Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Even though we hadn’t booked, the friendly gentleman at the entrance assured us there would be a table for 4 available in 5 mins if we wanted to wait, which we did. The atmosphere was great and had an abundance of choices from the menu,...all 4 of us admitted it was one of the best meals we’ve had. Staff were exceptionally friendly and happy which always adds to the vibe when the staff enjoy what they are doing, they cater for the people who want to get in and out fast, and also for the ‘take your time’ diners. Thoroughly enjoyed this experience!More

My partner and dined here last night the food & service was impeccable. The Marinara was the best I have had so full of flavour& a large serve. My partner had Scallopini with Prawns which he said was sensational. We would highly recommend Costa D'Oro...for great Italian food.More

BE AWARE!!! We went to dinner (two families) and ended up paying $50 extra on the top of the bill. They charged us ridiculous penalty rate because it was Saturday which was 10% and another card surcharge of 1,5%! I would understand penalty rate if...we went there on a public holidays but not just because it is Saturday night, especially if they charge for drinks like beer $10. Food was average, nothing special but overpriced, service was slow. Well, we tried and will never go back...they definitely lost us.More

After reading what appeared to be so many great reviews online we decided to try this place for some dinner. Unfortunately it was a terrible experience and I am not one for writing a bad review for a place. We were left without food for...over 50 minutes despite every other table that arrived after us and bigger groups also being served before us. We would have appreciated if we had ordered something which takes a while to cook, however all we asked for was simply a carbonara and pasta with chicken. We asked 4 different staff to check status of our order and then they finally appeared to realise we had been totally forgotten about as the fire mentioned other tables were by now finished eating and preparing to leave. When my partners carbonara did then arrive it was inedible. Thrown together and flavourless, my rigatoni pollo was only ok, I wouldn’t return again for it. Overall we were very disappointed with what we were so looking forward to a lovely Italian dining experience.More

We loved Costa D’oro. We went with our two kids (aged 15 and 12) and enjoyed it so much we went back again … and again … in the space of a week. Wonderful service, great setting and delicious food - we had several pastas...and pizzas; all were superb. Such great hospitality. Our favourite restaurant in Surfers Paradise.More

Excellent food, service and value for money. The four of us totally enjoyed our meals. The service was brilliant and very friendly. We had traditional lasagna, prawn spaghetti with anchovies, scallopini mushrooms, and bacon tomato fettuccine.

Very underwhelming food. Our waitress was quite pushy in wanting us to order as soon as we sat down. Very expensive food which was nothing great. The sticky date pudding I swear was a Sara Lee brand. Disappointed overall! And being charged a card surcharge...is a real insult…More

At Surfers for a family holiday and as a walk in with 10 people, we were able to get a table straight away in this very busy restaurant. So glad we did. Everyone enjoyed their meals and the staff were very attentive and friendly. Loved...the Gluten free options as we have two coeliacs in the family and their meals were delicious. Definitely recommend and will go back again on our next visit.More
