Civico 47

Civico 47 sits on Windsor Street in Paddington, one of Sydney's most elegant and characterful eastern-suburbs neighbourhoods. A much-loved Italian restaurant, it's built a strong following for its warm, generous cooking and convivial atmosphere — the kind of charming, authentic neighbourhood trattoria that's become a genuine local favourite.

The appeal is that combination of authentic, well-made Italian fare and a relaxed, welcoming setting in a sought-after location, ideal for a leisurely dinner, a romantic meal or a catch-up over good food and wine. In an area with discerning diners, building this kind of loyal following speaks to a place that does the classics genuinely well.

With a 4.8 rating from nearly 600 reviews, it's clearly delighting its diners. Menus, opening hours and pricing change with the seasons, and a popular neighbourhood restaurant fills up on weekends, so it's worth checking current details and booking directly before you go — particularly if you're after a table at a peak time, dining with a group, or planning a relaxed Italian meal in Paddington.
