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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I have dined at Aquavue many times on my visits to Hervey Bay. I tried to have breakfast there on my recent trip however I found the music far too loud for first thing in the morning, so decided to go somewhere else. It was a shame because it is a great location.Hi Moira, That is disappointing. If you believe that the music is too loud, we encourage you to speak with one of the friendly staff during your visit. Kind regards, Management

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.
