The Adelaide Food Guide 2010 "Sparrow offers high-end casual eating via smart share and main dishes, from light tapas to three-course meals, pasta and pizza"

Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide 2010

Gourmet Traveller 2010 Australian Restaurant Guide "The cross-pollination of tapas with Italian comfort food has attained swank status in Adelaide, with Sparrow attracting the must-be-therenow crowd to sample its cool Euro style: mosaic flooring, a charcuterie counter with jam6n Iberico, aged prosciutto and a classic Berkel slicer beside an open kitchen"

The Australian Food Eating Out, John Lethlean, 13-06-09 Score: 2.5/5 "On a light-filled corner site with its own courtyard, Adelaide's restaurant du jour has a menu of biblical proportions ... The notion of tapas, however, and that of a restaurant tasting menu built around small dishes, are quite at odds with each other. Never mind. Sparrow is hot. With its wood-burning pizza oven in one corner, communal tables, fancy bar and rustic glazed crockery, this is a hybrid of so many places on the east coast, themselves hybrids. At lunch, Sparrow is chockers with women, all undoubtedly fans of the skinny male waiters and approachable food. At night, I imagine the place to be incredibly social. Sparrow has a tasteful vibe that's difficult to dislike."

Adelaide Advertiser Tony Love, 11-3-2009 Score: 15/20 "Full of buzz, this new, open-plan dining room, bar and outdoor area combo tapas, pizza and grill offers high-end casual eating via smart share and main dishes."
