About Chiosco by Ormeggio

Perched over the water at d'Albora Marina, this breezy seaside trattoria serves generous Italian feasts right alongside moored boats. Long lunches stretch out over house-made pasta, crusty sourdough, and plates of vitello tonnato while the bay drifts past. Tables fill for group gatherings and relaxed anniversaries over multi-course sharing menus—think paccheri with rich Wagyu ragù and warm seasonal dishes. Diners often bring special bottles from their own cellars thanks to the waterfront BYO option, lingering until sunset over bowls of tiramisu.

  • Waterfront BYO Dining: Guests can bring their own cellar wines to pair with multi-course Italian lunches directly on the marina.
  • Communal Sharing Feasts: Group bookings and milestone gatherings center around abundant set courses, including seasonal regional dishes and rich pasta.
  • Marina Jetty Setting: Floor-to-ceiling glass looks straight over the jetty, bobbing yachts, and panoramic bay sunsets.

    Guests enjoy access to seasonal regional tasting menus like Barolo and the value-focused 'Winter Warmer' courses without compromising culinary standards.

  • Tiramisu

    SPOILER: da non perdere il dolce “Tirami Su” il migliore di Sydney, buono come quello fatto in casa in Italia!

  • Vitello Tonnato

    We shared the carciofi, vitello tonnato, calamari and paccheri….fantastic.

    Robert Scherini

  • Gnocchi

    The Gnocchi also surprised me. I usually prefer ricotta gnocchi and wouldn’t have picked this, but the pairing of Italian sausage with pumpkin purée was incredibly flavoursome.

  • Crema Catalana
