My wife and decided to have Italian and chose to look 'the best Italian Restaurant in Surfers Paradise'... According to Tripadvisor, that's Alfresco; hmmmWe arrive, the waitress is friendly and seats us at a table and we order a beer and cider for my wife. The drinks were delivered by a bloke (I guess from the bar). My beer in a glass and my cider; just in the stubbie, with no glass - Just a little thing, but not cool. Dare I say, a tad unprofessionalNext, after waiting too long and musing that all the staff seem to disappear in 'waves', a lovely young lady took our order. I ordered crumbed Camembert-stuffed Mushies for entree and Veal Scaloppini for my Main and my wife ordered Napoli Sauce...
Firstly the greetings - they value every guest who walks in the door, and as they leave again. The place was buzzing from 5.30pm until late. The owner (Italian descent) was just a professional ! Order light, or order heavy, the flavours of the foods we experienced were awesome. Food was presented without a long delay, the portions are very generous. Pretty good Wine List for those who partake. We returned twice to this restaurant at the end of our stay after discovering a wonderful gem. Although Italian influenced, steaks and seafood are also available.Staff were pleasingly efficient, polite and well presented. The front part of restaurant looks out onto the main street with people and light...
I dined at this venue with family and friends on Saturday night. I am glad we had booked as the venue was packed. Seemed to be a large number of locals at the Restaurant and not a large number of tourists. Definitively a family run well established business.When we arrive a line at the door of guests who were waiting for tables (they had not booked). As we had a booking we were immediately taken to our table. Staff were friendly and we were greeted by the Owner "Raf".Drinks orders taken and drinks came out. We ordered wine and regretfully we exhausted the supply of 1 variety and had to change.to another. There was a little confusion about how to decant the wine and then a lack of large red w...
The wait staff were all very friendly and helpful. The food was good, not amazing, but nice. My husband had carbonara tortellini which he really enjoyed. I had a chicken dish with tomato, pesto and feta cheese. The pesto sauce was delicious but the chicken that it was covering was flavourless. I didn't eat the chicken. I ate the pesto sauce with the steamed vegetables. If you ask for a mocktail they have 2 options. One of them is a Mojito. I wouldn't recommend it though. It tasted like soda water with mint leaves. When we told the waitress she didn't offer to replace it.I asked for some cucumber for my son, they brought it cut in small cubes. I asked them to bring it out in sticks as the cub...

After planning to go to a restaurant in broadbeach that didnt do reservations then walking around for an hr trying to find somewhere that had room for us we ended up at Alfresco Italian, funny enough right near our hotel. They were busy but made room for us with no drama. All the staff were lovely and welcoming. The good was wonderful too. We later found out the person who showed us to our table was the owner. He was lovely, remembered my dad's name and also remembered we mentioned it was my husband's birthday. They also provided a slice of Italian continental cake and sung happy birthday. After the night looking like it was going to be a flop it ended up perfect all thanks to Alfresco Itali...
We ate at Alfresco on a Sunday night and by 6 p.m. it was near capacity. The atmosphere was nice-what a busy quality casual Italian restaurant should be -noisy with fun loving people tired and hungry after a day at Surfer's Paradise. The G tram stops pretty much outside so is easy to get to. I thought the food was good and the service was great. I would dine here again but eat something simpler ( I said to my wife I should have had spaghetti and meat balls-usually can't go wrong with that). Anyways...we did enjoy Alfresco and all those who filled the place to capacity seemed to be loving it.
This place was packed when we went in on a Friday night, we had a reservation though so we got a seat. We had to wait a bit for our drinks and food orders to be taken, then the food took about 45 mins. However it was very busy, the staff were working very hard but despite this they all seemed happy and were ready to help. When it came the food was very nice and not too expensive.
Au centre de surfers, c'est un excellent restaurant italienLe service a été ultra rapide alors que le restaurant était pleinLe personnel est vraiment charmant, souriant, aux accents chantants italiensLes plats sont très bien cuisinés, on s'est régalé!
