Chef and owners Aniello Bortone and Reth have worked in unison for the past 10 years across a number of Sydney’s most popular restaurants. Hailing from the humble town of Aversa next to Napoli, Nello grew up watching his family make traditional Neapolitan dishes, this is where his love of food began. Working alongside Reth, also a chef and the front face of Semola, his enthusiasm for impeccable customer service and quality ingredients shines through. The dynamic duo are an authentic representation of what it means to eat and breathe true Italian food.

The food as always is spot on, the service is always very good, however last night they had a few walk ins, which impacted the service as I think they needed more staff to cope with that.

I found Elements Brasserie via a search online and saw the Surf & Turf Monday special, so booked it in. The food quality was quite impressive and the service was very friendly and professional. The ambiance and aesthetic of the restaurant was really quite nice too (except for the table near us with young children running around everywhere!). Will definitely return and am excited to try other meals on the menu too (as well as the S&T again!!).
