Verace is the place to go to for the most authentic Italian pizza that you can get without flying to italy. I would come here every week if I lived closer to them! I always order the diavola and it never lets me down, plus their home made chilli oil is to die for! Family run, Italian owners too so you know it’s legit. Family friendly, not stuffy and easy parking.

Despite living in the area (Hornsby) for decades, we had not been along to this venue. Very glad to have now "discovered" The Fox & Hounds! Yes, a busy (and at capacity) Saturday evening... but the staff were attentive and responsive, even given the high workload. The food quality was very good-excellent! We will happily return!!! Fully recommended! Matthew, the maitre d', helped "make" the evening with his helpful and entertaining guidance.

Everything was was very good but somehow we lost our outside table that was pre booked which was disappointing for us. Maybe rebooking doesn’t work??
