- MMiaBrisbane •1 review5.0Dined on Apr 10, 2025We just moved to Brisbane and got recommended this place from family and we absolutely love it. We’ve been here 3 times now and each of them have been great. We love the atmosphere of the restaurant and love sitting in the upstairs dining area. We have tried a variety of their drinks and meals, and have loved every one. Personal favourites has to be the prawn Camberi pasta, the Nduja Diavola pizza (add burrata) and the pornstar martini. The staff are always so lovely and help with any questions you may have. Special shout out to the guy with the black hair that is the host at the Albert Lane location and Natalie, for being so friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be going back and recommending it to others.More infoVapiano - Albert LanePrice: Moderate• Italian• Brisbane CBD•4.2
- JJo-AnneBrisbane •1 review5.0Dined on Apr 8, 2025We had a lovely evening, shared a pizza and a lasagne and a tiramisu, 2 mocktails and all was great. Woodfired pizza, had a lovely smoked flavour. The lasagne was made with fresh pasta, beef and pork and was delicious. And we only had enough room to share one dessert so we had a Tiramisu and it was good, light and tasty. Would recommend if you are looking for a nice Italian restaurant with friendly staff and good food this is your place.More infoCorbett & Claude - Elizabeth StPrice: Moderate• Italian• Brisbane CBD•4.3
