Went there for dinner on a Sunday Night. One of the best Italian restaurants in Brisbane. Had the large meat lovers pizza, garlic pizza and fettuccine Leccaditow. Very good portions and value for money.
I would give 10 stars if I could!! This restaurant is like walking into an Italian home and being served home-made, genuine food. The owner, who is also the waiter, is an absolute joy to talk to. He was also very accommodating to my fussy baby. He really made you feel like you're a part of the family. Food portions were amazing! They were SO large, and for such a good price!! You definitely get more than what you pay for! (Unlike a lot of places, he even lets you take home what you can't finish ) I will definitely be back, and be bringing friends!
was walking around looking for a place to eat for our anniversary, and this was absolutely a place we'd visit again! we ordered the spaghetti pesto and fettuccine pollo e fungi, and they were amazing. the spaghetti was so smooth, texture was slightly creamy and chicken was well cooked. the fettuccine was somehow even better, just a bit past al dente but still with bite, fantastic flavours from the mushrooms and onion. not to mention, the host was very considerate of what we wanted! made sure we were okay with parmesan, and gave us waters, salt and papper unprompted. portions were large for the price we paid. super kind man as well, we'll definitely be back to try those pizzas!

Nearest first, then across the Rio Grande Valley.
