Queen Margherita of Savoy

Queen Margherita of Savoy sits on Surf Road in Cronulla, the popular beachside hub of Sydney's Sutherland Shire. A much-loved Italian restaurant, it's earned a strong reputation — combining quality, authentic Italian cooking (with pizza and pasta among the highlights) and good drinks with a warm, characterful setting, the kind of accomplished spot that captures the heart of Italian dining near the beach.

The appeal is that combination of quality, authentic Italian food, a good drinks offering and a relaxed, characterful atmosphere in a great Cronulla location, ideal for a relaxed dinner, a meal with friends, a date or a sociable night out. Quality Italian done well always draws a loyal crowd, and Queen Margherita has clearly become a genuine favourite in the Shire.

With a 4.6 rating from more than 470 reviews, it's clearly delighting its diners. Menus, drinks lists, opening hours and pricing change with the seasons, and a popular restaurant fills up over weekends, so it's worth checking current details and booking directly where needed before you go — particularly for a weekend, a group or a table at a peak time in Cronulla.
