Balboa Italian

The quality of the fit out and the restaurant unfortunately does not match the service and the food, both dishes came out luke warm, and the whole experience is so pushy, to get you in and out, to the point directly after your main is finished the bill comes, with no smile Second time there now and would not go back.

Great food, service and ambiance. Pricey but welll.worth a visit.

Molto bene! GREAT food,especially the beef cheek gnocchi. Service by our waitress impeccable

Lamb cannelloni was overcooked and very little lamb in it. Pizza base was really good, gnocchi was superb. Other meals were average. Overall this makes it overpriced. Staff okay and ambience good. The final nail was the espresso coffee was disgusting. They at least took that of the bill but that was all. Still not coming back

The best Italian restaurant of GC, I believe.

Very average for a “high end” price point. Bruschetta was whole grain toast, gnocchi was overcooked, pizza was average. Service was nice, but leaving chilli oil on the table was a problem for them. No real reason to come back - would not recommend.

Very friendly reception from the wait staff, who were very attentive throughout. Ambient lighting. Amazing risotto! Fish of the day had nice flavours, but could have been fresher. Arancini balls were okay, perhaps too tomato tangy. Lamb cannoli was to die for. Chocolate soufflé and Italian donuts were incredible. In all honestly, I would rate 4.5 stars, however that is not an available option and the desserts made up for what the fish and arancini lacked. See you again.

Great Italian food. Quality was superb and service was top notch. Kudos to the team there as they were really friendly, attentive and took good care of us. Highly recommended.

Excellent food, awesome environment, friendly staff.

Went for Mother's Day lunch and it's up to the usual high standard. We had a fussy eater in our party and they went out of their way to accommodate her. Food and service were excellent.
