Criniti's - Castle Hill

It was a great service from the Welcoming through the whole service, We have pasta different types all were great, desserts also amazing, the only bad part is the reservation duration, only 1h 30 min is not enough to have a good chat with family and friends. They should think to change to 2 hrs

Quick service despite being busy. One pizza slightly undercooked. But food is always good just a bit expensive so can’t go too often

Great Service Great Meals Come back again Price OK 👍

I have dined at Crinitis many times and always enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. Today the food and atmosphere were average. My salad was the last thing to come to the table and it was a decent wait after my husbands pasta. Some of the food was also bland and quite under-seasoned. Aside from that, the staff constantly looked busy but never like they wanted to provide service and needed to be asked multiple times or sought after by leaving the table. Not until we moved our entree plates off our table did they clear them away having delivered all but my salad. They also didn’t take the extra glasses off the table as our drink orders came with their own glass and no table water was provided. For the price I expect a lot more and won’t be rushing back any time soon.

It was a bummer that 1/2 of our table of 7 didn’t get their meals until the other half had finished but we really appreciated the kind and generous offer of a bottle of wine to make up for it. We’ll be back as a result.

The concierge's accent was so thick it was incredibly hard to understand them. Food was good, but you are very pricey - $82 for a single course and drink for 2 people is right up there and your experience doesn't justify it.

Pasta over sauce, pizza was just sauce, forgot the drinks, and angry waiter

Foot was Great and the coffee too, friendly service in a relaxing atmosphere.

It was a really nice dinner, we invited our overseas friends to the restaurant, they absolutely love it, the food and atmosphere were amazing. We will go there again soon for sure. Many thanks Criniti's.

Online booking was very convenient and always sent reminder via emails and SMS. Food is delicious. Price is reasonable. Everything was good. Only the music, it is too loud to chat.

Great food and service. Only negative is that it’s very loud (music playing) and we struggled to hear each other.

Staff, especially the barrister, was very accommodating and gave great service. Grilled chicken salad was fabulous (would order again) but my friend’s salmon salad was poor - half a plate of rocket with salmon and a couple of extra ingredients - only half a meal as she left half the rocket

Food not as good as it used to be, but serves were large. Noise was so loud inside. Service slow but good

Great atmosphere and awesome tambourine and drums singing happy birthday

Food is really good. Large servings so we took leftovers home.

My son’s favourite food spot and lovely Italian food. Thanks!

Food is always fresh and delicious and the staff are friendly.

Our table was booked for 6.30 to 8pm and we didn't get our meals until 7.30. To begin with service was good. They took our drink orders almost immediately after we sat down but after that service was very disappointing. We would have liked to order more drinks but nobody came near us. After waiting for a very long time and our dirty plates were still on the table we called for wait-lady and asked if we could order desserts and coffee. We have been to the Castle Hill restaurant many times and we were always happy with service but tonight the service was very bad

All good. although we were constantly reminded that we did have a booking with many emails.

They sat us earlier as we arrived early. However, the seating was right in the footpath of the pizza kitchen. Luckily nothing happened but it was early and not busy.

Service was not as expected .casual attitude and didn’t feel welcomed

Food was lovely. We found the desserts expensive. Staff were friendly and attentive.

Great food, can't wait to come back. Well recommended are the veal dishes.

great food, can't wait to return trying other dishes.

enjoyed the food and can't wait to come back.

Great food Great service Family dinners in the Piazza at Castle Hill

The mocktails were incredible, probably the best I've had in a while

Nice organisation and good pizza noice level can be down

We didn’t stay. It was a terrible experience. We had reserved a table for four people, but they prepared a table for only two. No good service. Not enough staff that could assist customers as professional What a shame!

Staff very courteous Spaghetti marinara too overpriced and had very little seafood with 3 prawns all shells and too much thick spaghetti Had to ask for bottle of water twice after considerable time waiting Glass of wine $20…. Really You have a beautiful prime location

Disappointing, we were told they would inform us when they had our reserved table ready. We waited at the restaurant, no one seemed to care, we left.

We all enjoyed our meals - none of us ordered pizza. Criniti's pizzas are delicious, but so are some of the other items on the menu. Staff were all friendly and helpful despite being terribly busy. The noise levels always an issue at Crinit's Castle Hill. We arrived at a good time on a busy night, could see people who arrive half an hour later had a bit of a wait to be seated.

Don't like them serving drinks with their hands & not on a tray. Gave us the wrong, cheaper bill so they're lucky to have us honest people 😜. Table is too small and crowded.

Was denied for a more comfortable seating, instead had to squeeze in a small table for 4 people

Great service & food was hot & dwelicious . A great place to relax .

Enjoyed our time at the venue and will be back

We went at 5pm before it was busy. The waiter was rude, everyone’s orders came out at different times and after we’d finished we accidentally left our toddlers water bottle. We returned within the hour, they had thrown it out and weren’t even apologetic. Won’t be returning.

Don’t go after 8pm! We were presented with the bill just as our dinner was served. Those wanting to pay cash were expected to get up and pay at the register! Then it was last call for dessert & drinks!!! Staff were practically pushing us out the door when we hadn’t even finished our main meal. Why advertise that they’re open till 10pm if they’re stacking the chairs around you at 9.30? The staff were exceptionally rude and ruined our dining experience. Definitely won’t be back & don’t recommend.😡

Food was great and very fast service. Yummy cocktails and great atmosphere.

The table service was very slow. We ordered drinks and had to ask where they were 15 minutes later. Meal portions were generous. Meal was served on a plate with three large chips in it which were sharp. Not ideal. I booked here as I had a great expat the Parramatta restaurant. Service and meals very different between the two. Left disappointed.

The service was poor - apart from one of the waitresses whom got the menus for us after 20mins and after the gentleman that showed us to our seats said he would get menus etc - it was early to so not many customers there - good was nice but service was lacking

Very nice dinner and would definitely come back. Big menu with huge options to choose from

Very good food as we had 4 people dining for lunch, the only issue being some of the seat cushion were torn and needed replacement

Great customer service. Great food. Friendly staff, very attentive to our needs

The food was nice but the service was just OK. We had to wait at 15 minutes for our son’s meal to come out after everyone else’s. So some had nearly finished their meal before he even got his. They also bought the wrong pizza when it was meant for another table

The food was good, big servings especially the fettuccine lamb shank.

The food was great, however the service was back and forth not knowing where whos food belonged too and walking away with food etc, was annoying when waiting fir it seeing it come out and then going back inside with it

Staff was very welcoming and friendly. Loved the food and service. Will definitely visit again. Highly recommend the place.

Had an amazing dining experience at Crinti’s Castle hill! The food was absolutely delicious, with fresh ingredients and perfectly balanced flavours. The service was attentive and friendly. The atmosphere was cosy and inviting. Highly recommend this gem!
