We celebrated our anniversary here recently and had a wonderful evening. We were given a lovely table, the service was impecable and the food was beautifully prepared and presented. Our waitress for the evening made some great suggestions for food and wine. Desert was presented on a plate with an anniversary message. We will certainly be making a return visit.

Beautiful food, the best I've ever tasted. And the wine knowledge of staff was outstanding, lovely to here about the region your wine has come from whilst it's poured, and to be able to trust the staff enough to pick a wine for you that compliments your dessert!

It was our wedding anniversary dinner and first time at the restaurant, it was beautifully decorated the atmosphere from the moment we walked in was wonderful, the staff was very friendly and helpful, the food was excellent from the starter to our main and finishing off with dessert. We are not a big wine drinker but they have a lot to select from but from what she gave my wife to taste she loved it. We highly recommend the place to everyone to dine in 1889 Enoteca. 😁👍

Amazing food! We had the mushroom entree (amazing), the stuffed zucchini flowers (amazing), the gnocchi (amazing), the carbonara (amaaaaazing) and the panna cotta (a delightful way to end the meal). Did I say amazing enough? Great staff - very knowledgeable and friendly. Fantastic experience! We'll be back!

Thank you to all the wonderful staff who were involved in making my husbands 40th last night a truly memorable evening. Julia was so warm and was very attentive to details co-ordinating things and great with dietary requirements too. The food and wine were simply amazing. The Cellar is the perfect location for an intimate function and we can safely say our guests not only found the venue impressive but all had a fantastic time! Congratulations to this beautiful Brisbane restaurant.

We have been coming to Enoteca for years but we had a function in the Cellar on Sunday. The food was amazing as usual but the service and planning that went in to the event was outstanding. Everything went so smoothly from the videos being linked up to the projector to the staff not giving the surprise away to the birthday guest. I would highly recommend the cellar to anyone for a function or family gathering. Thank you Luca and the team for pulling off such a great event!

My partner and I had lunch at 1889 Enoteca and could not recommend it enough! From the outstanding service to delicious meals, everything was perfect. We had the Pane (daily baked bread and extra virgin olive oil) as an entree to share and for main meals we shared the Pappardelle (braised pork and beef, tomato sugo and parmigiana reggiano) and the truffle linguini. All meals were beyond any other pastas we have had. For desert we shared a pannacotta (burnt caramel) and a semifreddo and again all of it was delicious. To top it all off we ended with a latte. Without a doubt I would recommend having lunch or dinner at 1889 Enoteca.

Rare to get the family atmosphere with a sophisticated menu. That really is simple and tasty.

Eating home cooked pasta
Eating delicate Mortenbay bugs.
Eating delicious T bone.

I have had them all. Amazing!!!

The difference in having beautiful wines matched to the food. Is an added bonus. Especially when they are Italian favourites you would rarely get to try.

Ambience is warm without being too stifling, and similarly the staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Everyone enjoyed their meals, and the gnocchi eaters were particularly impressed. My mushroom risotto was hearty and very tasty, although the texture and consistency wasn't perfect. We ordered a few desserts to share- they were indulgent without being too sweet. The chocolate tortino was very good. I'm maybe too hard on fine dining establishments, but to get the 5th star I want to be wowed, and it wasn't quite there for me. 4.5 stars.

Beautiful restaurant 🙂 Went here tonight for my birthday and had an absolutely lovely dinner. The staff were friendly and helpful, and so willing to accommodate a few changes to enable us to have a vegetarian set menu. The food was excellent and paired with wine for each course. Will definitely visit again, and would recommend 🙂

I surprised my partner for his birthday with a beautiful dinner at 1889 Enoteca. He was so excited I’d picked an Italian restaurant. We ordered classic mains (gnocchi & carbonara). The gnocchi was like no other. The flavours were so amazing and the gnocchi parcels were so light and fluffy. We were trying to show appropriate etiquette being in such a nice restaurant but couldn’t resist mopping up the leftover sauce off the plate. Absolutely recommend.

This is a lovely Italian restaurant. The truffle gnocchi is a specialty and was delicious. The fish was ok. The zucchini flowers and mushrooms were so good. For dessert we enjoyed the tiramisu but not the bombolini.

