Ordered take away. Called at 5.30pm guy who answered was rude n just wanted to get me off the phone. Lasagne was not home made for $20 pretty expensive for what I got. BBQ chicken pizza $24.90, way too much BBQ sauce n was extremely thin pan. I would never go here to eat again n I definitely wouldn't recommend... More

Our Taxi driver suggested the Garlic King Praws at Alfresco on Elston, when we asked for a 'good seafood place'. The place was busy and the dish was just as he described. The serving was large with lots of big, juicy prawn. The garlic was subtle and not overpowering. What a delicious meal!

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

Firstly, let me make it clear....the people that run this restaurant are very experienced and great hosts. The service is friendly and great....but.... The food is decidedly average ! 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
