Baduzzi

Haven’t even dined here yet but had to leave a review for the amazing service over the phone from the host! Very excited for our booking.

Everything was good, but not great. For the cost, I would expect not great, but excellent! A great location.

We ordered the deer meatball which I found a tad too salty and the mushroom with hazelnut pasta was nice. The Malborough Saugvignon Blanc was nice too. Service and ambiance were great.

My dining experience was a disaster. The prices were outrageous for what we got. The lamb rump was tough and chewy, and the tiny portion of overcooked roast potatoes didn't help. To top it off, we were seated next to the main door, enduring constant cold drafts and noise. The meal was utterly disappointing, leaving us with a terrible impression. Definitely not worth the money or the discomfort.

Baduzzi is famous for its Italian meatballs called Polpette. This is the most popular restaurant in this area and is always full of customers. Personally, I go there because I like other dishes more than meatballs. My personal favorite is the combination of Char-Grilled Sardine and the restaurant's original beer.

This was one of the most amazing food places I have ever been too, the food was amazing the service was outstanding and they refilled our glasses of water about 4 times throughout our lunch without us even noticing they were becoming empty, the food had the best combinations of flavours and the dessert was just as good, everything was as perfect as it could be & I would recommend to anyone. I also am gluten free so having food at that standard is not an easy thing to do while gluten free but they had a whole seperate gluten free menu with many options.

This is hands down the best restaurant I have been to this year. From the moment we walked in the door, the service was fantastic, the wait staff were informative and helpful, and the food is just superb. Thank you for a wonderful evening.

Super yummy confit duck pasta. Little hard to understand the menu. Waitress didn't quite help there otherwise really quick service.

Ordered the lockdown picnic basket and it was amazing (wine not included) their meatballs are the best I’ve ever tasted and everything else was on a similar level

We collected Baduzzi’s picnic box last week. The food was so tasty and more than enough for two people. All packed up in a box with a red and white ribbon. A great initiative on click and collect in L3 lockdown and a great way to spend a sunny Friday afternoon in the city. Thank you Baduzzi!

We had the picnic hamper today and OMG this was truly amazing. Absolutely worth the $85 that we paid. And IMO this hamper is totally worth more. You get so much variety and so much food for 2 people.
This is an absolute must.

Wow is all I can say, amazing food and better Service. Would highly recommend any wine pairing recommended by Lorenzo, we lets it up to him and were no disappointed

I don’t know about the food but definitely the worst freaking attitude ever, stood near the door for about 10 minutes while two of the staff members were hovering around us but no one had the courtesy to attend us and they were attending other people who were walking in and out though.
Booked our table, were there on time and I have no clue about the rude treatment but would not go here ever!

We enjoyed the food, however the portion size for the gnocchi was tiny.
The waiter was shocking and ruined the evening, we were left waiting to order for nearly 30 mins and were on the verge of walking out when they finally came over. This was a few months back so hopefully they have become more comfortable and skilled in the role. Unfortunately we won't be coming back to find this out.

Excellent meals with well presentation of dishes. Deserts wonderful
Service adequate, just ok, did not match the food. Will recommend the excellent menu.

Had the restaurant month set menu last night, ravioli starter, chicken main and apple strudel dessert. It was honestly a terrible awful meal, the worst restaurant meal I have ever had. The chicken was put under a grill with no sauce or flavour, really bony with very little meat and my friends chicken was raw. A huge disappointment and we won't be back.

Very happy to visit Baduzzi again - this time for lunch. Stunning food, top service and an excellent Italian wine list. On a sunny winter's day the conservatory was full of very happy people, including us.

Great place for great Italian food. We went for my Mom 66 Birthday, only drawback in restaurant policy is you not allowed to cut your own birthday cake. But the waiter went extra mile bought some dessert with candle to end with good note. We will come back again without? Lol!

It was a pleasure to eat at a restaurant where you could share plates and dishes and order one course at a time. Could taste each dish. It took us 2 and half hours to eat our meal. Enjoyed the food and ambience.

We decided to try Baduzzi after reading Jesse Mulligan's review in Viva. When we arrived we felt a bit like we were interrupting a staff meeting even though we had booked a table. Once our waitress came to our table the experience changed for the better. She was lovely and talked us through the menu making recommendations. The food service was fast and we enjoyed all the dishes. The eggplant starter and duck pasta were standouts as were the torta caprese and tiramisu.
