An Italian restaurant hidden away in Surry Hills. Not easy to find - which makes it even more rewarding - but very busy when we were there. Fantastic, fresh, al dente Italian cooking accompanied by the mother of all wine lists. Try the crab if it's on.

If you want to get out of Sydney there are a few options.

The Hunter valley for a day of wine tasting (if you want to stay overnight, try Peppers).

The Blue Mountains are another option.

However, for a day to remember get the seaplane (seaplanes.com.au) up to Berowra Waters. Have lunch there and then fly back.

The restaurant Forty One at the top of Chifley Tower has private dining rooms. You can enjoy breathtaking views of Sydney Harbour and the city’s impressive skyline, and the food is also excellent – there's a six-course dinner menu with wines chosen by the sommelier.

A day trip out of Sydney. Good food and of course good wine.

Nice places to stay in if you want to make the trip a weekend break.
