Pizza and spaghetti was good I came by at happy hour so we get 25% discount which is great.

Pizza and spaghetti was good. We love it.

Will come back if we have chance.

Very nice place Very nice place with good service. They offer very good lunch discount. Everything is 50% duscount( no steaks and no seafood). We ordered prawn pasta and it was amazing.

Half price off all meals during lunch Really worth it if you dine between 11am-3pm as its half price for all meals except for steaks.

The portion was really huge and good for 2 smaller eaters to share.

Quality Italian at reasonable price Price is what you expect from a better than average Italian. We just had garlic bread and Veal and Chicken mains. BYO wine OK @ $5 pp.

Dinner for 7 I cannot praise this place enough. They managed to find a table for 2 adults and 5 kids, without reservation, during an extremely busy night!

The food was brought out in... read more impeccable time, and was delicious. My 2 kids are extremely fussy eaters and struggle to try new things, however they loved everything that we asked them to try.

I also want to thank the lovely waitress who served us. She is beautiful and friendly and still managed to smile even after one of my kids didn’t quite make it to the restroom before getting sick.

We will definitely done there again! read less

Delicious and fresh oysters. I had the fettuccine D’oro which included beautiful fresh king prawns. It was one of the best dishes I’ve ever eaten. My husband had the steak Diane which was cooked exactly how he requested - he even said it was the best steak he has ever eaten (big call from a very picky eater!)

Apparently we have to go back to this restaurant every day for the rest of our holiday because it was so good! Every aspect of it was great.

Would highly recommend trying this restaurant (and will recommend to all friends and family who visit the Gold Coast). read less
