Named Ormeggio, which means berth or mooring in Italian, the newly rebuilt harbourside restaurant, bar and take-away kiosk opened  in November 2009. Alessandro, from Brescia, Italy, for four years prior headed up a team of 30 chefs at the Park Hyatt’s HarbourKitchenBar. He has now brought his renowned Northern Italian fare to the North Shore and within close reach of the Northern Beaches and surrounds.  The fully renovated restaurant has postcard views across The Spit waterway and Middle Harbour. Diners can kick back and wile away a weekend, watching boats sail in and out of the marina as the sun rises, sets or simply glistens in a seafarers wake. An intimate bar has been designed especially to take in the sea breeze, providing the perfect space for relaxing with a Pinot Grigio or a refreshing glass of sparkling Italian Franciacorta any afternoon, or for an after work get together.
