S25°16'44.4" E152°50'22.4" Next to the WetSide Water Park on Charlton Esplanade in Pialba, Harvey Bay and in the same building as a fish & chips shop, this Italian restaurant is a serious eatery in Pialba. For ordinary tasteless American pizzas, head south 3 blocks. Otherwise, read on. Looking at the menu, this restaurant tries to get close to the real Italian cuisine, with some very interesting dishes. The wine list is impressive. You can order take-away pizzas too. In September 2018, we ordered as starters bruschetta (AU$9), calamari (AU$9), stuffed truffled mushrooms (AU$12). Although we can debate taste, texture and different flavours, these starters were fresh, well prepared and tasty. Strange to see straight calamari, not calamari rings. For the main courses, we ordered pesto chicken fettuccine (AU$20), truffle mushroom risotto (AU$22), Ricardo's Italiano pappardelle (AU$20), Danish feta gnocchi (AU$22) and blue cheese risotto (AU$22). Good risotto takes 30 minutes slow cooking and adding stock to the risotto rice. After 15 minutes, the risotto was acceptable. The combination of blue cheese and risotto was very unbalanced in taste. Sensitive risotto with loud shouting blue cheese should be avoided. Not the best combination. The fettuccine and pappardelle dishes were really good, as was the gnocchi dish. These dishes excited our taste buds. The service was quick, personal and easy-going. With this great menu, clients are satisfied customers. Fine dishes in taste, texture and flavour should not be expensive. Ricardo's makes this all too clear. Fine cooking, exciting menu options and good service offer all you need in a country of tasteless fish & chips. Highly recommended as food therapy for the homesick Italians.

Went there for Birthday last week with 10 others we all were very satisfied with the pricing and the food, I had Chicken Satay and Cashews very nice but could have had more Cashews, I asked for them they brought out heaps more. Have gone to this Whale City Asian quite a few times not Complaining the Exact opposite, they have improved over 150% since the first time, and has become better each Visit... Staff are not necessarily Asian but they serve well and are gracious and polite to the Customer. I would recommend a trip to try it out the serving which are generous.

I visit this place nearly every time I'm in the bay. Friendly owners and staff, quick, inexpensive, excellent food and a very diverse menu. Also one of the few places in the bay with vegetarian options. I hail this joint! Dear customer thank you for your time in providing us your feedback great to hear that you enjoyed the meal & service.

Good location but restaurant is attached to a reception centre, so has a weird feel to it. Food was OK but pretty average, as was the service. Much better places to go in Hervey Bay. Good place for a wedding reception but not so much lunch.

This has got be the best kept secret in Hervey Bay? Queensland? The meals we had were a taste sensation and the prices approach being a joke! We chose three small dishes (all $12) and a starter ($8). The ciabatta bread with parmesan gelato and balsamic vinegar was so yummy! Our small plates were coconut king prawns with mango dipping sauce, creamy crabmeat volauvont and New Zealand oysters (4) bloody Mary.Presentation was exquisite and such a blend of tastes! Wow! The chef Carolyn is a genius with food. If you are in Hervey Bay, seek it out on the Esplanade, on front of the Seaside Motel.

This restaurant had some good reviews prior to their extensive renovations so we decided to try them again and see if the food was still as good as before. The scenic outlook over the bay is fabulous but we were very disappointed with the meal portion sizes. Prices were reasonable compared to other like restaurants, about middle of the road prices, until you see the meal portions they serve.I ordered Pork Belly on an Asian slaw.At first I thought they had mistaken my meal for an entree, it was served on a small bread/entree plate. I asked why it didn't come on a proper main meal plate and was told it was correct and not an entree but they could re-plate it on that style plate if I wished. I asked for it to be re-plated.Well I can understand now why they plate it on such small plates. When it came back on a normal main meal plate, it looked ridiculously small. Two tiny pieces of pork belly ( and I do mean tiny, maybe 4cm by 2cm), served on a tiny amount of what they call Asian slaw (maybe 2 pinches of slaw in total), in the middle of this plate. It looked so ridiculously small and out of place . It tasted fine, not fantastic but OK, the Asian slaw was not good at all and honestly I think the entire meal could have been produced for about $5 by buying supermarket ready meals. The evening was a big disappointment, one which won't be repeated. As we drove home we ended up stopping at a fast food outlet and buying food because we were still so hungry.Thank you Montyblue for taking the time to review us.We are very happy that you enjoyed the renovations. We are a little confused as to the response of the waitstaff as the pork belly dish is indeed an entrée therefore designed to ensure you still have room for your main or the other dishes you wish to share with your dining companions.We apologise for the miscommunication at the time. Kind regards

We visited the restaurant again as we were invited with friends. Our Kilpatrick Oysters were watery and lukewarm as were the meals. We didn't want to embarrass our friends so didn't say anything to the waitstaff (who tried very hard on a busy night) but for us, we just feel there are better places in Hervey Bay to eat at.
