This little treasure is one of my favourite restaurants in Sydney. I just wish it wasn't so hard to get to from the Eastern suburbs!
I went to Pilu at Freshwater with a foodie friend from Melbourne. What a gem! Everything about this dining experience (except for the commute) was fabulous. We were thoroughly looked after by some very knowledgeable staff who are obviously passionate about what Pilu has to offer. The wine list had wines I had never seen in Australia before and the staff were very helpful in their recommendations. In fact, at the end of the night they wrote down the wines for us with some suggestions on where in Sydney we might be able to find them.
The food was glorious too. Sardinian cuisine at its best. Everything was wonderful and there was so many great things to choose from. Normally there's one or two things that grab me on a menu, but here it was everything. The food was truly wonderful. I am also grateful for a friend happy to share the dining experience and what's on their plate too!
The cheese selection was also very special and again offered things not widely available elsewhere. Giovanni Pilu, we were told, tries very hard to source things that are not widely available in Sydney, in order to share them with his customers. Giovanni, I am truly grateful!
This restaurant made me reconsider my preference for French cuisine, and made me an Italian convert. Or is that a Sardinian convert?
Pilu at Freshwater is at the end of Moore Rd, Harbord 02 9938 3331.
