“Woolloomooloo has a new restaurant in its ranks and her name is Il Pontile. With a name that aptly translates to ‘the wharf’, Il Pontile slots easily into the upmarket neighbourhood of the Finger Wharf, maintaining an aura of fine dining while bringing with it a slice of old-world Italy translated into a contemporary Sydney setting. Joining the likes of Otto and China Doll, Il Pontile brings star power in the way only Australian dining can: moulding high-calibre flavours and an impressive wine menu with a comfortable alfresco setting. When you’re this close to the water, it just makes sense to order seafood, with options a pistachio-crusted tuna fillet and the kingfish with tobiko. Make a reservation here.”
