La Costa Restaurant & Bar

La Costa Restaurant is a homage to the sultry tones of the Northern Italian coastline all on it’s own. Behind the white, heritage-listed facade you’ll find a dining oasis fitted out with exposed brick columns, seafoam-green and white décor, woven basket light fixtures and European table tops—all designed to transport you to slow and sensuous summers on the Italian Riviera.

The epically tasty menu plays on the coastal theme, making use of plenty of fresh seafood. Think gin and beetroot cured salmon bruschetta, mussels in white wine and sun-dried tomatoes with toasted sourdough and Moreton Bay bug spaghetti with shellfish broth. Other pasta dishes include creamy truffle pappardelle and pumpkin and sage ravioli, while a lengthy pizza menu features the likes of margherita, tartufata and quattro formaggi slices. 

Make sure you save room for dessert, because the tiramisu bomboloni—doughnuts filled with tiramisu cream and chocolate sauce—and limoncello meringue tart both have your name on them. Order both, no judgement here.
