But that bacon is perfect! None of that brittle streaky crap.

We call that stuff "Canadian Bacon" where I live. Regular bacon is greasy and crisp here.

Sydney has some decent Italian restaurants that offer more than just pizza and pasta. But often I find that the pizza and pasta are what they do best anyway.

One of the problems that I have found with most Italian restaurants I have been to outside of Italy is that they don't seem to care about the presentation of their food. They sometimes cook good food, but you wouldn't tell by looking at it. This is a shame - it doesn't do justice to what they have prepared.

As a result, I don't think I have ever really thought of going to an Italian restaurant in Sydney for a "special" dining experience.

On the subject of bacon myself and a friend went to a restaurent for all day English Breakfasts. I got as usual the vegetarian offering but my friend was shocked to discover he got no bacon with his. I actually asked the waiter if there had been a mistake but no their all day breakfasts did indeed come without bacon. It's like Shepherd's Pie without the mash, fish n chips without the fish. Even though I'm veggie myself I was in shock for my poor mate he had really been looking forward to greasy bacon lol what a ripoff!

I would have thrown the hot breakfast back in their face!

@Manchestr - I know exactly what you mean about the presentation, it all just seems to...die on the plate.

But this is usually balanced by the wonderful Mediterranean decor! All those stone steps, candles and vines really set the scene.