My go-to place for authentic and delicious Italian food paired with amazing light Italian wine. They always service with a smile and the ambience is good too. I ALWAYS order the veal for starters and the gnocchi, carbonara & pepe are my regular orders. Can’t find anywhere else that does better pasta than this place in Brisbane. 😋

Enjoyed a busy Thursday night. This is a schmick operation. Great ambience and excellent staff.
Affettati Misti was a wonderful way to start and we followed up with 4 different pastas...Gnocchi, paparadelle, linguine and carbonara. The gnocchi is deservedly famous. So light but beware the sauce is so rich. One guest religiously orders the sandcrab linguine. I can see why. All pasta is authentic and well made. Tiramisu to share and finish. Definitely a venue to delight  purists. Will absolutely return and try the Secondi next time.

This was my choice for a birthday dinner celebration & I'm glad I tried it.
Good service and lovely drinks.
The stand out meals were the Cacio e Pepper & entree field mushrooms; and the Gnocchi - these were all *divine*. The other meals were also nice, but my friend was a bit disappointed with her ragu after trying the gnocchi.
Also has a beautiful interior.
I plan to return at some stage.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do except in Brisbane!  On a recent trip down-under, instead of the usual steak and seafood joints that are often recommended, I was pointed in the direction of 1889 Enoteca, a Roman restaurant around the corner from Brisbane’s colosseum, the Gabba.

One of my fave Italian restaurants in Brisbane. They've managed to take the humble spud and turn it to gnocchi perfection. Just like my nonna's gnocchi...light and fluffy and cooked beautifully. The pork & fennel sausage, Parmesan cream and black truffle tepanade, ingredients that might seem heavy worked so well in the dish. Expect bold flavours. The setting is divine, very intimate and service was attentive. Their bread and olives were delicious too.

After returning from Italy earlier this year we've been seeking out an Italian restaurant in Brisbane that lives up to my now hyper-inflated expectations about Italian food!

Well, Sunday lunch at Enoteca definitely scratched the itch.

I'm not always a fan of gnocchi but when it is prepared like this I could eat it daily - amazing.
Also, the Cacio e Pepe is a go-to dish here for good reason.

Favourites of the couple of Secondi we tried was the Saltimbocca. The Pesce and Tagliata were also delicious.

Staff were friendly and very helpful.

I will be back. 
Buon appetito!

Find 1889 along a great little street in Woollongabba.. as you arrive you will be greeted by friendly staff. The food is delicious, the gnocchi their signature and couldn't recommend more highly.

Decided to visit 1889 Enoteca the other night after reading a number of positive reviews. It did not disappoint with all three courses being excellent. As many people mentioned, the gnocchi is the standout dish and is a must for anyone planning a visit. The service was efficient and the staff were very accommodating of my nut allergy. Despite going on a Tuesday night, the restaurant was still quite busy and I would recommend booking a table for whatever day you plan to visit. Overall, it was a lovely experience and we are already eager to try more dishes from the menu!

1889 Enoteca is the best place for enjoying Italian wine 💕all the wines are from Italy.

We had two pastas which were good and the staff recommended a wine to us, which tasted really good.

I've been to 1889 Enoteca dozens of times over the past five years, including twice in the past fortnight.

The Pappardelle Al Ragu is the standard by which I judge all pasta in Australia - perfection (5 out of 5).

The Cacio e Pepe is so simple, yet so delicious. I generally start with this as my entree and then move onto the Pappardelle Al Ragu as my main. My only complaint is that I always want more!

I dined with a distinguished guest last night, one who grew up on the border of Italy and is a connoisseur of Italian cuisine, and he assures me that the Vitello Tonnato is the best he has ever had. He has enjoyed this dish at 1889 Enoteca for years and orders it each and every time we dine together.

The Spaghetti Carbonara is fairly new to the menu and is a rich and delicious addition. Lady Meatball
and my distinguished guest both rate it highly.

The Pork & Fennell Sausage Gnocchi remains Grandpa Meatball's favourite.

