Stopped here to have dinner before our penguin parade. Lots of seating indoor and out. We had a…read morenice table near the windows on a chilly evening. We chose to split a salad, the bread and olives, and a pizza. While I like veggie pizza, husband likes meaty pizza so we asked if they could do a half and half. While they said, they don't usually do that, they made an exception for us. We love that focus on the customer and appreciate the accommodation. All the food was excellent. We were debating about all three salads and our server suggested the one we got and we were not disappointed. Such a nice light dressing and lots of veggies. For dessert, we had the affogato. I love that dessert. So simple but delicious. Husband hates coffee and loves ice cream. I love both so works for both of us.

After wrapping up our night at the penguin parade we headed over to downtown and decided to eat at…read morePino's. It seemed busy with lots of cars parked out front. It was a fairly large restaurant with outdoor and indoor seating. Decor was nice with an unusual display of motorcycle outfits mounted to the walls. We were promptly seated and asked a couple times by different staff if we were ready to order. It seemed like there was a lack of coordination. However, after placing our order it did take awhile to flag a waiter's attention to get water refills and later one to go box for leftovers. In general the pastas were good in size but a bit lacking in flavors and seasoning. The bolognese and arrabiatta tasted about the same. The chicken risotto was watery instead of creamy. The romana pizza turned out to be the best of all the dishes we tried that night. At the end of the meal, we paid at the counter in front.

This place is really unassuming from the outside, but their pizza is delicious!…read more We went on a quiet Saturday night, not expecting much, and were really pleasantly surprised. The lady behind the counter was SUPER nice and explained to us the different pizza options. I got the vegetarian pizza with no cheese to make it vegan (their pizza bases are vegan) and no onions. I'm always wary of rocking up to a regular pizza place and asking for no cheese, because you never know how the pizza's going to turn out. Some pizza places just rely so heavily on that gooey cheese taste to mask the inadequacies of their sauce and ingredients. Well, not true here -- the sauce is DELICIOUS! It was nicely tangy and really made the pizza worthwhile even without cheese. Really great for people who are lactose-intolerant or avoiding dairy for health or ethical reasons. Would be great if they could offer Bio-Cheese or another vegan cheese like a lot of pizzerias are starting to do, but hey, maybe someday. The price was also great -- my vegetarian pizza was $10 for a large, and the portion sizes are good. I had enough to eat for two days, so if you're a tourist visiting Cowes for the day and don't want to be hassled with carting around any leftovers, definitely get the small. Ambience-wise, don't expect much -- it's definitely more of a take-away-joint kind of a vibe rather than a cozy eat-in experience, but it's perfectly fine for what it is.

I would recommend The Fat Seagull because: 1. Food was not bad, expect to spend $25 AUD per person. I would have loved to try their signature Coat of Arms pizza (half emu, half kangaroo), but they were sold out early. Instead, we enjoyed the baramundi fish and shrimp entrees. 2. Nice, clean atmosphere. Table cloth & wine glasses kind-of place, but everyone was in casual attire. 3. You really don't have many options in the area. For some odd reason, every other restaurant on the main street was closed for business, and the ones that were opened mostly served fried food.

For a small town this restaurant does not do badly - we were in search for dinner as one does and…read moreconsidering the options on the two main streets where restaurants were most apparent this seemed the best choice. The choices are pretty straight forward - pasta or pizza - I went for the seafood linguini - and it was pretty decent considering the neighbourhood. We got seating outside - even though there were five of us and it was peak time we were lucky to get that! And they also had a pretty economical deal going that evening - I think a Tuesday and for Australian standards that was the bargain. So why 3 stars? Well firstly the seagulls. At first it's pretty cool they come up close and you are feeling closer to nature - but then they get kinda aggressive ! Scarily so - they were attacking my friend - no joke and am pretty sure plucked a few prawns off his pasta bowl. So that was strange but memorable ;) And most people at this intersection of restaurants by the coast are to be fair tourists because they want to see the penguins - and we were guiltily the same. It's cool but it would be nice to hear your own thoughts whilst you eat sometimes.
