Review That Italian Place Iii - Surfers Paradise

The food was good but it doesn't make up for attitude of the owner. She was short, sarcastic and condescending. With a strong whiff of racism. The fact is we were a table of 8 celebrating my wife's birthday. And my wife left the restaurant disrespected in way we were demeaned. Her attitude and mannerisms were quite opposite to other non-ethnic customers. Would not recommend and would not revisit.

Absolutely wonderful food - go for the $50 surprise menu about 8 share plates. Front of house service could be organised better. 3 hours of grazing✔️Don’t miss the experience of authentic South Italian food.

Great food, owners are lovely Chef (owner) makes me a special dish every time I go there! Always delicious. His wife Belinda is lovely That Italian Place comes highly recommended Thanks

Very disappointing. Service started ok, but wait staff not trained very well even on basic menu questions... eggplant entree was not bad but lacked seasoning and flavour. The mains were so bad we didn’t finish them, nobody asked how our meal was, even when we went to pay 5 mins after our mains were delivered... the seafood pasta was just a cheap frozen seafood mix chucked together, and the pasta with oil and garlic was so full of old, brown off tasting garlic it was inedible. Pasta on both dishes not cooked well at all, most of it was stuck together, ended up going down the road to a different place and paying for a better dinner elsewhere. The owner was sat in the front of the restaurant on his phone showing the other staff something, having loud conversations about whatever, seemed completely uninterested in what was going on in the restaurant which was disappointing, given the chance we would have given constructive feedback in the restaurant, but didn’t feel like starting a discussion with people who really didn’t seem to care about customers.

My first impression was not that great. Opened the door and had to call the two staff members of my presence, looking for a table. After that they were courteous and helpful. The ambiance was good, but the temperature was not good at all. They have three ceiling fans and an aircon unit, which all of them together were ineffective of cooling off the dining area. Meals and service was quick and good. Noticed that waiting staff were a bit inexperienced as I had to ask for the drinks menu. Chose an Italian beer which was served chilled as well as the glass ( I was impressed). Beer price was above average. $10 for a peroni leggera, which normally costs $9 elsewhere. I had a bruschetta for starters and a tagliatelle bolognese. All added up paid $34.80. Will I go back? Nothing appealed much to me to urge me to revisit. This is my opinion, which is not necessary a unique one, but will gauge an average when added to existing or new ones.

Amazing food, friendly and efficient service abd not too pricey. Overall we had a lovely night and would recommend this lovely restaurant to anyone visiting Chevron. 5 stars

I went there because I saw other days that it was crowded so I thought it could be a good restaurant. In my opinion nothing special, and actually I think it is far from a real Italian taste. Maybe it is because I'm European and I'm very used to real and good Italian dishes. The staff is very likeable and the place is nice.

Host was very knowledgeable and she was very caring. atmosphere is okay. Our male waiter seemed unenthusiastic. Meals were good enough value.
