About Sella Vinoteca

Sella Vinoteca delivers authentic Sardinian culinary traditions and bottles rarely seen in standard Sydney trattorias. Tucked away in the Newmarket precinct, this neighbourhood vinoteca bypasses predictable pasta tropes in favor of regional dishes like house-made fregola, hand-shaped gnocchetti sardi, and silky Cantabrian anchovies served warm straight in the tin alongside crisp pane carasau. Tables regularly turn into lively blind tastings when staff challenge guests with mystery wine pours by the glass, while larger dinner parties can order à la carte across the entire menu rather than getting locked into rigid set courses. Tables look out over the park greenery, with fresh focaccia and a curated bottle from the in-house wine shop rounding out an easy afternoon.

  • Distinct Sardinian regional menu: Hand-rolled gnocchetti sardi, fregola, and Cantabrian anchovies warmed in the tin bring regional Sardinian culinary heritage to the table.
  • Interactive wine experience: Floor staff guide spontaneous blind tasting challenges with mystery wine pours alongside an internal retail cellar.
  • Flexible large-group dining: Parties of up to twelve can share dishes freely across the entire food list rather than being locked into rigid set menus.

  • Flexible Group Dining Without Set Menus

    Large tables of 12 or more can order à la carte dishes to share rather than being forced into rigid, fixed set menus.

    we weren’t restricted to a set menu and were instead able to choose a selection of dishes to share, which made the evening feel far more relaxed and enjoyable.

  • Seamless Milestone Celebrations

    Dedicated event coordination and private dining options make birthdays and professional milestones feel effortless and welcoming.

  • Parkside Dining Beside the Playground

    Seating opens right out to the Newmarket precinct playground within direct sightlines, letting parents relax while kids play safely.

    Also amazing to have a fantastic playground right next door within line of sight from the restaurant seating so kids could come and go while adults enjoyed their feast.

  • Stress-Free Family Accommodations

    Prompt kitchen pacing delivers children's meals first alongside prepared high chairs so young families dine without friction.

    the kids food came fast and first to keep them happy. Adults had delicious food and wine. Then off to the playground after to burn it all off.
