When the bill came, each risotto was double the price of the one on the menu. You see, Roberto, the main problem was the attitude problem-the outright rudeness, the lack of hospitality or accommodation and professionalism. We’ll take it.” The risotto was fine, but almost room temperature. Besides which without my glasses I can’t see anything you wrote.” With a huff, he said he would take it back. “NO, you said TWO!” My friend said to him, “No, she distinctly said one.” He then said to me-always rudely, “You saw me write two!” To which I responded, “I have no idea what you wrote. This time we asked another server, explaining that since we were the only ones in the restaurant, why could not the music be changed or lowered? So he did it.

The music was very loud “Led Zepplin-ish”, so I kindly asked our Italian waiter if he could put on something “piu delicata” - softer, more delicate. In fact, we were the only customers when we entered. He was fabulous! Yesterday I suggested Aria to a friend, saying how cute and cozy it was, the food good, and during off hours -it was 4:30pm- it would be nice and quiet. We used to come to Aria often, especially when there was this wonderful Russian server there. My husband and I frequent restaurants of all sorts, including many 4 star Michelin restaurants around the world. I live down the block from Aria Wine Bar.

Walk-ins will be welcomed at the bar, which will serve some new, casual snacks by Bickford alongside cocktails and glasses of wine as curated by Kirkwood. “The coronavirus has affected us like many others and the break has really challenged us to think about what’s next for Aria”.Ĭo-owner Anna Solomon, Moran, head chef Joel Bickford and sommelier Alex Kirkwood will all be involved in the new wine bar concept, finessing the space to provide a laid-back platform for rarities and favourites, backed by the traditional Aria dining experience. “The team and I are delighted to be able to open our doors again and bring the very best in fine dining experience to Sydney”, said Moran. Although things haven’t quite started off on the right foot for their 20th anniversary year, for obvious reasons, part of the dining institution will be transformed into a dedicated, 1700-bottle wine bar showcasing more than 80 wines.Īria has long-been known for its wine list, so this double-down will come as welcome news to the restaurant’s loyal fanbase. Matt Moran’s acclaimed Aria has announced the reopening of its doors on 14th July, with a massive change to part of the restaurant.
