There is way too much poor Italian food in the Brisbane area. Bella Cosi is an exception. This fine dining Italian restaurant, or should I say Italian inspired restaurant, is not cheap. You will be paying for entree, main and possibly dessert. But it can be really worth it.

The food is nicely presented without going overboard (most of the time, I have this thing about when the presentation gets in the way of the eating, but mostly they avoid that...mostly).

Overall it is a fine dining experience at a reasonable price.

This was the 3rd time I have eaten here nd the staff food and ambience are unparallelled. Good value for money both of us had 3 courses plus a glass of wine each total Just over $100.

Approximate cost: $18

Went here last night and was very good. The menu choice was plenty and atmosphere was nice. I felt staff could have been a bit more attentive perhaps with drinks but they were very pleasant and I would definitely go back for the food. I had their signature dish (moreton bay bugs) and my friend enjoyed her pasta. Her serve looked small for italian food, but it is "modern cuisine" so well portioned for casual fine-dining. I couldn't finish my meal but I did have a share of the delicious Bruschetta entree and a really nice coffee to start. Definitely wanted to try the raved-about tiramisu but felt it would have been too indulgent for this evening in particular. Decided to save dessert for a follow-up reservation at a later date..

Definately value for money meals with this tucked away in a little side street off Westfields Italian restaurant. Originally discovered on a daily coupon deal, it is under a hotel so receives good business, especially large group catering.

The meals are delicious, worth the price and the coffee is probably one of the best I have ever had, go just to try the coffee!

Did find the service a little limp, felt a little neglected over the group bookings, I would definately recommend booking.

Approximate cost: $28

i like the atmosphere, their staff are helpful and they make lovely cocktails and finger food. Love that they have a vespa at the front, nice touch.

I definitely recommend this place the food is delicious and the service is excellent, they also have a takeaway menu and I really love their tiramisu.
