Why it's worth checking out
Cicerone ~ Cucina Romana sits on Bourke Street in Surry Hills, one of Sydney's most characterful and food-loving inner-city suburbs. A much-loved Italian restaurant specialising in Roman cuisine, it's earned a strong reputation — combining quality, authentic Roman-style cooking with good wine and drinks and a warm, characterful setting, the kind of accomplished spot that captures the heart of Italian dining.
The appeal is that combination of quality, authentic Roman Italian food, a good wine-and-drinks offering and a relaxed, characterful atmosphere in a great Surry Hills location, ideal for a special dinner, a meal with friends, a date or a sociable night out. Quality Roman cooking done well is a genuine treat, and Cicerone has clearly won over a big, loyal following.
With a 4.5 rating from nearly 900 reviews, it's clearly delighting its diners.
