We headed to Nove on a balmy Sydney summer afternoon. Sitting outside, looking over the Woolloomoolloo wharf to the city skyline was very pleasant indeed.
Cat started with a refreshingly bitter Campari soda, which was welcome on a hot and humid day.
I had whole snapper with a sort of olive, orange and pine nut tapenade. The fish was fresh and tasty, nicely cooked so the skin was crispy but the flesh moist. The tapenade worked well although it was oilier than necessary.
I tasted some of Cat's pizza - goats cheese, pumpkin and pesto - which was your classic thin-based variety and was yummy.
We washed the meals down with a Patina rose from Orange. It had a vibrant campari-red hue and was lemony and acidic with hints of berries and spice. Not too sweet. Nice and refreshing.
I grabbed an affogato for dessert. It was great. Really good coffee with that proper vanilla ice cream with vanilla specks through it.
Service was attentive and friendly.
Our meal came to $88 (would have been cheaper if it wasn't a Sunday). It's substantially cheaper than the other restaurants on the wharf and still does good, simple, fresh pasta, pizza and a small selection of meat and seafood.
