Chiosco by Ormeggio

Head into the d’Albora Marina, past the display model speed boats worth $50,000 a pop and out towards the water. On your right is the refined, Italian fine diner, Ormeggio at the Spit, with Alessandro Pavoni at the helm and well-tailored maître Ds at the door. To your left, however, is a little 50-seat, open-air restaurant staffed by smiling young wait staff in white tees and striped aprons, where punters can turn up barefoot and even BYO with a hint of a sneer.

From the minds behind Sydney’s two-hatted restaurant Ormeggio at the Spit, Chiosco serves up top-notch Italian eats from 11am for takeaway and 11.30am for dine-in. Located at the Mosman Jetty, mere metres from the water’s edge, Chiosco offers spectacular 300-degree views of luxury yachts and sparkling sea. While Ormeggio (which is Italian for ‘berth’ or ‘moor’) is a fine-dining affair, Chiosco (which is Italian for ‘kiosk’) has adopted a casual approach, serving Italian street food and takeaway with a ‘barefoot and BYO’ ethos.

Located right next door to Ormeggio at the Spit, Chiosco by Ormeggio is situated on The Jetty of d’Albora Marina, surrounded by the stunning views of our Middle Harbour. This Italian trattoria is BYO and barefoot-friendly but they’ll keep your thirst at bay with a fine selection of cocktails and vino!.

Chiosco is Italian chef Alessandro Pavoni's more casual eatery at The Spit Marina. If we're going to Chinamans Beach by car, we'll stop and get a coffee and an egg and bacon roll. They do really great brioche, too.

We had our son's wedding reception on Sunday with 40 guests and we chose the "ultimate sharing feast" with several extra dish options added. This is fine dining at it's best. We were looked after so well.
