Fantastic Italian restaurant at Tugun
I never write reviews, but felt compelled after moving to the area a year ago. I just love this place! Fabulous authentic Italian food, lovely friendly staff who always remember you and what you like to eat and easy parking! What more could one ask for? As a family of both vegetarian and meat eaters, we have never been disappointed or stuck for choice with the menu, and the tiramisu is to die for! Home delivered pizza always arrives hot and with a big smile, and is so delicious. If you live in the area you have to try it, if you don't live in the area you have to try it. I promise it will be start of a beautiful relationship.

This was our first experience at this local gem, we came in with a party of 10 on a Friday night. We were warmly greeted by a lovely young waitress who looked after our table for the night. The menu offers something for everyone which can be important when you are out with a larger group. We enjoyed a few breads, an entrée each and then our main all out within the hour. Very happy and have planned to head back for a 50th birthday with an even larger group. 10/10

Great food (the pizzas in particular). Shame the menu no longer displays though.
