Book NowAbout Piato Restaurant
Run by brothers who greet you by name, this McMahons Point staple treats neighborhood dining like Sunday dinner. Tables spill out onto Blues Point Road for morning flat whites and eggs before shifting gears into long Mediterranean feasts. Regulars point straight to the slow-cooked lamb shoulder—tender enough to fall apart under a fork—alongside plates of grilled souvlaki and house-churned tzatziki. Save room for the baklava cheesecake layered in crisp filo.
- Owner-led hospitality: Steve, Tony, and the family team greet guests personally, tracking regular orders and pacing group celebrations with ease.
- All-day neighborhood dining: Pours barista-made coffee and breakfasts street-side each morning before transitioning into full Mediterranean dinner service.
- Signature Greek cooking: Specialties include fork-tender slow-cooked lamb shoulder for sharing, calamari, and house-made baklava cheesecake.
