The food was delicious and the service spot on. Gene was friendly and efficient and everything arrived promptly. I had A Puttanesca sauce with my pasta which was really good; it was full of shrimp and had the perfect amount of chilli. With a Pinot Noir to wash it down and plenty of iced water for the table of friends, a great time was had by all of our group . To make everything even better, most of the menu was half price at lunchtime. We'll be back. read less

Great Place! Great Place! Plenty of seating room, and great service! Amazing food as well! Overall, I’d definitely come back, knowing I’ll be getting outstanding food.

Last week 30 of us went for lunch and everyone commented on how fresh and tasty the food was!
Further, we recently spent 3 weeks touring Italy and we now know first hand that their food and service is world class. Their food is as good, and in most cases better than most of the food we tried in italy! read less

Our children love the food, there are excellent choices for even the fussiest of kids.
Last night I ate arguably the best steak I have eaten in my life. I asked for rare, and it was cooked to perfection, hot inside yet rare as ordered and an excellent cut of meat. As usual, the ambience is excellent, a direct result of the owners and staff who make a point of very attentive, personal and prompt table service. We have been coming here for the past eleven years and experienced superb dining yet again. read less

One of our favourite things here is the nutella pizza. As huge fans of nutella pizza we are very critical of this dish wherever we go, and may i say this was one of the best we have had. Base was thin and the whole thing was just made with the right amount of ingredients. Needless to say we finished the whole large pizza. I must say that looking around while we were dining here i couldn’t believe the attentiveness of all the staff. Tables were cleaned and ready for next customer, there was never a moment when staff were doing nothin. They always asked how we were, how was the food ,did we need anything. Good service is very hard to find and this will keep customers going back. Thank you for delivering such great food to us.
We are looking forward to dining here on our return to surfers paradise . read less

Lucky find for us as it was Valentines night and they had just one table available due to a no show reservation.

Very good value for a lunch or small bite when travelling in Gold Coast. Try the Italian beer as well, very tasty and cool. We ordered four different pizzas in two different visits.
Highly recommend to others, we will be there again the next time travelling to Gold Coast. read less

We noticed the 1/2 price lunch sign and had a look at their menu and decided to give it a go. A good range of their menu was half price for lunch. My sirloin steak salad was delicious. Beautifully cooked steak with baby spinach leaves, beautiful soft and salty feta, sun dried tomatoes and a ginger/lime dressing. It was a perfect lunch dish. I'm not sure I'd be happy with the serve if i paid full price. Husband's enjoyed his small pizza. read less

Went first on a Friday night,without a booking,and even though they were extremely busy we got a really warm welcome and a table was found for us.
The food was sensational...Scallops in the shell for entrees and my wife had calamari as a main whilst I had the BEST Barramundi ever.
We returned yesterday for lunch and got the same great service and again the food was sensational.
1 dozen oysters Kilpatrick and the delicious scallops
We highly recommend this place...brilliant from start to finish read less
