Top Best Italian Restaurants in Brisbane City

"Alchemy Restaurant Brisbane provides some of the best waterfront dining experiences Brisbane has to offer. Stepping inside this Brisbane steakhouse, guests will be greeted with a warm and sophisticated indoor-outdoor venue that overlooks the Story Bridge. Complimenting a gastronomic selection of classic and contemporary, Alchemy features a range of wagyu, dry-aged and pasture-fed cuts that pairs exquisitely with their long list of Australian, New Zealand and European wine options."

"If you travel a little further down the boardwalk alongside the river from Customs House, you will soon find yourself standing in front of Alchemy, one of the best restaurants and eateries that make up the Eagle Street Pier precinct. This Italian-inspired restaurant is brought to us by highly acclaimed Australian chef Brad Jolly. His culinary excellence truly shines through in his food and impeccable plate presentation will be sure to tantalise your tastebuds."

"The 25-page list has a focus on boutique producers, offering more varietals and styles than you can poke a cork screw at. Luckily, the staff here really know their stuff, so if you’re struggling to work out what will pair best with your saltimbocca or whether you should have a dessert wine alongside your bombolini (doughnuts), rest assured you’re in good hands. 12 Logan Rd, Woolloongabba 1889enoteca.com.au"

"Specialising in Roman Italian cuisine, you’ll find all your favourite, traditional Italian meals on the menu. For those who seek to pair their meal with a nice drop, 1889 Enoteca’s private downstairs wine cellar will have everything you need. All to make sure you stay long after your plate is clean."

"Italian is a cuisine that's so widespread that it often becomes difficult to differentiate one restaurant from the next and leads to restaurant owners attempting to resort to some unnecessary gimmicks, so it's somewhat refreshing that the best part about Beccofino is that it's nothing particularly fancy. This restaurant is simply true seasonal Italian dining done with just the right blend of ingredients, flavours and passion that it's a true "slice of Italy" in Brisbane, as cliche as that may sound. One of the first quirks you'll likely notice about Beccofino is that they won't take bookings - it's operated on a serve-as-you-come-basis - however provided wait times are typically accurate and it's easy to while away the waiting period with a drink or three at the restaurant's bar in the mean time."

"Thanks to the food gods at Beccofino, you can now enjoy the tastes of Italy without booking a plane ticket. Known throughout Brisbane for its divine duck ragu that brings locals in by the flock, it’s also one of the must-do spots for authentic, woodfired pizza. This Teneriffe restaurant is the perfect place to kick back and while away the afternoon with a margherita pizza and glass of rosé in hand."

"Menu recommendations may include: Pappardelle al Ragu d’Anatra - Flat ribbon pasta with a duck and tomato ragu, Number 1 - Tomato, fior di latte, basil and thinly sliced Prosciutto di Parma, Mascarpon..."

"A triumphant relocation for this CBD fave, Coppa’s new home on Eagle Street Pier brought plenty of their best bites along, with plenty of fresh seafood, hearty mains and Italian bites to pair with your frosé, frosecco, or frogroni (that’s a frozen Negroni, duh). Coppa’s inside/outside feel and adaptable menu makes it suited to everything from wid-week lunch to weekend dinners and date night drinks."

"This elegant Italian-accented bar may be in the middle of the CBD, but it feels as approachable as your neighbourhood local. "Spuntini" – small dishes designed to accompany drinks – are the perfect size for one. The negroni makers are accomplished and the vibe unhurried and friendly."

"Closing out our list of the best Italian restaurants of Brisbane is Coppa Spuntino. Coppa Spuntino have meals big and small, for sharing or for yourself, that’ll leave you feeling full, but not stuffed. When you’ve had enough to eat, you can venture down to the wine bar and kick on."

"From some familiar faces (if you’re an Italian food fan), this casual Paddington eatery is all about traditional Italian bites served with heart. Swing in for all the usual antipasti suspects as well as a range of wood-fired pizzas and pastas served with quality ingredients that do all the talking."

"No vegan restaurant round-up is complete without The Green Edge!. Arguably the most iconic vegan destination in Brisbane, this restaurant offers a hearty menu for breakfast, lunch & dinner that even a carnivore could happily chow down on. If you’re there during the day time, you can also shop up a storm in the grocery section."

"Located outside of the city in Windsor, the Green Edge is a family owned business dedicated to providing the means for people to make ethical choices in their daily lives, through their cafe and grocery store."

"Hard to beat for the convenience factor, head to the SpudBar in the Wintergarden food court for a hearty baked potato topped with any fillings you like."

"Milque Spa offers ALL the services, from massages and skin treatments, to hair cuts and styling. Their pamper packages even include light lunches and platters, so book in together and have a mother and daughter indulgence day for the ultimate treat!"

"This spa may be conveniently located just minutes from the city, but it can truly take you far away from your everyday stresses. Their staff strives to give you more than just an ordinary spa experience. In fact, they make this place your sanctuary."
