My wife and I visited on December 30, 2025. We had a margarita pizza, carbonara pasta, and tiramisu for dessert. The food was absolutely delicious, but even more than that, the female staff were incredibly considerate to us, a Japanese couple who struggle with English. We'll definitely visit again the next time we visit Cairns. Thank you.

During our recent holiday in Cairns, we had the pleasure of dining at this charming Italian restaurant, and it was an absolute highlight of our trip! The food was exceptional—each dish was bursting with flavor, made with fresh ingredients, and beautifully presented. We could tell the chefs really care about every detail. From the rich pastas to the delicious pizzas, every bite was a delight. What truly stood out was the warm and welcoming atmosphere. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, making us feel right at home. They were attentive without being overbearing and went out of their way to ensure we had a great experience. For families, this place is perfect! The staff thoughtfully provided our kids with colouring sheets to keep them entertained while we enjoyed our meal. It’s little touches like that that make a big difference, and it made dining out with little ones so much easier. Overall, a fantastic dining experience—delicious food, amazing service, and family-friendly vibes. We can’t wait to visit again on our next trip to Cairns!

Stopped in yesterday with my husband for a First Table lunch booking and were warmly welcomed from the moment we arrived. We were offered our choice of indoor or outdoor seating, which already set the tone for a relaxed, easy experience. Exactly what you want in the middle of a hot summer workday. The menu was honestly impressive. One of those menus where everything sounds so good, it’s impossible to choose. Thankfully our waiter guided us with a few recommendations, and I must say, every single one of them was absolutely bang on so thank you! The flavours were the kind that transport you straight to a tiny family run trattoria somewhere along the Amalfi Coast (not that I’ve ever been but it’s how I pictured it haha). Fresh pasta, rich sauces, generous portions… real, honest Italian food that tastes like someone’s little Nonna is secretly out back running the kitchen and keeping standards high. We came in planning for a quick work lunch… and somehow walked out after three courses and a couple of drinks. No regrets, not even a little. Beautiful service, authentic Italian flavours, and an atmosphere that makes it far too easy to stay longer than intended. We will absolutely be back!

I loved the gnocchi and coral trout here. Fish was cooked beautifully and the tomato sauce and salad on the side gave it a nice balance. The vibe of the restaurant is really nice and service was great!

Sophisticated but not stuffy vibe. No problem with special requests. Great marinara fettuccine. Really like you get to choose your pasta . Reasonable price for a Sunday in a 5 star spot with really good service. Very good wine list. And a shout out for the toilets were properly clean and sparkling. Will be back For the pizza next time.
