Ave Cucina - Carindale

Drinks were okay but staff not very attentive. My girlfriend and I had waited 40 minutes for breakfast before I decided I would go and ask how much longer should we expect to wait only to find out our order hadn't been placed despite it being paid for. Now I understand that I went up to the counter and ordered/paid at the same time in a table service cafe, however that doesn't excuse the staff for not even approaching our table and asking if we were waiting on anything else, despite delivering our drinks AND serving the table next to us. It's also not a good look for the staff to be standing around talking about "how it hasn't been busy today" when there's no more than 5 tables and they have only half-finished serving one of them. Drinks were okay, food I can't even comment on and service was below poor. Won't be back, definitely won't be recommending to anyone.

Delicious food, amazing coffee and outstanding service - very busy on weekends but quality and service does not falter. Lovely suburban spot.

I used to really like Ave Cucina, but the last few times have been a little disappointing, just average brunch and the coffee is nothing special, its such a shame as it used to have amazing food and always be really busy with a great atmosphere, it was pretty much empty when I went on the weekend. Hopefully they can turn it back around!

Outstanding atmosphere, great service, excellent food. Menu change for summer was a great choice. We've been here a few times and loved it every time. Do yourself a favour and come enjoy Ave Cucina.

Had Fathers Day brunch here today and loved it. Despite being extremely busy the quality and presentation of the meals were great and the macchiato was excellent. Staff were efficient, helpful and friendly. A new find for me and can't wait to return.
