I had a very enjoyable night at La Spaggia, with some extra tasty bites. Started my meal off with Arancinie E Crochette Italian rice balls and potato croquettes. The rice ball had to be my favourite. I guess thats the asian in me. I always find the rice dish a favourite. With a squishy texture it gives it that fun feeling in your mouth. Both balls were seasoned perfectly and the pea taste in the potato ball gave me a full flavour bite that I thoroughly enjoyed. For my main meal I had to go with the Fettuccine Marinara with homemade ribbon pasta tossed in a thick tomato sauce with fresh local mussels, prawns, calamari and scallops. I have to say that seafood and pasta are a mix that bring two...
A friend of mine goes here all the time and recommend it to me. Quite a big restaurant, it was extremely busy and full so I would recommend booking. Tables were nicely set up with wine glasses. We sat in the back section. The waiter was very attentive at the start (though after we got our meals and he checked how they were going, he didn't really come back and we wanted some more drinks). The menu is quite large and has antipasto, entrees, pastas, woodfired pizzas and secondi (meals). Our group tried the tomato gnocchi home made this was extremely good. The pizzas were also excellent and my chicken scallopini was also nice.Hubby got the special the osso bucco which he said was ok. Our aranci...
Great place and pizzas are perfectly prepared and cooked in wood fired oven. The base is a traditional thin Romano style with fresh toppings. I rate the pizzas close to best in Coogee. The Fettuccini Marina was tasty, with nice variety of fresh fish. I changed it from its tomato base on the menu to al bianco (the real way to have pasta marina)...waiter was only to happy to accommodate. They serve Menabrea Italian premium beer which was icy cold and super smooth. Pizzas cost b/w $20-$30, beers $7-$9 for 330ml. Its a busy place and you need to book. It not for the romantics but you wont be disappointed with the quality of food and beverage selection.
La Spiaggia was fantastic! My pizza was probably the best and most authentic Italian pizza I’ve had since I was in Italy. Wood fired, thin and crispy base, huge size, delicious toppings. The cheese was so flavoursome. My partner had a pasta, which was also great. Good menu with all the classics and good variety. Service was friendly and efficient. Nice wine menu, and the glasses of wine were very generous! A little pricey, but to be expected for the area, and good value for the serving sizes and quality of food. Cosy and romantic setting, and you couldn’t overhear the other tables around you. Family friendly. Lovely dinner!

I had a wonderful meal at a restaurant in Coogee yesterday. The service was very polite and friendly. The bruschetta and calamari starters were good, but not outstanding. The bruschetta had a sweet flavor, and the calamari was a bit chewy. However, I really enjoyed the margherita pizza that I ordered for my main course. It was simple but very well done, with a slightly sweet tomato paste, creamy and salty cheese, and a thin, evenly cooked pizza base. I decided not to order any dessert.
I made a reservation for dinner with a small group. I ordered the tortellini boscaiola, which was delicious. For dessert, we all shared the profiteroles, which were also delicious. The staff was friendly and attentive. Overall, I would recommend this place, although I did find it to be a bit pricey.
Great local restaurant with delicious food and very friendly service. Good for families with a wide range of options and a yum, simple kids menu. I highly recommend the penne meatballs! Also has great takeaway options for a relaxed meal on Coogee Beach.
The restaurant has good atmosphere. Juicy thin pizza. Tasty. Service can be better though. It is not that there are not enough waiters, some training may help them to spot customers who need service.

This charming Italian restaurant is perfect for a peaceful dinner. The Penne Meatballs are delicious, and the Pizza with Hot Salami is exceptional, with the spice of the salami being notably hot.
Pizza was a 10/10 Customer service was average, nothing to complain about however.
