Argyle Terrace

Welcome to The Argyle Terrace - Caminetto's Restaurant, a heritage-listed former residence turned restaurant located at 13-15 Playfair Street in the inner city Sydney suburb of The Rocks in the City of Sydney local government area of New South Wales, Australia. This stunning property was designed and built for Thomas Playfair from 1883 to 1884 and is now owned by Property NSW, an agency of the Government of New South Wales. The building is also known as Former Harry's Bar and Sorrentos and was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 10 May 2002. As you explore this historic site, you'll discover that the subject land appears to have been largely undeveloped until the 1870s. In fact, the street now known as "Playfair Street" was not shown on a plan of the area dated 1868. Since the mid 1870s, the street has been known by a number of names: New George Street, c. 1873 - 1876; Little Gloucester Street, c. 1877 - 1886; Harrington Street, 1923-1953; and Playfair Street, from 1953. The 1868 plan shows the subject land, part of a large block generally bounded by Argyle Street to the south, George Street to east, Union Street to the north and Gloucester Street to the west. A laneway cuts through the south eastern portion of the block, accessing the properties fronting George Street and a large building connected to "Flour mills" located opposite the site. As you step inside The Argyle Terrace - Caminetto's Restaurant, you'll be transported back in time to the late 19th century when this building was first constructed. The interior has been beautifully preserved and restored to its former glory, with intricate details and period furnishings that will leave you in awe. But the real highlight of this property is the restaurant itself. Caminetto's Restaurant offers a unique dining experience that combines traditional Italian cuisine with modern Australian flair. The menu features a range of delicious dishes, from classic pasta and pizza to fresh seafood and succulent steaks. Whether you're looking for a romantic dinner for two or a group celebration, The Argyle Terrace - Caminetto's Restaurant is the perfect destination.
