The award-winning business was originally established in 2003 by husband and wife team, Frank and Rima Criniti. At 23 years of age at the time, they were driven by a passion for fine quality food.
There on the main strip, The Grand Parade, the restaurant features two-level rooftop dining with waterfront views. A classic Italian cuisine will be on offer for diners.

There is an extensive kids' menu complete with Penne Napoli, pizzas and classic contemporary favourites. Criniti's is also home to kids' pizza making parties.
NRL greats Beau Ryan, Aaron Woods, Dale Finucane, Paul Gallan, Willy Mason, Trent Hodgkinson, Josh Mansour and Wendell Sailor were there on the evening of the launch, also attended by a collection of Sydney's foodie influencers.
Head of Marketing, Francisco Porragas, says it's an exciting venture.
