One of the best pizza I ever had in my life and definitely one of the best in Australia!!! The tiramisù was amazing as well. The staff were very professional and kindly like every restaurant as to be! In the middle of touristic places a very amazing surprise! Highly recommend Ciao!

Absolutely amazing food. Every dish was impeccable and truly bursting with flavour. We came at the beginning of the lunch service, so it wasn’t too busy, which we really loved. The décor is beautiful and adds to the overall experience. We will definitely be coming back. 10/10 We were after a light lunch and didn’t drink 1 x burrata 1 x san Daniel prosciutto 1 x chilli salami 1 x cheese focaccia 1 x mixed salad

We had a lovely dinner here and everything was great from start to finish. The food was fresh and delicious — especially the oysters and the pizzas, all perfectly cooked and full of flavour. The atmosphere is nice and comfortable, perfect for a relaxed evening out. A special thank you to our waitress Estefania — she was very friendly, attentive and professional. She made us feel welcome and well looked after without being intrusive. Service was smooth and fast. We’ll definitely come back!

The restaurant has an amazing view of the ocean at Surfers Paradise. The food was delicious and the staff were really friendly. Also, the bathrooms were clean and nice, that always says a lot about a place. The Italian music gave everything a charming, authentic vibe. I loved it. We had such a lovely Sunday afternoon there.

We were struggling to find a nice restaurant to eat at in Surfer’s Paradise but so glad we found Calabrese! Food and service was outstanding. The Spicy Pacchero Alla Calabrese pasta was the best pasta we’ve ever had (and we’ve traveled to Rome and Florence!), can highly recommend. The salad and potato rosti was 10/10 also. Reasonably prices too for such good quality
