Sarino’s has recently reinvented itself, morphing from formal restaurant to a more relaxed dining option that you don’t need to save for special occasions, now open 7 days a week for both lunch and dinner while retaining Sarino’s Italian influence.
We like this option way more – if we want really fancy pants restaurants we can head into the city. But having a venue that offers a pretty-as-a-picture dining space that’s open 7 days a week for lunch and dinner means that it can be more to more people…
A quick bite to eat somewhere nice because you and your partner have found yourself kid free for a couple of hours? Done. A local option for a group of girlfriends who want to have a few drinks in a more elevated setting? Tick. A birthday or anniversary dinner with your loved one. Yes. A family celebration over lunch somewhere kids can come too? No problem.
We visited recently, falling under the first category above! A rare couple of hours where the kids were elsewhere. YES! We have always loved the dining room – during the day it’s light filled and airy and at night it’s warm and cosy! It’s also a good size – not too big, not too small.
For the younger clientele there are options like QR codes on the tables to order food and drinks, however the waiter happily took our order.
As mentioned, the menu is Italian inspired. We shared an entree and dessert and chose different mains with an accompanying side salad. This was a good way of doing it and was just the right amount of food.
Now, burata is certainly having a moment and we think this is very well deserved. We enjoyed it paired with delicious prosciutto – simple and a great appetiser. We then opted for prawn mafaldini pasta, the scotch fillet and a crisp rocket, pear and parmesan salad. This was a great mix and the perfect amount for two of us.
In addition to the dining room, there’s a dedicated Sports Lounge, providing a comfortable space to watch live sport while enjoying the full Sarino’s food and drinks menu.
And now that Sarino’s is open 7 days, there are more weekly reasons to visit, including $12 Cocktail Thursdays, Whiskey Wednesdays, live DJs on Friday nights and live jazz on Saturdays. Who doesn’t love an incentive to go out?!
The other thing we’ve always loved about Sarino’s – even though we have never actually dined in one! – are the private dining rooms. These would be a great option for a special occasion lunch or dinner if you’re wanting a bit more privacy or even a corporate function for local businesses. We particularly love the wine filled one!
So grab your girlfriends, your nearest and dearest or that special someone because there’s an option at Sarino’s just for you!
