Gilson's contuinues to be an excellent Italian restaurant and is our favourite .The service ,food and ambience is first class and never disappoints

It feels like stepping into Italy. A lovely dining experience at Emilia. Fabulous authentic Italian food and service. Thank you.

super super friendly service, the carbonara was delicious, however the vegetarian option with zucchinis was fairly flavourless. in a roman restaurant, maybe offer cacio e pepe as a vegetarian alternative? we asked the waitress if this could be done and she seemed a bit confused. the lack of wines available by the glass also made it difficult to order. all of the starters were absolutely delicious!! just a bit of a lacklustre vegetarian option.

If you enjoy the slightly unusual with an Aussie influence then this is the restaurant for you - we really enjoyed the food, it was an unforgettable night The only two downers that don’t relate to the food were 1. We didn’t have any dedicated waiting staff so didn’t get to develop any repartee / relationship which often enhances the night. The sommelier young man was the exception and therefore great … we had little conversations with him during the wine selection times …. He was great - having said that there was lots of serving staff 2. in the past we had heard (and was looking forward) to going into a real garden to show some of the produce used so quite disappointing to be lead to an enclosed box out the back either lots of little standing tables for guests
