Rustichella offers high quality, authentic northern Italian food. The Tagliatelle Emiliana (pork and beef ragu with a dash of cream) was beautifully cooked and so delicious. The Traditional Egg Pannacotta served with fresh fruit coulis was so amazing too. The staff were friendly and attentive. Definitely will return to try more from the menu.

WHAT A TREASURE!!! I have a severe food allergy and called to ask questions about the menu. I spoke with Roberto, and was blown away by his patience and accommodating efforts to assure me I could enjoy dinner safely. We decided to drive there and are so thrilled we did!! What a gorgeous little place!! The food is beautiful, the wine glasses are a thin-stem fans dream, the staff could not be more helpful and pleasant!! We will be back, again and again!! So worth the drive!! 10/10 we’re booked in again for Friday!!

This restaurant has amazing food! Their pasta is incredibly fresh, and the flavours are perfectly balanced. Every dish we had was perfect and delicious! I can’t rave about it enough! And the pannacotta – it was a revelation! Wish I had ordered 3! Will definitely be back again! 🤩🤩

Very flavourful and fresh food. The care taken in cooking and preparing is obvious in each item we ordered. I would say it’s kinda oily but I think that’s normal and authentic.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Extremely chuffed to have a Korean restaurant in Nundah. Food definitely has more of a Mum’s home style combined with street market vendor but absolutely delicious and hearty regardless. Portion sizes are generous and served in good time. Take away but also very casual eat in options but limited table seating.

So much flavour. The Kim Chi Fried Rice with Spicy Chicken was yummy. Well done, next time ill be back for the Kim Chi Stew.

LATE NIGHT FEED 💯
Initially thought the burger looked a bit small, but one bite in—delicioso! Juicy patty cooked to perfection, cheese melted beautifully over the meat, toasted bun, and crisp, fresh salad—so good. The hotdog was decent, and the cheesy fries hit the spot. Solid late-night fix! 💯

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Stumbled upon this burger shop through a random Google search, and it was a great find. It wasn’t crowded on a weekday afternoon. The burger was delicious, and the bun choice was particularly impressive. Prices are reasonable. They only accept card payments, and the staff are nice and friendly. I would definitely recommend this place to others.

Love to promote awesome burger places in Brisbane. I took my family tonight and everyone was super impressed with service and food. My son and I had the Grand burger 🍔 and it was amazing. Also had their fries 🍟 and chicken tenders and they were cooked to perfection. Last but not least they know how to make a thick shake and the Caramel flavour was amazing. Atmosphere was also really nice including the area with all the other restaurants.
Thanks to all staff working tonight you did a great job. See you again very soon.

Fast unobtrusive service. I had a coffee frappe and the smashed avo toast with ricotta cream, cherry tomatoes, and grilled peach slices, plus chorizo – the flavours complemented each other perfectly. Absolutely delicious!

Will definitely be back here again!

Blockhouse is a fabulous hidden gem tucked away in suburbia. Recommended by a family member, our group of three enjoyed an excellent midweek lunch. Service was friendly and efficient. All our meals were generous and delicious. My Portugese chicken dish was outstanding. Blockhouse is a relaxed place to enjoy great menu options for breakfast and lunch. Highly recommended.

Shishir Chaudhary
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
One of the best coffees I’ve had recently. Food was fresh and full of flavour too!



Kamila mendonça
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The place has table options in the dining room and the outside area. I had a great experience. The dishes we ordered were delicious, well presented, refined and flavorful. The staff is friendly. The coffee (mocha and espresso) was tasty, as were the tumeric latte and hot chocolate, which were also very good. I hope to return to try more options. I highly recommend the banana bread, the popcorn chicken, and the rash cakes. The portion sizes are not large, if compared to breakfast dishes at similar establishments, and the price is a little above the range.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Everything we had was delicious and fresh. It was very exciting to taste regional dishes that aren’t very common to find in Australia. I particularly loved the tigelle with the guanciale spread! The pastas were excellent. Can also recommend the light and fluffy crescentine. The homemade almond biscuits and Vin Santo dessert wine were the perfect end to the meal. Service was attentive and friendly, too.

Andrea Martel
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We had lunch at Rustichella and everything was delicious. We had the Burrata on Heirloom Tomatoes, Tomato Bruschetta, Potato Gnocchi with Free Range Chicken Ragù Bianco, Spaghetti Carbonara, Infused Pappardelle with Polleo Beef Ragù, and the Affogato. Dishes were fresh with good portions and service was excellent. Looking forward to going back and trying other dishes.

