Myself and my partner have been coming to Marinara for the past year and we have never been so impressed by the food, service and staff on each occasion. We have celebrated multiple family birthdays and each time we have had such a pleasure and been treated by such kind and welcoming staff.
Over the period of Covid-19 we decided to get take away from Marinara missing our favourite traditional Italian food. We were still greeted by such welcoming and friendly staff and were offered complimentary garlic bread and dessert.
We have gone to multiple Italian restaurants and tried Italian food all through Italy and Marinara is by far the most delicious, traditional and home style Italian food we have ever eaten. By far it is the staff that make our experience so memorable we continue to go back. We highly recommend visiting them and supporting them over this time! We also suggest the lasagna by far the best we have ever tried!
We were recommended this place by our colleague and we went last night. The interior design of the restaurant let us feel comfortable and welcome and the familiar old songs were playing in the background softly. Food was excellent and the desserts were so yummy. The staff were friendly and accommodating, introduced us different wine/liquor from Italy. We really enjoyed dining there. We will definitely go back :-)
I am from Melbourne where we are spoilt for good Italian restaurants. I went with a friend who is gluten intolerant, she had the Risotto Marinara GF of course and i had the Fetucini Marinara, same but different lol and shared a bottle of Caranto Pinot Noir. The staff were excellent, friendly and attentive. The food was served quickly, well presented and full of flavour. Then desert and espresso. Very happy. The wine was good too.
Such an amazing experience, fantastic atmosphere and personal service. I am ordering take away from them very often and a big fan of their Don Carlos pasta and delicious pizzas. Thank You Marinara Team !
One of the best, if not the best experience of real Italian feeling. The Don Carlos is just delightful and perfectly spiced! The dessert guy was one in a life time experience. Overall, AMAZING. Thanks guys!!
If you are looking for a typical and real Italian environment, which doesn’t deliver just Italian food but literally let you feel like on the Mediterranean Sea’s costs, Marinara Clayfield will satisfy you and your taste buds! ❤️

Marinara clayfield its great restuarant with great food and great service .we really like the atmosphere and service plus the right place for celebrate birthdays .
I've been here multiple times and for me this is the best italian restaurant in Brisbane. I highly recommend the Chilli prawn pasta. Service is attentive, price is reasonable, love it.
Really enjoyed our recent night out at this cafe. The owners have put a lot of love into the restaurant and the menu. The staff were attentive. Everything including the sauces are made to order, being allergic to gluten and dairy generally limits my choices however they accommodated my needs. We ordered 3 seafood dishes that were all amazing. Plenty of seafood, not over cooked, flavourful and perfect serving sizes. They lose a star for dessert as the sticky date cake ordered for my partner wasn’t heated and lacked the much awaited caramel sauce. Will we go back? Absolutely!! The cafe/restaurant decor is unique and teleports you into little Italy, prices are reasonable given the food and time you spend. Lovely venue for small groups.
On the spur of the moment decision. First time here, warm, cozy friendly atmosphere. More than just pizza place. Excellent, attentive service. Very pleasant experience
Food was well cooked,tasty and enjoyed by all our family. Waiters kept an eye on our table but also let us enjoy our evening without too many interuptions. Very enjoyable evening and not overpriced and ambience was very nice.
Very comfortable suburban Italian restaurant
With traditional style food
Cosy atmosphere and plenty of pleasant staff members ready to enhance your experience
This beautiful Italian restaurant is my favourite place to go to with my partner for dinner. The atmosphere is great, food fantastic, service splendid and the drinks are delicious. I usually spend more than the normal person would when I go here because I don’t go often. When I do, I make the most of it because it’s definitely worth it. If I’m going to spend money and time on something it has to be worth it and this restaurant deserves that much.
I have been to this restaurant on two occasions now and it is simply fantastic. From the warm and friendly service staff who genuinely love where they work (I noticed someone who worked there come in early for their shift and was greeted with hugs & laughter like they were family) to the amazing food. I can't wait to have another night of beautiful food in a place that I automatically felt like I was part of the extended family. This is what Italian dining is all about.
We had the best food and dining experience at Marinara Restaurant a few months ago. The staff were so kind, generous and patient with my children. Marinara reminded me of the good old fashioned authentic Italian restaurants my parents would take me to as a little child, which I enjoyed so much. We will definitely be returning again to this restaurant.
