    Nice eating experience... from walking in the door and being greeted by employee, siting and orden taken as maybe 5 minutes. Meal was fresh, good portion and very good taste. Service was very friendly. Good customer service the whole time. The place is small but good, nice atmosphere. You can enjoy your meal inside the restaurant, or outside at the front. Drinks and food reasonable priced.

    Stopped by for a coffee. Lady who served was nice and polite. Ordered a small almond milk coffee. Coming from Melbourne, cofee didn't really meet the bar but won't judge a restaurant by its coffee.

    Absolutely loved my time here the staff were so welcoming and down to earth, the restaurant is beautiful and so comfortable and the food was so delicious. Highly recommend the mussels and tuna carpaccio genuinely some of the best food I’ve ever eaten

    Fantastic food in a family friendly atmosphere. Service was great. The restaurant was very Mediterranean in style. Felt Greek to me while serving great pizza and pasta.

    Very disappointed, food and drinks slammed down on the table, rocket and parmesan salad had no balsamic dressing and when asked for dressing was given hot, yes HOT blue cheese sauce! I should have known when we entered, the young French girl yelled at me twice to wait over by the road so they could clean the table. We loved this restaurant 4 months ago, will never come back again.

    Unfortunately my experience tonight was very poor. Our starter of garlic bread took 45 minutes and was burnt, flavours and house made chilli oil were delicious however. My dinner guests enjoyed the bolognaise tagliatelle, however I had the special of mussels and spaghetti, which all the mussels were uncleaned, gritty and very overcooked and rubbery. The sauce consisted of olive oil and roughly chopped parsley - this dish was priced at $36 dollars as a special. rip off. Sitting next to us was a large group who were terrible. Drunk, messy and so so loud, yelling, swearing and smoking in the doorway of the restaurant whilst the front of house staff refused to do anything to improve the situation whilst several tables left before us due to this. we were a table of 4 and they were a table of 15+. Unfortunately we decided to leave before we had finished our meal as that large table started heckling us, then applauded when we left. Completely ridiculous that we had to put up with that as we had done nothing to them, and generally when you go to a restaurant you expect to be able to hear the person next to you, or the waiters/waitresses.Not to mention, management suggested we move tables as response to our experience. I would strongly recommend against visiting this restaurant. the front of house and wait staff do not care in the slightest about their customers experience and it seems the chefs are not too far behind them. very disappointing and poor experience waste of money and will not be returning

    A beautiful casual Italian place. The chef and the staff is amazing and polite, the food was out of this world! I recommend pizza & spaghetti scoglio. I will definitely be coming back here again.

    Let me start by saying the staff were really nice and accommodating, portion sizes were impressively large, toppings were generous, and the venue was nice! My rating is mostly a reflection of the Pizza. The pizzas were ok. That’s really all I have to say. They weren’t impressive or ‘stand-out’, but they weren’t at all distasteful. The base was ok and the tomato sauce lacked flavour. On the spectrum of authentic Italian pizza, I would say the pizzas were very average.

    My husband and I are holidaying in Burleigh from Melbourne, and dined here last night. We visited 12 months ago, and the food is just as delicious as it was then. Last night we shared the fritto misto which was wonderful. The batter was light and very tasty, with terrific presentation. We followed this with two pastas - ricotta and spinach cannelloni and spaghetti scoglio, a seafood pasta. Both these dishes were amazing. Overall the food was as good, if not better, than any Italian food we have eaten anywhere, including Italy! Julia and Rosie who served us are delightful, and real assets to the restaurant. We will be returning with our family in September, and will look forward to dining here again. In our opinion it's top of the list of Burleigh restaurants.

    I went there past 2pm. It was not busy. I ordered Carbonara $24. The portion size was smaller than I thought. It’s like entrees size😞 Then it’s very lukewarm 😔 Then it’s quite salty 😣 Maybe the homemade pasta was ok but I couldn’t tasted it well. I know about Carbonara a little bit. It was not right for me. They asked me “How was pasta?” So I said honestly “It was salty for me” Then they said “It’s because of pancetta” I thought it’s normal for them. Unfortunately it couldn’t be my favorite carbonara in GC.

