Sardinia Italian Inspired Seafood

Love Italian food. Seafood marinara was superbly flavoured, just missing fish....

Wow, I cannot believe some of the reviews that people leave, especially the review about the Sardinian Banquet. It was one of the most amazing banquets we've ever eaten, not to mention the VALUE that you get for $40.00 pp. The food that Vito prepares is nothing but fresh and delicious. He's always been kind to us and very attentive and really cares about the food so PLEASE think before you write reviews like this. It's a real shame if other people miss out as this is the Central coast's best kept Italian secret! Cheers, Bethany :

Food is great and super fresh, but plates is small for our opinion .

So, after a mistake with another restaurant in the Cinema Paradiso not confirming our online booking, we had a last minute change of plan and ended up here at Sardinia. No choice in menu as it was a set tasting menu with 5 entree , 3 mains and 2 dessert, with a bottle of wine between 4 people for $40/head.The food was tasty, and Vince went to some trouble to present it well, but it really wasnt worth $40. A dip and some croquettes, portion of lasagne, beans, tiramisu and gelato, as well as a couple of sides, could have included some nice fresh pasta and sauce, cheap to make but tasty and filling. We had to ask for water and our wine, the wait staff could do with a refresher course on what their role is. The restaurant wasnt full, so managing the few tables should have been easy. Nice clean table and easy decor. Would like to go on a night when I can choose own food though.

Calamari was rubbery, very chewy and hard to eat. Waitress told us the seafood simmer was for 2, barely enough food for one. Mushroom Risotto was abysmal. Was literally rice boiled in watery stock, no wine, no onions, no butter in the risotto, no texture, no creaminess. We then sat for half an hour after the plates were cleaned away waiting for someone to ask if we wanted desert and coffee, never happened. Fish of the day was ok and the only reason for 2 stars. Disappointed.
