About

a'Mare at Crown Sydney

At a’Mare, we celebrate Italy’s greatest loves, incredible food and the joy of gathering around the table. 

Inspired by the coastal charm of Italy and the beauty of Sydney Harbour, our menu brings together the best of both worlds: fresh Australian produce and timeless Italian recipes.

Led by Chef Alessandro Pavoni, every dish is crafted with heart and heritage. Think handmade pasta, vibrant seafood, and bold flavours — all served with a splash of tableside theatre and a cheeky smile. It’s fine dining, but never too serious.

Whether you're here for a long lunch or a special night out, we’ll make you feel right at home, like part of the famiglia.

MENUS

Classical Italian, Fresh & fun

a’Mare means “by the sea,” and that’s exactly where our inspiration comes from. Our menu is a love letter to Italy’s coastal regions, with fresh seafood, seasonal vegetables, and dishes designed to be shared.

From handmade pastas to seafood specialities, every plate is a nod to tradition with a modern twist that keeps things light, fresh, and full of flavour. And yes, some dishes are finished right at your table, just the way Nonna would’ve done it (if she had a flair for drama).

The cellar

At a’Mare, wine is more than a pairing, it’s a passion.

 Our cellar holds over 600 meticulously curated labels, celebrating the diversity and richness of Italy’s most iconic wine regions alongside standout Australian varietals.

We’re proud ambassadors for Gaia in Australia, honouring one of Italy’s most celebrated winemaking families. Recognised with the Best New Wine List at the 2021 Wine List of the Year Awards Australia, our collection houses everything from rare vintages to beloved classics. There’s something for every taste and every toast.

Our sommelier team is here to guide you through the list, share a story or two, and help you find the perfect pairing. It’s all part of the experience.

For every Aperitivo

The a’Mare bar is your go-to for every aperitivo, an intimate space with a generous splash of Italian flair. Featuring the iconic Campari Seltz Machine (one of only four in the world), it’s a little slice of Milan right here in Sydney.

Come for a spritz, stay for the vibes. It’s relaxed, it’s vibrant, and it’s truly la dolce vita.
