We had an amazing experience at this Italian gem!. It has such a cozy and warm vibe, perfect for a relaxed luncj and dinner. The staff was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, adding to the overall welcoming atmosphere.

As for the food, everything was delicious! The pasta was perfectly cooked, and the flavors were spot on. The wine selection was also fantastic, with plenty of options to complement the meal.

I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic Italian flavors paired with a fantastic dining experience. Can't wait to come back!

Italian restaurant located in the Bankstown sports club. Parking is available under the club and you'll have to be a member or be with a member in order to enter. The entrance is fairly scenic and they're clearly going for an little Italy aesthetic which is largely achieved. This is the second time I had taken my family here and we previously had a decent time so had I reviewed it then, I'd have likely updated it tonight.

The food was like before, all delicious; I had the grigliata mista di mare which was essentially a seafood platter main which I really enjoyed. My partner had the scotch fillet which was perfectly seared and my family had various creamy seafood pastas all of which I highly recommend.

'If the food was so great, why am I only giving two stars?' and my response is probably not what you'd expect. Our waiter was.. very distracted. While we were taking our order, the whole time he was staring at some other table and my whole family was confused as to what he was looking at. Then while we were *still* taking our order he then *takes off* and my family member then informs me that he's talking to a woman around the corner. My family and I just looked at each other completely bewildered, I didn't know if he was coming back or if I needed to call another waiter. We decide to wait. Five or so minutes later he then comes back and we have to go through what I had already ordered because I'm not sure if he noted everything down or not. We notice that there were numerous errors; he put down an extra dish somehow(?), didn't write one of the sauces, and omitted a dish altogether. No clue how he managed this, he was likely distracted by the woman who he talking to.

The order *somehow* still comes out wrong🤦‍♂️. He had asked whether we wanted a specific dish as an entree or main and we replied main, only for it to be served as an entree anyway. There's like two options and you still managed to get it wrong, like why even ask lmao. Additional sauces and sides were missing entirely even though we went over it twice. We had to spend time chasing other waiters just to get the items that were missing which I find frankly disappointing. Our night would've turned out a little better if we didn't have to waste time both confused and chasing missing items because our waiter is trying to get lucky.

Guilio, brother, I completely understand if you meet this great woman and you gotta chase her, but it needs to be said. Compounding the fact you messed up our orders even though we went over it twice, you running off to talk to another woman while we were ordering was confusing, unprofessional and rude.

I'm still rooting for you I guess Guilio, someone's night should be pleasant.

My husband been here when it’s covid time and he said it was good .. but Me As a first time on this place and when we try this is his feed back him and I expect extraordinary results but i was Disappointed with the seafood pasta the shrimp and clams tasted like they came straight out of the freezer!also the pasta was overcooked too much oil the sauce tease acid of tomato,and the seafood tasted stale and rubbery ….Definitely not fresh!
For the price, I expected fresh ingredients, but the seafood pasta had that bland, frozen taste. Not worth it! I spend my money for nothing !Frozen seafood doesn’t belong in Italian cuisine! This dish tasted nothing like the authentic pasta I expected…next time If you’re serving Italian seafood pasta, please don’t use frozen ingredients. The texture and taste suffered big time!thanks to the floor manager with a short hair she’s nice she explained and trying to apologies but it was not her fault because she’s not a chef… but i can tell she knows also what is the problem. But thanks god Atlst they have a good water ! I hope the management can find a better chef !

Located inside Bankstown Sports, this pizza joint has been there for at least a decade and still makes some of the best pizzas in Sydney. Quite a simple menu and before you know it, freshly cooked pizzas are delivered to your table and they are decently topped and a standard size. Each pizza is around $25 which isn't cheap but nor is it too expensive. You get a few bucks off each pizza (or dish) if you're a member of Bankstown Sports. I hope they stay in business for a few more decades!

Great family-friendly restaurant! Staff are extremely attentive and friendly. The atmosphere is super positive, authentic and receives plenty of natural light.

We visit often and typically order a pizza and a few pastas to share. Definitely a must-try for the whole family.

We celebrated my mums 60th here last week and booked the venetian balcony. The venue was perfect, dealing with Leo and Giuseppe was a breeze.
The food was delicious and Marco who was in charge of serving etc our event, did a wonderful job always ensuring everything was running as we had hoped and everyone was comfortable. He also ensured I was able to order gluten free for myself on the night.
I would highly recommend La Piazza.
Thank you La Piazza.

Even though the food is good, the customer service is terrible! there is no reservation for the middle seating area, especially on the weekends so if you wanna visit you gotta wait in a long ass queue. i made a reservation and the waiter agreed, but when i came it was for a different seating area and a different menu altogether! then we requested to get a different table and we were refused. not upto the mark, very disappointing and disrespectful, had to walk out of the restaurant because of the way we were talked to! if you wanna visit, keep in mind you gotta wait for at least an hour especially if its a weekend and there's no way you can make a booking! PATHETIC
