Next Door - Sydney

Service: friendly, casual, served at the bar, no table service. Ambience: dim lit, cosy Food: Whatever you do just get the gnocchi. If you like thin crust pizzas, you'll love this place. The wait for the food is less than 15 minutes. The food is from Made in Italy - Next Door CBD is from the guys who own Made in Italy. And Next Door CBD is next door to Made in Italy... (what a great name for a restaurant!). So if you like the pastas and pizzas from Made in Italy, you'll indeed love the food Next Door! Crowd: on a Friday night, it's populated and since the space itself is small Amenities: clean Prices: your typical CBD price tag - $20-25 per dish for dinner, they have a $10 pizza happy hour special though, so you will save $8-10 if you go from 5-6pm. Based on these qualities, I give the restaurant a 5/5.

Well hidden within York Lane, really not somewhere you would accidentally walk pass & discover. Mid week dinner with a big group, our organiser found this place on the Internet. Not to be mistaken with the Made in Italy next door, this place has more of a bar/bistro vibe. Our group pretty much taken over most of the dinning room. The food came out pretty quickly. We had a range of pizza for the table, and a few pasta. I had the Pescatore pasta, which was mixed seafood with garlic, chilli in a Napoli sauce. The sauce & the pasta was nice, the seafood was a bit scrappy and was mostly fish. However kudos to the place for offering gluten free pasta, my colleague tried it with pesto chicken and was happy with it. Overall, the food is about average, but the atmosphere was great.

Great little pizza place that serves wonderful cocktails. It's a great spot to meet up with friends and very close to Wynyard station. I highly recommend the carbonara fettuccine and the mamma Mia gnocchi m. The customer service is excellent here.

I've always loved Made in Italy as they hold the bar pretty high for me in terms of classic Italian so it was great to visit its latest inception, 'Next Door'.    Great 90s tracks set the atmosphere, a fully equipped bar to warm up the pallette before a night of pizza and pasta. Cocktails: MADE AT YORK LANE - apricot, citrus and rosemary infused Bombay Sapphire is deadly.   It's the kind of cocktail that will creep on you where you end up dancing on top of the tables. GIRL NEXT DOOR - has the same nice peachey colour except is Bacardi with Watermelon, and Cucumber weaved through.   Perfect choices for summer nights with a nice freshness to them. Mains: We had the MAMA MIA with gnocchi - it's italian sausage with cream, chilli and napoletana sauce.   I actually prefer my pastas with a bit of heat and really enjoyed this.   The CARBONARA is the classic comfort dish and is done well here. - creamy pearly sauce with smoky bacon mixed through in an aldente pasta - so good.     The GAMBERI pizza with prawn, oregano, chilli flakes was awesome, nice crust and nice combination of flavours singing through each slice. Great service from our host Mauritzio, excellent wait times from ordering and top quality food.
