Editor’s Note

Last updated 21 Jul 2026

Our take: Publico Ristorante offers a trendy Italian dining experience with a strong focus on ambience, particularly in its outdoor riverside seating.

We note consistent praise for the Calamari, described as well-fried and lightly breaded, and the pizzas, which reviewers highlight for their crusty, chewy edges and generous toppings.

The Eggplant Parmigiana and Beef Ragu Pappardelle also receive positive mentions for their flavour and execution.

While some dishes like the Crab Ravioli sauce and Tiramisu (due to alcohol content) have mixed reviews, and the duck was noted as tough by one diner, the overall food quality appears solid.

Service is a standout, with multiple accounts of warm welcomes, attentive staff, and managers effectively resolving issues like order mix-ups.

The live music and riverside setting contribute significantly to the dining experience, making it suitable for special occasions or a pleasant evening out.

We think it's a good option for those seeking a vibrant atmosphere alongside reliable Italian fare, especially if you appreciate good service recovery.

Best for a relaxed dinner, particularly if you can secure an outdoor table.
