DONNA BIONDA REVIEWS
A wonderful accidental discovery! We ended up wandering through City Lane when our plans were upended. We picked Donna Bionda, and I'm so glad we did. The staff were beyond helpful, including squeezing us in without a booking. The food was amazing. Each dish was close to perfect. The chefs know their Italian food! We sat near the pizza oven, which meant we got dinner and a show. The arancini were the best I've had in Townsville. The pizza base was perfectly charred, and the bolognese was spot on. The tiramisu was great, not too sweet, but not bitter either. The only downside was that the tomatoes on the bruschetta weren't overly ripe. A great date night spot. We will be back.
If I could give it 10 stars I would, food was fantastic, staff are great & the place looks cool too! 1000% recommend!! Note: lighting is pretty ambient so the photo doesn’t do any justice to how good it was Also ate pizza but I forgot to take a photo.
Went out for dinner with my eldest daughter, the pasta was very well cooked and extremely filling.

FASTA PASTA REVIEWS
Lovely food last night, so much I took the rare step of taking left overs home (they also do takeaway). The only complaint is that it is an incredibly loud and obnoxious atmosphere inside. No attempt had been made to provide a warm/comfortable dining experience, and every sound is amplified from simple cutlery movements to what seemed like redecorating the kitchen. However!! The staff and food were AMAZING, and I hope management will do more to modernise the internals to encourage a more comfortable and intimate dining experience to match their fantastic food.
Just how I remember it, delicious pasta. And the kids loved making their own pasta meal. The service was amazing! I wish they would bring back fasta pasta. We are from the gold coast and came here for old times sake and to show our kids my favourite restaurant growing up. It did not disappoint.
Awesome atmosphere, service and food. Highly recommend to eat here. Definitely coming back.

FRANK'S PIZZA NAPOLI REVIEWS
Tonight was the first night I've ever tried Franks. I was in a bit of a hurry but I still had just such an excellent experience. The food was superb, the service was excellent. All of the staff are really friendly with the exception of one man (who may have actually been the owner interestingly enough). I got the margarita pizza as per the staff's recommendation and it was just perfect. Pizzas are good priced, drinks are a little overpriced so it kind of evens out. It's just so great to get such a warm welcome when you arrive at a restaurant and at Franks tonight, I got just that. Thanks guys. I'll be back.
Excellent food and great service. As a few other reviewers complained about, this place accepts cash only doesn’t take credit cards. However, the stroll to the ATM was well worth it. The food was really, really good and I can’t recommend it enough.
Outstanding restaurant. Was based in the army in Townsville years ago, now living in Coffs Harbour we make a personal stop there every winter for the outstanding food and beverage.
