I ordered the slow cooked lamb with broccolini and roast potatoes, it was delicious, like a true home cooked dinner. My husband ordered the pizza Angelo, he loved the thin crispy pizza base and the lamb was tender and the topping full of flavour. The torte for desert - superb! We shared it and ended our beautiful night out with a walk across the river on the footbridge..

Brilliant service, super cosy atmosphere and the most drool-worthy, authentic Italian we have had for a long time in Brisbane. Incredibly accommodating and I could not fault a thing. Home made focaccia to go with our charcuterie was DELICIOUS, super generous pasta servings and I even had a non-alcoholic spritz made that was just like the real thing. Definitely coming back. Do yourself a favour and try COMO! Bravo team 👏

Took the family here for my son’s 21st birthday. Food was amazing! Oysters, sashimi and the prawns were delicious. Great ambience and service. Two piece band playing some jazzy tunes at just the right volume to allow great conversation. Highly recommend!!
