We shared multiple entrees which were as big as mains. The octopus, prawns and local bugs were particularly nice.

Many thanks Rocio, Gene and Nuccia for making it special (and putting up with us) Will look forward to returning. read less

I thoroughly enjoyed the scaloppini I had. Pricing was good considering the generous size of the serves. Highly recommend it as a venue. read less

Best pizza and service Best place for the family dinner, best pizza and quick service, very friendly, loved this place will be back for sure. Thanks a lot. 🙂

Classic Italian Food Excellent service and food was very tasty and good quality. Definitely a great place to eat when you’re in Surfers.

5 out of 5 - Recommend!

Staff were absolutely lovely and take the effort to give you memorable service - I joked that I was the designated driver and they gave me my drink in a cocktail glass to make me feel better among my friends it was a light hearted and simple touch

Food was absolutely fantastic - we had a chicken pizza and made a few adjusments which was no issues - barely waited 10 minutes for our food to be ready and there was not a single scrap of food left it was simple and delicious - would definitely recommend for anyone looking for good service, great Italian food and some refreshing drinks ! read less

Decided to try it for dinner on NYE and went to see if we could make a reservation. Spoke to Nuccia (I think) who said come back at 5 pm and we can squeeze you in, for us still being on Melbourne time 5 was great.. we arrived back ordered our pasta and entree, all tasted great and the aroma coming from other peoples meals was making me more hungry... will definitely eat here again on our next trip to the GC, can understand why the place has been around so long now. read less

We had a garlic focaccia a pizza and a pasta.

All really nice well cooked and service was all very good. Can’t complain about a thing, but a garlic focaccia, small pizza, a pasta and 2 cokes at $67.

Expensive but good food! read less

The other negative is that, after looking at my account online, it seems they charge a credit card fee which I was not advised of (otherwise would’ve used cash). Yes, it’s only a small amount but they should still be upfront about it as I was not charged the amount that I was verbally told. read less
