A polished George Street Italian with a beautiful historic room, strong breakfasts and pasta, and genuinely standout service—but the bill can climb fast and consistency is not perfect.
Contini George Street delivers solid food quality anchored by reliably praised pasta, tiramisu, and breakfasts, paired with attentive service in a striking former-bank setting on George Street. Inconsistent execution across visits, with occasional cold or bland plates, prevents a stronger grade. The venue's architectural appeal and central location create genuine destination draw, but variable consistency keeps it from approaching grade A territory.
One caveat: Some diners found the restaurant colder, louder, or more echoey than they expected from the decor.
