We couldn't finish it and we tried really hard. Thank God the man serving us was kind enough to stop me from ordering an entrée dish, he reassured me that I would have more than enough to eat and I was wise to I listen to him. So basically unless you want to take away your food at the end of your meal, this giant seafood platter is more than enough for two people without anything else. The service was great too, very attentive even though they can get quite busy later in the night. I would recommend going there early, we were there around 6pm and our food came out really fast. Overall really liked it I would definitely come here again if I'm in the area.

This is a fabulous Italian restaurant hidden off the main restaurant beaten track in Noosaville…read more Lots of Italian accented english spoken (the Owner is Milan Italian by birth) which is always a great sign, and the Staff are very friendly. Access to the Restaurant is via the same parking area for the Noosa Yacht and Rowing Club. It is beside the Noosa River and definitely worth the hunt. If you can, ask for a table by the river. Optically You will be sitting almost on the water and if you are there for lunch, there will be the pleasure of watching small pleasure boats go by. If you are there at night, the outside trees are lit up with 'fairy lights' and the reflections of those and the water are equally enchanting. The Menu was very interesting, authentically Italian and features house made pasta. The Restaurant is fully licensed with no BYO. Wine list was also approved of by my wine knowledgable german husband. Again there were four of us at dinner that night. The food was simply prepared with excellent fresh ingredients. For example, the Chef was not happy with the Burrata cheese delivered to him that day, so with my permission, substituted the Mozzarella on my Burrata E Insalata Estiva. It still worked very well with the rest of the dish and was delicious. The two men had the Polipo in Insalata and it was a big hit. It certainly looked very appetising...I liked that it the octopus tentacle was served "coiled" on top of smaller pieces of Octopus and warm potato salad on the plate..and it was finished off with kalamata olives, caper berriesand beautifully decorated with fresh herbs and flowers...I personally have never seen that coiled presentation before and it looked wonderful. The other Entree was the Trota Marinata al Tea. The Petuna ocean trout had been 'cerviched' in the citrus and tea marinade and was also pronounced delicious. Lots of appreciative noises made all round. Chosen as Main courses were 2 times the Fettuccine allo Scoglio based on house made pasta with generous seafood in a reduced Napoli sauce, one time the Tortelloni de Zucca which I had and really enjoyed. The texture of the pumpkin puree was perfect and the pumpkin used by Chef was nutty , sweet and beautifully seasoned. Again a very generous serving of 8 pieces and i ended up taking what i could not finish that night home with me. Sadly, my husband could not say the same about his Quadrati Neri al Granchio. It was a very small serving ,more like a antipasti sizing but charged at what we considered a Main course price and he was left feeling , as the Australians say, 'short changed' and hungry. So on to the 3 times Dolce! The Zabaglione Pannacotta , the Crostata Al Cioccolato and my Semi Freddo all Frutta were again very prettily served with flowers to garnish. I did n t fancy the marinated Pineapple carpaccio on mine and Chef kindly substituted Lychees which also complemented the Semi freddo. Both the Mango and the Coconut shone through, the short bread base was nutty and crisp and it was truly scrumptious! Like the Zabaglione, I also liked the presentation on rustic pottery plates. We eat with our eyes too and beautiful presentation was a constant throughout the whole meal. This is an elegant and sophisticated restaurant in seaside Noosa and is to be commended. I can see why many Brides choose this as their Wedding Reception venue.

The Menu is modern Australian featuring the very freshest of local vegetables and ingredients and the fish is particular is wonderful. There were three of us there for lunch on a beautiful day...The skies were blue, not too hot. The Noosa River was sparkling and we were spoiled for choice from a big menu offering. The Staff were very friendly and obliging re my food allergies and we had a perfect lunch. For those of you who are are Gluten Free, the Chef will accomodate you! Many thanks and hats off to Philip and his team!! I was delighted by the fact that all the Mains were served with enough vegetables or salads so you did not have to order side dishes. You could, but it was not necessary. And Yes, I am criticising here many Noosa restaurants who seem to think it is ok to charge big prices for a piece of protein sitting lonely on a plate with just a garnish of a 'green' herb, necessitating you having to order at least one to two 'sides' of green vegetable/potato or chips at an additional $8 to 10 a bowl!

