Great service, amazing staff, great desserts. It's one of those places you keep going back to for the atmosphere, decor and staff.
Food is good, tasty and sumptuous --- all, except tomato-based dishes.
I haven't tried pizza yet.
I've been there a few times now and learned not to order anything tomato-based. I tried dishes from my friends and mine [of course] and the verdict is solid. It tastes as it's just been heated up straight out of the can. It misses Nona's love. Dolmio out of the jar tastes better.
Tomato sauce ingredients (if the owners read this review):
Crushed tomatoes (out of the can), finely chopped celery, carrots, onions, garlic and basil, salt and pepper to taste, 1 cup of red wine, a touch of sugar (to get rid of the acidity). Saute finely chopped celery, carrots, onions, garlic and basil over medium heat with some olive oil. Add tomato paste, stir briefly making sure it doesn't burn. Add crushed tomatoes. Bring to boil and add red wine; then lower the temperature and simmer for 2 hours. Remove from the heat and stir in some sugar (a flat tablespoon per 1kg of tomatoes) and add fresh chopped parsley. --- tomato sauce is a labour of love.
friendly service and delicious food, and always busy
Very authentic restaurant, it felt like I was back in Italy. The food was amazing, the whole experience had the vibe & look of a family restaurant in Florence. Service was great & meals were out very quickly. Perfect place for a date, the candle lit dinner was quite romantic.
I feel like I am in Italy when I am here. I love this place so much it is so traditional and the staff here are lovely. Candle lit dinners are a huge yes from me, the ambience here is top notch. After reading over the extensive menu, I had to get the seafood pasta. It was DELICIOUS there was so much seafood and it was all great quality. The pasta sauce was so yum and full of flavour. Out of all the Paddington Italian places this one is my fav.
Absolutely love this place! The staff are so friendly and accommodating, the ambience is very pleasant and homely, and the food is incredibly delicious! There are not that many vegetarian options on the menu, but the staff know the menu very well and are helpful with their suggestions on how to make the other dishes vegetarian. It is much appreciated! The drinks are made wonderfully, and the desserts are very well done as well! If I have only one improvement, it may be that the tables are a bit too small (though I understand the effort to make the setting more romantic). Overall I highly recommend! Best Italian food in Brisbane :)
Never disappointed here, love the food quality and options, the atmosphere and service is superb. We go to both locations and love them both!
Service is great. Not much vegetarian options but the risotto is amazing. Cocktail drinks are nice too and all at a very reasonable price. We always come here for our group dates with friends.
Awesome things happen when your usual fancy pizza place is booked out. After the initial disappointment that we couldn't go to our favourite for my partner's birthday dinner last week, I went hunting on Zomato for another excellent Italian, even branching out from our normal areas to Paddington. We luckily slotted into an early booking at Marinara Trattoria at 34 Latrobe Terrace.
Typical Italian trattoria loud and noisy service very attentive even our grandchild of 3 was catered to the gnocchi the marinara all cooked to perfection The restaurant brings back memories s of Italy well worth a visit remember to book due to popularity
AMBIENCE = 3.5
FOOD = 4.5
SERVICE = 4.0
A great Italian place with great home tasting food and the serves are great. A great must have in Brisbane.
This place was amazing! The decor is just beautiful, I would love to see it at night!
The food was delicious, fresh & very tasty. Staff were very attentive and the service impeccable.
They made special effort for my son on his birthday which was very unexpected and appreciated. I cant wait to return and try some more dishes.
Superb Italian restaurant. Great food and rich in flavour, great service, quaint traditional Italian vibe, reasonably priced and friendly staff. I will return for sure.
Among the cocktails, the Negrini was very strong to my taste and felt less like a cocktail. I will not try it again.
Genuinely had such a great experience here! We had 3 courses and enjoyed every single meal. The service was great and the whole environment was lovely. We will recommend this place to friends for sure
Greate experience. I had a delicious seafood risotto and a margherita pizza. Both were great taste and texture. It wasn't too salty and sweet. Just fit to my taste. I enjoyed the unique atmosphere there. I took photos multiple times. Staff were really friendly and impressed with giant pepper bottle haha..I had great time with my friend. I will definitely go back there one day.
Great dining experience with friendly staff. Love their dessert choices. The Marinara pasta is a bit too salty.
This is my favourite Italian restaurant in Brisbane and I’ve tried many. The oysters mornay are fabulous and the creamy fettuccine al pollo is incredible. The food and service is always great and consistent. I’ve never had a disappointing time here. I also came here on Valentine’s Day and they took a free Polaroid of us!
Genuinely the best pasta I’ve ever had. Fantastic food, and the venue is utterly delightful - a cosy, rustic little restaurant perfect for an intimate evening with friends or a romantic date. The staff were all very friendly and colourful characters, and dessert was excellent as well!
Delicious seafood pasta.. the calzone it's big but mostly flour. Wine was good. The dessert with ice cream, coffee and frangelico was super nice.
