We have been eating this out of this world pasta at restaurants around Hervey Bay that they supply, can not wait to see what they do with their own venue.

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.

So many inviting choices. Pastries, tiramisu, affogato (the best), slices and delicious cakes to mention a few. The staff are excellent. They make amazing flavours of creamy gelatos and sorbets (dairy free). As locals, we often drive down after dinner for a Santini Gelateria dessert. Love this place!

Wood fired pizza!!!! Pasta and entree Gelato and cake!,
Reviewed By mlang6
The pizzas are very small, but still big enough for one person. But donât keep your hopes up for any leftovers to takeaway.Pizzas were nicely dressed, but completely plain, no salt, no pepper no spices whatsoever. So if you are after a neutral pizza which you can dress up for your own taste, go for it .

Took my cousin her 7yr old and a family friend there for dinner. Is popular so if planning to go for dinner recommend you book. Meals are predominately pasta with some other Italian cuisine. The desert bar sits separately in the next door shop with walk through so customers in restraunt can walk through and choose from cabinets then order in Restraunt. If u are interested in gelate or just a dessert you can just rock up to shop next door and order. Well worth a visit if only for dessert.
