For a place to eat or drink, the questions that matter most are simple: is it open now, is it busy at peak hours, and does the menu suit the group you are bringing. Australian cafes tend to open early and close mid-afternoon, while restaurants and pubs run lunch and dinner services with a quiet spell in between, so an off-peak visit is worth a quick call. Card and tap-to-pay are accepted almost everywhere; some venues add a surcharge on weekends and public holidays.

The business lists hours on 6 days of the week. The most common schedule is 5–9 pm. Note that it does not open on Monday. As with most places, expect changes around public holidays; the phone number below is the fastest way to confirm. No phone number is listed for this business, so the Google Maps link on this page is the best route for directions and any contact details Google has on file. Its website is donfred.com.au, where you may find menus, price lists or booking options.

Customers rate it 4.9 out of 5 on Google across 722 reviews, placing it among the better-regarded italian restaurants in Newtown.

A new favourite! The 7-course shared menu was packed with standout dishes, especially the mushroom ragu, supplì and olive meatballs. Delicious chocolate mousse, great vibes, affordable prices, and already planning a return for the focaccia sandwiches.

Located on king Street, the further end. Plant based, first time trying plant based meal. We had the $49for 7 courses, which included 5 entres & 2 main i guess. It had a salad, focaccia with olive spread. Entres included spinach tomatoes risotto ball, crispy contact taste just like calamari , the seaweed sauces to tip with was so good and lastly crumbled zucchini wedges. Then we had mushrooms ragu and signature carbonara. Portion was just right for the 2 of us. I think the owner was the one that served us, he explained each dishes, excellent service. We enjoyed the meal alot. Please support Don Fred for plant based foodπŸ‘

Delicious Italian plant-based dishes cooked to perfection. The salads were fresh and tasty. The pastas were Bellissimo. Lovely staff. This restaurant really deserves all the 5 star reviews! It is only a few doors down from The Vanguard, so if you are catching a show there, eat here for a satisfying, healthy meal that will keep you dancing all nightπŸ’ƒπŸΌπŸ•ΊπŸ»βœ¨πŸ˜‹πŸ˜‹

Highly recommend! Food is so tasty. I didn't even realise it was all plant based. They are exceptionally accommodating for gluten free people and are very understanding about allergies. One of my friends has a lot of allergies and they were kind enough to go through the menu with us to tell us what we could eat. Wonderful vibe with great music. I will definitely return.
