I stopped by Grimaldi's after I heard about new ownership as of last year…read more My friends and I were greeted and seated immediately. Menus and water were brought right over. I was already starting to know, I was in for a good meal. (Later I found out I was wrong, because I had an outstanding meal! ) I tasted all of the meals on the table and they were all sensational. See pics. The service was impeccable. Very attentive and extremely knowledgeable about each dish I asked about. The desserts were to die for. (I ate them too quickly for pics.) My hips will thank them later. I walked past the kitchen on my way out to say thank you to the chef but all I could find back there was a young lady who is young enough to be my daughter. Wow! The chef is young and beautiful and somehow creates these most incredible dishes. She really is a talent. And, she's co-owner. I love that! I urge you to go check this restaurant out. Family owned and operated, each meal is made from only the freshest ingredients and served with a huge smile and a warm, "enjoy!". Prices are reasonable so no need to wait for that special occasion. Although, I know you'll still want to celebrate your special days there. Located right below the theaters, you can make an evening out of it with a movie and a dinner. They are open Tues -Sun. Cheers to you Grimaldi's for raising the bar and giving diners and amazing culinary experience.

Stationed right next to the Trak Cinema, Grimaldi's makes for a great place to grab a coffee or a…read moremeal before or after viewing a film. Even if you're not there for a night at the movies, this little café really impresses. Though I'm not crazy about its location, right in front of a busy, noisy main road, the café has a spacious and comfortable outdoor area. I've taken a book to this place once or twice and have had a comfortable read whilst seated outside. The interior is well decorated and has warm, earthy tones to compliment the establishment's Italian roots. The menu features many of the classic Italian pizza and pasta selections, as well as creative renditions of other popular main courses. No matter what you go with, you're bound not to be disappointed with your choice. The staff is incredibly friendly and makes you feel very welcome from the moment you take a seat. Good food, great coffee and excellent customer service - Grimaldi's ticks all the boxes.

The real standout was the service, absolutely outstanding. The staff were attentive, welcoming, and genuinely made the experience memorable. Great service can make all the difference, and this place certainly delivered.

There isn't an option for a rating of 3.5 so it's been rounded up because it's not as bad as a 3…read more The place itself is a little bit "cosy" for my liking, the booth seats you literally feel every single movement of the group behind you, and if you are sat 3 to a side it's VERY squishy. On to the food... It's pretty good, the pizza is the only way to go here, I found the pasta pretty average myself, but the pizzas were very good. (Not best in the world like advertised, but very nice) Service was attentive and friendly enough. Price wise it's a little expensive for what you get, I won't be rushing back myself but was a good night.

It definitely is nice and reasonably consistent. Think Amalfi but a little more refined yet still a casual setting. This time the quail was great, the seafood marinara (not the frozen Thailand marinara mix most Cafes serve) was also great as were the vegetables and wine.

So, I recommended it for a big friend gathering on a warm Friday night . I have to say - the food was delicious and the service was great. It was a good place to have a big group of people catching up, but I have to agree with the others - the ambiance is somewhat lacking. It was lucky that it was a warm weekend night and there were lots of people in the restaurant, which helped the atmosphere greatly, but the restaurant is essentially one giant room with lots and lots and lots of.... white. The wood oven is still visible in the back, which is a good thing, but it does need some colour and character. However, I really enjoyed the food and the wine and would recommend it for a tasty meal!

