Dinner for two We had walked all around the Cavill avenue shops area looking for a place to eat. It was the delicious aroma of this delightful Italian Restraunt that caught my wife's... read more attention as we were on our stroll.

We were quickly welcomed to a table and each given the customary glass of waterand the menu.

My wife chose Scallopine Alla Panna and I chose Scallopine Boscaiola .We had a drink each and the meal came within 10 minutes.

Both meals were served hotter than we expected but this was very welcome.The waiter peppered our meal with suprising enthusiasm and we had to ask him to stop but it was the perfect amont for us. The veal was tender,the sauces beyond what we expected in flavour and outright yumminess. The only thing I would have liked is a few more vegetables with the meal.

Overall the whole experience was a 9/10.

The waiters were very polite. Very Italian and very well mannered efficient and alert.

The Restraunt was very busy and the team effort between chefs, wait staff and the maitre'd reflected in the cheerful vibrant feel we experienced while we were there.

Not being a big drinker ,I did notice that there wasnt much choice on the wine list and I might have chosen a red if It was recommended to me. . A small thing only .

We shall definately go here again .

Beautiful food at this restaurant. The service ws quick, the food was delicious and we had a great time! Would definitely go back again.

Buonissimo Great value and service. Tip to eat before 5.30pm for 50% meals. Had the pizza twice - excellent. Staff are attentive and friendly.

Best meal of the weekend! 10/10 for service & 10/10 for our meals! Great place to eat, third night out on Surfers and the best so far! Would defiantly recommend and will be back. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Good food, friendly service For lunch we selected Barramundi and Garlic Prawns, both dishes have been very good

and the salad was crisp and fresh.

Italian Manages to have Italian vibe among the skyscrapers. Food was great. We had the Mussels, bruschetta and a napolitana pizza. Good service, present but not too intrusive

Fantastic food This restaurant is centrally located and lots to see around. The pizza I had was amazing,great service and very friendly staff.

I would definitely recommend a visit.

Lovely staff, nice pasta; pizza disappointing My partner and I came here for an easy dinner one evening. They have 25% off prior to 6.30pm, which makes it reasonably priced - before the discount, pastas were... read more $25-30 and pizzas $22-25, which is quite pricey for what you get. The pasta I had was delicious - prawns, olives, sundried tomatoes and chilli spaghetti. The sweet potato chips were also excellent. Unfortunately, the pizza my partner had was VERY salty, which was disappointing. However, the staff were very friendly and helpful, and overall it was a nice experience. read less

Nice and easy... Had a good meal in this Italian Restaurant in Surfers ‍♀️ Paradise. Amazing to see how a chinese cook bakes the pizza By the way the veal was very well...

Brilliant, best food and service!!! You can’t get better than this. We were a family of 3, our young daughter loved the food and was treated superbly.

Great family friendly restaurant We really enjoyed our visit here. There was 12 of us (6 adults and 6 young kids). We sat outside. Service was great, very efficient and friendly and the waiter... read more was especially good with the kids. Lots of little things that made the experience easy and enjoyable - such as plastic cups for the kids, the waiters recommendation of us getting jugs of juice rather than individual drinks as cheaper, extra plates for sharing, separating pasta and sauce (fussy kids). Absolutely nothing was too much trouble. Adult meals were great. I had marinara which was delicious. We ordered before 6pm so got the 20% off which represented great value. I would definitely recommend and will certainly return. read less

Nice location. Appetizer was great main was average Stopped in for a quick bite to eat and had the scallops to start which were delicious.

Some extra filling between the mounds of noodles would improve it in my mind and would allow a smaller serving with the same filling qualities. Service was on point. Good selection of drinks.

Delicious This restaurant is an institution and has been around for over 30 years. Great quality food and service.

Stellar seafood and cosy atmosphere Took my partner here for a rare, budget-be-damned date night. The restaurant has a relaxed family feel without trying too hard to be intimate, so it was an ideal location... read more for starting our night. We opted for seafood for all our courses: calamari to start, followed by two different types seafood pasta. The highlight was the Fettucine D'oro, which was a generous serving of fettucine with king prawns, bacon and spinach in a creamy garlic sauce. Their most expensive pasta, but so worth it. After a shared starter and a main each, there was no room left for dessert, a lesson learnt for next time.

The wait staff treated everyone - regulars, locals, and tourists like ourselves - like we belonged, but were also adept at reading people's preferences for being interacted with vs. left alone. That suited us fine, as we don't do the romantic date thing very often, so when we do there are few things more irritating than an overly attached server. A+ to the front of house staff who clearly know how to read a room.

This will be added to our roster of regular Gold Coast restaurants, for sure. read less