The platter is huge, with oysters (probably the best item), clams, mussels, Moreton Bay Scallops, calamari with halloumi (probably the best non-fried calamari I've ever had), prawns (huge and very tasty), shoestring potatoes and a few other things that I don't remember but certainly enjoyed. Also, given their Tasmanian roots, some of the seafood is unique to La Vida rather than what you see at the other restaurants. This platter is definitely worth one of your evenings in Noosa.

Bugs. Moreton Bay or Balmain. Shovel Nosed Lobsters. The family Scyllaridae…read more I have loved these critters for ever. Up at Noosa Moreton Bay Bugs are a joy to behold, if you can find somewhere that be holdin' them. Problem is most places want to show off with my little guys and put them in a ravioli or turn them into some kind of foam or do something weird with them so that they aren't bugs any more. Not this place. It used to be called Lindonis I think - thats probably why I am the first to review it. Fact is its been here for twenty years, but for my 200th review I am happy to declare this place serves the best bugs this side of a dirty Chinese kitchen. BBQ'd with garlic and dill butter. Thats all. And eight, yep eight of the little bottom feeders! It takes very good chef to know that the produce is the star and not the cook. I remember an old mate once told me that in French cuisine the chef is the star and in Italian the food is the star. Here the bugs are the stars. We shared a plate of crumbed calarmari and a plate of veggies, which, because this place is classy, was called a 'stack'. The calarmari was sensational, even though it looked like the sort of meal you'd get at a suburban Pizza joint. I asked why they were so good and the owner told me they were fresh caught, marinated in kiwi fruit for just long enough to tenderise them but not so long as to cook them and that the crumb was a special Japanese technique known only to direct descendants of the Samurai Emperor Bugsansei. And I believe her. Left my phone at home 'cos up here you eat in boardies - your good ones for upmarket places and your old faves for the other places. Keeno has some photos which the kids may be able to upload to this review. I shouldn't even try or I will break something.

Exploring, & popping in for lunch drawn to its gorgeous upscale fit-out. Clean lines, Lots of dark wood, incandescent lighting, ceiling fans, retractable ceiling, and prominent surrounding plants and rock face. Ambience is relaxed, a nice way to have lunch. Service is excellent. Friendly, and ever-present, without being overbearing. Lunch Menu is divided into share plates ("Cicchetti"), Mains ("Pranzo"), as well as Salads & Pizza. Cicchetti & Pranzo prices ranged from $8-23, and $18 - $38 respectively. Start with some amazing sweet potato & pumpkin Gnocchi ($8), with buffalo ricotta, rosemary & sage cream. Unique & divine, available only at lunch. Follow it up with prosciutto & sage wrapped scallops with lemon parsley oil ($8). Another top-notch starter. Continue the gourmet experience with a Filetto di pesce. Snapper with Sicilian green olives, crispy kipfler potatoes, artichoke, white wine & saffron brodetto. Round off with some organic Acquerello Carnaroli saffron risotto, Moreton bay bug, & Gympie baby zucchini. Both mains, are "Wow"! But wait, there's more. If you have room for dessert, go straight to the heavens with the Bombolini. A hazelnut chocolate crème patissiere centred Italian doughnut, praline, & vanilla bean gelato. Add some Valrhona Chocolate fondant, cherry coulis heart, with Saffron gelato, & you have just completed one extraordinary lunch, both in taste & experience. Locale is a must-try if you want to treat yourself, to modern & upscale Italian cuisine. Definitely one of Noosa's gems on Hastings St. Open daily from 12pm.
