beccofino

this was my first visit to beccofino and i must admit after reading all of the reviews the night before, i was pretty disappointed. i ordered the pappardelle al ragu d'antra, against advice from a friend who had ordered it previously and found the duck chewy. my duck was ok, but still a little dry and overall the dish was bland. the friend i dined with, who lives close and is a repeat diner, ordered the truffle pizza, which was the winner of our two dishes.

beccofino is an absolute must try restaurant, the italian food is authentic and never disappoints. very popular restaurant and accomodating. love the mood lighting as well, intimate and delicious experience.

always a favourite of mine to go for dinner! i love love love the duck ragu pasta dish and find it hard to order something different for a change as it's so delicious. service is always friendly!

yes pizza here is fantastic; possibly the best in vegas. great friendly service; authentic and much more than pizza on offer but the pizza is hard to go past.
love it.
stable mate julius in soth brisbane equally good but painful to que/get into...

authentic delicious italian food, great wine list and fast service. friday and saturday nights get busy and keep in mind that they don't take bookings.

i've been reading and hearing wonderful things about beccofino for years. we have tried to come here before, but they don't take reservations and they are very popular. fortunately, we arrived fairly early tonight and only had to wait a few minutes for a table.

i ordered the pappardelle al ragu d'anatra and lady meatball went with the pesce del giorno (fish of the day).

the pappardelle al ragu d'anatra, thin pasta ribbons with duck and tomato ragu, was nice. the pasta was well cooked, the duck was moist and the sauce had good flavor. overall, it was a good dish, but not one of the best pappardelles i've had in brisbane (the best is 1889 enoteca). this rated a 3.5.

the fish of the day was a snapper, sautéed with the skin on, served over israeli couscous. the snapper was wonderful - the best fish i've tasted in months. the couscous was tender, but slightly bland. overall, this dish rates a 4.5.

a couple glasses of wine, a menabrea beer and some nice bread rounded out our meal. i would advise you steer clear of the bellvale pinot - this was a bit harsh and missed the mark.

only other comments are that the bread appeared to be served in a stainless steel dog bowl. also, the dim lighting creates a nice atmosphere, but makes photos quite difficult - i wasn't the only one who went with a flash.

would happily return.

it's a shame they seat you at the bar to get an extra two drinks out of you (brings the head spend up) but the food is great. pizza is delicious and the duck ragu is to die for

incredible. by far the best italian restaurant i have been to,. the service was immaculate. the menu was excellent, a lot of excellent dishes that were hard to choose between. waitresses were on top of everything and didn't miss a beat. highly recommended.

i walk in there wanting takeaway after a bad day. when asked what i was after i replied, what ever you suggest. the lamb ragout waiters pick. it was delicious. the lamb was tender and the paster was cooked to perfection. the gentleman who served me was lovely. i have been wanting to go here for ages with my husband.

went here for dinner on a friday night. it was an absolutely delightful experience. the wine we had was lovely. the service here is top class. one among the best in brisbane. we had the zucchini flowers that were amazing.. stuffed with cheese. yum! would go there another time for these. the food was also very good. definitely worth another visit!

i don't know what is better here the food or the service. went here for dinner on a wednesday night and the place was full. parking in and around the area is an issue if you don't live local.

such a fantastic experience at beccofino! the food is beyond amazing and very traditional. the calamari were so tender and delicious. they have a great wine selection too! hands down my favourite italian restaurant in brisbane

beccofino never disappoints. the pizza and pasta are equally as good, but if you are going there for lunch i recommend the pizza to share.if you want to avoid a wait, i recommend going at lunch or making sure you are there by 6pm for dinner as they do not take bookings and it is popular for good reason. in any case if you go and put your name down, they will take your number and give you a call when your table is ready, giving you the opportunity to go for a drink somewhere else in the area while you wait. enjoy!

pizzas here are simple yet delicious. pasta isn't drenched in cheese and cream and just just right. definitely one of our favourite italian places in brisbane!

absolutely loved beccefino! i am kicking myself for not going here sooner. you cannot book a table so be prepared to wait but it is worth it!! we had some of the house prosecco which was delicious and the red claw pinot nior. we had the calamari to start which is a must have! it was served with lemon, rocket and oil and cooked to perfection - one of the best i have had in brisbane. i had the pasta of the day (penne with eggplant, tomato and warm mozzarella) which was cooked beautifully. perfect date spot with not to bright lighting and a great atmosphere.
