Great food and service - Ettalong has a bit of a food vibe as well as a quirky cinema so you might like to check it out if you are on that side of town

If you are a foodie and looking for something different, you will not be disappointed. Occupying a prime corner venue at seaside Ettalong, Neapolitan chef Nico Coccia (who’s done stints at the famed El Bulli, Quay and Otto) gives his native Italian fare a Central Coast twist based around woodfire cooking. Diners can see into the open kitchen where meat sizzles on flames; even the cultured cream butter is smoked. His locavore ingredients come from land and sea, including lobster from McMasters Beach and lamb from Mangrove Mountain. Wild greens and edible saltbush are used as flavourings for local pipis, fire-grilled, then tossed with a creamy, spicy pork butter. Italian-French Alexandra Coccia, Nico’s wife, oversees the excellent wine list. The restaurant was recently awarded one-hat status for the second consecutive year by the SMH Good Food Guide.

Beautiful wine bar that make own pasta and cool all good over open fire. I’m not sure how kid friendly this place is as only been with husband so maybe give a call. Alternatively I have number for babysitter (preschool teacher) if you need.

Osteria showcase the best of the land and the sea, cooked over wood in their charcoal oven. This is no ordinary cooking style, there is fire flame and the smell of smokiness fuelled by iron bark, stone fruit and olive wood timbers.

Book in for a degustation style set-menu for a special occasion. The menu changes, but is always an interesting, delicious combo of flavours.
