Im Asian. (Later you’ll know why I mentioned this) I just arrived Australia and this is my first meal in this beautiful country, and I have to say, quite disappointed ngl. Service part- The moment I walked in the store, the girl welcomed me and asked me to pick wherever I like to sit- that’s nice. But that’s it. I wasn’t told what to do, how to order and stuff. The reason I know how to order is Bcz I checked online first and find this place has good comments and I came! But she didn’t even come and tell me to order through qrcode. Ok never mind. Then, I got some questions with orders so I was trying to ask one of them( there were 3 of them) The terrible part is coming- I raised my hands to indicate I need some assistance, but other 2 ppl r busy and the guy behind the bar counter gave me a vibe that he was pretending that he didn’t see me( this part is not 100% just my feelings) then I waived my hand harder, and he finally saw me! However! He stayed behind the counter while I was distant from him and said,”yes?” I don’t know why he’s not moving his legs… is it like Australia culture or? If it is then I’m sorry I misunderstood it; I just don’t want to shout in front of all other customers about my questions However I still said out my questions(not too loud) cuz apparently he’s not moving but seemed like he can’t hear me clear so he walked to me( finally) But if that’s all, I won’t leave the comment. So my question is if I can switch the type of noodle (it’s not mentioned from the website) But then i don’t know what type of noodle they have ( as mentioned Im Asian, English is not my mother tongue) So I went to the counter to ask but everyone disappeared and only the girl who welcomed me was there. But she’s so busy and she asked me to wait. And then she went to another table to say something to the customers and she came back to me. She apologized to me saying they’re short handed. I asked her how about the guy behind the counter, she said he’s gone. She apologized so yes I’m totally fine with it. But after I finally finished my order, the guy came back! And then I noticed he was serving water to new coming customer and I don’t get any water. And I wonder why… so I asked him for water and he gave it to me. I don’t see the new coming customer asked but he gave it to her automatically. I’m not saying he has bad attitude but it seems like I’m invisible to him? idk well I’m not going to ask if this is true but this restaurant’s staff is giving me this vibe. Maybe he just simply forgot? Maybe he always does that? Idk Food part- tbh not super amazed

We were attracted in by a large meal deal board advertising lunch for $19 with an additional $5 for a drink. As it was Sunday we were told upon ordering that this deal didn’t apply on Sundays! Makes one wonder why they put the board out??? If the deal isn’t on don’t trick people in pretending it is! (yes it says it lower down but still misleading). We waited for quite a while to be seated with my elderly mother. They appeared understaffed with lots of customers and only two wait staff running around frantically. The air con drips on your head/in your drink. We moved tables to escape it! The food was very tasty but one meal arrived a long time before the other meals. You can’t order coffee!! Whoever heard of Italian where you can’t get coffee? The impression we got was that they just wouldn’t want you to stay long enough to drink one! Also no one has time to do barista!! The waiter and waitress were doing their very best and were polite but they had too much to do. Lots of very loud dumping of cutlery in the kitchen as if someone was in a huge rush.. not very conducive to a relaxing meal. Music too loud to converse easily. The food was good but didn’t make up for the overall feeling of ‘hurry up eat and go!’ We came here to avoid the food hall experience but it didn’t really provide much contrast!

The pasta was delicious, we ordered the Alfredo with fettuccine, and the prawn pesto fettuccine. It was creamy, delicious and perfectly seasoned. The pasta came with 2 slices of bread each, and some parmesan grated ontop. The chili oil that is offered at the table was absolutely delicious on the bread. If you were "kind-of" hungry then then this pasta would fill you up, but if you were starving then you'd need a 2nd meal to fill you up. I also ordered the triffle oil pizza, it was just ok. I would never order it again, far too plain and boring. The customer service was excellent. The only issue I noticed throughout the night was that everyone in the restaurant that had ordered pizza was waiting for their meals for a while, which was really annoying because most people came with their partners, so whoever ordered pasta would get that first, and then whoever ordered pizza would get it 10mins later - which defeats the purpose of eating together at a restaurant. Meals should always be served at the same time. The drinks were really nice! We ordered lemon lime bitters and pink lemonade.

Lovely garlic bread and pizzas , speedy service, and friendly waiter. Very quiet when we arrived so not very atmospheric but quality of pizzas was reason we went here. You order off an app code on the table and pay when ur ordering, which seems odd in a sit-down restaurant ! The waiter assisted us as we had no wifi, and he pointed out the happy hour offers, so we got a lovely glass of Rosé for half price. Devoted is simple and calming, and you can see into the kitchen, so no messing there !!!