Get a lovely wine pairing and sit back and relax. The waiter and the owner were funny and sooooo inviting! Very professional and honestly the most inviting experience I've ever had. It's bit noisy around 12pm-1pm, if you want to have a conversation with your companion at a normal volume, you might consider another time. It will be a place I come back to time and time again thanks to whole team. Can't say about great things about this place. PS. Must try eggplants!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chianti seems to tick all the boxes for all occasions…read more Regardless of the circumstances - breakfast/lunch/dinner, big/small group, eat inside/outside - or what you decide to eat it is consistently great. When you combine great food with great service the end result will always be a great restaurant which is what Chianti is. The service is exquisite, Maria (the worlds best maître d) will make you feel like you are a treasured guest in her own home rather than just another diner in her restaurant. I have no idea if she actually knows who I am but it always feels like she does which is good enough for my ego. Chianti also doesn't have that pretentious feel that some other fine dining restaurants have. The hardest task at any restaurant is to decide what to eat. One would think that given every meal I've ever tasted from Chianti I have loved it would be easier to pick now. Unfortunately not the case, I still end up obsessing over the menu debating if I go with a trusted favourite or branch out into the unknown. If its your first visit to Chianti then I'll help you out, you have to order the gnocchi; served any which way are sure to be AMAZING. I've often heard a rumor that an old man from London makes the gnocchi and that is his only job.. all day every day he makes gnocchi. I've never bothered to verify if this is fact or fiction but regardless they are the best gnocchi ever. It is their light pillowy texture that makes you feel like you have arrived on Cloud 9. Visit Chianti and you will not be disappointed, I swear on the gnocchi!

One of my favourite restaurants in Adelaide. It's loud, busy and unpretentious…read more Quite possibly the best pasta I've had out of Italy. Their 'Amalfi' pasta is extremely addictive, egg ribbon pasta with mushrooms, pancetta in a thick chilli cream sauce. A very filling dish, a favour and texture that keeps me coming back for more. I generally stick to their entree serves, as the main pasta dishes are enough to feel a small country. Either way, bring your appetite! Maybe not the best place for a quiet evening as it does get quite noisy inside, but I think it's what makes the atmosphere so enjoyable. Make sure you always have a booking if dining on a Friday or Saturday night, as its consistently busy all year round. Call some friends, make a booking.....enjoy!

The waitresses are lovely but green as, but who cares with this guy cooking! Brand new cute traditional Italian. This is a proper little authentic Italian restaurant, not a low grade Italian Cafe like most on the Parade. Other than Ambrosini's this is the only other one in the area and as Ambrosini's is Northern Italian I prefer this place (they do dishes from all over Italy). OK, the photo of the 'Nonna' in the marketing is dressed in an Eastern European outfit and I'm pretty sure the chef wasn't Italian (stop press, he's half Italian) but he was sure trained in Italy as this place is like being in Italy and everything is made from scratch not out of a tin like the cafes on the parade. Beware in winter, kitchen isn't ventilated so when you walk out you smell of amazing food! (In spring the doors open) . They now have a license but you can byo $5 per person. The wine by the glass was good. Great flounder, very nice home made pasta, excellent calamari and finely prepared vegetables.

Our group shared three…read morestarters: brushetta (5 pcs.) was very good due to the quality and quantity of the freshest ingredients. It was served on crisp crusty bread that wasn't the least bit soggy. Next came the roasted capsicum and mozzarella which was prepared with the right amounts of olive oil and balsamic vinegar - neither overpowered the other, but instead did as intended and complemented. Again, a generous serve. The very best was saved for last! Portobello mushrooms with oooey, gooey cheese!! It was tender, generous, and ah-maz-ing!!! I could have eaten it as my main. Oh yum!! My main of pan seared grouper was a chef's special, it was topped with tomato, spices, and a wonderful white wine and butter sauce. It came with a side of pasta topped with marinara - oh, wow, so tasty!! My friends' enjoyed their mains as well. One had Chicken alla Nonna - chicken breast topped with sautéed eggplant, and copious amounts of melted cheese) it came with a fresh dinner salad, another had the stuffed flounder (spinach) it, too, was so tender and fresh it literally melted in the mouth! Finally we celebrated our discovery with a unique take on tiramisu - thin layers of fresh cake, drizzled with coffee liqueur, fresh cream and beautifully presented. Don't walk, run to this little hidden restaurant on Margaret just off of the Parade.
