killer view - sunshine and beach. Friendly staff, not pushy, just attentive enough. I had the fish and chips and the fish was perfectly cooked with crispy batter, sole. The chips were perfection, crisp outside and soft inside. Yummy side salad.
The boys had prawn and mango salad and it was beautifully prepared and very tasty. Only $15 off the 'lunch special' menu. Someone had the crispy fish burger $15 off lunch menu. In hindsight I could have done that and thrown away the bun. The serves are generous. We had an antipasto plate to share. The scallops were exquisite. I'd have them as a starter next time. We'll be back. 4 of us had a yummy 2 course meal and non alcoholic drinks for $120.

Eaten at Corretto twice now. On both occasions the food was exceptional. Great service with a vibrant atmosphere. There is a strong culture among the staff who know how to attend to patrons and give them a good dining experience. Highly recommend the wagyu burger and seared tuna salad.
I’ll definitely be back!

In the crowded esplanade strip at Dee Why Corretto strands out for the sheer breadth of its offerings - breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, happy hours and pasta nights. There are tables for 2 and tables for big groups, and a nice spot out the front which looks across the busy road to the beach.
On a busy Sunday the food came out fast, and there was no problem dealing with a range of allergy requests, with gluten-free and vegetarian options.
There's a good range of beers, wine, tea and soft drinks.
The burgers were big, the salads fresh and interesting and the fish and chips hit the spot
A good choice for a Sunday family lunch or in Summer.

We haven't been to Dee Why for while and decided to try the restaurant on the beach which used to be 24 now it's Corretto. The food was terrible and the coffee tasted odd obviously hadnt cleaned the coffe machine in ages!Practically the whole menu was deep fried and so expensive. The chairs we sat on were filthy and the toilets disgusting. A tall young man was behind the bar making cocktails all the time and was very rude when we asked for service. If we were the owners we would sack him! Don't believe the good reviews they must be fake Save your money and eat elsewhere.

We had such good service here tonight.
The place was very busy with only two waitors who were both efficient and friendly.
Our food was divine. All three of us said not any of the dishes weren't cooked to perfection.
It's definitely the best place in Dee Why and iv been to them all.

This restaurant is easy to find despite the Google map showing it back from the street (The Strand Dee Why). It is next to the Sand bar on the northernmost block of the Strand and if you can't find parking go to the Dee Why Surf Life Saving Club at the end of the Strand where there is "endless" parking especially at night.
We tried the antepasta entree for two which is nearly a meal in itself, after which I had a very good Fish and Chips. This is a mistake unless you are really hungry because their food is good but filling so you walk out very full. I rate the food quality very good. The service was prompt and friendly but they forgot I ordered a second beer which I put down more to the place was busy rather than incompetence.

I had been dying to try the food here after stopping by a few times for a drink pre covid and I wasn't disappointed. When we walked in, we were probably the oldest patrons seated but we didn't let it put us off. We shared the scallops for entree and the flavours were a hit. I had the tuna tacos and they were the best I think I've found. The tuna was seared to perfection and the dish so light but filling. Dessert I went for the pina colada panacotta and it was so light and cleansed the palette. The young guitar soloist was also a hit and fit the beach vibe perfectly. We will definitely be back

Admittedly I was not sure whether the food here would be as good when prepared for takeaway... but I was very very wrong. Our takeaway meal was amazing, just as good as eating in - everything was hot, fresh and delicious (particularly the gnocchi which was divine as always). Will be back for more takeaway soon!!

I arrived at 18:10 for a friend's birthday. I had to pull the waiter to get my drinks as nobody was coming to our table and when I went to order the food he walked away. I tried to contact the waiter but he didn't look to my face. When my drinks came I told him that I wanted to order the food but I couldn't. He said that I couldn't order the food anymore because the booking would finish at 19:15 and there was somebody else coming
I came in, got some drinks, then I wasnt able to get my food. I've been to hundreds of restaurants in Sydney, and this is the worst experience I've ever had.
I wasn't expecting this judging by the reviews.

Hi Fragner,
As you've already taken down your google review as it is in no way indicative of your evening, I would hope you do so with the above as well. Your 5pm friends birthday booking at our restaurant was held as we have always supported the friends of Gigante Team Australia. It is disappointing as previously mentioned that although over an hour late to your booking, even though we continued to hold all your tables, you then weaponized the ability to review through 'get me a menu and food or we'll leave a review'. Disappointing from a group we have always supported as a business. I would hope you remove this review as you've already done so on google.

Great setting. We were seated on the pavement outside the restaurant with only the road between us and Dee Why beach.
Restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. There is a separate menu for breakfast but the same menu choices are available for lunch and dinner.
There were three of us for lunch. I had the Prawn salad, which was a good sized serving and quite delicious. My companions had the Crispy Skin Barramundi and the charred chicken and avocado salad. They enjoyed both dishes.
There is a good selection of beers and cocktails available as well as a choice from around 40 different bottles of wine from sparkling to Rose to still whites and reds.
Service was friendly although they did forget to bring one of our sides. This error was quickly corrected.
We will dine here again.

This is the restaurants third remake in several years. They have all been good venues.
The new Corretto is more for a younger set as you find people not only having dinner or snacks but sitting drinking beers or cocktails.
Staff very friendly and professional, food good and drinks good. Great guy singing.
The only negatives is the menu is narrow for food, beer types and wines.

Just had our first take-away from Corretto. Absolutely amazing - food and cocktails exactly the same sensational quality as being in there when the world was normal.
Can’t recommend this place more highly. Superbly run and fantastic value and quality.
At this time local, individual restaurants are struggling the most and we all need to rally to support places like Corretto as it would be a travesty if they were not here at the end of all this.

First visit to this cafe last week, menu was varied, food was delicious and the location by the beach perfect.
I have to say our waitress was attentive, competent and charming, I unfortunately can't remember her name. She was on her own managing the orders of a large number of customers efficiently and in a timely manner, she was impressive!
