Booked for dinner with a small group. I had the tortellini boscaiola which was delicious. For desert we shared the profiteroles which was also delicious. Staff were friendly and nice. I would recommend this place, the only thing is they are a bit expensive in my opinion.

Lovely first meal in Coogee yesterday. The service was extremely polite and friendly. The entrees of bruschetta and calamari were nice but not amazing. The bruschetta was sweet & the calamari was a bit rubbery. I did love the margherita pizza I ordered for main. It was simple but done really nicely. The tomato paste was slight sweet, the cheese was creamy and salty & the pizza base was thin and cooked through. I didn’t order any dessert.
Very pleasant little Italian restaurant. Ideal for a quiet dinner. Penne Meatballs are pretty damn good. Pizza with Hot Salami was fantastic but unlike most the Hot Salami truly is quite hot.

I had a very enjoyable night at La Spaggia, with some extra tasty bites. Started my meal off with Arancinie E Crochette Italian rice balls and potato croquettes. The rice ball had to be my favourite. I guess thats the asian in me. I always find the rice dish a favourite. With a squishy texture it gives it that fun feeling in your mouth. Both balls were seasoned perfectly and the pea taste in the potato ball gave me a full flavour bite that I thoroughly enjoyed.
For my main meal I had to go with the Fettuccine Marinara with homemade ribbon pasta tossed in a thick tomato sauce with fresh local mussels, prawns, calamari and scallops. I have to say that seafood and pasta are a mix that bring two beautiful elements of food together in a glorious way. All the seafood was absolutely cooked to utter perfection with a sweet seafood taste mixing with the aromatic tomato sauce. It all melted in my mouth and gave my palette a wonderful sensation.
I would absolutely recommend this place for some of the best Italian food I’ve had so far.
La Spiaggia was fantastic! My pizza was probably the best and most authentic Italian pizza I’ve had since I was in Italy. Wood fired, thin and crispy base, huge size, delicious toppings. The cheese was so flavoursome. My partner had a pasta, which was also great. Good menu with all the classics and good variety. Service was friendly and efficient. Nice wine menu, and the glasses of wine were very generous! A little pricey, but to be expected for the area, and good value for the serving sizes and quality of food. Cosy and romantic setting, and you couldn’t overhear the other tables around you. Family friendly. Lovely dinner!
Great local restaurant with delicious food and very friendly service. Good for families with a wide range of options and a yum, simple kids menu. I highly recommend the penne meatballs! Also has great takeaway options for a relaxed meal on Coogee Beach.
A friend of mine goes here all the time and recommend it to me. Quite a big restaurant, it was extremely busy and full so I would recommend booking. Tables were nicely set up with wine glasses. We sat in the back section. The waiter was very attentive at the start (though after we got our meals and he checked how they were going, he didn't really come back and we wanted some more drinks).
The menu is quite large and has antipasto, entrees, pastas, woodfired pizzas and secondi (meals). Our group tried the tomato gnocchi - home made - this was extremely good. The pizzas were also excellent and my chicken scallopini was also nice.
Hubby got the special - the osso bucco which he said was ok. Our arancini entree was also quite flavoursome. Food came out quickly and all well cooked. The restaurant is quite expensive I think to comparative places of a similar standard.
Great place and pizzas are perfectly prepared and cooked in wood fired oven. The base is a traditional thin Romano style with fresh toppings. I rate the pizzas close to best in Coogee. The Fettuccini Marina was tasty, with nice variety of fresh fish. I changed it from its tomato base on the menu to al bianco (the real way to have pasta marina)...waiter was only to happy to accommodate. They serve Menabrea Italian premium beer which was icy cold and super smooth. Pizzas cost b/w $20-$30, beers $7-$9 for 330ml. Its a busy place and you need to book. It not for the romantics but you wont be disappointed with the quality of food and beverage selection.
Pizza was a 10/10
Customer service was average, nothing to complain about however.
The restaurant has good atmosphere. Juicy thin pizza. Tasty. Service can be better though. It is not that there are not enough waiters, some training may help them to spot customers who need service.
Fantastic pizzas. We usually order take away pizzas from La Spiaggia and eat them at the beach. Our favourite is the $15 Margherita pizza. Their $20 calzone is great too.
Absolutely wonderful .. had the freshest most delicious diavola. The staff is super nice and friendly
My husband and I got two take away pizzas and they were delicious - thin, easy to digest and with high quality toppings. The service was also fast and lovely. We will definitely be back to dine in as well!
Friendly and caring staff. Great food and relatively quick even if there are lots of people. Visit frequently and always happy. Pizza is great and definitely hits the spot!
After working 14hrs as a Nurse, all I was looking forward to was the food this restaurant makes to perfection every time. Ordered through Uber eats and paid for priority delivery.
The driver gave my food to another customer. I called the driver who said he would go and pick up my food straight away. Never heard from the driver again.
But Morris the owner of La Spiaggia (during a busy Friday night) was nothing but wonderful. Offered to make me a fresh order (even though it was entirely Ubers fault) Apologised and offered to contact Uber too.
If I thought the food was phenomenal, it was surpassed only by the superior customer service Morris and the restaurant provided. I won’t go anywhere else. The food is fresh, packaged beautifully, tastes so damn good.
I could have been told to just contact Uber. Like many of us have been.
But Morris and La Spiaggia care about their food, the quality of service and most of all, their customers. This place is simply amazing. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Food was very good and delicious. The service was fantastic very good place to eat Italian food. 👌
Really nice Italian restaurant. Great service, great food. Price is a little bit high but for the good quality food, it’s acceptable.
We went for birthday dinner, from the starter drinks to the after drink and dessert are all very good quality.
Waiters and waitresses are friendly, food served very fast. Nothing really to complain about.
The only downside probably will be, if you drive here, it’s hard to find parking. Because it’s a really busy beach area and lots residents live around the restaurant.
But overall, I had a really good experience here, definitely recommend to people who want to taste good Italian food.
