Johnny Fontane's - Darlinghurst

Johnny Fontane's is an Italian restaurant located in the backstreets of Darlinghurst that specializes in deep dish pizzas. The restaurant pays tribute to gangsters of the past with gangster mugshots on the walls and a 'Godfather' horse head decoration. We ordered the deep dish Chicago style pizza and it was delicious, a unique combination of pie, pizza, and pasta sauce. The serving was generous and we couldn't finish it all. We made the mistake of also ordering arancini balls as an entree, which filled us up before the main course. The cocktails were perfect and we appreciated the special on Italian Peroni beer. Another fun touch was the option to purchase cigars to enjoy in the courtyard out back. While we didn't try this, we are looking forward to the experience next time when the weather is warmer. Overall, Johnny Fontane's offers a fun and delicious dining experience.

The food at this restaurant is of amazing quality. Chicago style pizza can be difficult to get just right, but here it was perfect. A full pie easily serves 4 people - we had to take half of it home and it was just as delicious reheated for lunch the next day. The venue is nice, cozy, and well decorated. It's a hidden gem that could easily be overlooked, but definitely shouldn't be missed.

I'm a fan of the Uno Chicago Pizza in The U.S., but since there are no stores in Australia, there is room for local business to fill in the gap. Johny Fontane's is a thriving restaurant in Darlinghurst that I visited with my girlfriend for dinner last week and we were very satisfied with the menu options. From memory, there are 5-6 flavour options and each pizza is large enough to be shared between 2-4 people. For those with a smaller appetite, there are individual slices available stating at $9. The mushroom bruschetta entree was amazing and our waiter, a bloke from Scotland, was very attentive. I'd certainly recommend a visit to this place and look forward to eating there again in the future.

I went to the restaurant last week after hearing multiple things about it online and was very eager to try the deep dish pizza. Once we arrived all the waiters were very informative and friendly. We did order some pizza and it took a very long time to be served. The waiter made up for this by giving us some extra slices for free which did make it alright.I had the Capone deep dish pizza. It wasn't as good as i was hoping it would be but still wasn't bad and was something different in sydney to try.Overall a nice spot to try and very friendly staff

This is such a cozy bar in Darlinghurst, with pictures of mafia men all over the walls. I particularly loved the jazz music playing, and the dim warm lighting everywhere. We came here for drinks and an event in their upstairs space. I must say I adored their deep dish Chicago style pizzas! One slice was so filling, and I loved that they were actually properly cooked through. We ordered a few drinks for the night including the house wine which we actually really loved. The Sicilian Iced Tea was something I actually really enjoyed with strong apricot flavour, but it wasn't to everyones taste. We also ordered the High Society which we didn't really enjoy for the overpowering cucumber taste. Service here was definitely nice and friendly however, and I probably will come back for that pizza, wine and jazz music :)
