Antica

Italian restaurant

👍👍 We had a great evening at Antica. The place was buzzing for a Wednesday night which speaks for itself! Our waiter Harry was fantastic start to finish and couldn’t do enough to help! Food was amazing! I had the fennel sausage pizza which was delicious and my partner had the seafood pasta in Napoli...

Rosmarino Italian Restaurant

Italian restaurant

👍👍 Rosmarino has a beautiful sophisticated setting that makes you feel like you could be anywhere else but Brisbane. A heritage vibe with a lovely classy classic fit-out. Half way through a bottle of exceptional Etna and some good conversation, I had to remind myself I was not in London. What was even...

RUSTICHELLA Pasta Bar

Northern Italian restaurant

👍👍 My favourite Cabonara, the flavours are just amazing and it’s hands down the best Cabonara I have ever had. Crispy bacon, buttery and eggy and salted to perfection. Fantastic service and great menu selection.

The Pizza Garden Australia

Pizza restaurant

👍 Great night out with the family, outdoor seating, great atmosphere. Because it's so popular it is a bit of wait on service. Most of the food was excellent, some meals need more attention. Arancini was perfect, magnificent crunchy outside soft flavours on the inside. Bruschetta was great, no traditio...

👍👍 Delicious Italian vegan food! It is a restaurant located in the West End and is 100% plant based. The customer service is very good, the staff is very friendly and they care a lot that you are enjoying the place. The food is very delicious and the presentation is very nice. With my partner, we ord...

Ripiena

Italian restaurant

👍👍 We had made an online booking for dining in on a Thursday night. Upon arrival, we were promptly acknowledged and directed to our table. The starter and pasta menus were truly unique for an Italian restaurant in Brisbane. The staff were very happy to chat about the dishes, the sourcing of the ingred...

Toscano Bar & Kitchen

Italian restaurant

😐 We had a great night at Toscano. The food was good, but it really isn’t special. I have had my fair share of mid to high end Italian food and the food from Toscano is average. Don’t get me wrong, technically the food is good but I wouldn’t come back. The service was hit and miss, we had a excellen...

Scugnizzi

Italian restaurant

👍👍 Simply blown away that these are actually pre-made-for-take-away pizzas. These pizzas are above and beyond what you get at most high-end Italian restaurants. Though I’m not usually a fan of thick pizza dough, this is definitely one of the exceptions where I happily devoured the focaccia-like base. T...

Yavanna Plant-based Restaurant

Vegan restaurant

👍👍 The best and most incredible dining experience I've ever had! Everything was spot on and very impressive. The food, atmosphere, music and service was 10/10. Staff were so approachable and friendly, there's lovely decor and plants, had a great mix of music playing. Prices don't blow budget and are w...

Ramona Trattoria

Italian restaurant

😐 A casual, small Italian restaurant in a quiet suburb with a lean menu and average food. The restaurant was opened on a Monday, and was packed. Reservations are usually required as they only have around 15-20 tables. The service could be much improved; as it was disorganized, messy and not in par to...

Bar Rosa Vini & Piatti

Italian restaurant

👍👍 We went to Bar Rosa for a birthday celebration. It is bijou - but we rocked up at 6.00 and they fitted us in along the side bar looking out. People watching and intimate. All the food was excellent. The oysters were fresh and went nicely with the rosé. The tuna crudo and focaccia were both real...

The Italian Plate

Italian restaurant

🫤 Boy this place falls short on almost every area except service. The ladies service was fast and friendly awesome. But if you looking for good Italian food don't come here. The arancini came out cooked but cold in the centre, says it has cheese in the centre but had to look for it and we'll couldn't....
