Il Locale Rosalie - Brisbane

These guys are a bit of a hidden treasure in Rosalie Mews Outstanding table service and a substantial menu of fantastic Italian cuisine.

Came here with a girlfriend for a meal, has a romantic vibe but is a little too cramped for it to have a proper fancy feel, staff was super polite and

Order take away for the family recently and thought we would give this place a tryWe had few of the types types of pasta and a pizza.

I was introduced to il locale by an Italian friend who knows his Italian food and is a very good Italian cook in his own right. The food here originates from Naples. The chefs and manager are italian - my friend ordered in Italian. The food was excellent... The balance of flavours was perfect.... From the pizza to the gnocchi. The highlight was the gnocchi with truffle sauce, which was like a ravioli... Incredible dumpling like, silky smooth texture of the pasta. They make everything fresh from their breads to the pasta, pizza bases, italian tomato sauces etc... The flavours were so well balanced... Nothing was over powering... Even the salami on the pizza had the right amount chilli - enough to move it beyond a tingle of heat, but not. too hot either - it was just right . We tried the arrancini balls, the crab risotto... (which could have done with more crab meat). It was my Italian friend's fifth time at this restaurant and he commented On the consistency of the quality, freshness and flavours of each if the dishes. The chocolate pudding was excellent as well. This is the best Italian I've had in years. Yes it's simplistic, it's fresh, it's well balanced.... Yes I think this is the best Italian in Brisbane... The standard of this restaurant clearly exceeds the standard of food you'd get at a good cafe that serves good Italian food. Go the incredible "gnocchi" - ravioli.

It is hard to explain the excitement when you walk into Il Locale. You know that you going to get looked after like you were family. The food is impeccable, the wine list is perfectly matches the food. You need to stop reading this and book your table!
