This hidden gem has a lovely deck, a great place to relax, enjoy the coffee, read the newspaper or sip a glass of wine while overlooking the Palms golf course. The soft Salmon tacos are highly recommended for lunch. Plenty of parking available.

Reviewed By Scottysdad

If you are looking to take your better half or family for a quiet night out then forget this place...especially on live music nights. Nothing wrong with the music itself but the noise combination of the band and diners is truly overbearing. It’s loud, raucous and more akin to a Tavern scene than a typical Italian restaurant.The food was ok but the mains took over an hour.This is very much a ‘downmarket’ venue as opposed to say Ioesco at Sanctuary Cove which has real class .Sorry but I’d be reluctant to return which, as a Coomera Waters local is a real shame.

Good things come in small packages resounds loudly here. This small authentic pizza and pasta bar is only a small shop but offers proper wood fired authentic pizzas that are the real deal. Flavorsome pizzas with the "less is more" approach and the genuine Italian chef and owner experience is a guarantee here. Try the margarita or Hawaiian. It's not the cheapest but it is the best in the area. Well done Pizzeria Porcini just opposite the subway on the southern side on hope island road.

This restaurant has two brilliant French chefs and two very nice brother and sister "front of house". After being strongly!! recommended this restaurant by some friends, we booked for a Sunday lunch. The bouillabaisse (a French seafood dish) was sensational, followed by the best crepe suzettes outside of Paris. Our friends had the excellent crispy skinned fish (barramundi) followed by the sticky date pudding with vanilla bean icecream. (After having a taste of the friend's dessert, I ordered another for myself...fabulous).Went back with another set of friends the next weekend and the food was again sensational.The meal servings are generous (I really get annoyed if I get a big plate with nothing on it) so I felt that it was great value.It is a little more expensive than the cafes in Paradise Point but the food was sooo much better than the standard meals served on the Coast. This restaurant is a real standout on the coast at the moment. Do yourself a favour and check this one out.We are so happy to hear you enjoyed your Lunch. Thanks for checking us out and taking the time to share. Hope to see you again.On behalf of David, Danielle and myself we look forward to welcoming you back again

What a great find this Italian restaurant is. The food and staff are fantastic. We have been twice in the past week, pizza the first time and they are grea, fresh and full of life from a wood fired oven. The second time we had their bread and dip plate as an entree. That was fantastic with a glass of red. For mains we had the Veal Scallopini el Fungi. What a great meal with roast potatoes and a side salad. We will certainly be back on our return to the area. They also have live music mid week. BYO wine.

Have not dined here yet but quite often stop in for Friday/Saturday night drinks. Always a good atmosphere. The live music has been great each time but sometimes wish it started slightly earlier than 9pm. Overall a nice tavern, lovely location and will keep coming back

This is getting four star review for the food only. We only ever get take away from Mano's and decided Saturday to dine in. The food, awesome as always! Chef deserves 5 stars. The service, not so awesome. The lady didn't look like she wanted to be there at all. Very rude staff and she said about two words to us. I asked for water it seemed like a big deal. We wont dine in again we will go back to take away.
