👍👍 We dined at Orzo last night and received 5 star service from Samantha. She was so friendly and attentive, and recommended some great wine. The food was excellent, and there were many things that looked good that we will have to return for!

    Absolutely incredible food! I started with the home made foccassia....don't even think about skipping the bread. Then has the Waygu Cappacio and BBQ Calamai and finished with the deconstructed white chocolate cheesecake. I cannot fault anything, the food was incredible! The waitstaff were so friendly and accommodating. I would 100% be dining here again on my next visit and making sure l my customers book, as it is honestly a restaurant high on my must dine at!

    The food was really yummy and full of flavours. The mocktail was fantastic too. A good service. We do feel that the cost is slightly on the higher side for the food portion. Our bill was $180, we ordered the foccacia, grilled calamari as an appetizer, ravioli, cavatelli, lamb cutlet, and a gelato to share, we didn't order any alcoholic drinks.

    This restaurant is in my top 2 on the Gold Coast! Good for lunch or dinner and never disappoints. Standouts: focaccia to start is a must! And Truffle Gnocchi was god tier. Their wine list is incredible too so spend some money and pick a bottle for your meal. I love that their menu changes frequently and keeps me coming back for more

    Lovely 5 course meal for 6 people (80 AUD pp) Ragu pasta was perfectly cooked. We especially enjoyed the cheesecake dessert, it was a spectacular finish to the meal.

    Indeed, another rising star! Best in Gold Coast so far! Hand made pasta and Gnocchi. Morton bay bug pasta was astounding. Must order.

    Beautiful food! We had the oysters, Burrata and kingfish for entrees, then Lamb cutlets and Fish for mains. Everything was sublime, except the fish was quite dry and overcooked. Dessert was the white chocolate cheesecake wtih watermelon granita and it was divine as well.

    Orzo!!!!!!! Amore mio ❤️ Cuore mio ❤️ Tesoro mio ❤️ Sei tutti per me! We booked for 7.30 PM and we’re given the best table in the house. We we’re hosted by probably one of the best in the world, all the way from Alto Adige. One of the best, coz from 9 PM onwards, our amazingly good treatment continued by another world’s best from our home girth by sea. We are pescetarian and the menu has so many delicious entries to choose from that we asked if it was possible to have a degustation. Not a problem was the answer. After tasting some of the whites, we found a great pairing. Our degustation started with oysters, was followed with kingfish, risotto, orange roughy and a delicious desert. Words cannot describe our tasting sensation. Don’t deny yourself a most memorable experience and be transported to foodies heaven. Mille grazie XO

    The wait staff we amazing and attentive although the entrees came out really quick, witch isn’t the worst thing if your hungry but for the occasion we weren’t in a rush and it was kind of abrupt but food was exceptional the scallops where are stand out for the starters.. The mains where beautiful and outstanding. The nunjda pasta was the outstanding dish for me ! Definitely recommend this place to anyone wanting to try proper Italian food !

    Stunning. Exceeded our expectations in every way. The food was perfect. Flavour, texture and presentation. Tuna crodo and Wagyu Carpaccio with a Radicchio salad to start. Generous portions for entrees and amazing flavours. Linguine with seafood had beautifully cooked fish portions as well as mussels and prawns. Cavatelli with sausage was divine. Both pastas cooked perfectly. Then the finale. For me, I'm lactose free, I copied this off the menu.... Dark chocolate + banana parfait, cacao biscuit, macadamia ice-cream, caramelized banana And it's vegan and delicious. I was blown away. So rare for me to get something so delicious for dessert. We also had a cheese platter with a pecorino and the accompanying crackers, toasted bread, fig, honey and fruit will bring me back. Easily the best cheese platter I've ever seen. As you can tell we were seriously impressed. Great evening.

    We picked this place for our last night out and wanted a fine dinning experience. The food was absolutely beautiful and the staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. We had a comfortable booth style corner seat and loved the fact we could sit close to each other and were left in peace to enjoy our night together. The food came out in perfect sequence. The signature cocktail list is probably one of the best I have had the pleasure of trying. Well done guys. I highly recommend this restaurant if your in the Gold Coast

    Absolutely delicious dishes from start to finish! You can really tell the quality of produce is top notch and cooked so well. A great buzz of energy in the atmosphere so it didn’t matter having my 2 preschool children there as it wouldn’t disturb other guests. Drinks selection was broad and there was something to satisfy all tastes. Definitely coming back when we’re visiting Queensland again. One downside was the toilets which were public ones outside of the restaurant.

    It was my first visit and thank you for explaining the menu in detail. Calamari is a small portion, but it's delicious. Pasta is yummy as well. Very kind service and nice food. I'll try other menus next time.

    Amazing service and amazing food. Suggest going on Sunday fun day for the $2 oysters and half price cocktails. The truffle wagu risotto was a winner!

    Cheers to the staff who told us not to get other food on top of the chef's menu, best service. I reckon the restaurant is doing fusion right if my favorite dish is the Chinese-inspired fish.

    My first visit to Orzo on a recommendation from a friend. Lovely open venue in the Oracle food precinct. Efficient and friendly service, although somewhat difficult to hear the servers due to the masks and background noise. Ordered a couple of starters, the bbq calamari was unexpectedly full of flavour on such a little plate. I did find the many to be quite limited and struggled to find a main I wanted to order.

    Food and service was absolutely amazing. Had the tasting plate, the main pasta and dessert were my faves. But overall, all the dishes were great! And the waiters and waitresses were exceptional! Will definitely be returning.

    It was our first visit but it definitely won’t be our last. Exquisite food and excellent service. Every dish was perfect.

    I was fortunate to make a 6pm reservation at Orzo for two on Wed, Feb 22nd. Polenta blue cheese cracker - tasty, strong blue cheese flavor so my husband was very pleased. Focaccia with anchovy butter - very nice start to my meal. Gnocchi - lovely flavors/textures according to my hubby. Risotto - if you love truffles, and I do, this is an amazing dish...my husband found the truffle flavor overpowering, but I found it delicious. The waitress warned me the white chocolate cheesecake would be like a thickened gelato, and not a standard cheesecake - it was a delightful combination of flavors & textures, and lovely to look at too! We were happily full at the end of our dinner!

    What an amazing restaurant! My wife and I had such an incredible time with some of the most delicious food we’ve had. You can tell the staff put a lot of time and effort into the food and great service. Armando was a great host and made the experience even better. 100% would recommend Orzo as must on the Gold Coast.

    Living in Surfers, you can immediately notice the calm and Food For Thought vibing in this modern dining in the heart of Broadbeach. I met face to face a few salty snacks as more than an incredible appetiser to share or have as a meal. Water, spritz and a sip of wine to lift the palate and cut through the rich flavour of this opulence Mediterranean creation. I will come back for more incredible food and for the fantastic selection of wine and spirits, which makes an outstanding standalone degustation or palate elevation for the whole gastronomy experience. I regret my phone battery was off. These dishes require a better photographer. 😜 I highly recommend a stop at this venue to enjoy an experience. Because food is medicine, pleasure, bond, and memory, it's such a powerful weapon. This venue. Tick all your senses. Enjoy Responsibly.
