Loved everything about this place!!!! But most of all I loved that the owner ( a little Italian man) visited every table and made us all laugh. Will defiantly be returning. :)

We visit this restaurant frequently. Stuffed mushrooms are amazing, bug pasta is to die for. I have never had a bad meal here. The service is exceptional. Highly recommend but need to book.

My husband and I spent 2 out of 3 of our nights here for tea. We ordered the pizza between the both of us with a glass of red. The best pizza we have ever eaten. The staff were friendly and knowledgible. Will return again next time we are on the gold coast.

Went there and had 3 pastas between 3 of us. All extremely bland and lacking flavour. Had a Nutella pizza for dessert which was tasty but could have easily been made at home! (Pizza base with nutella spreaded on top...) did not try the main pizzas but looked average from what I saw. Extremely friendly staff and plenty of what... More

I had spaghetti bolognese , my daughter a fungi risotto in cream and my son a creamy mushroom pesto pasta. I took the opportunity to sample all. We finished off sharing... More

Dined once again at Alfresco on Elston and were not disappointed. The food was full of flavour and the staff warm and welcoming. Our extremely fussy 2 year old ate all of her pizza and ventured on to eat some our pasta as well. Since our first visit we have not been able to bring ourselves to eat at any... More

Our family of four loved this family run restaurant. The service is amazing due to the staff who welcome their customers and then continue to make sure you have the best dining experience possible. My daughter aged 7 declared the pizza the best she's had and my son couldn't finish his as the servings are all very generous. Our mains... More
