It's very clean, and unexpectedly large making it a nice open, well-lit environment. Connected to the popular Robina Town Centre shopping mall it's an awesome close by food hall i would recommend to anyone.

Everything from sauces, to pastas made fresh in their factory, to olive oil, to grissini, Angelo's has everything you could possibly need. When I popped in the staff were lovely and we had a good chat about the benefits of using first press olive oil. They were knowledgeable and clearly passionate about giving advice to novices like me. The pre-prepared cannelloni, tortellini and ravioli could potentially make me look like a half-decent cook next time I'm entertaining! What a revelation! For a bit of Italia in your life, Angelo's provides fresh, delicious produce available to everyone from their retail centre. I know where I'll be going next time I have people over for dinner!

I generally never buy frozen foods…read morebecause they're always so blah, but Angelo's pasta and lasagne is like finding an amazing Italian restaurant in your microwave. When I've had a hell day at work or if I randomly have people over, Angelo's saves me. My favourite Angelo's product is their ravioli. Apart from their frozen pastas and ready meals, they also sell fresh pasta, dry pasta, and frozen pizzas. Their boutique pastas are an extra special treat and some of the flavours are unusual and amazing (I'm looking at you, beetroot fettuccine!). The parsley fettuccine is a revelation and my friends think I'm a culinary genius when I serve it up with nothing but some olive oil, lemon juice, and a little pecorino cheese on top. Angelo's has been making people look like amazing Italian cooks in their own home since 1968 apparently, and I'd be lying if I've never taken credit for one of their lasagnes myself.

Place looked impressive, they have a prohibition theme going on and some staff were dressed in that era. I must say, they looked very stylish. A smiling and very personable Abigail took our coffee orders and the charming Shannon took our food requests. Kudos to the flair and the warm interaction they both had. Nothing was troublesome and the food arrived in less then 10 minutes. Wow. I would definitely come here again; especially after Abigail took the time to talk about the Loose Moose like it was her own business. The young lady has passion and it's so obvious she loves what she does. The cocktail menu was pretty phenomenal and those that are interested there're about 80 varieties of whiskey! This is now on my must visit places in Broadbeach and I hope they retain their service, style and old world meets modern charm. Thanks guys!

No prominent signs about surcharges as required under ACL [Australian Consumer Law]. This is illegal! If they surcharge you, contact your bank and have it reversed, because they have broken the law. 2. Staff are inattentive. They seem to nonchalantly ask "Can I help you?" then scamper off. They don't bring water, offer menus, Wi-Fi password, help you with the App, etc. 3. They have split bill, because you pay when ordering, rather than at the end. Which I quite like. It also means you can leave as soon as you finish, rather than trying to find one of the evasive staff that seem to scamper away from you. 4. Food and drink are on the expensive side, but you are getting quality. Pity the staff service is not of the same quality.

The fitout comprises of exposed bricks, dark leather, lots of wood and mood lighting. It is essentially a trattoria with a focus on food sharing, good music and winning beverages. Plenty of these little funky venues around to compete with these days, so I hope they maintain their point of differences which are their service, food quality and consistency. This time, i believe they ticked all those boxes for us. Service was friendly, with a knowledgeable team. Food was delicious - get the homemade spanner crab lasagna! They serve wicked cocktails with a reasonable price tag. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Happy to sing high praises for this new kid on the Petrie Terrace block!

A delightful crackling fireplace, booths of dark tufted leather, beautiful wooden tables, rustic exposed brick walls, high ceilings and very quirky and trendy paintings and wall decorations. Very cool, very well thought-out. Paired with great music, the atmosphere is sophisticated, old-word and welcoming. Now to the food. Fantastic. Great range. It is Italian, so meatballs, woodfired pizza, calamari, caprese salad, but also a fantastic steak. We loved the food. Also, they do $15 pizza on Mondays... To the wine! Delicious. They also do a great happy hour with $10 Negronis between 4-6pm. I think this is one of Brisbane hidden gems and it is our new favourite Brisbane restaurant!

Bella Cosi is a nice little restaurant located on one of Chermside's quieter side streets, although…read moreduring peak shopping times these streets tend to get overcrowded and a bit hectic. Paid parking now being instituted at Westfield Chermside has caused a lot of the traffic to spill out over into the streets, which unfortunately can limit your parking choices for Bella Cosi. The place itself however is really quite lovely, with the choice of both outdoor and indoor seating. It oozes Italian charm, with red, black, and white seats and furnishings and an Italian street scene occupying an entire wall that gives you itchy feet and makes you want to travel. There's even the odd vespa outside, which only adds more Italian charm to the place. The tea they serve is made from real leaves, no fake tea here, and their coffee is strong and smooth, just what I love and expect from a true Italian restaurant. Breakfast is a treat here, with fluffy berry pancakes served with ice cream and excellent scrambled eggs. They also crisp the bacon if you request it. Breakfast isn't a busy time at Bella Cosi, so it's a really nice place to sit back and enjoy the Italian aura without excess noise or worries. Getting in early has its benefits, including easier parking and less of a crowd.

The food was delicious I ordered the Scaloppine Amore which i would certainly recommend to any veal eaters, perfectly cooked and portion size was certainly enough. My lovely lady had a All Meat Piza which as per ussual was great, Romanas certainly excels with their pizza. All in all a great experience and will 100% be back.
