My partner took me here for my birthday lunch last April and i was absolutely blown away. (Sorry it's taken a while to leave this review)
We loved everything from the wine, the mixed board, and the pasta dishes. We both work as chefs and appreciate passionately made food. We will definitely be back for more— with family and friends ♥️

We had made an online booking for dining in on a Thursday night. Upon arrival, we were promptly acknowledged and directed to our table.
The starter and pasta menus were truly unique for an Italian restaurant in Brisbane. The staff were very happy to chat about the dishes, the sourcing of the ingredients and the thought process behind it all. The customer service at Ripiena is exceptional.
We started with the buratta and prosciutto. They had just run out of bread, and discussed options with us for an alternative prior to serving it. Both of these were really good, and combination of the two was amazing.
We ordered the Gorgonzola and Cacio Pepe as our mains. I love the taste of Gorgonzola, and I was excited to find it in a pasta dish. Both dishes showcased a unique combination of different aromas, flavours and textures.
We were both full after our meals, and decided to skip on dessert. I really want to try the tiramisu, so hoping to return again sometime soon. I would definitely recommend making a reservation prior to your visit.
A bit of a cold atmosphere but genuinely the best pasta I have ever had in Brisbane. Simple meals but done to perfection, clearly they care incredibly about the fundamentals. The wine list was also fantastic with very knowledgeable staff. Service was quick and efficient and not too pushy. And to top it all off the price was much lower than expected.
