The food at Piccolo's is very good. The coffee great, breakfast great, smoothies great, service good, menu not extensive but adequate. They are open Breakfast and lunch and often open Thurs, Fri and Sat for dinner but worth a call first. We were regulars at this resturant mainly for the exceptional coffee. But also good for catching up for Sat... More

It has recently been closed for renovations. Oscar's has a good reputation in Alice Springs. My wife is a particular fan of their pasta. I am somewhat less effusive. They do a range of different meals and everything I've had has been nicely prepared without being outstanding. I think the food is not cheap for what you get but it... More

I read the reviews for The Overlander and decided to go here instead. I never went to The Overlander so I cannot say if Oscar's was any better; but if it is, then The Overlander must be terrible. The place was empty on a Thursday night, which should have been a warning sign; but we headed in anyway. We split... More

We dined here on a very quiet Sunday night in late January for a celebration meal. Oscars has long had a reputation for being one of, if not the, best restaurants in town. We've had many good experiences here previously, but this visit wasn't one of those. Oscars isn't a cheap place to eat - 3 course meal and drinks... More

First of all, we chose this place because nothing else except McDonalds or KFC was open, at 6:20 in the evening; so these guys have the market cornered in that aspect. The food was quite good, except for the caesar salad which just had 4 big anchovie fillets slapped on the top, rather than blended into the dressing. The beer... More

Oscars used to be one of our favourite places to go for lunch or dinner - the food and service was the best in town. Now it feels lacking in atmosphere and whilst the staff try their best, it just feels a bit flat. The food isn't quite as good either so you don't feel like it's worth the price.... More

The food is graet, albeit a bit on the pricy side. Service is great, and a good central location.

We had Melbourne Cup lunch at Oscars with work colleagues, the meal was really lovely, great vegetarian entree and main, plus the non vegetarian food looked great, the seafood was very impressive by the comments of the other diners with me.

I visited Oscars with friends and found it by far the best food and most enjoyable evening during my visit to Alice Springs. I ordered the crab and prawn risotto followed by a chocolate pot and it was superb.If you visit Alice give yourself a treat and have a meal in Oscars, it's not to be missed!
