Casa Ristorante | King Street Wharf
Casa Ristorante is located on Sydney's waterfront King Street Wharf. You won't miss the two Roman Centurion statue as you walk by the wharf. Casa Ristorante is great for Italian food, think wood fired pizza and pasta.
Zucchini Flowers & Arancini
We started the evening with Zucchini flowers stuffed with fetta, black olives, semi dried tomatoes and served with chilli mayo. The batter was extremely crispy and the zucchini flower was perfectly seasoned. Each bite was perfection. We think the zucchini flower at Casa Ristorante is one of the best in Sydney. Once you're done with the creamy stuffing, entice your tastebuds by introducing another element. Take a bite into the crunchy fried saffron infused risotto balls filled with peas, ragu and mozzarella - becareful - the arancini balls are served piping hot.

Pappardelle Lamb Ragu
The pappardelle had a nice texture but it wasn't the best cooked pasta we've had. The slow roasted lamb shoulder was rich and had bold flavours. The ragu was sliding off the pasta making it quite hard to eat however, if you combine it with the fresh ricotta, you might have a fork filled with pasta, lamb ragu and the cheese.
Gamberi
As Casa Ristorante is known for their wood fired pizza, we couldn't wait to try one. We decided to order the Gamberi which had a pesto base, mozzarella, garlic prawns and cherry tomatoes. Pizza should be simple with only a few ingredients and that's exactly what we had however, we were quite dissapointed with the Gamberi. It lacked the crispy base and the pizza overall was quite dry despite being loaded with cheese.