I can't recommend 1889 Enoteca highly enough.

Highly recommend!
I love Italian food and make it my mission to search out and try every top rated Italian restaurant wherever I am and can honestly say that 1889 Enotecca is the best Italian in Brisbane (and possibly Australia...sorry, Melbourne). Amazing food and an extensive wine list, this has become my favorite restaurant in Brisbane.

I've been dozens of times over the past few years, including hosting team lunches, corporate dinners and a Christmas party for 30+ downstairs.

The Pappardelle Al Ragu is my favorite and definitely worth writing home about! The spaghette cacio e pepe is so simple, yet so perfect.  The gnocchi and risotto are both fantastic as well.

While traveling recently to NY, 1889 was the talk of the town once I mentioned I lived in Brisbane. Not being an Italian food fan it hadn't really been on my radar but I got the feedback that it was a must try. The set up is quite beautiful, the service was attentive and happy to please and the food was good. Would I be back? Probably not due to Italian being one of my least favorite cuisines, would I recommend it to others? Absolutely

If you are into Italian food then this place is a must. I loved every bit of our experience at Enoteca. From the confirmation phone call the morning before to the amazing gnocci and beautiful wines, this place will knock your socks off.

We had a table for 5ppl and we were sat on a round table in the front gallery with plenty of room and a nice big table so it didnt become cluttered. Our host was an italian girl with a very happy attitude and made us all feel as though nothing was an issue.

Our food and drinks were promptly delivered with ample time in between courses to rest and enjoy the meal. We ordered breads with olive oil and balsamic vinegar along with the veal and tuna mayo, gnocci entrée and rigatoni. The mains followed with 2 rib on the bones that melted in your mouth, a gnocci main (mine) that was perfectly seasoned, a fruity salad and a parpadelle ragu. I couldnt fault any of it.

In the end with drinks, starters, mains and desserts the bill for the 5 of us was $465 which i thought was very reasonable considering the quality of the establishment and its food.

Simple things go a long way for me and this place just gets it. Attentive but not annoying staff, constantly topping up your water, room to move not shoved in like other places, knowledge of food and wine from wait staff, easy parking and simple but amazing food. If i could give a 6 I would. Looking.forward to my next experience at Enoteca.

I'm so glad they turned this Woollongabba strip into a trendy precinct for dining and nightowl adventures. This was our first experience at Enoteca and it was wonderful. Such a great vibe with European aesthetics and attentive expert staff. We enjoyed most of our menu selections and indulged in an assortment of desserts. The salted caramel pannacotta was a real standout and the chocolate salami was also lovely albeit quite rich. The softshell crab entree was yummy but quite salty whereas the pastas we had for our mains were really under-seasoned with the veal ragu registering as pretty bland, unfortunately. With no optional seasoning at the tables, this was hard to adjust but we soldiered on and enjoyed ourselves anyway. Even amazing chefs have an off-night sometimes. There's plenty to like about this place and I'll be sure to return for another dose of modern Italiano cuisine. Great atmosphere, awesome wine list and excellent service. Might try a few other menu items next time and I'm sure they'll be delicious.

A flying trip to Brisbane and I'm sitting at 1889 Enoteca again. Why? Because it is one of Brisbane's best wine bars and Italian restaurants.  The staff are terrific and enthusiastic about their establishment, you can hear it in their voice when they are explaining the wine list and menu.  The food it always great , reasonably priced and generous in portion. If you ever get to go downstairs, take a sneaky peek at their private dining area ... wow.  Great service, great atmosphere - why are you not there now?

We had our wedding dinner at Enoteca and it was perfect - for a beautiful, intimate setting with the best food you couldn't do better. The La Famiglia Taviola was a great option for us (big share plates, four courses). We dined back there recently and the atmosphere is perfect. And that gnocchi has been their best seller for however many years for a reason - literally the tastiest thing I think I've ever eaten. Staff are helpful and friendly, wine is beautiful - love everything about Enoteca :)

We had yet another fabulous night out prior to Christmas at Enotecca. This is and has been for a long time, my favorite restaurant in Brisbane! The food is amazing, try the zucchini flowers and gamberi fettuccini, incredible, so good I can't move on and try other dishes. The service is outstanding, whoever hires knows what they are doing, friendly, knowledgeable and charming staff. The wine list is a little awe inspiring, until the delightful staff guide you through it and help you select the right wine. The atmosphere of the restaurant hums, not too noisy, not too quiet. I hope this place will be around for many years to come as I can't imagine going anywhere else with a group of friends for special occasions or any occasion really.

