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

Authentic Italian My partner and I visited Thursday night 28/3. Booking online was easy.

The restaurant is located in Orchid Ave Surfers with inside and outside (kerbside) dining.

This is casual dining... read more but with an extensive Italian menu that was a trip down memory lane. If you are looking for fantastic, authentic Italian cooking, look no further. Our meals were superb.

We shared two starters of creamy garlic king prawns and bruschetta. Both were generous, beautifully cooked and delicious. For our mains we both ordered Scallopine con Gamberi. Words fail to truly give justice to this wonderful dish. The veal was perfect - soft, just cooked, melt in the mouth. Served with a sauce that was light and creamy topped with a few king prawns. Simply outstanding food served with perfectly cooked seasonal vegetables.

The wine complemented the dishes and rounded our evening off beautifully.

Service seemed a little confused at times but was not really an issue when our waitresses were warm, friendly and passionate about the food. The only thing I would suggest is to request a pause between courses. Italian this good should be savoured, over time.

Simply a wonderful place, knock out food and happy staff. Highly recommend it. read less

Nice food, nice service We passed Costa D'oro Italian while walking along Orchid Avenue a few times and decided once night we would give it a try. It wasn't a very nice night due... read more to the rain and cold but we sat outside under cover near heaters and it was nice and comfortable.
