REVIEW

Brought to us by Italian power couple Alessandro and Anna Pavoni (Ormeggio at The Spit), a’Mare is the shining jewel in Crown Sydney’s dining portfolio. Despite being set inside a hotel and casino, the new Italian fine diner promises a polished night out without the pretence. You’d think the uninterrupted views of Barangaroo’s shimmering bay and the restaurant’s glamorous, palazzo-inspired interiors would detract from what’s happening on the plate. But the refined dishes are just as demanding as their surroundings. Take the squid-ink risotto for example, which is dark and daring and topped with a buttermilk emulsion and bright pops of roe. Or the signature cotoletta – an impressive 1kg grissini-crusted veal cutlet made to share. There’s no shortage of theatrics either. A memorable basil pesto is made tableside in a large Carrara marble mortar; while gelato is scooped and topped in front of your eyes. It’s a sleek experience that justifies the high price tag.
