My wife and I have been going to Il Viale for a number of years now; it is our favourite Italian restaurant. Yesterday we hosted for the second time a luncheon function for the Brisbane Food and Wine Club. 41 attended for a 3 course lunch. It was superb! Probably the best function we have had in years. The food was excellent. Starting with a very generous antipasto and a choice of 3 mains, scaloppine, fish of the day and Il Cartoccio (a shell fish dish) and followed up with Paolo’s tiramisu. The menu could not have been bettered or faulted. Getting hot dishes to 41 people all at the same time is a challenge for any chef. Paolo rose to the occasion as we would have expected. Treat yourself, you won’t be disappointed.
Beautiful Italian food cooked and served by beautiful Italian people. A favourite for lunch and nothing is too hard. Ask for what you feel like. The marinara linguine is authenticity and no corners are cut. Lovely thank you
Tucked away between a veterinary practice and pool shop in suburban Brisbane youll find one of Brisbanes best kept secrets Il Viale Ristorante Italiano.Meaning the avenue in Italian, Il Viale sits fittingly on Honour Avenue in Graceville and serves up delicious traditional dishes lovingly prepared by chef/owner Paolo Pinci.The chefs daily specials board is nearly as long as the menu itself and always has two or three dishes that tempt me, but without fail I always end up ordering the Ravioli Giallorosso, which I rate as one of Brisbanes top five Italian dishes.On this most recent occasion, my good friend and I both enjoy the Ravioli Giallorosso and we shared the Bruschetta al Pomodoro, the Funghi Saltati and the Spinaci.The Ravioli Giallorosso ($26.00) are filled with ricotta cheese and spinach and finished with a tomato and cream sauce. These handmade pillows of perfection never disappoint and rate 4.5-5.0 out of 5.The Bruschetta al Pomodoro ($10.50) begins with Pane Della Casa, which is piled high with fresh diced tomato, seasoned with extra virgin olive oil, basil, garlic and salt. This was a delightful dish and there was more than enough to share. The Bruschetta rated 4.0 out of 5.The Funghi Saltati ($9.50) are mushrooms, sauted in olive oil, garlic and parsley, while the Spinaci ($9.50) is baby spinach sauted in olive oil, garlic and lemon. Both make wonderful accompaniments to the Ravioli.Il Viale do a thriving dinner business, but over six lunches in recent years I have never seen them with more than three or four tables occupied during lunch service. I assure you that if Il Viale were located in the CBD or at South Bank they would have queues out the door waiting to feast on their delicious homemade pastas. I highly recommend Il Viale well done, Chef Pinci!*****July 2016Rated 4.0 out of 5Good Italian in the heart of Graceville. I’ve been to Il Viale four times and have always enjoyed myself. The waitstaff is friendly and accommodating. The specials board is ridiculously long (they really should print it and hand a paper copy to the table), but the food is very good. My personal favorite is the spinach and ricotta ravioli in cream sauce. I order a side of spinach and add this to the dish as well. The Penne Pomodoro and Caprese are both very nice. Lots of options for vegetarians and carnivores, so this is an easy choice when we are trying to keep peace.NOTE: We turned some friends onto Il Viale a few weeks ago and they loved it. They went three times in two weeks!
Gnocchi and ribs – made in heaven and melts in your mouth. Book a table to avoided disappointment because it is definitely a local favourite. Portions are big, so come hungry! Not the cheapest but won’t break the bank either.
Friendly staff and a cosy atmosphere. BYO wine. Food was quite nice but nothing exceptional. Probably wouldn’t rush to go back but a pleasant evening.
Nice causal Italian restaurant with friendly staff. The pasta was nice; not overly powerful flavours like some Italian restaurants. Specials menu board had just as many items to choose from as the main menu. Would come back for dine in or takeaway but is a little expensive. Serving sizes are decent as well.
Very average Italian – the overpriced wine was probably the best part of the experience. Ordered the arancini balls and bruschetta as an entree and after having eaten that decided not to order mains
