lavoro

i absolutely love this restaurant, and it is now my go to place to dine. the food is like heaven and truly authenticitaliancuisine, and is the bestitalianfood i have ever tasted. the portion sizes are very generous, the atmosphere is warm friendly and fantastic and the customer service is world class 5 stars. the owner is always there to warmly greet all his customers, and he makes you feel like you are family. i cannot express how much of a rare diamond this restaurant is that ticks all the boxes, i love this place and can’t wait to dine there again.

great food and great service at a great price. started with the garlic and cheese pizza which was absolutely scrumptious. it was woodfired and had a slight char with a real good ratio of base to topping. for mains we had the mushroom gnocchi and marinara spaghetti. you can definitely taste the love in both of these dishes. the sauces for each complimented the pasta extremely well. you can tell they use fresh seafood for the marinara and in trueitalianspirit, are very generous with the serving size... which is much appreciated. to finish we shared a tiramisu which was delightful. i enjoyed the subtle coffee notes however my husband wished there was more of a kick. the service was real friendly and attentive throughout the entire night. overall, i would recommend and will be returning. a great view if you sit outside and not to mention the cheap drinks.

thoroughly recommend! staff were attentive i felt like i was at a family dinner with every whim of the guest granted quickly with a smile. i had spaghetti marinara, well balanced sauce and perfectly andante. someone had porterhouse steak, beautiful colour all the way through the meat, couldn’t stop myself watching how smoothly the knife cut like butter and soft spring to the meat. mmmmm. gnocchi was delicious i was told. half the party arrived a half hour late but despite the busy restaurant, nothing said or a dirty look! treat yourself to some great trueitalianfare.

this place has amazingitalianfood, great prices... and the best service i've had in a restaurant in a long time! will definitely be back again.

we went here for lunch today (first time) and i was very impressed with the menu choice and service. i think this is the best authenticitalianstyle pizza in the area. the service was quick and friendly. i do think the decor could benefit from an update, but the food was fab. will definitely be returning.

first time at lavoro since they have changed owners, because a friend recommended it. service was good, staff very friendly .pizza was ok, probably the best around this area , but a bit disappointed about the ingredients , and limited choice of pizzas(mhm... not very italian...). we also had fish and chips and calamari... it was good..we had a look at other people plates and have to say... very generous !overall do not expect a realitalianexperience but for sure a good enjoyable feed much better than most restaurants or pubs around rockingham . they need to improve decor and quality of ingredients and i hope overtime they will . me personally ... i will go backl
