I'm 37 and have been coming here for 37 years.
Schnitzel and Cheese combo is the one and only choice.
The few times I have ordered something different, I enjoy it but its just not the same.
Orange cordial, crusty bread, although last time I didn't get the lettuce in the metal bowl? Hopefully that was just an oversight.
Its quick, satisfying, and feel like home.
I live in Brisbane now so cant wait for the Broadbeach outlet to open
The coffee downstairs is great also.

This place looks like what it is ...a restaurant with lots of history...quaint and homely.
It is on a street full of places to eat, so competition would be tough...we chose it because it seemed to be well patronised so hoped the food would live up to our expectations - authentic, tasty Italian.
It was mid-week & still reasonably busy but we managed a seat near the veranda area so we could people watch while we waited for our meal! The staff were attentive and polite and the food arrived fairly quickly...we both ordered lamb skewers & salad which unfortunately were just okay - not bad but certainly a little tough and not particularly tasty. In retrospect, maybe we should have ordered a more traditional pasta - the diners' meals beside us definitely smelt pretty good!

If you get a chance to eat here make sure you ask to sit on the balcony. Nice view and breeze. Our waitress name is Breeze who is very outgoing and efficient. Had several plates. Alfredo, prawns , chicken sandwich and poached eggs on toast with avocado. Very flavorful I’m a great atmosphere. Would definitely come back.

We enjoyed the meals that we had and the witress was very attentive.
Fine choice of food.
Well presented and priced.

Very basic bad Italian food. It is reasonable but not good at all. Bar Reggio across the street and on the corner is far superior for cheap good Italian food.
