This is not the same Pendolino I dined at when it opened. I have been here a few times now and am not sure after this last visit that I will return again in a hurry. The food was average, the wine was average - the list is difficult to navigate and the sommelier had a real attitude that made... More

Escape the noisy streets of Sydney and ascend up into the Strand Arcade and enter the soothing environment of Pendolino. Home made pasta, home made delicious bread and infused olive oils lets you know this is no basic Italian restaurant.

Excellent ambiance, dark surroundings, very good menu and really first class food. Only criticisms: not many red wines, and as usual for Sydney, horrendously expensive (3 x retail) for a pretty average drop

A fabulous special occasion restaurant. I took my fathers for his 84th birthday. He loved the food - especially the vegetarian lasagna, That is something truly very special. I would recommend arriving a little earlier for lunch as the restaurants gets very full and can get a little noisy. Great service.

A dark and moody room at the top of the Strand Arcade running between George and Pitt Streets in Sydney, Pendolino has consistently turned out a high standard of food. From the lovely foccacia with different types of olive oil (a hallmark of the restaurant) to the incredibly delicious ravioli with burnt butter and sage, there's a lot to like... More
