Jacky YanDecember 21, 2014Freshly cooked italian pasta of your prefrence listed on the menu. It then comes with 2 pieces of bread. Absolutely delicious I must say. Don't forget to order a glass of beer or wine.

Karl MissoNovember 19, 2012Amazing concept, great service. Nothing beats seeing your pasta made fresh and enjoying some light-hearted banter with the friendly chefs. All that plus Peroni on tap - it's a winner!Upvote3Downvote
Grace CoventryOctober 6, 2013Great food, but if you want to order pasta be ready to wait a while, and maybe consider getting a pizza if your friends are too (or go down to order 20 minutes before) or else you'll be eating alone!Upvote1Downvote
MarsGirlVoyagerJanuary 9, 2016A lovely place for dinner with a bit of excitement. Pasta is vegan and 3 vegan sauces are available too.UpvoteDownvote
Rae WMay 31, 2012Check out the herb garden upstairs - add fresh herbs from pots to make your already awesome pasta taste even better. Also, highly recommend the pesto pasta with penne.UpvoteDownvote
Jessica F. SilvaFebruary 2, 2017I have been in all Vapianos in Australia. It's the best and freshier Italian food so far!UpvoteDownvote- ErinJuly 20, 2010Great wine list; fresh, tasty food (the mini herb gardens in the middle of the tables are awesome); lots of variety and a lively atmosphere. Go upstairs for the best seats.UpvoteDownvote
Nice pastas cooked to your liking while you wait, great pizzas (authentic taste!). Try the upstairs and see the table with a live olive tree, also great desserts from the downstairs bar!UpvoteDownvote
BrendonJanuary 3, 2017Order your pizza first as you have to wait in a different line for pasta and the pizza takes longer.UpvoteDownvote
DanFebruary 16, 2011Fresh Pasta made in front of you. Can ask for a few little changes too. Fresh basil from the pot to add. An italian place worth going to. :DUpvote1Downvote
- Best pasta in Brisbane. My fave: tagliatelle with the gambari e spinaci sauce, I always get them to add some chilli - delish! So going there on Monday night :)Upvote1Downvote
Ayu SchlafiAugust 31, 2011I like the restaurant concept the food is really awesome. And the cook is super friendly especially the Brazillian cook :)UpvoteDownvote
Charmi VeronikaJanuary 15, 2017The pasta is good. More vegan options, especially in pizza and desserts would be better.UpvoteDownvote
John PetrovSeptember 19, 2014Seems like a good idea, but does not work. During lunch rush you'll have to queue for 30+ mins to get ONE dish then get your own cutlery, find a table etc. Food court experience at restaurant prices.UpvoteDownvote
It really is one of my favorite spots in Brisbane. A regular visit for me every time I am in Brisbane.UpvoteDownvote
Mike HenryNovember 30, 2017Ordered fettuccine carbonara and it came well cooked but very disappointed in the sauce which was almost non-existent! No trace of the “creamy, egg yolk” as promised in the menu 👎

Mums with kids get a free meal in the whole month of May. Not even buy 1 get 1 free. Free straight up. Double thumbs up!UpvoteDownvote
Melinda GibsonApril 26, 2012Music is too loud and a bit jarring. Good food though. Like the system of having one card and paying at the end - makes splitting bills very easy.

Carmen AuApril 19, 2012Very nice restaurant! And you can observe how the cook make your pasta :)UpvoteDownvote
Free soft drink or coffee when you check in 4 times :)Upvote2Downvote
Opt for the whole wheat pasta, a different taste and definitely worth trying at least onceUpvote1Downvote
Danielle CNovember 9, 2011I really love the Nizza Salad. I have converted many a friend to these :)

Tom SheppardJune 23, 2010Just had the pestso con spinachi and marinara e rucola. Great value for money. The pesto pizza is georgeous.UpvoteDownvote
Ross CFebruary 5, 2011Share a galzone, and at $20 it's a bargain. Also try drizzling some chili oil for an extra kick.UpvoteDownvote
Andrew PeelSeptember 13, 2014Bolognese was all onion, carrot, spaghetti stuck together. Carbonara all cream and garlic, no flavour. Overpriced, awful concept. Fail
