1889 Enoteca

We came as a large group of 10 for my father’s birthday lunch and had an excellent time! Amazing food, Italian wine selection and friendly service to top it all off. The restaurant was busy but the staff handled it flawlessly. The bugs, fish and pastas were all done to perfection and the veal starter was a delicious surprise (recommended by our server and we’re glad we got it)! Goes without saying the tiramisu is a must have (the chocolate sauce on the bottom was a nice surprise).

We had one of the best dinners of our lives here. The food was exceptional. The raw food was fresh, delicious and presented perfectly. The cooked food was exquisite, well balanced and cooked to perfection. The service was outstanding. Our waiter, Filippo looked after our every need and even the other waiters treated us like we were their primary responsibility. The wine list is extensive and caters to every taste. The atmosphere is extraordinary - we felt like we were in Italy. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone in Brisbane.

Genuinely one of the most luxurious dining experiences I’ve had in Brisbane. The staff, the venue and the drinks all sensational. But omg, the food. I’m not even a huge pasta lover, but it was my partner’s birthday and he LOVES pasta. Needless to say he was absolutely delighted. We were so impressed. We also loved that it appears to be one of the very few venues that allows you to chat to you dinner date and not scream over music. Perfection.

We came here for our belated Valentine’s Day celebration and we were certainly not disappointed. The service was immaculate and the gnocchi was by far the best gnocchi we’ve had in our lives and the tiramisu was an absolute hit too! We will definitely be back.

Place is nice. The walls are all adjourned with rows and rows of wines. If you like a large selection of wines, this is defintely the place to go.

Aside from the wines, my party of 6 found the food here to be fantastic, every last bit on every plate with finished up including the sauces. I recommend the risotto and the bugs.

All the pasta are fresh and handmade. Very good sand crab linguine and carbonara! Very good risotto as well! The strawberry ice cream cake, panna cotta and tiramisu were nice. Personal favorite would be the strawberry ice cream and tiramisu for coffee lovers.

Excellent service and very good ambience! Definitely must try for Italian cuisine and pasta lovers.

So glad we finally tried this restaurant. The atmosphere accompanied by the waiters made us feel like we were back in Italy. Luigi, your service was outstanding honestly some of the best service we have ever had. All of the other waiters were equally as helpful, and kind. The food was incredible, our mains of Pappardelle & Carbonara were delicious and the dessert, Panacotta, was perfect to finish off with. See you again soon.

Came to Enoteca from Melbourne for my birthday. We ordered the in fig salad as an appetiser. The flavours were blended very well and tasted amazing. For mains had the Moreton bay bugs, bucatini and potatoes. The bugs were absolutely amazing and we loved dipping the potatoes in the pesto that the bugs were cooked in. The bugs were tender but still had a bit of bite and were grilled to perfection. We’ll be back for bugs and to try the carbonara and gnocchi on our next trip!

Incredible food, service and atmosphere! We can’t fault Enoteca, will be returning customers for a long time to come. I highly recommend the Cacio e Pepe, phenomenal!

We recently came here for our anniversary, Enoteca has the best Italian food we’ve had in Brisbane, coupled with excellent service. We’re very much looking forward to celebrating our wedding reception in the private dining cellar next year!

The service was excellent. The staff were very friendly and were knowledgeable about wine pairings for dishes and were able to give great recommendations on the dishes available. This is the second time that we have come, and would come again on a special occasion.

Food wise:
The pasta is made in-house and is very nice.

This time we had the Moreton Bay bugs, which were very nice. They did not come with bread, which would be nice in an Italian restaurant. When we asked for it, the bread was very nice too.

I went here for the first time and was very impressed. The food was delicious and the service was great. They even surprised me with a beautiful birthday treat for dessert. Highly recommend and will definitely be back! The wine list was also very impressive.

The food and drink were absolutely superb, specifically my espresso martini was the best I've ever had and the Farinata was so flavoursome (drool) ...

However left wishing my partner and i sat inside as outside unfortunately smelled like urine which is not the restaurants fault.

We were made welcome the moment we walked in to 1889 Enoteca. Exceptionally friendly service and great to have so much wine knowledge available, especially from Alessio.
The food was very tasty, delivered quickly and presented well. Definitely Nonna sized portions too! Highly recommend the Farinata!
We’ll definitely be back!

Enoteca is a special experience. The setting is old worldly. The service is friendly. And the food is next level great! We had a beautiful evening. Shout out to Marta, newly arrived from Italy, who made us feel so welcome.

Well executed dishes and amazing wine list that focuses on Italian wines. Staff were attentive and. Already planning next visit.

Fine casual dining Italian restaurant that left me thoroughly impressed.

From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the warm and inviting atmosphere of the restaurant. The decor was tasteful and modern, with a touch of old-world charm that perfectly complemented the menu.

Speaking of the menu, the food was absolutely delicious. Every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. We started with the zucchini flowers and goat cheese. For my main course, I had the tagliatelle with sand crab, which was one of the best pasta dishes I have had in a while. The portions were generous without being overwhelming, and I left feeling fully satisfied.

But it wasn't just the food that made my dining experience at 1889 Enoteca so memorable. The service was exceptional from start to finish. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu and offered great recommendations, and every member of the staff we interacted with was friendly and attentive.

Overall, I can't recommend 1889 Enoteca highly enough. If you're looking for a delicious Italian meal in a cozy and inviting atmosphere, this is the place to go. Five stars all around!

Best Italian restaurant! Perfect service and food. It was nice experience.

I recently dined at Enoteca in Brisbane and must say it was a fantastic experience. From the moment we came through the front door, we were greeted with friendly, happy, professional, enthusiastic staff and this attitude continued for the entire evening. The food was absolutely fantastic, with that wonderful clean flavour so often associated with great Italian food. I could not recommend Entoteca enough. Brilliant staff, delicious food, lovely private seating arrangements, so you can hear your friends and feel like you are dining privately. If I could give more than 5 stars I would! Christine

Exceptional service today by all staff 👍 From entering to leaving could not fault the staff that were on today 10/12/22 lunch. Food was amazing!! Oysters were so good we got seconds! Sandcrab pasta, gnocchi and t-bone was also very delicious! 110% will return!