1889 Enoteca has been long on my list of places to go. The only reason why I have not yet been was because there were no special events for me to justify going.

What a lovely, sophisticated atmosphere 1889 Enoteca has! The staff were so attentive & appeared to be very genuine in their need for us to be happy. Our dessert took quite some time to come out, we didn't really mind but when staff realised, they could not apologize enough. They offered dessert as complimentary along with beautiful dessert wine! We thought that was excellent service. It is a small menu but what we did have was delicious. All in all a fabulous dining experience.

We celebrated our wedding anniversary at Enoteca and had an excellent time. I like the fact that you get a special/fine dining-like experience that's still very friendly and welcoming and not stuffy. The wait staff were all lovely - knowledgable and helpful (making recommendations about wine and the meals). We ordered the fried artichoke and the steak to share which were amazing (and a perfect homage to a meal we had in Rome on our honeymoon). The steak had a delicious salty crust and was melt in your mouth - still thinking about it now. The choc tart for dessert was very nice Altho not overly memorable. The service was leisurely (was at capacity) but seemed paced about right (plenty of people checking we were ok in between). We weren't waiting around for an annoyingly long time to order or settle the bill which are my pet peeves. It's not cheap but the overall bill wasn't outrageous and we thought appropriate for the quality of the experience and food. Looking forward to going back again!

My partner ordered the osso bucco - he loved every bit of the dish!

Only downside was the cooking of my pasta. It was just under - there was a thin strip of white, uncooked flour in the centre of my pasta. And to be honest, I expected them to be using fresh pasta given the prices I had to pay.

After attending several work functions in the downstairs section, I was not enthused to return when my partner was recommended by a colleague as a great restaurant to celebrate his birthday. I'm so happy we gave it another try! I have to say my truffle gnocchi dish was one of the best pastas I have ever eaten. I wouldn't usually chose pasta, but when in Italy it must be done. I recommend this as a great special occasion night spot, as the drink/dinner menu is quite expensive. I think with the high prices you are also paying for the outstanding service. I will consider running another work function here now in the future, but with the requirement of the pasta dishes as the mains (rather then the common/less-exciting choices).

Couldn't fault a thing. Went here as a party of four for a casual celebration - what a fantastic evening. The staff were incredibly attentive and helpful, recommending great wine when our pick was unavailable, pointing us in the way of choice dishes on the menu, always smiling. The food was super tasty, with intelligent flavour selections the order of the day (the artichoke and mascarpone with citrus was a standout). The atmosphere, meanwhile, was fine-casual, with great conversation had beneath the wine racks all night.

I have had many wonderful experiences at 1889 Enoteca and felt it was about time to publicly post that and share some photos from those visits. Before anyone is put off by the T-bone though, I thoroughly enjoy blue steak, but know it may not be to everyones liking. They can cook it however you like.

An outstanding meal here recently, service was excellent too. Allow yourself to be guided as to what to eat and also regards portion size. You don't want to miss out. Wine selection superb too.

Our favourite Italian restaurant in the whole of Brisbane. We have been 4 times and it’s only June. The service is always great, there’s a great selection of wines and the food is authentic and high quality.

We had a superb evening at Enoteca, where we felt like we could have been in Italy. The service, food, wine and atmosphere was flawless. The staff were wonderful - very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about the wines and food on the menu. We will definitely go again!

Wonderful dining experience! Excellent and authentic food, fantastic and friendly service and exceptional wines. The team were so professional and yet relaxed and warm. They could not have done more to make our experience better - which included giving us a range of taste tests to ensure we ordered the bottle of wine perfect for us. Our best dining experience in Brisbane! Thank you Silvia, Nicola and the team.
