Got two takeaway pizzas tonight: margarita and vegetarian.
They were ready super quick (in less than 15mins) and were really good.
Great bases, margarita had something delicious going on, and the vegetarian was a nice different take.
Our toddler loved them too. $47 for both. Would recommend for sure.response / report this review -

Wow, what a disappointing evening. Having accidentally knocked over an empty wine glass whilst pouring wine for others (yes our fault), we were concerned that shards of glass may well have gone into a small entree side salad opposite. We asked the waitress if it might be possible to get another small salad rather than potentially ingest glass & we were advised that no it wasn't possible & that we had been the ones to break the glass! Gee thanks for the concern!
Then having ordered 2 entree servings of Calamari as well as 2 main course servings of Calamari we were surprised to find 4 serves gradually arrived all of the same size that we assumed were just entrees, as they weren't that large. No, they had mistakenly served 4 main serves but wouldn't charge us the extra. $35 per entree & $42.50 for a main?? - these prices weren't apparent from the menu as they weren't listed - only MP.
To top it all off for our temerity in asking & being surprised at the answers to the above we were treated very poorly by our original waitress who practically threw the bill onto our table at the end. On complaining to the manager at her rudeness through much of our dinner he of course wouldn't hear of it.
We won't be back but wish others a better experience than we receivedresponse / report this review -

Cant not book online. Have to call the restaurant for booking. We are hoping to go in around 7pm but apparently that timeframe is unavailable. So we booked for 6:30pm. While we are dining, the restaurant doesn’t to be busy at all during 7-8pm there are still plenty of empty table. Really not sure why we cant come in at 7pm. Service is ok. Food are yum but not as what we expected. As we had been to so many wood fire pizza restaurants and they are much better dough and taste. However, considering the surrounding options. This would only be the good pizza around this area. Pasta was delicious, great Italian wins and cocktails.

I recently visited an Italian pizza place with my friends and family after a day on the beach and it was an unforgettable experience. The pizza was absolutely delicious, with a perfect crust and fresh ingredients. The red wine was also a standout, complementing the pizza perfectly. We also had some pasta dishes - carbonara- that were cooked to perfection. The service was friendly and attentive. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience and I highly recommend this Italian pizza place to anyone looking for a delicious meal and a great atmosphere after a great sunny day. Before driving back to the cbd it is a good stop

Very happy, service was great. Asked for a recommendation with wine and they let me try as they had a bottle open which was very kind and they didn't push me to the most expensive bottle. Very knowledgeable on the Italian wines and local olive oil.
Food was delish. Calamari to start was cooked perfectly and dressed with a fresh yummy side salad. For main we had a spaghetti carbonara which was tasty and not too creamy and spaghetti marinara, the seafood tasted fresh and full of flavour. Meals were generous.
To finish we had lemon gelato served in a lemon and it was a nice refreshing was to finish the meal. We will be backresponse / report this review -

I love this place. By far my favourite place on this side of the peninsula, and probably my favourite Italian restaurant overall. Fresh ingredients, delicious pizzas, awesome wine selection and the Calamari is too good!

We ordered take away expecting something spectacular only to be disappointed when we opened the box!! minimal toppings, lacking thought and flavor, the Nutella desert pizza was probably the biggest let down.. heavily over priced for what you expect paying this price..

Finally Italian Pizza made just like in Italy. Nice thin crust baked in a woodfire pizza oven with fresh ingredients and simple combinations (no show off mixes). The fitout and amazing parphanalia give you a taste of what Italian's can be proud of. Really friendly service that has literally been imported from Italy, lovely charming staff. They have won best Italian restaurant awards year after year and you will taste/see why. Well done team, don't change a thing!
