We had the sand crab lasagna and the award winning duck la’orange pizza, absolutely divine. Although it was extremely busy, service was quick and professional. The desserts, profiteroles and creme brûlée, were a perfect way to finish our meal.

We recently went for a romantic birthday dinner at Augello’s and had a wonderful night. A special shout out to Michael who gave us the most incredible customer service and was hilarious! (He wasn’t even aware it was my birthday so we weren’t getting any extra special treatment). The food was delicious and the atmosphere was awesome. Can’t wait to come back! �

Was recommended Augellos restaurant by a friend and was very impressed with the amazing service by all staff members. And not to mention the amazing food it was very delicious we couldn't fault it at all. We had the Margarita pizza and the carbonara Pasta. Price for food was very reasonable. If you are thinking about trying this restaurant don't think twice do it but make sure you book as it's very busy.

Lovely breakfast and service on the busy day - mother's day.

Got so many tables filled with customers but the services are still so prompt.

Ordered the special menu - pancake for myself....was good but not surprisingly good.

should have ordered the Italian eggs....which i saw is in a pot style.

Dec 2018: took my brisbane family there expecting a scrumptious meal as all my other visits. It was a terribly busy Saturday night. Our table was slightly delayed due earlier patrons and we were nicely offered garlic and pesto bread on the house while we wait :). However, this time the crab lasagne was rather bland and too creamy compared to normal. The penne and risotto cacciatore we ordered were just too salty - big disappointment since it’s always one of my favorite. We did inform the restaurant which initially was countered with resistant because “the lasagna looks normal and that was always how we make it”. Later a lady come out and address us nicely and more warmly.

Sep 2018: The place has won many awards for the pizzas. And believe you me, they do have out of the world experience for pizzas. Best risotto I had in life here too. A place like no others and a definite stop when visiting sunny Coast

Came to Brisbane and was quite excited to try he worlds best pizza of 2014 and 2010. However originally I wanted the ocean trout pizza which was Australia best pizza of 2016, but it was sold out :(. Fortunately the duck sushizza and the hot smoked salmon pizza did not dissappoint :). I thought the prawn and crab penne was also nice :)

The food was lovely but a tad too small for the prices. The wait staff (young Italian guy) were very friendly and polite but the meals took a long time to be served and the restaurant wasn’t super busy. The pizza was delicious.

This place is known for their award wining pizzas with with unique flavour combinations. We ordered the salmon pizza and the rump steak. Amazing flavours of creamy baked salmon, salty salmon roe, basil and zesty lemon harmonised together and made every bite pure bliss. Rump steak was average and service was friendly.

Had a risotto and a pizza which while fairly good were quite expensive. The risotto at least had seafood in it to justify the $34 price but the non gourmet pizza at $28 is a bit insane when it tasted like any suburban $10 pizza. If you want the gourmet options they were $34!

Interestingly they don't accept AMEX (first ever proper restaurant I've seen that does that) which was very surprising considering the prices they charge.

While we were quite happy with the food and the service, the prices charged are far too high for what you're getting.

The best pizza.

Definitely book a table, surprisingly a lot of people don't. I walked straight past the cluster of walk-ins waiting, and was directed straight to my table. Whilst waiting for my friend, I ordered a wine and perused the menu.. After tossing up between pizza or pasta, I decided on the Thai calamari and prawn pizza - sweet chilli base, calamari, prawns, Spanish onions, roasted peppers, Japanese bread crumbs, coriander, and lime aioli ($22). The pizza was delicious! The best I have had all year. All the flavours were perfect together, nothing overpowering and didn't taste overly seafoody.. I would definitely get this one again. My friend ordered The Pachino (pretty much Hawaiian) and also enjoyed it.. although I did see her shovelling ham into a pile on the edge of her plate... "too much ham" she said. The sizes were pretty large, we could only get through half of our small pizzas and got the other half put into a container to take home... I'm not going to waste such a good pizza. Unfortunately we were too full to try dessert but I'll save room for it next time.
Augello's has always been a popular place, the food never disappoints, and the service is always friendly. The only negative is the noise, it's quite loud therefore you have to raise your voice a bit to have a conversation... but that can't really be fixed. I look forward to going back and ordering the same pizza again.

Had an amazing dinner here tonight. We booked earlier in the day and lucky we did as others were told there was a 30 min wait for a table. We sat upstairs and could see the beach and people passing by. The room was quite dark and loud and we were sitting in the corner facing the window. Service was quick and we were asked for drinks orders as soon as we sat down-had to ask them to come back as we had not decided yet!

For the main I ordered the sand crab lasagna which was amazing with a creamy seafood broth. My husband got the crab and prawn pasta with garlic and chilli. His was spicy but he enjoyed it.

The only downside to this place was that we felt quite rushed. As soon as our plates were cleared, and we declined dessert, we were asked to pay at the counter. I know they were busy but we felt as if we were getting kicked out!

-----29 Oct, 2016-----
It's been 3 years between visits to Augello's but I stayed true to my word from my last review and ordered a pizza, partly after being convinced by our very friendly and efficient waitress. Three years ago I thought all the pizzas coming out looked fantastic but after I ordered I watched them all leaving the kitchen piled too high with ingredients and covered in mayonnaise, which doesn't belong on a pizza in my opinion. Despite this opinion I somehow decided to order a very non-traditional tuna and salsa pizza. The "salsa" was mango and strawberry. The tuna was perfectly seared and topped with kupie mayo and at the beginning of each slice was wasabi. This all turned out to be a strange combination with the usual mozzarella covered base. It just didn't work. The wasabi certainly didn't belong and the delicate flavour of the fresh tuna was completely hidden. It was edible but not enjoyable. This may have been a winner for Augello's in 2010 but I think we have moved on from those crazy pizza years and returned to more simplistic and traditional toppings. I certainly will be sticking to more authentic offerings in future.

