Hidden Gem!! This…read morerestaurant in a quiet suburban shopping strip serves surpisingly good wood fired pizzas. We love the thin crispy crust and good quality toppings. The kitchen is run by a professional, relaxed young Eastern European team and they also produce some Eastern European dishes as well as salads and pasta. We've tried the Cevapi (skinless sausages with onion and sour cream) and Sudzukice (veal sausage with paprika relish, onion and sour cream). They are served in half a somun (a soft chewy flatbread) and are delicious. We give a big thumbs up for their goat cheese, rocket and mushroom salad too. The service is efficient and friendly and we thought it was good value for money.

There was only four of us , so how hard is it ? the service was appalling, slovenly waitresses, slow almost non existent attention , meals came out erratically , never together , and of very poor quality. Tasteless was the best that can be said. When we went to pay , unbelievably we were asked by the owner how it was ! So I told him in the nicest way of all the issues we encountered. My feedback was met with a torrent of foul mouthed abuse , the man is a pig. He abused me at the till , then followed me out to the table and abused my companions. Stay away from this place , you can do better.

The service was fairly fast and our waitress really friendly. The lunch menu had a nice range plus some healthy items and some 'Create your own' sandwich options.

Some of my friend got pizzas and I have to say, I can't comment on taste, but they looked really good!

Roman Empire Bar is one of those restaurants that I've been meaning to go to for a few years but…read morenever got around to it. After a spot of late night Christmas shopping at Carindale last Thursday, it seemed the perfect opportunity to try this popular Italian restaurant. We were happy to wait for a table seeing we hadn't made a booking but I would recommend anyone wanting to try this restaurant to make a reservation. The waitress made it clear that they drew a large crowd even on weeknights. Unfortunately on that night, the food did not live up to its reputation. Our scallop and calamari pasta was bland and had to be spiced up with lots of Tabasco and chilli flakes. The lasagne was average but I suppose I just had higher expectations given the recommendations of the place. Since we've been inundated with different cooking shows on television, the home cook is a lot more adventurous making and tasting food. On the odd occasion, I even make my own pasta and store it in airtight containers. While the Roman Empire Bar probably doesn't beat fresh home-made pasta, it is a decent night out at a fair price.

I think it's the name, but it's also the laid back atmosphere and cool menu. This is to be expected, I guess, as it has it's roots in the surfie 70's of Byron, but what is great is that three decades on, the friendliness and hospitality remains. Although the pizzas have a 2011 pricetag, they are so big and jam packed with fresh ingredients and yummy combos. I really like the Puttanesca, but mine has to have anchovies and then, it's like wow, man. The only problem with Earth 'n' Sea is it's so popular, a couple of times we've tried to drop in before or after a movie, we haven't been able to get through the door.

A firm favourite amongst families and locals, I can't deny…read morethat the pizza here is very delicious. Earth'n'sea didn't look all that appealing when I first walked in (I think my previous bad experiences with Italian made me hesitant to cross the threshold) but I had a quick change of heart when I smelled the drool-inducing aromas of fresh pizza and pasta. The menu has a decidedly retro flair. (Just look at the illustrations ...a can of coke falls under DRINKAROONIES here!) But under a recommendation I opted for the Mullumbimby Madness, which you could tell was super fresh and tasted amazing. (Mushrooms, capsicum, onion, olives, garlic, tomato AND pineapple It was all served on a perfect crinkly crackly crust.) This place does get a bit loud here, but it's nothing you wouldn't expect from a family restaurant. (Also may explain the long line of people opting for takeaways....hmmm.) I recommend bringing your friends here and having a good 'ol fashioned pizza party. Aww yeah!

As soon as you enter the premises it feels like you've stepped into a little part of Italy. The food here resembles home cooking. It isn't refined, and some of the dishes are most likely the same ones being served up at the restauranteur's own table. Alongside the food there is sometimes an Italian who sings a number of classic Italian songs, and this helps the atmosphere. Don't expect great pizza or pasta, just good sized servings made with Italian hands. And the staff are so friendly they make you feel like you've just stepped into their living room. You become an adopted member of a large Italian family for an evening. Definately worth the trip, and the tiramisu is up for tasting if your stomach can fit any more food.
