North Bondi Italian Food had been tempting me for weeks. First Reb piqued my curiosity when she tipped me off that it was a good place for vegetarian food.

Then I wandered past a couple of times on evening strolls and was struck by the restaurant’s romantic view of Bondi Beach, all waves lapping gently on the shoreline reflecting lights along the coast.

So, when some close girlfriends and I wanted to celebrate one of our number’s impending wedding, North Bondi beckoned.

North Bondi offers a traditional Italian food and wine experience in a modern, romantic setting. The menu is divided into sections, such as cheese, vegetables, salads, pastas, seafood and meat.

There are two pasta mains for vegetarians to choose from, plus a number of vegetable and salad dishes. I had the orecchiette, cherry tomatoes, ricotta and basil. It was a little creamier and richer than I had expected, but the tomatoes offset the ricotta with their strong, pert taste.

The authentic Italian touches and mature, European decor combined to make for a relaxed, special evening. And so a couple of happy hours, and two bottles of Italian white later, we left North Bondi.
