POPOLO REVIEWS

The experience at the popolo restaurant was very special. My partner and I were celebrating our second year together and everything was amazing. We loved the gastronomy of the place, the view and of course the great service. Definitely the best restaurant in Brisbane. If you are looking for good Italian cuisine and a cozy place, this is the best choice for you!!!.

One of the best meals we had in Brisbane. Fantastic staff, helpful and great service as well as a great wine list. And a beautiful view! Thank you.

Lovely spot. Beautiful view. However the restaurant was very tightly packed with everyone so it was difficult to move around. They do have a Sunday surcharge as well.

Delicious food, I ordered the chicken Alfredo and it was perfect. Our servers name was Ana and she was very nice and attentive. The food came fast and very good serving sizes. Would recommend 100%.

Had a lovely lunch. Food is very tasty. Portion sizes are large. My daughter and I shared two dishes, and still had left overs. Rose wine was lovely, mocktail was delicious. Thank you.

1889 ENOTECA REVIEWS

We came as a large group of 10 for my father’s birthday lunch and had an excellent time! Amazing food, Italian wine selection and friendly service to top it all off. The restaurant was busy but the staff handled it flawlessly. The bugs, fish and pastas were all done to perfection and the veal starter was a delicious surprise (recommended by our server and we’re glad we got it)! Goes without saying the tiramisu is a must have (the chocolate sauce on the bottom was a nice surprise).

Everything was perfect. The food was so amazing and the atmosphere was very nice and they gave me a special drink and biscuits for my birthday that I didn't expect it. I'm sure that I’ll be back again. Thank you so much for my special birthday.

Great service. The staff definitely looked after us. It was my friend’s birthday and they gave us complementary cookies and drink. Gnocchi was my favourite.
