The meat lasagne was delicious and traditional (as it says on the menu). Great ambience and friendly staff. The lightings around the dinner table enhanced the experience.
One of the best Italian restaurant I’ve ever been to . The staff were exceptional and I will definetly be coming here again. The service people were one of the most warming, attentive and caring people.
Best pizza and pasta! Lovely service too, gnocchi was best I have ever had. Very helpful too! Will definately be back here in the future. Love!!
Delicious pasta and pizza, lovely staff, BYO, they let you customise your meals if you like (so good for vegos!). I would definitely recommend this place!
Wonderful, efficient, timely service for my group of 25 last night! Great idea to offer set menus, we were SO well fed, bread, pizzas (loved the mushroom one) and pasta, all fantastic quality. Lovely nostalgic night for an old favourite that still doesn't disappoint! Can't wait to go back when the renos are finished.
Fantastic Italian. Fast service, great staff and wonderful food. Great value to top it off. Been back here many times and never been disappointed.
Great night , good wholesome Italian food with great flavour and generous portions with friendly and attentive service. You will not leave this place hungry. Highly recommend especially for a group. BYO option is a bonus
Best pasta in the CBD. Always excellent service, very good quality & fresh ingredients. Generous portion sizes and friendly staff combined with on point pricing makes this easily 5 stars. Been ordering here for years.

So tonight I discovered this little place though a Brisbane Meetup group! It was $59 for two courses and wine during the meal and pretty good value! The garlic bread and pasta entree were fantastic. They offered it share style so everyone could pick and choose what they wanted. The main was a chicken breast dish alternating with osso bucco. For a large group of 42 this place did really well! Thanks for a lovely night!

For over 50 years Giardinetto in Brisbane's Fortitude Valley has been serving the sort of hearty Italian food that's now regarded as retro classics. I'm talking Nona-style food such as hearty spaghetti marinara, traditional meat lasagne and garlic prawns. If you remember when you could buy a large margarita pizza for $1.60 and a fillet mignon was $2.60, you probably ate there in the 1970s when the Valley started to gain its reputation as Brisbane's night life centre.
Every single meal at the table was cooked to perfection. Full flavoured, generous servings with quality ingredients. I had the Marinara which was filled with prawns, calamari, fish and mussels that where tender and high quality. Starters and desserts where all amazing too. Service was friendly and the lady had really good recommendations.
The setting is very authentic and cosy with Italian decor and moody lighting.
The only thing that could have improved was the coffee.
Overall a great place to eat before a night out. Would definitely go back!
I ordered Spaghetti Marinara and it was delish!!! The seafood in it was so fresh and the flavour was authentic Italian. We also ordered a pizza and I thought it was nice but nothing to rave about. For desert, do yourself a favour and order the CASSATA della CASA soooo delicious!!! We also ordered the Tiramisu. All home made and soo good! Restaurant is BYO as well
The food was gunienly an Italian authentic plate. The service was great and the whole environment is friendly and would take you into beautifully classic Italian style. Absolutely recommended and will back again.
Best Pastas and Risottos in Brisbane I would say, You feel so welcomed with a very cozy and nice atmosphere which keeps you away from the hustle and bustle of Fortitude valley. Staff are very nice and welcoming and this place is our go to place for Pasta/Risotto.
Grazie Mille!
Absolutely delicous. The veal scalopini is to die for. I reckon i could eat 3 of the potato and rosemary pizza breads. The service and staff are just beautiful. Good old fashion service.
Went here on Wednesday night - OMG - food was delicious. We all left the table with no room spare. Couldn't fault anything. All 5 of us had something different- all perfect. Desserts just topped it off, especially the Tiramisu. 5 stars, we will be back!! Service was really accommodating and amazing
This place is a regular for us- incredible food, warm and efficient service and the best tiramisu! Traditional Italian dishes made full of flavour, fresh produce and generous serves.
