Everything we had was delicious and fresh. It was very exciting to taste regional dishes that aren’t very common to find in Australia. I particularly loved the tigelle with the guanciale spread! The pastas were excellent. Can also recommend the light and fluffy crescentine. The homemade almond biscuits and Vin Santo dessert wine were the perfect end to the meal. Service was attentive and friendly, too.

We had lunch at Rustichella and everything was delicious. We had the Burrata on Heirloom Tomatoes, Tomato Bruschetta, Potato Gnocchi with Free Range Chicken Ragù Bianco, Spaghetti Carbonara, Infused Pappardelle with Polleo Beef Ragù, and the Affogato. Dishes were fresh with good portions and service was excellent. Looking forward to going back and trying other dishes.

The food and service is always fantastic. Can’t fault it. Would highly recommend if you love authentic Italian and pasta. For Entree, we had the Tigelle with Modena Pork Pesto and Crescentine with Prosciutto and Parmesan. I had a special for my Main. I can’t recall the name but it was fantastic. Their Limoncello cocktails were also great. A more expensive option, but absolutely worth it. I’ve seen some reviews saying portions are small, but I disagree. Pasta is very filling so it was enough and I didn’t feel overstuffed 🙂

This spot is fantastic for veg fried rice and chilli momos. The service is commendable, and the atmosphere is excellent. However, the prices are slightly on the higher side compared to other places.

I have been to this place multiple times. The food is amazing and staff are friendly and helpful. Out of all the food I definitely recommend the chicken momo platter, Chow main and fried rice. They also serve drinks including alcoholic drinks.

The best Thai food we’ve had in Brisbane. We enjoyed the Phuket style Fried Rice, Pad See Ew and a Red Curry. The Pad See Ew had that proper wok charred flavour to it and the ingredients in all dishes were fresh and of high quality. You can really tell that the chef takes pride in their cooking. Lychee iced tea was also really nice and refreshing. We’ll be back!

You shouldn’t go there thinking about Korean sushi, but it’s the best in Brisbane! The staff are all friendly, the food comes out quickly, and best of all, it’s a great ice cream restaurant 🥰 They also have gluten free options.

Hands down my favorite sushi train restaurant. dishes are always fresh and they will always make things fresh for you if you ask. wide range of entrees, small sushi rolls, large sushi rolls, a aburi, nigiri, hand rolls, noodle dishes, platters, drinks, and desserts. My go-tos are always the California rolls, the gyoza and anything with fresh salmon. Star for always very, very friendly and helpful and provide great and quick service. sometimes there’s a line but it isn’t too much of a a white until there is availability. ordering through an iPad with pictures so you can see what you get. take away also available. parking is not quite that easy. atmosphere is lively and friendly.

Always good service from staff here! We got two steaks, unfortunately only had pepper sauce or gravy options but the salad that came with had a very tasty dressing. My steak was a little chewy but my partners seem done well. They also have guava cruiser on tap which is random but definitely a thirst quencher. Very prices here. We’d only come down for specials or if we get $ off in the app

We got the chicken parma and sirloin steak. Both chips and salad and was top notch. About time a salad doesn’t come with raw onion. We loved how it came pickled. The chips both had good crunch and texture. I had the parma and I like to think I’m a parma connoisseur, I will definitely be back for it. I mean the cheese, the chicken wasn’t dry and all round good meal 🤤 The size of it was fantastic too! My partners steak was cooked to exactly how a med rare should be cooked. Had great char flavour and came with bone marrow butter 🤤 we also got the garlic bread and salt and pepper squid to start. Yum yum yum. We will definitely be back. Not sure before the renovations what the establishment looked like, but I definitely think it’s a great feel.
