Welcome to Chiosco by Ormeggio
Perched on the jetty at d’Albora Marina in Mosman, next door to Ormeggio at The Spit, Chiosco offers a relaxed waterfront dining experience in Middle Harbour.
As part of Maestro Hospitality, Chiosco is led by acclaimed restaurateur Alessandro Pavoni, Executive Chef Victor Moya and Head Chef Joshua Vargas, bringing the group's signature commitment to authentic Italian cuisine and warm hospitality to Sydney's waterfront.
Inspired by the seaside trattorias found along Italy’s coastline, the menu celebrates traditional Italian dishes designed for sharing.
Sun-drenched by day and comfortably sheltered year-round, Chiosco is BYO, barefoot-friendly and proudly Italian at heart.
Relax, gather with friends and enjoy a long lunch, casual dinner or takeaway by the water — benvenuto e buon appetito.