The service was impeccable, with the staff's knowledge of the menu and their genuine passion for Italian cuisine shining through. The drinks is complemented the meal beautifully, and the tiramisu for dessert was the perfect sweet ending to an unforgettable dining experience. Vapiano is a true gem in the heart of Brisbane city, offering a genuine taste of Italy with its delicious risotto and warm hospitality. I can't wait to return for another culinary journey.

Vapianos experience was nice, though we were taken to a really awkward table with a tree in the middle and it was hard to communicate with everyone in especially if you sat at the corner of the table. The food arrived relatively fast, they had QR code menus and I loved the burrata pizza. Would recommend if you have the time and money I’ll rate them from 1-5 strawberries where 1 is the lowest and 5 is the best: Service: 3/5 Product: 5/5 Price: 22$ 2/5 Wait: 5/5 Overall awesomeness: 3/5

Food was very good, albeit very expensive and they said there was a deal on the website. However, when I showed up and asked if I could get the discount they said it's only available on weekdays even though on the website it's not reflective of that. Overall the experience was good. However, as mentioned before, the price is very high and not recommended for people who just want a quick bite.

Unfortunately not great. Ordered, then later advised they had run out of fettuccine. I saw they had to tell lots of people this. You can add ingredients when your order which is good, however I added spinach thinking it would be stirred through the pasta.. but it was just put on top, which was odd. Bread wasn’t toasted. Sauce was good flavour but not enough and dry, so it didn’t cover the pasta enough. Staff were nice and good interior. Overall just a miss.

This is a really nice, warm and cosy restaurant and simple to locate. Very Italian oriented and large variety of starters and meals to choose from. The prosciutto pizza with rocket leaves and the bocconcini cheese in the middle is one of my favourites and worthy of a trial if you are unsure of what pizza to eat. The Nutella cheesecake is a delicious dessert to try rather than the traditional tiramisu. With moderate prices, there is a lot of good food to choose from. I heartily recommend this restaurant.

Over hyped, below the expectations. It was my second time. First times experience was okay ish while this time it was quite a disappointment. We ordered a few pasta and none taste good. The breads did taste good though. We as a group had spend easy 250+$ and when we asked for an extra sauce, we had to pay for it. Lol bad customer experience

  • Nath Merry

A beautiful restaurant with elegant decor that makes for a enjoyable and and refreshing dining experience and atmosphere. Tasteful and fresh food that comes with generous toppings. Perhaps a little on the pricey side, but overall a delightful experience. Staff were upbeat and pleasant to engage with.

Cute place but omg overpriced and really really tasteless. I got the vegan mushroom pasta and tried so hard to enjoy but it tasted like nothing. I put salt and pepper to try to enjoy but eek. The entree comes same time so pointless and small. This is the third time I have come here in a couple years and everytime I think it'll be good and it disappoints. $34 and unsatisfactory.

Had a wonderful dinner at Vapiano with friends! All of our pasta dishes were fresh and made to order! The service was great and food came out very quick. Thankfully because we were 6 hangry girls after a long day of travel. One of the best meals I had while visiting Brisbane. Oh, and get the trio of dips antipasti!!

A wonderful stop for anyone looking for authentic Italian with a bit more of a modern look and menu. The aesthetic was great, service was timely, and starters made the gap to the main course far shorter. The chicken Alfredo was great but Admittedly the excess mushroom brought the dish back. Certainly would recommend, even if I've had better.

Fabulous environment and service. The food was wonderful. I like their pizza and their cheese very much. The best was their dessert - Tiramisu and Panna cotta - mouth watering, and the servicing size was unexpectedly sizable.

A really nice place to dine out with a group or as a couple. Feels really fancy for the price. The pesto pasta I had was nice but not amazing. Over saucy and came out cold. Would go back to try the pizza though.

Had the $20 pizza special (Mon and Tues after 4) and it can't be beat. In house pizza dough is the best. Thin crust doesn't overpower the toppings.

The food was good and the service was even better, but the highlight was the hand dryer in the bathroom. It was gentle, soft and oh so intimate. It didn't dry my hands at all but the gentle caress of the lukewarm air on my damp hands really made my night.

I was here for happy hour, and had a very filling deep dish garlic pizza for $10 (happy hour price). Although it's advertised as a starter, it was definitely a meal in and of itself. So good food, cheap price.

I had a wonderful day when I traveled around Brisbane with my friend. Especially when we exploring this restaurant, all of the staff gave me amazing service and the food awesome as well.
