Ormeggio at The Spit
Book the boatArrive the way the harbour intended
Two-hatted contemporary Italian on the water at d'Albora Marina, The Spit, Mosman. Arrive by water taxi and step off at the marina.
Ormeggio at The Spit is Alessandro Pavoni's long-running contemporary Italian dining room at d'Albora Marina on Spit Road, Mosman. Floor-to-ceiling glass sits almost on the water, with yacht masts and the wooded Middle Harbour headlands filling the view.
The food is modern Italian and technique-driven — handmade pasta, local seafood, a degustation that changes with the season — and it holds a long-standing reputation as one of Sydney's best waterfront rooms rather than simply one of its prettiest.
Because it sits inside a working marina, arriving by boat is genuinely the natural approach. A water taxi from Circular Quay, Rose Bay, Balmoral or Manly drops you at the marina pontoon metres from the entrance, and you skip Spit Road traffic and the bridge entirely.
