We dined at Orto Italian upstairs in the pub, we had antipasto/ pizza and pastas.
Sorry to say , basic Italian , anti pasta plate for that price was shameful (2 x mortadella pieces , 2 salami pieces , 2 cheese slices , some bread , some capers and olives), really even a store bought coles or Woolies antipasto plate would of been more Italian and filling.
Pizza was a dining plate size and likely frozen and heated , base tasted like pre-made , nothing Italian about (it was a margarita) dominoes pizza make better . The pastas, were passable for a pub pasta (small portion / some flavour / pasta inconsistent ).
The customer service is fine , the staff friendly.
The Italian bistro / food has so much potential and could be so much better with some effort , but sadly not this time.
Pubs up the road in Redfern street are charging similar prices and food is generous / fresher and flavourful (they don't serve Italian , but it shows the difference when the chefs care about food and what you serve).
