We've been eating at the Bondi Trattoria for the past 10 years, and it used to be a fave for lunch or dinner. Not only for the food, but the amazing hospitality.
Since the new ownership à few years ago (big guy Alasdair), it has become an increasingly unpleasant experience when he's around.
Alasdair's condescending attitude and rudeness to clients will no longer be tolerated or ignored by me and my friends.
Sorry to the great staff who work there (you're fabulous), but we've had enough of the big guy's bullying.

We recently had our team Christmas party at Bondi Trattoria (table of 8). We entrusted in our waiter Max to bring out a selection of their best dishes & he did not disappoint. We enjoyed a selection of oysters, cacciucco Italian fish stew, angel hair pasta with tuna, spaghetti blue swimmer crab, angel hair pasta littleneck clams, mussels in spicy tomato, Scotch fillet steak & roast & spiced cauliflower. We chose to also have a dessert, I ordered Zeppole (ricotta doughnuts). All the food was absolutely delicious! Customer service was top notch. We had a fantastic lunch. Big thanks to Max who looked

One of my fave Sydney restaurants. Service was flawless, super prompt and the staff are so lovely. The food is consistently great - we always go for a few starters and share a pasta dish. Highly recommend - this should be on your top 5 places to eat for locals and visitors. Plus, you can take in the views of Bondi beach there. 5 stars for service, food and experience!

This place was a pleasant surprise! We were seated next to these two lovely ladies who recommended the bugs, so we ordered a large (around $52) and it was not a disappointment (I word it like this because bugs are hard to get right). The sauce was zesty (which we mopped up with extra bread) and the bugs had that tender springy bounce to its flesh. The cheese pieces were amazing as well.
Personally did not like the gnocchi BUT my other 2 friends absolutely loved it. So if you love gnocchi, go for the gnocchi with pumpkin - should be good!

Fantastic service and super fresh food. Reasonably priced, be prepared for a wait if you don't book in advance during weekends.The gnocchi with bolognesa sauce was fabulous and my mum ordered gnocchi with a veggie sauce and was very yummy too. The pasta was perfectly cooked and size very generous. Also the location is perfect, if you go at day time the view is great but if you going for dinner the environment is perfect.

Bondi Trattoria has occupied the southern end of Campbell Parade, Bondi Beach for many years. It was starting to look a little tired, until a recent change in ownership and revamp of the dining space and menu. The new owners, both coming with impressive resumes. Joe Pavlovich runs the kitchen and has experience listing the likes of est. and, most recently the executive chef for the Mangan Group. Alasdair France was formerly head of operation for the Hilton and the Mangan Group taking care of the front of house. This wealth of experience is on display through the quality food and impeccable service
