Noosaville / Noosa Heads

About the restaurant

The decor is like a restaurant in NY, Melbourne or Europe and they have added detail with sophistication yet it appears simple and sleek lines with subtle lighting that gives a great atmosphere. There are different areas to sit from the bar to lounge, table seating or a small outdoor area.

Drawing heavily on Italian tradition, Locale Noosa offers a seasonally changing menu using the best in local produce and premium imported ingredients. Surrounded by lush gardens, Locale Noosa sits in a protected corner of Hastings Street just a few steps from the golden sands of Noosa Main Beach. Our seasonal menu features handmade pasta, traditional italian antipasti and desserts alongside an impressive selection of wines, beers and cocktails.

We were given a gift voucher by some friends for Bottarga Restaurant and went with a couple of friends. The restaurant was busy and the atmosphere was vibrant. The service by staff was very efficient and the food and drink service was great. I’d recommend this restaurant for any occasion and found the food good value for money.

About the restaurant

Passion for food and love of all things Italian is what inspired Basil & Vine Café.
The Fargnoli family believe food is central to our Italian way of life and large family meals are customary in our household - Meals are relaxed affairs enjoying each other’s company and the sense of community.
Traditionally Italian dishes are made with simple ingredients that can be made or procured inexpensively such as pasta, bread, cheese, olive oil and tomatoes. Italian cuisine is all about using quality ingredients well and not so much about fancy cooking techniques.

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.
