Amazing experience tonight at Tayta Nikkei once again. This place never disappoints. Food is very unique and makes it hard to eat out elsewhere as the flavours are like an explosion of goodness. Top notch service and Pisco Sours made properly, just like in Peru. Highly recommend.

About the restaurant

The Gold Coast’s best boutique wine bar!

We are all about conversation, funky beats, tasty eats and even better wine. Finally, a place to enjoy a good time, any night of the week. There is one thing we might keep from you though and that’s how to get in, you’ll have to book to find out.

La Bella Cellar has been recommended to me countless times over the years. It's a very intimate dining experience, if you've ever been to Gemillini the setup is quite similar. Early seatings are very quiet which I enjoyed. The wine list is great and the staff are able to make good recommendations, Charlie was even kind enough to try a new wine on me which I loved!! If you're dining alone or in pairs 3-4 plates is great! The cauliflower, steak tartare and croquettes are amazing, I struggled to pick a favourite. Plenty of veg options for those interested.

About the restaurant

Arrived from Rome in 2014, the Mancini family decided to change their lives and embark on a new and exciting adventure in Australia. After several experiences as Chefs in Italy and also in Australia, Valentina and Otello decide in 2019 to return on the market with a singular hospitality concept that had already been successful in Rome since 2010 . Radici Pasta House, in Italian language “Radici” means roots indicating the intention to offer a cuisine deeply rooted in Italian food culture with a modern accent and an extreme attention to the overall experience. Head Chef Marco Minore, who also joined Radici Pasta House in 2019, with his menu has contributed to giving life to this project which, in addition to the particular chef table seats around the bar, represents something unique in Gold Coast and beyond.

Service was good and food enjoyed by all our group Only minor problem was the initial booking process, could not update numbers attending on line and when speaking to staff on phone booking time was mistakenly changed by employee. Our group really enjoyed the food and would recommend this restaurant.

Outstanding experience, and the food is the centre-piece to the all-around fantastic evening out. The knowledgeable staff, the detail in the design of the food, the chef's attention to perfection and the atmosphere are well worth the price you pay.
