Another fabulous evening at Etna. Amazing food, exceptional service and a genuinely authentic Italian experience. It’s one of those places that just gets it right every time, great food, great atmosphere and people who make you feel incredibly welcome. I’ve tried plenty of Italian restaurants around Brisbane, but Etna is still firmly at the top of my list. My absolute favourite. Bellissimo!

• Italian • Paddington
Booked 11 times today
We had a lovely dinner at Grappino Ristorante Trattoria. We tried the traditional lasagna, gnocchi and spaghetti bolognese, and we really enjoyed all three. It was the kind of Italian comfort food we’d happily order again. We finished with tiramisu, which was a delicious way to end the meal. The owner was warm and friendly and made us feel welcome. That personal touch made the evening just as memorable as the food. We’d highly recommend Grappino to anyone looking for a good Italian meal in Paddington, and we’ll definitely be back.

• Wine Bar • Fortitude Valley

A lovely intimate wine bar with a good selection of wines from around the world. We drank a very agreeable rose. Although the bar was very quiet the night we went - everyone was watching a big rugby league game - our host (Jack) was more than happy to accommodate us. A nice place to take a date too.