-----12 Oct, 2013-----We arrived on a busy Friday night without a booking but the staff managed to find us a table upstairs. The meals arrived within a reasonable time after ordering. Our son was happy with his spaghetti Bolognese which was perfectly sized. My partner described the scallop and prawn risotto as the best risotto he's ever had out (careful to point out that mine is the best - he's not stupid). The taste I had was deliciously creamy. My sandcrab lasagne was very tasty and very rich. I ordered the main meal size. Unfortunately they don't offer vegetable side dishes because I think the smaller size with some vegetables would provide more taste variety, a bit of crunch and a slightly lighter meal. Still, it was a great meal. I just wish I'd had room to try a dessert. I would happily go back to Augellos. Pizza is next on my list to try as they all looked amazing as they were taken past our table and smelt delicious.

Perfect place to have lunch on a hot day. We sat outside the cool sea breeze felt refreshing. There's a list of pizza, but would highly recommend the gourmet smoked salmon pizza. Small serve for one person has 8 substantial slices! Also had the entree size sand crab lasagna on a beautiful bisque. Friendly staff and fast service.

Wow! What can i say?
How can i sum up the service from the staff, the location, the food?
Except by describing it as B-E-A-UTIFUL!

the 2 of us came up from Melbourne and we had trouble finding a place for dinner.
Other then the decor looking a little outdated compared to its competitors on the strip, this place made up for it in more then 1 way and all at a reasonable cost.

Special mention to our waiter, dont remember his name but he was tall and i think bold.
(I would be horrible in a lineup of suspects).

Tasty pizzas, and great wine list to accompany. Pizza combos are creative and the chef obviously thinks outside the box. Make sure you book a table well in advance if you're wanting to dine in. Staff can be quite rude when you "rock up" and expect a table as a walk-in. Even when we DID have a booking, but arrived early, we still were treated rudely by door staff. Having said that, when we were seated half an hour later, our waiter was very attentive, and provided exceptional service.

Like it...with reservations. So we fell into Augello's. It seems to have a good Urban spoon rating, it's in our apartment building, it's even advertised on our room key. And there's a lot to like. Great service from our American waitress struck just the right note. And the interior is that 1980's, knocked about Italian bistro style, a bit noisy and chaotic, lots of chairs scraping on bare floors, etc. Laid back. Our first course of Hervey Bay scallops on cauliflower puree with pancetta crumbs was great but it all unravelled from there.
You can look at pizza a couple of ways. Our local Melbourne pizzacheria serves paper thin crust topped with simple tomato sauce, ham, cheese etc. Or pizza can be used to carry the contents of Auntie Mabel's handbag. Sadly, Augello's falls into the latter category. We blame ourselves. We should have seen the train wreck approaching, but we were momentarily dazzled by the flashing lights of "Voted World's Best Pizza" and "Augello's purchases more Huon Salmon than anyone in the world". When dealing in statements like this why not make it the Galaxy?
Sometimes less is more, Augello's. I no longer remember all the contents of that pizza. There was salmon, aioli, spinach, caramelised onion, salmon roe and a bunch of other stuff that roiled around my gut for hours on a thick, mediocre crust.
Having said that, I'd still consider going back to try the prawn and crab pasta :-)

Luckily rang an hour before and booked a table as the place was packed. Despite this staff were attentive, water & menus within moments of being seated. Prices were reasonable hubby had a massive bowl of bolognaise for $20, my sand crab lasagne was a little over $30 but absolutely delicious. I am addicted to Il Centros famous lasagne and this surpassed it, a new favourite. Atmosphere is terrific but agree with other reviews as not a romantic dinner spot as quite noisy. Highly recommend for a great value meal

Delicious and authentic!. I can't rave enough about the prawn and crab fettuccine I ate yesterday for lunch. The prawns were the most fresh and juicy that I've ever tried. The rest of the dish was also super fresh and well-seasoned. A hearty but just-right serve, it was nice and light and digested easily (quite uncharacteristic of pasta). The service was attentive and friendly, very homely. The views upstairs were incredible, and we were seated at the window without fuss - the waiter's suggestion. Will definitely be back ASAP!

Buzzy, Good Service. We booked for 2 on Saturday night and were running late so they gave us a call to confirm arrival. Well done staff! Service here was top notch. Cesear salad was large and tasty. Supreme pizza was good, but base was a little soft with the volume of topping. Topping blend was delicious though. Bonus was getting served a drink by famous Queenslander Billy Moore! Recommended.

Good pizzas. Quality "Australian" style pizzas. Bit on the pricey side at $20+ each but that's the esplanade price I suppose.
Backed up to Augello's again as they let us have a booked table on the condition we'd be quick. Got the signature crab and prawn penne, it was loaded with seafood. An option for chilli is the only suggestion I could make.
Bonus was found out that legendary QLD State of Origin player Billy Moore owns it.

The "world's greatest pizza": the hot smoked salmon was not definitely the world's best... It was a good pizza, but had too much cheese and not so fresh salmon. The crab and prawn penne was quite watery, but not unenjoyable I guess. Pretty decent for the price, very friendly staff.

Delicious, fresh and authentic. We had dinner on the street level patio and it was lovely to watch the ocean while we enjoyed our dinner. Service was excellent and they were happy to bring the smokey chilli sauce separately for hubby's seafood pizza.

I have always thought of Augello’s as a place to go for dinner. But breakfast is great as well. Something for everyone including those who like a bit of ‘spice’ in their breakfast.
