I had a pasta dish. I found the centre of the dish to be piping hot, whilst the periphery was cooler. It didn't look authentically appealing and I have had better in Italian restaurants in Sydney. I was expecting better, I thought the waitresses were on the ball

Had a meal here one night while staying in the Hunter Valley foung it by chance, can only say the meal and the service were first class plus if you sit out on the veranda you have a nice outlook over the grounds.

We had the delight to eat last week at II Cacciatore. The entrée of the day was a stuffed courgette flower, they were cooked to perfection, the waitress was most accommodating (as we wanted a share plate) to adjust the portions for 3. All our main meals were delicious. It was a warm evening and we sat on the outdoor... More

I visited Il Cacciatore last week and loved every second of my experience! We arrived at 6pm and sat on the beautiful deck which has a gorgeous view over the lake and we very much enjoyed watching the sun go down with an exquisite view over the vineyards. The decor throughout the restaurant and the Italian music playing in the... More

The food was really nice, not the best that we had but still enjoyable. The evening was a little ruined as our order was forgotten. The waitresses handled it really well, and our entire meal was complimentary (which of course helped!). My advice would be to book in advance and sit outside as the view is gorgeous (we sat inside).

Thank you for choosing Il Cacciatore for your dining experience. I was sorry to read that your order was forgotten and this ‘ruined’ your evening. We have a number of procedures in place to avoid this happening however I was pleased to read that the waitress handled it well, she mentioned that you left very happy. We are very lucky... More

The food here was excellent, however I was disappointed that my, albeit generous sized, Barramundi was under cooked, and actually raw in the middle. When I mentioned it to the waitress she acknowledged that it was, said she'd tell the kitchen but offered no apology nor compensatory coffee on the house etc. It is the personal touchs that is the...

We have visited this restaurant before and were really pleased BUT this time we were VERY disappointed. We will not go back there again. We waited 40 MINUTES to be served then another 60 MINUTES before our meal arrived. The restaurant wasn't busy with 4 waitresses working. There would have been about 30 people at the most in the restaurant.... More
