13 italian places in Sydney we have eaten in, sorted by editor score. All cuisines in Sydney | Italian across every city.

Italian food is deeply woven into how Sydney eats, from buzzy trattorias to refined coastal dining. Fratelli Paradiso in Potts Point is a long-running favourite for its all-day Italian energy, while Icebergs Dining Room above Bondi Beach pairs the cuisine with the city's most famous ocean view. Newer rooms like Pellegrino 2000 in Surry Hills keep the scene moving.
