One of the few authentic Italian restaurants, where they speak Italian and the flavors are really like in Italy. I ate the pasta with seafood and it was very good, just had too much garlic and cooking water. It was a shame because could be excellent.

I've got two things to say.....mussels and lamb rack! Being a "mussel-ologist" I can tell you the steamed mussels are the second best I have ever had and that is a big statement! Perfectly cooked in a beautifully spiced broth everything mussels should be. The lamb rack finished with a hay smoked infusion was also a very memorable dish. Excellent... More

I visited this restaurant with a group and I think this may have affected my experience at this establishment. It had some positives so I'll try and be constructive. Food - We had antipasto platters and then a set menu of barramundi or chicken. Having eaten at some stand out italian restaurants in my time (lived in Melbourne for a... More

Went with hubby, bustling busy atmosphere so we thought it must be good. We ate spanner crab linguini (delicious) and seafood linguini (can't recall exact name) which was lovely. Desserts were to die for, hubby had chocolate mud cake that was so rich & gooey with frozen raspberry crumble (amazing) and I had vanilla panacotta with amaretti soaked strawberries &... More

This restaurant in Port Douglas is what all holiday town restaurants should be - sophisticated food, caring staff, perfectly held reservations, casual artistic atmosphere and prices that were not crazy (by Australian standards) The main they brought me was not the one I ordered, they quickly rectified it and gave me credit without a moments hesitation. Lovely dinner for two,... More

Came here for dinner in a group of 6 and we all walked away fully satisfied and wanting more! Definitely the best restaurant we visited in Port Douglas. Vitello tonnato, olive ascolane & calamari alla calabrese were delicious for entrees and shared. Veal saltimbocca, lasagne, bistecca fiorantina were also to die for. To finish up we shared a dessert plate... More

After a minor mixup with our booking, the host bent over backwards to find us a table at peak time. Food was superb and really well priced for port douglas. The seafood pasta was best I've had and when they call the chocolate cake "best ever" they really aren't kidding. Service a little slow and completely forgot our coffees, then... More

The atmosphere,service, food and wine list would be the envy of many eateries. We both had the linguini fritto de mere ( fruits of the sea ) and a bottle of Pino Griggio from Tuscany. Wished I hadn't filled up with brechetta and breads ( all fabulous ) earlier as the deserts sounded tempting. The restaraunt experience was complete. We... More
