What's your point of difference:
At Firma Italian, we pride ourselves on offering an authentic Italian dining experience that truly sets us apart. Our Chef Alba Rizzo, hailing from Italy, brings a deep passion for crafting traditional Italian dishes with a modern flair, using only the finest ingredients and recipes handed down from generations before her. We also personally flew to Italy to hand-select an exclusive collection of Italian wines, ensuring our guests enjoy a meticulously curated experience that perfectly complements our menu with wines that cannot be found anywhere else in Australia.
Our venue is not just a restaurant; it’s an award-winning destination that exudes elegance and sophistication, reflecting the high standards we uphold in everything we do. One of our standout offerings is the W Black T-bone steak, an extraordinary cut that has recently been crowned Australia’s best beef. Firma Italian is the only restaurant in Queensland where you can savour this exquisite steak, making it a must-try for our guests.
To add a touch of theatricality and indulgence to your dining experience, we also feature a tiramisu trolley. Our skilled staff will handcraft this classic dessert right at your table, allowing you to enjoy the freshest and most delightful tiramisu you’ve ever tasted. This combination of authenticity, exclusivity and exceptional service truly makes Firma Italian a standout dining experience in Queensland and Brisbane.
What is a fun fact that not many people know about the restaurant?
Something few people know about Firma Italian is that we handmake all our pasta and bread fresh each day using traditional equipment shipped directly from Italy. This dedication to authenticity ensures that every dish we serve has the true taste and texture of Italian cuisine, offering our guests a genuinely unique and unforgettable dining experience.
