Bondi Trattoria

Overview

Located on the south end of Sydney's Bondi Beach, this long-running establishment offers house-made pasta with one serious view. The venue is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner every single day and is ideal for vegetarian diners, as half the menu is vego.

The best way to approach this extensive menu is this: start with a selection of antipasti — tarama dip with bottarga and fennel pollen, roasted bugs with garlic and chilli butter and stuffed zucchini flowers — then order a bunch of pastas and pizzas to share.

Pastas include roasted pumpkin and sage butter gnocchi, angel hair with yellowfin tuna or littleneck clams and spaghetti napoli or bolognese. Sourdough pizzas come topped with truffled four cheeses, lamb sausage and caramelised onion or broccolini with pickled eggplant and ricotta.

The dessert menu features some classic Italian treats including chocolate cannoli, ricotta-stuffed doughnuts and affogato, served with a glass of sticky riesling.
