“Poor commercial food - dreadful coffee”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 January 2012

This restaurant used to enjoy a good reputation some years ago so my wife and I called in for a coffee and cake after the cinema. She ordered a latte and i a long macchiato. They came in identical glasses and looked almost indistinguishable. Mine tasted of burnt coffee and had coffee grounds in it. It had been made "long" by adding hot water and had been topped up with milk with bubbles on it - not even what you could call "froth". There was certainly no attempt at just a stain of milk, My wife, who is not a coffee purist said hers was equally bad and hers had the same bubbles. The cake arrived 10 minutes later - rather defeating the idea of coffee and cake. It was just mass-produced commercial stuff. My tiramisu ( certainly nothing like the "best" claimed in the menu) had that terrible commercial whipped cream and had no flavour. My wife's sticky-date pudding tasted like tinned Christmas cake. The cheese board was meagre and the cheeses ordinary. And it wasn't cheap. Most disappointing.

“Very enjoyable meal”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 January 2012

My partner had the minestrone soup which he said was very good. The food was of a high standard, nothing in Australia is cheap but the quality was good. Great staff. Reasonable wine choice.

“quite good experience”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 December 2011

my girlfriend and i walking pass the restaurant on xmas eve can help noticing the lady. i thought she is one of those Italian lady. we ended up spending $99.50 and kissing the lady merry xmas when we took off after 3 courses each plus drinks and coffee.
everything was very italian, the food the people, except for there are a few chinese waitresses, which is not a bad thing, just a tiny bit strange to my liking. the food was excellent. i normally eat a lot bit struggle to finish them all. the lemon sorbet was toooo sweet, not exactly refreshing at the end of the meal.
it was the only restaurant full comparing to next door empty.
really if you are happy on a night like xmas eve, you will find the restaurant like this one the flawless restaurany

“Efficient service”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 November 2011

We went to Sorrentos for dinner and was really impressed with the speed of the delivery of food from when we placed the order and the quality of the food. But the big disappointment which put us off our food was the cockroach we saw running passed our table at around 8pm. Unfortunately we couldn't finish our delicious meals.
