Brilliant service, super cosy atmosphere and the most drool-worthy, authentic Italian we have had for a long time in Brisbane. Incredibly accommodating and I could not fault a thing. Home made focaccia to go with our charcuterie was DELICIOUS, super generous pasta servings and I even had a non-alcoholic spritz made that was just like the real thing. Definitely coming back. Do yourself a favour and try COMO! Bravo team 👏

Amazing experience! I booked a spot for 18 people. The team were so accommodating! I called a few days earlier and they were able to seat us in a more private area. At no extra cost or minimum spend, it is incredible value here!
