About The Italian Plate

Fresh pasta, breezy Racecourse Road dining, and personal hospitality define dinner at The Italian Plate. Tables sit out along the footpath under open air, trading stuffy dining rooms for steady breezes and focused plates. Regulars swear by the antipasto before moving to garlic prawns or the linguini misto di pesci—loaded with prawns, scallops, and Moreton Bay bug. Between courses, the chef often steps out from the line to check on tables personally, right before the house tiramisu lands.

  • Open-air footpath dining: Dining is set entirely outdoors in a ventilated setup along Racecourse Road.
  • Hands-on chef presence: The head chef regularly steps out to the dining area to check on guests and dishes.
  • Moreton Bay bug pasta: Bowls arrive loaded with prawns, scallops, and local Moreton Bay bug.
