OTTO Ristorante.
Located halfway along Woolloomooloo's wharf, Otto offers a modern Italian dining experience with a Sydney twist, boasting a stunning waterfront location. Despite being part of the same group as Quay, Otto possesses its own distinct character, offering a private and relaxed atmosphere. With its intimate decor, split-level space, and waterfront seating, Otto is a favourite among Sydney locals, offering a menu that changes with the seasons, featuring rustic Italian flavours. Head chef Ritchard Ptacnik, hailing from the Czech Republic, ensures a stellar dining experience, complemented by the option to take home their signature olive oil, embodying the evolving essence of Sydney's culinary scene.
