“IL Pontile, which translates to jetty/pier, is appropriately named with all the superyachts that literally pull up for lunch at Woolloomooloo Wharf, which assuredly will include entrees of mussels, kingfish and house-cured ocean trout followed by owner and head Mario Percuoco’s signature dish, Linguine al Cartoccio, linguine with mixed seafood, baked in a parcel, brought to the table where the server deftly unfolds the paper to reveal a generous serving of pasta, prawns, calamari and more. While the menu is rather seafood-centric, meat and vegetarian dishes have equal footing. Definitely, hold out for dessert, one masterful Sfogliatelle Torta di Crema, layers of whisper-thin pastry filled with cream and topped with berries.”
