“IL PONTILE is the newbie on the Finger Wharf at Wooloomooloo. It’s a sleek but relaxed Italian restaurant run by fourth-generation restauranteur Mario Percuoco. To help celebrate your love and to match the waterside views, the Naples-born chef is putting on a special Valentine’s Day seven-course menu ($180pp). Expect Sydney rock oysters, jumbo scampi and wagyu beef tartare to kick things off, and dishes like king crab risotto, pistachio-crusted yellowfin tuna fillet and zucchini flowers filled with king prawn mousse to follow. Il Pontile is even giving you the chance to win a $500 Valentine’s Day dinner if you feel lucky. Book here.”
