Welcome to my first post for my new blog, the subject of which is very dear to my heart, my home town - Sydney. Living in Sydney or just popping in for a visit, Loving Sydney will keep you up to date with what's on and what can't be missed each week in Sydney...
This glorious long weekend in Sydney-town has also been a decidedly wet one with the much awaited Jazz Festival in Darling Harbour more of a rain dance then a weekend of soul.. Still did get out to check out Vivid Sydney in Circular Quay and was seriously impressed! The lights were above and beyond this year with amazing effects and pyrotechnics to boot.
While out on the town enjoying all that the City of Sydney's lighting show has to offer I stumbled upon a restaurant I had been meaning to taste out for years.... The Italian Village restaurant did not disappoint.. I had a really delightful meal with an air dried beef entree and a to-die-for cannelloni for a main. Of course being run by Dockside Group - who brought Sydney other such gems as Ice Cube and Star Room - I expected no less. The service was excellent and it was surprisingly affordable for two courses and coffee. I definitely recommend you check out Italian Village's latest specials (such as a $29 lunch - love)!
I hope you enjoyed my first post and if you are out this weekend in Sydney I hope you are having a blast despite the precipitation.
