Madrinaa Italiano

We ordered the following dishes on a Saturday night dinner: Risotto Con Maiale with pork neck and mushroom, Pasta Al Basilico, Spaghetti Aglio E Olio, Pizza Roma & Penne in Carbonara sauce. The Risotto Con Maiale and Pizza Roma were outstanding - The Risotto was Al Dente and was rich enough without overwhelming, the Pizza Roma had a nice mix of 4 cheeses without being overly salty, and the crust was crunchy and paper thin. Now the down side: The Pasta Al Basilico came with a heap of ham and fettuchine, clearly the wrong order because the diner in our party of 5 wanted vegetarian, and the asparagus was missing. We didn't send it back, decided to try it. Dish was overall ok but the white sauce was simply too rich, you won't be able to eat anything else after the pasta. We were surprised to find lots of Capsicum and mushroom in the Spaghetti Aglio E Olio (not the favourite vegetables of diner who ordered the dish), usually that means just plain spaghetti in olive oil, garlic and chilli flakes. But it was our own fault as it was written in the menu. Needless to say the vegetables completely changed the taste profile of the Spaghetti Olio, making it slightly slimy instead of the crisp and clean taste of garlic and olive oil. Overall service was prompt and attentive, but they charge $1 for a cup of warm water. The pasta and risotto dishes are already highly prices at around $30 each, do you need to nickel and dime the customers like this?

Very very good Italian food The pizza , the carpaccio is very good

Great food, great service. Will definitely come back. Ideal for family as well as couple. Highly recommended. Reservations recommended if you prefer indoor seating. Else outdoor is available.

the food was great & it was a quiet place for catch up..will visit again

Italian bread is a must try. Great service and ambience inside. Wide range in the menu. Definitely will visit again for the food and the dining experience

Better & wider range of choices for Vegetarians No cross transfusion of smell from non-veg, quite palatable, good taste. Visited second time ... (first time with colleagues & second time with family). Quality is good, Price Is on the higher side.

Nice place with lots of food options. The regular items are a bit on the pricey side, but the 3-course set lunch was a very good deal, with good-size portions too.

Overall, had a good experience. The service, food quality and ambience are good. We have a dinner party of four and we ordered lamb rack, tenderloin steak, pasta and pizza. We liked all of them.

Superb customer service like none other. They even gave me a birthday cake on my fiance's birthday. I will definitely recommend this place to others.

The restaurant was not aware that i have made the reservation for 2 pax, probably because i made it last minute. But they gave me a nice 5-6 seater corner seat. However, after only a short while, i was asked to shift to the adjacent 4-seater table but no longer in the corner. Although the waitress apologised profusely and that was the reason why i obliged, i was extremely offended when i realised that it was a Caucasian couple who was offered my previous table, not a bigger group or something like that. Something was fishy there although i couldnt be sure. But the experience was extremely unpleasant and i left the restaurant before ordering.

Warm and friendly service from almost everyone. Definitely one of the better Italian places in the area. Will be back to try out other pastas especially.

Good restaurant, with good food and great ambiencr. Service was good, ambience was very alfresco and good. Overall a very fun and chill environment. Hughly recommend

Good quiet ambience with free Wifi. Food is reasonable priced and quality is good. Servers are friendly too. Will recommend to friends and return next time.
