We feel like words can not describe our experience. Everything was amazing! From the service of the staff (especially Nicole who made us feel so welcome!) , to the home made pasta, melting meat (we had duck ragout and beef cheek), the wine and dessert. The creme brulee was to die for. All exceeded our expectations in dining out. Best Italian food we have ever had!!! Thank you for such a great experience!!

My partner and I were both in the city so we decided to have dinner at Machiavelli’s. it had been several years since either of us had been, but we had both eaten there many times over the years. I was a little concerned that the restaurant may be a little tired but that simply wasn’t the case. The decor was still unmistakably Machiavelli, with the photo portraits of politicians and business leaders on the walls, and the waiters still in their relatively formal attire. The welcome was very friendly, the staff were attentive throughout the meal, and the food was excellent. If you are looking for simple, authentic Italian food, give this place a try.

Great food. Excellent wait staff. It's a nice authentic Italian restaurant with plenty of history! A great place for small to medium groups to get to know each other over wine and a meal.

I just been there tonight. The food was super nice, my spachcock cooked to perfection. Beautiful pasta and ragu. But the bread was cold on the table and there was no butter. But we used olive oil instead :). I read the reviews before. Someone mentioned the bread being cold too. Common guys, just serve it when people arrive, nice and warm and crusty. The service was good. I was not focused on if the waiters were smiling or not. Like some previous comments. They were good and they came wen u called them, they served our food in time. That's what matters.

Attended an event here recently and have to say, the staff, food and setup were simply incredible, the food was plentiful and executed to a premium quality. Will definitely be considering Machiavelli for future events due to it's versatility as a space, and the stellar food, drinks and service.

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.

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. MG and Noel Robinson

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.

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.
