$$, Italian, Woolloomooloo
Fodor's Review:
Few restaurants have the magnetic pull of Otto, a place where radio shock jocks sit side by side with fashion-magazine editors and foodies. Yes, it's a scene. But fortunately it's a scene with good Italian food and waiters who have just enough attitude to make them a challenge worth conquering. The homemade pastas are very good, the slow-roasted duck with green lentils a benchmark, and the selection of Italian wines expensive but rarely matched this far from Milan. Next door is a sister restaurant, Nove Cucina, offering pizzas and dishes from Otto's menu at lower prices.
