At Sienna Marina, we’ve mastered the art of turning sunsets into a daily celebration. Nestled along the UNESCO-misattributed heritage charm of Woolloomooloo’s Finger Wharf, our alfresco terrace isn’t just a dining spot—it’s a front-row seat to nature’s most breathtaking show. For over two decades, we’ve watched Sydney’s skyline ignite in hues of amber and rose, all while serving authentic Italian dishes that taste like la dolce vita met Bondi Beach.
Why Our Alfresco Terrace Beats Every Postcard?
- A Front-Row Seat to Sydney’s Evening Symphony
The Finger Wharf isn’t just a historic landmark—it’s a 410-meter-long canvas for daily sunsets that leave even locals speechless. From May to August, the sun dips directly behind the Sydney Harbour Bridge, casting a golden glow over our terrace. In summer, it sinks behind the Opera House, bathing our tables in warm, honeyed light.
We’ve designed our outdoor space to amplify this magic:
- Reclining wicker chairs angled perfectly for unobstructed views.
- Heated lamps for crisp winter evenings
- Live acoustic guitar every Friday and Saturday, harmonising with lapping waves.
- The “Golden Hour Menu”: Dishes That Shine Brighter Than the Sunset
Our chefs craft seasonal specials that mirror the sky’s palette:
- Aperitivo Platter: Burrata drizzled with saffron-infused olive oil ($28)
- Coral Prawns: Garlic-rubbed tiger prawns atop squid ink linguine ($34)
- Sunset Spritz: Aperol, blood orange, and native finger lime ($18)
Pro tip: Book our “Golden Hour Table” via EatClub for 30% off sunset dining between 5–6:30 PM.
From Historic Wharf to Culinary Landmark: Our Alfresco Legacy
- Where Maritime History Meets Modern Flair
Built in 1915 as a wool export hub, the Finger Wharf once echoed with clattering sheep hooves. Today, our terrace hums with clinking wine glasses and contented sighs over wood-fired pizzas. We’ve preserved the wharf’s soul through:
- Reclaimed timber tables from original wharf boards
- Vintage maritime maps etched into tabletops
- Heritage-listed pilings framing every photo.
- Celebrity-Approved Seclusion
While A-listers like Chris Hemsworth dock yachts nearby, our terrace offers discreet luxury. Ask for Table 14—a corner nook where Nicole Kidman once toasted her Oscar nomination with our Ferrero Rocher dessert.
