Best Italian Restaurants in Mawson

Loved this restaurant! Great service, fantastic food, lovely ambience and fit out! Simple yet stunning flavours beautifully presented by delightful competent staff! What’s not to like! I dine at Melbourne restaurants often and this place holds its own with the best! A great addition to the Canberra offering!

I’m fairly new to Canberra and was looking for an Italian restaurant for a date night and stumbled upon Briscola after a quick online search. Making the booking online was pain free. We were running a little late for our booked time and when I rang, the restaurant, to inform them, the person I spoke to was friendly and respectful. The service and food could not be faulted. The wine was brilliant. I would have no hesitation recommending this restaurant looking for a wonderful Italian restaurant.

Excellent food with a wide selection of dishes available. All staff were very professional but importantly also very friendly and looked liked they enjoy being there. That all made for a very enjoyable evening. We will definitely be back!

Good hotel dinner options, food was good. Rather basic Chaires/tables etc. service was ok but staff “remembering” orders doesn’t always work…bread order forgotten. White wine bottle served was not cold with staff insisting it would cool in ice bucket…changed order to something that was cold. We also had breakfast following day and a good hotel buffet with sufficient options. Table clearing slow though. All suggests maybe have some trouble getting staff…like everywhere at the moment perhaps. But would go again!

Great food and service to celebrate a special occasion
