I recently dined at Fino Vino and had the five-course degustation menu — what an incredible experience! Every dish was beautifully presented and full of flavour. The homemade focaccia was the perfect start — soft, warm, and delicious. The duck and steak courses were absolute standouts, perfectly cooked and bursting with rich, balanced flavours. To finish, the crème brûlée was divine — creamy, silky, and with that perfect caramelised top. The service was warm and attentive, and the atmosphere had just the right mix of elegance and comfort. Fino Vino really delivered a memorable dining experience — I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for great food, beautiful presentation, and top-notch service.

We visited Fino Vino recently and had mixed feelings about the experience. The dessert was the highlight of our meal – beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. The drinks were also great, and the restaurant environment was warm and stylish, perfect for a night out. However, from the moment we made the online booking, we felt the process was a bit too restricted. There were quite a few rules and conditions that made us feel slightly uncomfortable before even arriving. During our visit, the service unfortunately didn’t feel very welcoming. The staff member who served us didn’t smile or interact warmly with us throughout the meal. Ironically, we only saw a smile from him when we left a $30 tip. We came in with good expectations, and while the food was okay and the dessert was excellent, we left feeling that the overall experience lacked the hospitality we hoped for. We hope this feedback helps the team continue to improve, as the potential is there with such a nice space and good-quality offerings.

We had a wonderful experience at Fino Vino for my birthday.The food is absolutely delicious with flavours beautifully coming through. We had the six-course meal and every dish was different and very tasty. The service was excellent, waitresses were very nice, attentive to our needs, and shared very good advice. We can't wait to come back to try new dishes!

We took our only son for his 18th birthday, the three of us loved the place from the minute we entered the doorway. The owner greeted us, we had a great table, she asked if this was the first time here? Yes, it won’t be your last! After the wonderful food, service I think she may be right!

We had a wonderful experience for our anniversary. Highly recommend the 6 course tasting menu. You can pick what you like and the wait staff will help guide you as well. All the dishes were delicious and nothing was left behind and the staff were lovely and very friendly. We will be visiting again.

Beautiful experience! A 5 course menu, every dish a winner. The octopus was particularly delicious, we loved the cabbage and mushroom dishes, the lamb and beef were incredibly tender, and we all lost our minds a little bit with the ginger pudding and lemon ice cream. Lovely and friendly service, gorgeous fit out. Wonderful all round!

Had a lovely lunch at Fino Vino. The menu feels thoughtful and seasonal, and each dish was simple but really well executed with great flavours. The wine list is excellent and the staff were knowledgeable and easy to chat with. It’s a great spot for a relaxed but high-quality dining experience in the city. Will most certainly be returning, outstanding.

We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at Fino Vino. We had lovely wait staff and good size table. We didn't do the feed me option, there were 2 choices. Instead we chose our own starting with the Devine chunk of double toasted sour dough Focaccia. The strong goat curd with sweet beetroot relish went very nicely with the bread. Next we spoiled ourselves with the scallops cooked in garlic butter topped with tomato - simply a great combination when cooked so perfectly. The king prawns in broth were next, really tasty, unfortunately one was a bit over but we still enjoyed. To finish our dinner we had the duck breast in a prune and walnut sauce and scrumptious roast potatoes. They were both amazing, full of flavour and a good portion size. Book ahead and enjoy the share plate menu. They have room for large bookings and the bathrooms were clean and modern. Thank you
