"The rustic tones carry through to the kitchen, where chef Ruben Catellaz (Ombretto and Fratelli Fresh) and Sanjeet Senchury oversee a menu of Italian inspired dishes"......"As the sun goes down Ruben takes the reins in the kitchen, continuing to ensure only the freshest ingredients appear on your plate."
Broadsheet: "The Sawmill is on the site of an old timber mill, and the space honours the heritage of its Italian owners, Domenico and Susan Murdocca and head chef Ruben Castellaz, and Pymble’s history as a timber-producing area in the 1800s"....."Speranza emerges from the kitchen"....."It's an experience that transports guest to the Bay of Napoli, where Speranza grew up and studied opera."
