About Us
Welcome to Attenzione!, our Redfern restaurant and wine bar, where we keep it neighbourly with our unpretentious, delicious approach to food and wine and our drop-in-on-your-way-home vibes. As one of the locals' favourite neighbourhood dining spots, Attenzione! Sydney is all about creating a space that feels welcoming, relaxed and genuinely fun.
The Meaning Behind Attenzione!
In Italian, attenzione means attention, focus and care. For us, it's a reminder to pay attention to the things that matter most.
That means cooking food we're excited to eat ourselves. Our food focuses on snacky, fun dishes that lean Italian, but aren’t strictly stuck to one spot on the map. You can expect shareable dishes, handmade pasta and seasonal ingredients that celebrate the incredible produce available across Australia.
Similarly, our wine list jumps around the place, guided by quality and discovery, with nebbiolo and left-of-field drops front and centre. Rather than chasing trends, we focus on bottles with character and a sense of place. You'll find plenty of local favourites as well as classic European producers and a few unexpected discoveries we think deserve your attention.
Tasteful, classic, fun, great with your pici!
BYO, Your Way
At Attenzione! Redfern, great wine is always part of the experience, whether it comes from our cellar or your own collection. Our BYO offering lets you bring a special bottle, revisit an old favourite or pair something personal with the menu. It’s relaxed, neighbourly and very Attenzione!.

Attenzione! was created by Felix, Toby, Toby and Dex — four hospitality professionals brought together by a shared love of food, wine and bringing people together.
From day one, the goal has been simple: create the kind of restaurant we'd want in our own neighbourhood. A place where the food is memorable, the wine list is exciting and the atmosphere feels like walking into a friend's dining room.
