Vitalia's Italian Restaurant

Best Known For

Gnocchi Neri ai Frutti di Mare: housemade black ink squid potato gnocchi with mussels, calamari, vongole, prawns, baby octopus and Napoli sauce.

Love, passion and creativity are on the menu at Vitalia's Italian Restaurant on Palm Street in Cairns. Alongside authentic pizza and pasta tempters, Vitalia serves up a full vegan selection at this Holloways Beach venue, where tiled floors, vibrant walls and mismatched shabby chic table settings make for leisurely lunches and dinners. With an ethos that cooking for someone is a gift, expect to be taken to Italy with starters like arancini Sicilani – deep-fried rice balls stuffed with beef ragu, provolone cheese and peas. For a memorable main, try a signature Scotch fillet, with rocket salad, cherry tomatoes, shaved Parmesan and balsamic vinegar reduction; or pick up a slice of That's Amore pizza, topped with tomato, mozzarella, mushrooms, zucchini, eggplant, capsicum and salted ricotta.
