Warm greeting as we had no booking but fitted us in straight away. Great menu lots of traditional Italian offerings just wish I had chosen better. I ordered Calamari and found it too peppery which was disappointing. My friend ordered the Lamb fillets which was cooked to perfection. Was disappointed that the specials werent read out to us as we didnt see them til after we received our food and I would have chosen the pork belly which was on the special menu as its my favourite meal. Was very noisy as quite busy and lots of people had to shout to be heard by my friend. But overall would definitely go there again, took away a dessert as on a time limit and both were delicious.

Approximate cost: $30

La Vela is a large, Italian family restaurant. The menu is huge and there is so much choice. The seafood is lovely, fresh and always worth ordering. The pasta is good too and I love the Arancini balls. BYO and licenced. Friendly staff and plenty of parking.

Approximate cost: $28

This is a great little restaurant, but in the three times I have been here, they have mixed up my order every time! Once I get the correct dish it always tastes amazing. Most recently I ordered the chicken and bacon gnocchi with pink sauce and it was delicious. The staff are very nice and the atmosphere is quite homely.

The food here is spectacular. The decor is average and it is pricey but it's still a really good restaurant. We saw Rick Ardon here (the news presenter) so the quality of the food is probably quite consistent to.
