    We had dinner with family at Bella Venezia and every dish was amazing. Our 9 year old grandson ate a whole large pizza which he has never done before plus some kifler potatoes. The fish was fresh and perfectly cooked and flavours of the sauces were amazing. The pasta and gnocchi were beautifully presented and perfect size.

    The staff were very lovey and inviting. The food was amazing! The table we were placed at was a little bit awkward, it was a bit too tall for the chairs, but other than that it was great experience. Next time I will book a regular short table though haha! Can’t wait to go back

    Food, wine and service was amazing. We sat outside, the only downside was the rubbish bins only metres away from us. They could've been placed out there after service as the smell emanating from them took away from a great food and service experience.

    Pavilion was so lovely to eat at. The decor was cute and casual but the food made it next level. The view over mooloolaba beach was stunning and I loved the whole experience. I had the mushroom ravioli with a glass of wine and am so happy with all of it. A stunning experience.
