Eating at Ricky’s is a consistently wonderful experience in quality of food, service and location. We live in the ACT but Ricky’s is a must do on every holiday. My wife and I rate this as our all time favourite restaurant anywhere in the world. I recommend you visit.

Noosaville

About the restaurant

250 Grammi is a concept born in D&D’s mind many years ago.

The goal was to share with people Italian authenticity with a twist.

No more main meals but a lot of different dishes to be shared, like an Italian Sunday lunch with friends and family

250 Grammi is the weight of the dough ball before its evolution: from a combination of grains and flours through to a long maturation to become an amazing outburst of flavours in the form of a pizza

To compliment all of this, 250 Grammi have sourced a perfectly matching wine list, which proveniences range from Italy to France to Australia & more

Thank you for sharing this experience with us
The 250 Grammi Family.

All bookings will have a 90 minute time limit.
10% Surcharge will be applied on Sundays.
17% surcharge will be applied on public holidays.

Dined today

The food and service was excellent as is the new location. We really enjoyed some of the new additions to the menu and the pizzas are some of the best we’ve had. The only downfall was seating. We did book just the day before so we weren’t expecting the best seating in the house. The restaurant was empty when we arrived and when I enquired about a table at the window, we were told they were all fully booked. We dined for 1 1/2 hours and the three tables directly at the window remained free the entire time as was half the restaurant. It just seemed rather strange that we couldn’t sit there unless these were all no shows. Regardless, we will definitely dine here again and recommend it highly.

Always good on our annual vacation in Noosa. I had the lamb rump and it was delicious. 2 others had the barramundi and they loved it. Our last guest had a vegetarian pasta dish which they thoroughly enjoyed. Just a great dining experience. Service was friendly and attentive.