Belinda Anstey
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The food and service is always fantastic. Can’t fault it. Would highly recommend if you love authentic Italian and pasta. For Entree, we had the Tigelle with Modena Pork Pesto and Crescentine with Prosciutto and Parmesan. I had a special for my Main. I can’t recall the name but it was fantastic. Their Limoncello cocktails were also great. A more expensive option, but absolutely worth it. I’ve seen some reviews saying portions are small, but I disagree. Pasta is very filling so it was enough and I didn’t feel overstuffed 🙂

This spot is fantastic for veg fried rice and chilli momos. The service is commendable, and the atmosphere is excellent. However, the prices are slightly on the higher side compared to other places.

I have been to this place multiple times. The food is amazing and staff are friendly and helpful. Out of all the food I definitely recommend the chicken momo platter, Chow main and fried rice. They also serve drinks including alcoholic drinks.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The best Thai food we’ve had in Brisbane. We enjoyed the Phuket style Fried Rice, Pad See Ew and a Red Curry. The Pad See Ew had that proper wok charred flavour to it and the ingredients in all dishes were fresh and of high quality. You can really tell that the chef takes pride in their cooking. Lychee iced tea was also really nice and refreshing. We’ll be back!

We have been ordering from Siam Sensations for a few years and it has NEVER disappointed. Last night we had the BEST Yellow Curry and Cashew Nut Stirfry. Absolutely delicious! Thank you!

You shouldn’t go there thinking about Korean sushi, but it’s the best in Brisbane! The staff are all friendly, the food comes out quickly, and best of all, it’s a great ice cream restaurant 🥰 They also have gluten free options.

K Bell
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Hands down my favorite sushi train restaurant. dishes are always fresh and they will always make things fresh for you if you ask. wide range of entrees, small sushi rolls, large sushi rolls, a aburi, nigiri, hand rolls, noodle dishes, platters, drinks, and desserts. My go-tos are always the California rolls, the gyoza and anything with fresh salmon. Star for always very, very friendly and helpful and provide great and quick service. sometimes there’s a line but it isn’t too much of a a white until there is availability. ordering through an iPad with pictures so you can see what you get. take away also available. parking is not quite that easy. atmosphere is lively and friendly.

Always good service from staff here! We got two steaks, unfortunately only had pepper sauce or gravy options but the salad that came with had a very tasty dressing. My steak was a little chewy but my partners seem done well. They also have guava cruiser on tap which is random but definitely a thirst quencher. Very prices here. We’d only come down for specials or if we get $ off in the app

Lola Chin
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Great food and service. We had pan fried barramundi and parpadelle marinara with Morten bug. It’s super yummy and we will definitely be back again!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We got the chicken parma and sirloin steak. Both chips and salad and was top notch. About time a salad doesn’t come with raw onion. We loved how it came pickled. The chips both had good crunch and texture. I had the parma and I like to think I’m a parma connoisseur, I will definitely be back for it. I mean the cheese, the chicken wasn’t dry and all round good meal 🤤 The size of it was fantastic too! My partners steak was cooked to exactly how a med rare should be cooked. Had great char flavour and came with bone marrow butter 🤤 we also got the garlic bread and salt and pepper squid to start. Yum yum yum. We will definitely be back. Not sure before the renovations what the establishment looked like, but I definitely think it’s a great feel.

Cases of Number Plate Theft on the Rise

Did you know that number plate theft in Wavell Heights has been on the rise in recent weeks?

In four separate incidents recently, registration plates were pinched from vehicles parked in Allworth Street, Northgate; Sandgate Road, Nundah; Curtin Avenue East, Eagle Farm; and Bryden Street, Windsor.

In one case, the nicked plates were later found attached to an allegedly stolen vehicle in East Brisbane.



Police are urging residents to be vigilant and to take steps to prevent their number plates from being pinched.

Here’s some tips to help you protect your vehicle:

  • Fit anti-theft screws to your number plates. These screws are harder to remove, making it less likely that your plates will be pinched.
  • Park in well-lit areas. This will make it harder for thieves to operate under the cover of darkness.
  • Don’t leave your vehicle unattended for long periods of time. If you have to leave your car, take your number plates with you.
  • Report any suspicious activity to police. If you see someone tampering with a vehicle’s number plates, or if you see a vehicle with obviously pinched plates, report it to police immediately.

By following these tips, you can help protect your vehicle from number plate theft.



Don’t let your number plates become a liability. Take steps today to protect your vehicle from theft.
