Belgrave Cartel

We held a business meeting at this Italian restaurant, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. The atmosphere was calm, elegant, and welcoming — ideal for a focused yet relaxed conversation. The staff showed great awareness and consideration, seating us in a quiet area and timing the service perfectly to suit our meeting. The menu was thoughtfully structured, and the pacing of the courses was spot-on. We ordered the lasagna, which was easily one of the best we’ve ever had — rich, perfectly balanced, and clearly made with care and expertise. Throughout the meal, water was continuously refilled, beers were rotated seamlessly, and every detail was handled with genuine attentiveness. What truly stood out was the dedication of the team and the personal involvement of the owners — two brothers who clearly care deeply about both the food and the guest experience. Their presence and professionalism elevated the entire visit. An exceptional place for business meetings, special occasions, or simply enjoying outstanding Italian cuisine with impeccable service. Highly recommended.

Our first time and won’t be the last! Great service - really great! Food was delicious, we had the ragu, the lasagna and the spaghettoni, plus arancini entrees (and fries for our teenage son!). Great drinks menu. Really enjoyed our night.

Stopped in for a little cocktail before heading out for dinner. So we didn’t actually eat here, but I have heard the food is great. While the place was quiet when we arrive, it has a really cool vibe. Right in the heart of Manly, this is so worth popping into if you have a smaller group. Although I’m sure you book the joint out of you wanted a larger crowd. Had a margarita that was very nice.
