"Great food, great coffee, awesome service and wonderful atmosphere."
"I ordered ,mamma’s homemade lentil soup served with garlic bread ."
"The home-made Italian meatballs & SOUPS are delish!"
5 Amazing super fresh food! The schnitzel panino was next level, the schnitzel had a nice crunch, the chips were great and everything tasted like it was extremely freshly made with good quality products. The eggs Italiano were really really good, to be honest maybe too much sauce for me but that's a preference thing and I just ate less of the sauce. The eggs were perfectly poached and the sausage was tasty and authentic Italian sausages. The theme and decorations were cool too! 10/10
5 Five Dock are truly blessed to have this cafe at their feet! This beautiful cafe delivers the most outstanding dishes! I love the way they have tastefully decorated and excecuted their interiors, a very luxe Italian vibe! The menu offers the staples with their own fanciful twist! Not what you’d expect, highly recommend you pay them a visit - you’ll be pleasantly surprised! Can’t wait to return! Outdoor seating was also available which is nice if you love people watching!
5 The best panini in Five Dock made with pane Di casa. The greatest coffee in Five Dock Staff are very friendly.
5 The main reasons why we chose to eat at Natalie were because, we heard that the food was good, and the prices were reasonable, and the atmosphere was festive. When we arrived, we were surprised to see an empty cafe . The host asked us where we would like to sit and we chose a seat in the back near a beautiful Panting . The restaurant looked like it was just pulled out of a Italia vogue magazine. The entire cafe was gray and white, it was really festive, but its what you would expect from fivedocks best Italian cafe. I liked the lighting it was warm neon and all lit up like a Christmas tree. The best thing by far was the attentiveness of the waiter/owner (we were the only customers). As time went on, people started to show up and the place seemed less empty. The prices were wonderful for 2 people to eat it was roughly $61.50 dollars. Which for the amount of food we were served was great! By the time we were half way through the meal, I couldn't eat another bite! I ordered ,mamma’s homemade lentil soup served with garlic bread . It was delicious I loved every bite. The food was given to us fresh, hot and steamy from the kitchen . That meal cost $15.00, and the dish it was served in, looked like a skillet it was so big. Not bad for the price. Giulia ordered The grande breakfast which had Fried eggs bacon Italian sausages hash brown Fried tomatoes fried mushroom spinach . It cost $26.00, and was served simmering in a hot dish with Italian sourdough bread on the side To drink I had a freshly squeeze OJ The cost $9.00 and giulia had a Beautiful cappuccino that cost $4.00 which was amazing and I had to order there famous in my eyes Nutella shake Which cost $7.50 I highly recommend this cafe The food was absolutely beautiful atmosphere was amazing Peter you made my experience very memorable I will definitely be coming back here as The service that you provided was five star service I will be telling all my friends and family to come to 5 Dock to actually experience the best cafe in five Dock Food 10/10 Service 10/10 Atmosphere 10/10 Coffee 10/10
5 This place is amazing!! I got their Italian sandwich and the funny thing was that I couldn’t fit my mouth around the sandwich, a very good problem to have unfortunately however, the the other identical sandwich I got for my sister didn’t have cheese in it which was a disappointment. However, it was absolutely delicious and so generous in size and filling!! The staff are so lovely and attentive. I also got their large pane di casa which is HUGE! I highly recommend this cafe when in Five Dock.
5 Natalina in Five Dock is a must-try for anyone craving authentic Italian cuisine. From the moment you step inside, the warm atmosphere and friendly staff make you feel right at home. The menu boasts a wide array of classic Italian dishes, all prepared with fresh, high-quality ingredients. Coffee is delicious also. A standout dish is their bruschetta, pictured here. The perfectly toasted bread provides a delightful crunch, while the vibrant toppings create a symphony of flavors. The creamy avocado contrasts beautifully with the rich, runny poached egg, all drizzled with a sweet balsamic glaze. The roasted tomatoes add a touch of sweetness and depth. Each bite is an explosion of textures and tastes, showcasing the kitchen's attention to detail and commitment to flavor. Beyond the bruschetta, Natalina offers a diverse menu with something for everyone. If you're looking for a delicious and genuine Italian dining experience, Natalina is the perfect choice.
5 First time visiting this great cafe, in our local area and was impressed. Greeted warmly, table cleared quickly and delicious breakfast.My fritters were the best, not doughy as many can be, plenty of relish, (I do like enough for all my fritters ) the only comment would be to extra toast the bread under the avo as it goes a bit soggy, on the Avolina. Will definitely be back.
