Filicudi, Five Dock

Okay, so on the weekend, I also found Italian that is better than Mancini's! I really wanted to go to this place after seeing the amazing reviews by the Sydney Morning Herald and other websites. 

...and it certainly lived up to expectations!

I had Pollo Pavarotti and my mother had Veal Funghi. I have included photographs of the meat half of the dish, which was served with a plate of vegetables for us to share. For dessert we both chose our joint favourite Bailey's Creme Brulee. Needless to say, it was absolutely divine!

Apart from the excellent food, Filicudi has an excellent ambiance, with the stereotypical friendly Italian vibe and beautiful decor- there are murals on the walls of the gorgeous Italian landscape and empty alcohol bottles hanging from the roof. 

The service was equally good, with the waitresses giving my mother a free liqueur shot and chocolate being delivered with the bill (you hardly ever see this anymore!) The bill was also quite good looking, with our my chicken costing $26.50 and mum's veal $27.50. The Creme Brulee was $10.50 (but well worth it).

For any readers who are interested, just make sure you book in advance because the restaurant is extremely popular. As for me, I am definitely going back.
