About Makaveli Bondi

This Glenayr Avenue haunt runs an electric double life—a precision espresso bar by morning that morphs into a candlelit Italian cocktail den by sundown. Groups flock here for the high-octane bottomless lunches where servers keep spicy margaritas and espresso martinis topped up before glasses ever graze empty. Regulars slip in after dark for the Tuesday pasta deals, pairing plates of vodka rigatoni and pillowy gnocchi with house wine under dimmed lighting.

  • Rapid-Cadence Bottomless Service: Staff manage table rounds with speed, keeping margaritas, spritzes, and sharing plates arriving without delays.
  • Day-to-Night Transformation: Mornings center on dialed-in espresso, matcha, and hearty breakfast plates before transitioning to evening pasta and wine specials.

  • Quality Morning Food and Coffee at Fair Prices

    From precise dark roast coffee and cold drip to wholesome breakfast plates, morning staples are prepared with care at accessible pricing.
