YUMM Family of 5. 3 grown adult children. Had a nice dinner here. If you like your Italian this is the place to eat.

Great service and food Great service and excellent food. We order pasta and pizza, both was very good. The waiters are very sympathetic.

Absolutely fantastic! Wow! Fabulous evening. Nuccia Michael Gene Julia and all the staff so welcoming and inviting. We were in Surfers just for one night (from Ireland staying with my sister in... read more Brisbane) and had been looking at menus during the day. And we def picked the right one Fillet steak to die for and the Diane sauce was exactly how it should be. All the food and wine was amazing. Anyone visiting surfers for first time this is your spot. Yes it is a little bit more expensive than some but it is worth every dollar. As we were ready to leave a storm broke and we were kindly told we could stay as long as was needed. Truly lovely people 100% quality and customer service #wewillbeback Lin & Jock read less

Italian on the Coast My wife and I experienced this restaurant this evening and without doubt the food is excellent and if you are staying on the Gold Coast, the location is also excellent.... read more I would recommend the Fettuccine D'oro and the Ricasoli Chianti was also an excellent choice. However the service, although very good at the start became virtually non-existent. An experienced head waiter who could guide the young, inexperienced staff would go a long way to improving the restaurant overall.

Our initial contact with the staff was very good, shown to our table provided with a menu and drink list, order taken in an efficient manner and food provided in a timely manner, unfortunately that is where it stopped. While we in the restaurant - approximately 1.5 hours the staff never returned to the table to top up a glass, check on the quality of the food served or ask if we needed anything more than what we originally ordered. We were never approached to see if we wanted desert or coffee or extra drinks.

Perhaps the owners of this restaurant are happy to generate all of their revenue from an entree and main meal. read less

Italian dining without going to Italy This excellent restaurant is located in Orchid Avenue - a palm tree lined street located one block back from the beach at Surfers Paradise.

There is indoor seating and a large... read more covered outdoor dining area at the front, which is perfect on the many warm and sunny days you can expect on the Gold Coast.

We were greeted by a waiter called "Simone" (that's an Italian name, pronounced as - Si-mon-eh), who spoke both fluent English and Italian, like a few of the other waiters. We were given very attentive and professional service throughout our lunchtime meal, and you could easily imagine you were sitting in a restaurant in Italy.

As we were there for lunch during the week, many menu items were half price, including most of the pasta, pizza and some of the meat offerings. This offers fantastic value dining, when you compare it to the dinner price for the same food.

The pasta we ordered was just like from nonna's kitchen - excellent authentic flavours and very generous size dishes. We tried the tortellini, fettuccine and spaghetti.

The pizza was excellent - a well-cooked crust and quality toppings, which easily beats all of the cheap pizza chains like Domino's and Pizza Hut.

If Italians dine here, you know the food must be good!

A bit of trivia - translating "Costa D'oro" from Italian to English gives "Coast of Gold", thus "Gold Coast", which is where this restaurant is - at Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast. read less

Great Italian Food Great food, fantastic service. A solid bet for unpretentious Italian food. Good for kids and a convivial atmosphere.
