Absolute gem. Bar Conte is a little piece of Italy in the middle of Sydney and it never misses. From the moment we walked in, Fabio, Raffaele, Steven, Marta and the whole team made us feel like regulars. Impeccable hospitality, genuine warmth, and they really know their craft. The Negroni list is unreal, cocktails perfectly balanced, wine list curated beautifully, and the food - King prawn pasta, gnocchi sorrentina, fresh oysters - everything was outstanding. You can tell this place is run with so much passion. Perfect for aperitivo, a long dinner, or a late night drink. Can't recommend highly enough. Grazie mille to Fabio, Raffaele, Steven, Marta and team - we'll be back very soon

Solid hidden gem in Pyrmont! Only a short walk from the city. The place has a great Japanese bistro vibe. We ordered mostly the Kushikatsu skewers—highly recommend the Quail Egg, Wagyu Sukiyaki Egg, and Pork Belly Mapo. The KFC and Mini Wagyu Katsu Curry were also on point. Great atmosphere and friendly service. Will definitely be back!
