It was something out of a bad dream to get a table for dinner in Noosa this past rainy weekend. El…read moreCapitano was the 5th spot we tried one night making our way back toward our airbnb and even though they told us there was a 45 min wait I saw "Sgroppino" on the menu and had to take my chances. We sat down to wait and they were able to get us in sooner than they said (big win with a tired 2 year old!) We did not start the evening out being in the mood for Italian but this ended up being one of the best meals we had in Noosa! We sat on the outside patio that has a cute little bench seating for one side and a view of a garden that buffers the tables from the road. Faves of the meal were the Sgroppino, one of the best I have had including in Italy, I can not believe more folks don't know this drink exists and the Cache peppe arancini balls, the perfect flavor for this already fun appetizer. Was happy to see greens on the menu as well, since finding those on vacation can be few and far between and the rocket pear and parmesan salad hit the spot. Service was friendly and fast on a very packed evening and they also have a special at 4pm for kiddos to reward the parents that we wanted to try to make this weekend but will put on the list higher for next time. Also might try to grab a Sgroppino at the bar while I wait for a takeout order and eat the pizza at the beach. Would def come back again!

Some of the best discoveries are unexpected. One such example, is Locale, an Italian Restaurant on…read more62 Hastings St Noosa. Exploring, & popping in for lunch drawn to its gorgeous upscale fit-out. Clean lines, Lots of dark wood, incandescent lighting, ceiling fans, retractable ceiling, and prominent surrounding plants and rock face. Ambience is relaxed, a nice way to have lunch. Service is excellent. Friendly, and ever-present, without being overbearing. Lunch Menu is divided into share plates ("Cicchetti"), Mains ("Pranzo"), as well as Salads & Pizza. Cicchetti & Pranzo prices ranged from $8-23, and $18 - $38 respectively. Start with some amazing sweet potato & pumpkin Gnocchi ($8), with buffalo ricotta, rosemary & sage cream. Unique & divine, available only at lunch. Follow it up with prosciutto & sage wrapped scallops with lemon parsley oil ($8). Another top-notch starter. Continue the gourmet experience with a Filetto di pesce. Snapper with Sicilian green olives, crispy kipfler potatoes, artichoke, white wine & saffron brodetto. Round off with some organic Acquerello Carnaroli saffron risotto, Moreton bay bug, & Gympie baby zucchini. Both mains, are "Wow"! But wait, there's more. If you have room for dessert, go straight to the heavens with the Bombolini. A hazelnut chocolate crème patissiere centred Italian doughnut, praline, & vanilla bean gelato. Add some Valrhona Chocolate fondant, cherry coulis heart, with Saffron gelato, & you have just completed one extraordinary lunch, both in taste & experience. Locale is a must-try if you want to treat yourself, to modern & upscale Italian cuisine. Definitely one of Noosa's gems on Hastings St. Open daily from 12pm.

We ordered 2 pastas and 2 pizzas. Waited 1hr and 11mins for 1 pizza. Spoke to staff and they checked on food. Waited another 15mins for the 2 pastas. Another 15mins for sons pizza. absolutely shocking service. Food was average. So disappointed. I will say the manager gave us 50% refund but honestly. To wait this long for such easy meals and it was clear it was super rushed anyway. never again. Never

So here's a place that's by the beach and is open on holidays. Does it have anything else going for…read moreit? It's not unexpectedly fairly costly in this premium location, with an extra charge on holidays (common practice around these parts, but notable as that's when people go to the beach). Nonetheless, I managed to avoid this as for some reason didn't put the sign up until after I'd paid. The place was busy, and it's a nicer dining area than average. The pizza itself was notable for the quantity of toppings. The pizza I ordered had pumpkin, artichokes, and sundried tomatoes. I'm not wild about pumpkin, but it was a palatable pizza, and I was full enough to walk all the way around the nearby national park and start my trip back without so much as a hint of hunger. Seeing as how the Sunshine Coast region has yet to catch the vegetarian fever that has spread through Gold Coast and Brisbane, this place is an acceptable option for me.

Our first encounter with Miss Moneypenny's was in December last year. We were blown away by the…read morefunky decor, the cool staff, the awesome menu, the extensive wine and cocktail list and the mellow tunes the DJ was spinning on a Saturday afternoon. When we headed back up to the Sunshine Coast in March it was a no brainer for us to revisit this place for a proper meal and a few drinks to wile away the afternoon in a great location. Our first impression was that already Miss Moneypenny was looking a bit tired around the edges. The water carafe to fill our funky cut glass water tumblers had chips all around the rim, the glasses themselves were showing marks of wear and the menus were quite crumpled and stained. Add to that the staff uniforms varied from well dressed supervisors to quite casually dressed waitresses(aka runners and jean shorts) which left me questioning the standards for a venue which is not on the cheaper side of the market. I found the music was very generic and didn't really do anything to help the atmosphere of the place, although I know this is a personal preference. I will say I still love the wooden panelling, the lounge areas and the glassware, they add a certain touch which sets this place apart from your average cafe/restaurant on Hasting Street. The question is, is it enough? We were once again impressed with the food and for the most enjoyed our drink choices. Our frustration was the in the delays in service due to shift changes when the restaurant really wasn't busy. Your customer does come first, not catching up with your mates whilst they have a knock off drink at the bar. Your average cocktail will set you back $16-$19. Food starts with tapas around the $10 mark and main meals from about $30+. I must say that when expressed our frustrations about our drinks the staff were more than willing to take on our feedback and were keen to make sure that we knew that they are working really hard to improve their service levels and the overall standard of the product they deliver. In a world where hospitality is so dependant on it's people and changes so quickly really this is an awesome attitude that hopefully will pay off. I may not be quite so keenly anticipating a visit again next time I'm in Noosa, but if I'm passing by I'll be prepared to stop and have another drink and nibble to see if they've followed through on their plans for improvement or just been delivering lip service.
