The owner George is such a lovely family man with always a smile on he's face and keeping customers happy! I've been there a few times and never disappointed with still ordering the same tasty meal 'Pollo Dello Chef' a gluten free meal of chargrilled chicken breast, topped with avocado, bacon and finished with a creamy sweet chili sauce. This meal is a large and super filling plate licking dish, with also getting my Mother to order is as well. Always visit back with the family for a special occasion, Mother's Day dinner here we come!

We came down to Jetty Road for dinner on a cold Tuesday night after a long weekend ... and found…read moreonly a couple of places open! So this is how we came upon Cafe Prego ;) I must say, this place exceeded our expectations from the beginning. We came here expecting a middle-of-the-road pizza and pasta place in the same vein as many other. But when we looked at the menu, we could see that there were some other influences at work here - falafel platters and moussaka on an Italian menu? Interesting! The garlic bread we shared was amazing - not good if you don't like your garlic bread dripping with butter ... but I thought it was delicious! More like a garlic pizza than garlic bread - yum! I ordered the 'George's' pizza - salami, olives, marinated tomatoes, anchovies, bocconcini and fresh basil - it was amazing! Meals came out very quickly (we were still finishing off our garlic bread), the base was cooked perfectly - not too crusty - and the toppings were generous and fresh. My partner had the moussaka, which she was was delicious and very 'homemade' tasting (I had a bite, and had a bit of food envy :P). The staff were very efficient and friendly, and we felt very comfortable here. All in all, I was pleasantly surprised with Cafe Prego, and would definitely come here again ;)

What can I say, they're still the same very yummy food that I remember. Oooohhh that creamy pasta is to die for LOL. The seafood pizza is delicious too. A bit salty for my liking but I kinda expect it since it has anchovies. Lol Regarding customer service, it's just ok. The first time we came the staffs on duty were all cheerful and welcoming. On our recent visit customer service was just blah. So it really depends on who's working that time. The only thing I'm not fond of is the price LOL. Like we ordered just one carbonara (good for 2) and small pizza (good for 2 as well)... and 1 coke haha --- and we paid like 40 plus aud. Oh well, sometimes you have to pay the price for a really good meal. 4.5 star

The curry tasted watered down, the duck was dry and I'm sure was cooked the previous day only to be reheated and fried to crisp the skin. Marinara pasta was too salty and used imported sea food. Most mains are in the $30 range and wouldn't pass even if we're half price. Avoid.

Both times the restaurants we picked were closed. So we ended up eating at another restaurant. So today we chose Lido. When we got there, there's only one couple dinning in there. We were served water as soon as we had taken a seat. Pretty good. Proceeded to order two mains - Pork belly and lamb chop. The place is not packed but I think we waited 30 mins for the food. Well, at least whrn the food came, it's not bad. The lamb is medium cooked. The meat is tender and juicy, mixed with red wine sauce and it's really a delight. However I do not like the rice and the vegetables that came with it. The rice is slightly dry, probably long grain. And the vegetable is just 5 pieces of grilled pineapples which I don't like. there's also a tiny problem of the serving size.... no... big problem... it's not exactly filling enough. :( The Pork belly has a smoky taste to it, while the skin is a crispy, it's a bit hard too. The meat is soft and chewy, really nice. Overall, I like the service given. We were being checked upon twice by the waiting stuff for the quality of the food served. The food is fine too. A pity, the waiting time is slightly long, and the serving size is small. Now the last part. After dinner. .. the first downpour for the week! Rain rain rain. It looks like it's only going to get heavier .. Soaking wet and couldn't run after a meal... it does made me wonder. . Is it worth the effort to eat out there tonight? -_-'

This is a small little cafe located on Jetty Road (closer to the Brighton Road end). I had never…read morebeen here before until yesterday when my friend told me she had the best foccacia from here. We met there for lunch and we were greeted by two staff from behind the counter. They were very warm, smiley and welcoming. The lady handed us menus and offered us to take a seat - inside or outside. (Most of the tables were for about 2-4 people, so I wouldn't recommend large groups coming here.) We ordered at the counter and they brang our lunch to our tables once it was freshly made. I chose a smoked salmon foccacia with capers, lettuce, spanish onions and fresh dill mayo - sounds good hey!? It was! My only criticism is that there was a bit too much bread, but I find this the case with most foccacias any where. Pasta Gourmet's menu includes pasta (shock!!!), pizza, curry, burgers, sandwiches, wraps, chicken schnitzel, a large breakfast menu, cakes, and of course tea, coffee and cold drinks. Oh, and one last thing, everything is under $15!!!

Charlie's Diner is your typical all you can eat establishment. An array of different curries,…read moreChinese food, pasta, pizza, roast, vegetables, icecream, salads, bread, spring rolls, etc mean that there is something for everyone at a decent cost. It is set up in a very similar way to a tavern and resembles a lowbrow pub which suits the eating establishment theme. The food quality is what you would kind of expect for all you can eat - satisfactory at best however overall it is palatable. Beyond the food, they have soft drink machines and arcade games, however the floor is noticeably sticky. Staff are generally nice but the establishment can be quite loud from time to time. Overall, if you are hungry and need a quick meal, the range here is good and the price is alright. Don't expect the best service or the best damn pizza ever but do expect to feel somewhat satisfied. The potato and pasta salads are also good (would recommend trying - not brilliant but still good).

They've obviously got more than one chef and it depends on what night of the week you go there, as…read morethe quality of the food will vary dramatically. The first time ever we went there was quite a while ago, the food was great and we even had to line up to get in. We've been there several times since and had reasonably good experiences and will no lining up but the last time we went it was very ordinary. And so the downward spiral begins. The service was good and the place was kept clean but the food, namely the roasts, pizza, spring rolls, etc basically all the food which needed to be kept warm was dried out. Perhaps it was over cooked to start with or the bain maries were kept at a constantly high temperature or just sat there for too long exposed to the elements. Smorgasbords are great value for money if you're a big eater, large groups are catered for as there's lots of room but the quality of the food needs to be good enough to eat. I hate to think of the hygiene side of things too! And I have to mention it's a cold place in winter as it's so open with no cosy feel to it at all. Summer it's a better environment but again the food is a let down now compared to when it first opened its doors.
