Book NowAbout Persone Italian Restaurant
Perched above North Quay, Persone pairs sweeping Brisbane River vistas with sharp, unhurried Italian hospitality. Diners gather on the breezy open balcony terrace for celebratory milestones and corporate lunches—shielded from dining room clatter by acoustic-dampened architecture that keeps conversation effortless. The kitchen takes pasta seriously: house-made spaghetti arrives infused directly with fresh squid ink into the dough, tossed alongside sweet cherry tomatoes and plump prawns. A crisp glass of Astoria Lounge Prosecco, a rich slow-cooked beef and pork ragù, or a plate of warm polpette round out an afternoon framed by South Bank views.
- Panoramic Balcony Dining: An open balcony terrace framing panoramic Brisbane River and South Bank views creates an elevated backdrop for team events and milestone dinners.
- House-Crafted Squid Ink Pasta: Spaghetti made in-house infuses squid ink right into the pasta dough, paired with cherry tomatoes, garlic, and prawns.
- Engineered Acoustic Comfort: Smart room acoustics dampen ambient dining room hum, allowing effortless table conversation across long group lunches.

Dylan Corbett Acoustically Dampened Table Dining
The dining room layout features deliberate acoustic dampening that softens ambient sound, allowing effortless conversation around tables during busy seatings.
Appreciated the layout and the general acoustics of the room as it dampened the sound well and having conversations around the table was very easy.
Phillip Janicki Proactive Floor Cadence
Service runs with steady pacing, proactive refills, and clear oversight, giving guests reassurance that nothing will need to be chased or managed during meals.
Service was attentive and professional throughout my dining experience. Made you feel at home and never needing to “chase” someone to order or refill my glass.
Michael C Elevated Riverside Vistas
The elevated terrace and dining room frame sweeping panoramic vistas overlooking the Brisbane River, South Bank, and city skyline.
An awesome venue over-looking North Quay toward South-Bank. Breath-taking views of the river in the fading light.
Peter Schravemade Handcrafted Artisanal Pasta
Chefs prepare signature handmade pasta on site, including squid ink infused directly into fresh dough to enhance flavor without leaving heavy residue.
Instead of making the sauce of squid ink (which I had previously, resulting in my teeth turning black), the spaghetti itself is made fresh on premises with squid ink, providing the flavours and the colour without the consequences.

I wish the Seafood Risotto went on forever. The taste was heavenly.
Brett Boon Squid Ink Spaghetti
the spaghetti itself is made fresh on premises with squid ink, providing the flavours and the colour without the consequences. With a cherry tomato sauce that had notes of garlic, dill and sherry, the prawns were well balanced.
Chantal McNaught Arancini Balls
The arancini balls were a standout—crispy on the outside with a gooey mozzarella center, perfectly paired with a delicious sauce.
Leonardo Debonis Pork and Beef Ragu
for the main I got the pork and beef ragu which was wonderful. Generous portion of protein and overall serving size with beautiful flavours.
