What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Diners rave about Massimo Restaurant & Bar for its exceptional waterfront views, attentive service, and delicious, generously portioned Italian cuisine. The 'Bottomless Lunch' is a particular highlight, offering great value. While most reviews are overwhelmingly positive, some minor critiques exist regarding specific dishes not reaching the same heights as others.
"We had a lovely time at Massimo, no faults at all. Presentation of food was amazing, food was fresh and tasty and the waiter was exceptional. Filippo who was “in training”, doesn’t really need much at all, he was very knowledgeable and off he didn’t now he would promptly find the answer. Made conversation and ensured we were enjoying our meal at all times. We ordered the Pronto Banquet so he had a lot of plates to deliver and collect. We don’t usually tip, but we did tip Filippo - All the best with the rest of your stay in Australia & Thank you for an unforgettable experience :)"

"Had a wonderful dinner at Massimo! Food was good, service was good and it felt very easy. It was a birthday celebration and they made it an effortless process whereas some restaurants can make it difficult to do celebrations. They go out of their way to make you feel special. Food portions were generous and felt like good value for money. The restaurant was right next to ferry terminal which we thought might be an issue, but after 6pm it’s pretty quiet and restaurant has a nice ambience when full - if your wanting a high view of the bridge it might not be ideal. Risotto and eye fillet were very tasty."

"We had a very positive experience at Massimo for our nine year wedding anniversary. The staff were very friendly and attentive. Between the two of us we had some complex allergies and they were very understanding and accommodating. They made considerable changes to the menu for us and nothing was too much hassle. We did the bottomless lunch option and it was well worth the money with amazing service, amazing food and a lot of champagne. The little touches to celebrate our anniversary were much appreciated - a welcome sign saying happy anniversary and a dessert dish with happy anniversary written on it. One of the waitresses also sang us an anniversary song which was super cute! Thanks to all the staff at Massimo for making our experience such a positive one. We will be back."
