elsewhere. We were not treated any differently ... superb food and same expert service despite a much smaller bill at the end of the lunch.
As I said ... my absolute Go-To Restaurant surpassing Lucio and Pendolino.
Highly recommend this restaurant.

Good service for a high end Italian restaurant where the prices are quite steep for simple Italian food. We had various entrees, pasta and the minute steak, followed by desserts. Many people rate this restaurant as amazing, but they are not Italian so wouldn’t put too much credibility on their review.
My mother in law’s pasta is a mile ahead of this. Simple food, nothing phenomenal and definitely didn’t think it was worth the $340 price tag for 2 people (incl. 1 beer and 1 glass wine). We can tick this place off our bucket list, but wouldn’t return.

Authentic Italian in the CBD. The venue gives off the right vibe and makes for a decent work lunch or dinner date option.
Priced well and taste on point. Suggest trying the seafood dishes.

It's an upmarket Italian restaurant, with impressive desserts, a bar and high class table service. The entree was delicious, and the mains looked delicious, but the prices were quite steep. The serving size was large for the meals others were enjoying.

Amazing service . Very few places nail all a aspects- food flavour and value, wait times, and level of service. We came in at a quiet time but the restaurant was full very quickly and attentiveness did not change. Food was amazing. Worth every cent

I had travelled around Italy a few times now but the best gnocchi I've had is from this lovely restaurant in Sydney CBD. The waitstaff and host are very welcoming. I'll go back in a heartbeat.

Excellent cuisine. Very nice waiting staff.
Surprisingly got a spot outside the restaurant (ticket parking).
Overall very good experience.

WOW, Just Wow! Last night I dined in at Machiavelli Sydney for the first time and I cant believe how impressed I was. I ordered the Beautiful Zucchini flowers, Grilled Snapper with Saffron Butter Sauce and the best Ravioli I have eaten in a long time. Literally melted in my mouth with a beautiful wine to match.
Also, the service was exceptional, the staff, the chef and the management really make you feel like family. Best Italian Restaurant Sydney, hands down. Remember this face, I will be back - thank you.
