You cannot get better. My wife and I have been regular visitors to Costa D'oro for a few years now and we keep coming back.

The selection of pizza & pasta is excellent and I... read more recommend the Spaghetti Puttanesca or any of the Scaloppine.

Best Italian food The best Italian we've ever had. The flavours of the dishes were second to none. We loved it so much, we had to return a second time during our recent... read more holiday.

Friendly staff and lovely wines on offer too.

Get in early though as it gets extremely busy. I'd recommend booking a table as even with this, you may have to wait.

Getting the attention of the waiters was difficult when seated outside as they're so busy.

But once you've ordered, the food comes out so quickly, and you won't be disappointed!

We will definitely be back the next time we holiday on the G.C. read less

WHAT A GREAT FIND! We just loved this place! it was a bit of everything really. Friendly and efficient service, really good food, good vino and just a great feel. Sometimes the sum is... read more far greater than the pieces, and this is the classic example. We went to more expensive, flasher places, but this was definitely our favourite. You were so good with our 4 year old, we had a longer dinner than we usually can with him as he was kept interested/entertained. He actually made me go back the following day to get him some more garlic bread, he's never done that before. Well done guys, you have created a great family restaurant and we can't wait to get back there. read less

Which was fantastic as by this stage Miss 9 was verging on hangry. Mr BG enjoyed a beer while I had an Aperello cocktail (aperol, vodka and limoncello delight).

Great Italian restaurant The Costa D'Oro (Gold Coast in Italian) is a simple and good restaurant: with most of the tables at the sidewalk you will dine while people keep flowing around, which,... read more in the case of Surfer's Paradise, is interesting.

The restaurant has a wide variety of choices, all generous. Service is kind and prices are reasonable. Would certainly return. read less

30 years later and still so good! My family have been coming up to the Gold Coast ever since I was a little child. We’ve always frequented Costa D’oro, for its delicious food, generous portions and warm... read more atmosphere.

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
