Alfresco Italain Restaurant, Italian restaurant in Surfers Paradise, Gold Coast City, Australia
Alfresco Italian Restaurant is an Italian restaurant in Surfers Paradise, Gold Coast City, Australia. It has two seating areas: a casual section near the pizza oven and a quieter room at the back of the space.
The Velardo family opened this restaurant in 1992 after moving to the Gold Coast from Naples. In 2009, the business moved to a new spot directly across the street from its original location.
The walls inside are painted with scenes of the Amalfi Coast, giving the dining room a strong Southern Italian feel. These images come from the home region of the founding family and set the tone for the food served here.
The restaurant sits at the corner of Surfers Paradise Boulevard and Hamilton Avenue, making it easy to spot on foot. Takeaway is available for those who prefer to eat elsewhere.
One of the restaurant's best-known pizzas combines pepperoni, prawns, mushrooms, olives, garlic, and chili all on the same base. The pairing of meat and seafood toppings on a single pizza is not something you often find on a standard menu.
