Totti’s Rozelle is seriously good. The woodfired bread with burrata is a must-order, and the charred octopus was super tender and full of flavour. We shared the wood-roasted whole snapper, lamb backstrap, and crispy garlic potatoes; every dish hit the mark. Great drinks, great vibe, and great company. Can’t wait to go back. More

Delicious woodfired flatbread and you can watch them making it on the spot. I’ve had the burrata and prosciutto with it before, but was pleasantly surprised at how good the smoked ling dip was! Great service and drinks too.

Ordered a bunch of antipasti and pasta dishes on a night out. This is the first time I visited Totti's and I have to say it didn't live up to the hype. The stand out dishes were the antipasti - the nduja and the anchovies. Everything else were OK. More

Rozelle amazing experience. Food was delicious very authentic nice vibe and very welcoming not rushed very generous seating time of 3hrs. Perfect portions on your plate. Pricing is good. Our plates were polished at the end and took the left overs nothing was waisted that’s how good the food was. Found parking right outside the restaurant 👌. Would like to mention our host Maddie who provided exceptional customer service. She was friendly, very attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. Her positive respectful attitude made our celebration for my son’s 21st memorable. Thank you, Maddie, for going above and beyond! Will be back for future celebrations. Highly recommend Totti’s Rozelle ☝️🥂

I had a wonderful experience dining here. The food was absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish was cooked to perfection and served hot, with great attention to detail.
The service was just as impressive. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made sure we felt welcomed and well taken care of throughout the meal. They were quick to respond, knowledgeable about the menu, and always had a smile.
Overall, it was an excellent experience from start to finish. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great food paired with outstanding service.

We came here for Valentine’s Day. There was literally no service at all. We waited 25 minutes for our order to be taken. I had to get up myself to get table water from a bottle lol. The food is not bad at all. The bread is really delicious. But for the price and service (we spent $120 each), - disappointing.

Another branch of the successful Merivale restaurant.
Their famous wood-fired bread is a must, consistent and delicious. From our experience, must have toppings for the bread (if you like them): prosciutto, tomato - gives some sweetness and fibre, burrata - creamy goodness, chicken liver parfait - saltiness and umami.
The kingfish crudo is fresh, tender and the sauce is actually sweet, but I think it does better on its own than with the bread. Likewise for the tuna crudo which I actually had not had on previous visits to various Totti’s.
The crab reginette pasta was the table favourite dish, perfectly slightly spicy and savoury.
The beef genovese rigatoni was very hearty, with lots of shredded beef.
The 1kg rib eye was not as tender as I expected, more on the average side compared to other steaks. It was juicy but slightly under seasoned.
I do like the fact that they provide a bunch of mustards and sauces separately on a plate for self service.
The tiramisu is usually our go to dessert. It actually is a bowl sized serving size so be warned if you are already full, you may not finish one individually.
I actually find the almond crumble too hard and tty eat the tiramisu without it. It has some really hard bits, almost like shell, making it unpleasant to chew. Other than that the taste was good.
The service is slower at busier times, which is expected.
This venue feels well lit and spacious.

I had dinner at Totti’s Rozelle with five friends and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The atmosphere is vibrant and warm, making it a perfect place for a group dinner. The food was outstanding — everything we shared was fresh, beautifully prepared, and full of flavor, especially the breads and pasta. Service was friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome throughout the night. We all left very satisfied and happy. Definitely a great spot for a fun and memorable dinner with friends. Highly recommend!

We went to Totti’s Rozelle and realised a little late that I’d booked for 4pm instead of 6pm. The team were incredibly kind and accommodating and managed to move us to 6pm, which we really appreciated and set a great tone for the evening.
The food came out quickly and was full of flavour. The lamb ragu tasted excellent, with flavours that were spot on and well balanced, though I did feel it could have benefited from a bit more meat to really elevate the dish.
The chicken and chips were very enjoyable, with tasty sauces and good seasoning. I felt the chicken may not have rested long enough to fully soak in the flavours, as some areas were slightly drier, but overall it was still a solid and satisfying dish.
The almond tiramisu was a highlight. I really enjoyed the added crunch and texture, a great take on a classic and a strong finish to the meal.
The staff were attentive, warm, and genuinely accommodating throughout. Overall, a very pleasant experience with good food, excellent service, and a relaxed atmosphere. Would happily return.
