Step into COMPA, here the servings are generous and
the atmosphere is effortlessly sophisticated. It feels
instantly familiar. Descending into the space is like giving
an old friend a long overdue hug.

For Matt Moran’s ACT debut - antipasto, pasta and charcoal
dishes bring a touch of Tuscany to your table. As with all
his establishments, at the heart of his menu is quality
produce that is fresh, seasonal and locally sourced.
COMPA is built on a simple, often forgotten pairing: good
food and good company.

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Compa is a top-tier Italian restaurant known for its "amazing food" and "impeccable service". Diners rave about the perfectly cooked steaks and "fantastic" gnocchi. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it ideal for special occasions. Although some find it pricey, the "express menu" offers great value. Highly recommended!

We were charged $5 per person for water (not sparkling) - this was a massive turn off for our group as this was not made obvious on the menu nor by the waiter who offered us the water. The pricing on the steaks was also very misleading. The food was decent but a little bland. Wouldn’t recommend for the price and probably won’t return.

Relaxed but sophisticated vibes. Perfect place for our celebration meal with a group of mixed ages (85 through to 18) …everyone could hear the conversation. We didn’t feel rushed and our meal was prompt and the service professional. Everybody thought the ribeye on the bone was the hero. Don’t miss out on the octopus with harissa.

I'd been meaning to come here every since it opened and, last night, finally got the chance. It was everything I'd hoped for and more. We had the set menu and asked them to choose the wines for us. We each got a different white and a different red. I started with a Feudo Arancio from Sicily. The grape variety is Inzolia, which I'd never heard of before, but was very impressed. An easy drinking white wine that worked perfectly with the various entree dishes. That was followed by a Nero D'Avola to perfectly match the steak. Highly recommended.

You and your guests will not be disappointed. We could not find any fault in the complete experience after dining at Compa for dinner and lunch on separate dates with a different party of guests.

Loved this restaurant! Great service, fantastic food, lovely ambience and fit out! Simple yet stunning flavours beautifully presented by delightful competent staff! What’s not to like! I dine at Melbourne restaurants often and this place holds its own with the best! A great addition to the Canberra offering!

Food was exceptional, absolutely perfect. Attentive service. Expensive but everything is these days. Music could have been louder to set the vibe. Will return and highly recommend.
