My husband and I shared a Capricciosa pizza with a delicious thin base and excellent quality toppings, bug risotto and a house salad. We enjoyed every item we ordered. The food came out quickly, the staff were attentive and friendly, and the prices were quite reasonable!

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.

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. The food was quite good, not the absolute best but great for a nice lunch. I got a chicken burger with lovely avocado and juicy chicken. 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.

We were then greeted by the owner who suggested a series of breads for the table, all of which were delicious! Upon hearing that I had a shellfish allergy he went to inform the kitchen to minimise chances of cross contamination and suggested some dishes that would be safe for me. The owner was so warm and friendly, it was like dining at an old friends house with better food. The food was delicious. Everyone at our table was incredibly happy with their dish. The serving sizes were HUGE which was fantastic as we got doggy bags at the end of the meal. 10/10, the best dining experience I have had in a long time.

Ave Cucina & Cafe in leafy Eva St, Coorparoo is a quaint little cafe that has been around for a…read morewhile now; one that we've always wanted to try, serving food with an Italian & Middle Eastern influence. As soon as we walked in, the smell of heavenly coffee filled the room, & we noticed the beautiful interior of the cafe, which was very inviting & we immediately felt at home due to it's relaxed setting. We ordered: 1) Open chicken panino, grilled chicken, crispy bacon, haloumi, tomato, avocado, rocket, house aioli, shaved provoloni cheese ($17). 2) Lebanese breakfast potatoes, & messy eggs, labne, cucumber, olive salads, pickels, zaatar bread ($17) + extra mushrooms ($4). Both dishes were so delicious, we could've had another serving! Coffee is by DiBella using the Modena blend. A blend that is smooth, & not bitter. Overall, the service was excellent, food & coffee was great, so we would definitely come back, & try some of the other delicious dishes on offer. It's really nice to experience little gems like this in the 'burbs. It's child & family friendly being next to a child care centre, & a very comfortable atmosphere. Bless, All day menus! ( Ave Cucina's is 7:30 - 2pm).

Atmosphere- relaxed, local and friendly. Coffee- smooth, rich and perfect. Food- delicious, reasonable, hugely portioned and clearly made with love. One of the most wonderful things was that we sat down at 9am and didn't leave until 12pm. Not once were we pestered or asked if we wanted the bill. We were left to eat, catch up on conversation, drink caffeine and be merry. It's so rare that you find a great brekky place that doesn't get people in, feed them, then get them to leave. Ave is worth the trip to the eastern burbs. I will most definitely be back again....and again.

Tucked away in Seven Hills you can expect Marco (owner and chef) to oven bake delicious, authentic and well priced pizza, right before your eyes. This family owned business, albeit understated, has been delighting our family for the better part of 10 years. Be it birthdays, special occasions and take-away, I've never steered far away from my favourite the "capricciosa", (although they're all great). If you like being surrounded by Italian memorabilia, like a BYO resturant and are prepared to drive a few minutes out of your way, I promise you will be pleasantly surprised. Ciao.
