The BEST Italian restaurant and always be our favourite. They serve the best Tbone steaks and Pizza around this area. Awesome customer service, affordable price, big portion of food so tasty that never disappointed you. We keep coming back to this place in the past year, they deserve every star I can give. I highly suggest anyone who's looking for some real Italian food come and visit this fabulous place in Graceville.
The food was enjoyable and yummy but not spectacular. However, this was perfectly adequate. Serving portions seem to vary; the fettucine meal was a much larger serving than the gnocchi meal. Our table of two spent just under $100 for a dinner meal with one starter, two meals and two drinks (one alcoholic).
The service was quick, friendly and understanding. My partner and I were impressed.
The space inside was small but well laid out and the decor was lovely. In particular, there are some fascinating pictures on the main wall.
Overall, this was a pleasurable and tasty dining experience. I would return to this restaurant.
We have really enjoyed all 3 of our visits here in the last couple of months. Service has been excellent & when dining in they’ll recommend changes to the pasta dishes to accomodate your preferences. BYOW keeps the cost down for eating out. Will be going back soon, no doubt.
Ordered take away from here. First time I called it went straight to voicemail; however I called back and it was a 20 minute wait which is reasonable. The service was friendly and the pasta and risotto were lovely. They have a gelato bar out the front; might try dining in next time. Would return here.
Best pizza!! I cannot put into words how good the pizza is - we have ordered the 'al salame toscano bianca' pizza numerous times now and it always lives up to our very high expectations - we would like to try more items on offer but the pizza is so good, we haven't had a chance. Highly recommended!!!
This is the second time we have been to Artimino and once again it was a fantastic experience.
Gabe is a knowledgable and entertaining host. The food is fantastic - if you get a chance ask for morton bay bugs with chili in a white wine and cream sauce. wow.
The best Italian food I've had in a really long time.
Really lovely night out, the owner is so friendly and accommodating. I had the Scallopini with Porcini and the veal just melted in my mouth. I tried some of my partners Bianco Salami Pizza and that was also very tasty with a lovely homemade pizza base. I recommend the Salted Caramel Gelato for dessert, Bellissimo.
Great pizza and service. Ordered pizza and calamari. Great price, generous size and fantastic staff.
I am a regular!. I come here a fair bit - mainly for take away Pizza.
I thought I should finally review.
I cannot recommend this place enough. It is simple but the people are great. It has a nice Northern Italian feel.
And the food is great.
The owner goes out of his way to make you feel welcome. It gets busy but the food is worth it.
Pizza bases are as good as it gets too.
Tiramisu. Good homemade tiramisu is delicious and authentic. good portion size too.
The Food was amazing, first time goers a d well definitely be back, highly recommended the Arancini Balls and Prawn and Zucchini Risotto 💖
Tony, the owner, is a friendly, polite and congenial guy, and he made us feel welcome the moment we arrived at his restaurant.
We started the evening with a schooner of refreshing Gt Northern Super Crisp ($8) and a glass of sparkling white wine, at a modest 5 pesos. For entree, we had the arancini balls. They were nice and fluffy with a cheesy filling and a crispy batter. There were four generous balls to the serve. For mains we choose the grilled fish (barramundi) with mash and vegetables, and the spag with meatballs. According to Tony, the meatballs were part beef and part pork, although I’d say pork was the dominant ingredient, so if you’re not a pork lover, avoid this one.
Ambience is casual, laid back and relaxed. The interior is dated but it’s colourfully decked out with an interesting bottle display behind the counter and next to that a huge poster of a chubby, cheerful fellow called “Rocky” in a Roman toga, swilling a glass of red wine. Furniture is fairly utilitarian with wooden chairs and tables, but it all works well to create a homely and convivial atmosphere. The perfect place to enjoy an evening out with friends or family. Service from Tony was efficient and fast. Drinks, entree and main meals came out quickly and in the correct order. Tony is clearly a professional and experienced restaurateur and the place hums like a well oiled machine.
With our 30% discount for booking via “The Fork”, we paid a reasonable $60 for two drinks, a starter and two mains. With our little Aussie peso spiralling ever downwards towards Lebanese or Venezuelan levels of hyperinflation, that’s good value for money.
There’s a single toilet at the back. It’s clean and well provisioned with soap and hand towels, but the door is in need of a lick of paint. I shouldn’t complain though, because this is the only joint on this rather drab and rundown little shopping and eating strip to actually have a toilet.
There’s easy street parking just outside the restaurant or anywhere in the near vicinity, where there don’t seem to be any restrictions. Across the road is the well stocked IGA supermarket and the handy Liquorland liquor store.
We had a pleasant evening, and it’s worth a visit with the 30% discount deal with “The Fork”. The ambience is relaxed and Tony, the owner, will make you feel welcome. Service is attentive and efficient. There is a single toilet and parking is a breeze.
What can I say? First of all, it's just so nice for a real authentic Italian restaurant to have so many vegan options!! So thanku! There's outdoor tables so you can bring your dogs too!
I ate the eggplant parmigiana and oh boy it was so delightful! And such excellent service to top it off. What an attentive and friendly man who served us, making the experience an all round success. We will definitely be back :)
In all my years of visits to Hawken Village I don’t think I’ve stepped foot in La Porchetta once. Finally the day came when I booked via The Fork for a 30% off promotion.
We ordered:
* pollo e fungi risotto, $23.90 - chicken and mushrooms cooked in a delicate stock
* penne beef ragu, $23.90 (main size) - beef simmered in a homemade tomato sauce
* kids meal set, $13.90 - choice of main (chicken schnitzel), side (chips), and drink (apple juice), plus one scoop of ice cream
The food took about 20 minutes to come out which I thought wasn’t too bad given we were a group of 8. The portions are quite generous and seeing some of the other kids meals with the spaghetti bolognese, I reckon it would have been plenty for an average adult! No surprise our friends ended up taking away a chunk of their kids’ leftovers.
Service was warm and friendly. Taste wise I think the food was decent, though wasn't enough to upset the standings on the leaderboard of my existing favourites in this dining precinct.
Very nice little cozy restaurant, good ambiance and clean look.
Went there for dessert and coffees ordered Nutella pizza which was a different thing to try and liked it
Coffee was good too.
Staff was super friendly and received great service from the staff.
Upon inquiring I was told that the meat was halal so I will definitely be returning for some food.
Saw a few banners for lunch specials that was amazing and affordable too.
Would recommend this place
