Best Italian food in Sydney! You can tell the food is made with vision, passion and commitment! Well done candeloris!
We had a great time at Candelori, Smithfield last night. Most of the dishes we ordered were excellent..good taste and textures. Service given by Jake, Pranav and Satish was superb. We will definitely visit Candelori again.
It has been a long time between dining here and it won’t be as long until the next visit. We were a party of 4, we shared entrees of zucchini flowers, barrata, calamari but it was the garlic prawns which were the show stopper, so much flavour, so much depth. Had us scraping the bowl with our breads. For mains we had a variety - spatchcock, steak, tortellini and garfish. The crispy potato’s and broccolini for sides. Each main was well received. Beautiful servings and so flavoursome. The crispy potato’s were just a perfection for a side. The sommelier was insightful and helpful in wine choices and perfect accompaniment to our meals. The wait staff were attentive and always available. The setting was just beautiful. If like me, you haven’t been to Candelori’s for a while, I highly recommend you going back and enjoying this beautiful setting, food and service. I am sure you won’t be disappointed.
Absolutely fantastic experience at Candelori’s Italian Restaurant. From the moment we arrived, the service was warm, attentive, and professional. The food was exceptional — every dish was beautifully presented, full of flavour, and cooked perfectly. You can really tell they take pride in both the quality of the ingredients and the overall dining experience. The atmosphere was elegant yet welcoming, making it the perfect place for a special night out or even just a relaxing dinner. Everything from the drinks to dessert was top notch, and honestly I couldn’t fault a single thing. One of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. Highly recommend — we’ll definitely be back!
Had a wonderful experience at Candeloris on Saturday 6 Feb @ 6.15pm. Teresa’s hospitality and the staff were so welcoming professional and attentive, with excellent service throughout the evening. The food was authentic and absolutely delicious, every plate was cleaned up! Cocktails were unique and well crafted, adding to an already fantastic night for my daughter’s birthday. Highly recommended this fine Italian dining experience. Walking distance to our advantage yayyyy. Our go to venue from now on!!!
