Fratellini - Noosaville

My wife and I had lunch. We chose the calamari, antipasto for 2 and a garlic pizza.. the food was great , staff were friendly ... the only negative was the seating was a bit tight overall it was a great experience

We dined at 12:30pm on a Monday in the school holiday period. There were tables available and we were seated immediately. The seating was comfortable and there were different newspapers available. The decor was a tasteful blend of classic and funky. We were served immediately. The wine and drinks menu was interesting and extensive. We had beef cheeks, arancini, seafood pasta, a frats pizza and a Sicilian pizza. We waited about 25 minutes for our food, which was not unreasonable. It arrived hot and well cooked. All of the dishes were of high standard, but the beef cheeks and the arancini deserve special mention for the exquisite taste. The staff were friendly and polite. We will be back.

Our French waitress was lovely, and 2 out of 3 of our meals were nice but they completely ruined the gluten free pasta dish. The pasta was over cooked and the bolognaise sauce was watery. It was easy to compare as we had a normal bolognaise and a GF bolognaise dish. The GF dish was not edible. The 15% surcharge for the holiday period was ridiculous. The day we dined wasn’t a public holiday. The prices are over the top for mediocre food. No apology or offer of a discount for the terrible GF food but they offered to package it up so we could take it home. Needless to say we won’t be going back and if you are GF, don’t bother you will spend a fortune and will leave hungry.

We walked to this restaurant from our accommodation at Sunshine Beach and were thrilled with the service and food. During our 2 week stay, we had breakfast there pretty much every second day along with with many evening meals as well. Always served with a smile, and excellent quality food. Great coffee and cake/muffins as well. It is a cozy restaurant with gentle music in the background. Very enjoyable experience and we will be sure to return on our next trip back up there. Many thanks from a couple of Novocastrians on holidays for the winter.

Great pizza! We stopped for an early lunch and enjoyed a good chat and really excellent pizzas. Just the basic margarita and the carne ones were superb!