    I celebrated my birthday here with my family and the food is absolutely delicious. The staffs are also very attentive and the food came out on time. We ordered a drink each and like what my sister said, it's worth the money haha. The ambience is also beautiful and calming. My favourite dish was the pasta as it came out so fresh and the serving is big. Try this restaurant and you'll be coming back again.

    I've dined here twice. The food is excellent and the chef really cares.both times have let them down. Not unfriendly but not really interested. If the staff lifted their ae and they changes the chairs to more comfy ones I'd definitely go back. We only went there this time because everything else was booked.

    First and foremost: really nice people running the place. I felt welcomed. Thanks so much. I came for takeaway pizza, which was excellent. On the way out, I saw some pasta dishes on the tables and I thought OMG. I need that hahah. I cannot wait to come back to dine in!!! But thanks again for the friendly service.

  • 2/5 Cyril D. 6 months ago on Google
    The pizzas at this place are absolutely delicious, no doubt about it! However, I have to say, the service left a lot to be desired. We were a large group with a big table, and our orders arrived at random times, which made the dining experience less enjoyable. To top it off, we ordered a charcuterie board for $60 (that arrived last), and it was a disappointment. It consisted of just 2 slices of bread and around 10-15 slices of meat, without even a dip. Overall, while the food was tasty, the service and the charcuterie board left us wanting more in terms of organization and value. Would probably not comeback

  • 4/5 The G. 4 months ago on Google
    We came for lunch recently. We had oysters for an entree they were very fresh. We had the tuna carpaccio. The sauce was far too rich for my liking. But an interesting take on the dish with the little bread doughnuts to dip into the sauce. Just far too much balsamic. The calamari and prawn fritti was nicely presented and enjoyable. I would like to add we were overcharged by close to $30 on our bill. Please double check your bill here before paying. I would return to try some other dishes and I hope our bill error was an honest mistake. .

    Very tight atmosphere. Overpriced and a very small portion of pasta. It was nice food but for the price I would expect it to be outstanding.

  • 5/5 Ignoramus 1 year ago on Google
    Super tasty food, pizza just like a wood fired one. Kids loved their spaghetti bolognese and the Mediterranea Salad. The 2 waitresses working hard and we're delightful. Overall excellent experience. The Tiramisu needs a rebuild, tasted ok but a little too liquid for our liking.

  • 4/5 Antonio P. 10 months ago on Google
    The pasta was light and beautifully cooked. The food was delicious. Service would improve with some staff engagement, as would the atmosphere with appropriate accompanying music.

  • 5/5 Crystal J. 11 months ago on Google
    We had a great night out for dinner, we had the caprese with garlic bread pizza, olives and prosciutto. The starters were great. The ravioli was really good, seafood linguine was okay. The service was wonderful. We will definitely be back.

  • 1/5 Jeremiah S. 1 year ago on Google
    Joke of a place. We waited for an hour and a half (restaurant wasn’t even busy). After an hour and a half they said it would be another 20mins for food - clearly indicating they hadn’t put our order through. Very poor. Then charged us for our entree - most places would be apologetic. Very poor. Also asked for a jug of water which took an hour to get.

  • 5/5 Paul Z. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice cozy place. Beautiful interiors and great views on Burleigh. Simona is just great host. Very welcoming and very friendly. Food is good, pretty standard for Italian place and tasty. Kids menu seems decent, your munchkins should be happy.

  • 4/5 Jennifer P. 2 years ago on Google
    Exceptional Italian food that understood the simplicity of great italian cooking. The Mussels were superb but needed more bread to soak up the soup. Classic pizza and pasta. Would give five stars for food but the ambience a little fast food.
