Massimo

Combining Italian cuisine with waterfront views and a selection of superb seafood, it’s not hard to see why Massimo has become one Eagle Street Pier’s most popular foodie destinations. Far from your average seaside trattoria, this offering from the team behind Opa, Rich & Rare, Fatcow and Fosh gives traditional Italian dining a sleek modern style, served with a healthy helping of Mediterranean hospitality.

If you haven't dined in a while, you might not recognise the place—a sleek renovation has taken the venue out of the Amalfi Coast and dialed up the European charm with earthy green upholostery, natural timber finishings, concrete tiling and white linen accents. Of course, it's still got that Brisbane River view and a balmy evening breeze, so prepare to settle in for a long night of antipasti and aperitif. 

Massimo serves up a huge range of Italian eats all day long, including housemade focaccia, burrata, cacio e pepe served tableside from a wheel of pecorino, and even gives you the option of spaghetti with your choice of seafood straight from the tank—now that’s classy. And if all that choice is just too overwhelming for you, fear not. Massimo also offers bottomless lunches and banquets. Why choose when you can just eat it all?
