We were walking around the Paradise Centreshopping center planning to go to another Italian…read morerestaurant we went to yesterday, when we saw this girl with a pizza in hand for us to sample. It was very good. Then she told us about this restaurant and gave me a coupon for free garlic bread. It's on the 2nd floor, hard to know it exists from downstairs. So I was really surprised to see such a nice place. I love the decor and ambience. They also have outdoor seating. Service was great. We ordered the Gamberi E Spinaci Risotto, really good . The Chicken Fettuccine Carbonara was definitely a winner. The kid's pizza was adorable. They really put their hearts into it. This lychee drink is amazing. You gotta try it.

I had a peaceful walk and stopped in for a breakfast to complete my morning. The place was not busy…read more as at sat outside it was several seats available. I genuinely think my complaint is just a case of not being self aware. Feeling the energy between your tables is very important to offer a pleasant restaurant experience. The young waitress greeted nicely but was being a brush off and rushing. I was inquiring about the things in the menu and instead of giving proper feed back she just kept saying "I can give you more time". Although she claimed to be doing me a favor, I kept coming with more questions both my son and I both had and just didn't get the idea of offering more in put. It felt I was holding her up, but she honestly wasn't that busy. When I asked for another waitress she told her boss and personally her boss didn't handle it appropriately so I see where it trails down from. Proper training in customer service is needed. The manager came over when I called her over but at first she walked past my table like nothing ever happened. Assisting the customer as soon as you're available is protocol to any business. I waited after she attended several tables. She excused the younger girls behavior as she just talks fast but she was not very well servicing to my needs. Maybe to others she was but, as a retired server myself it takes experience and someone to tell you their disaffection for you to be aware of your actions and not to do it again. Hope she can improve.

The breakfast menu had a few interesting dishes and we ended up ordering a pizza and bacon and egg roll. Of course this is Australia so its not crispy bacon like in America, but more of a ham.

I would potentially give this another try during lunch or dinner hours.
