Restaurant review: Vapiano, Brisbane

I was taken to a new restaurant in Brisbane’s Queen Street Mall on Friday night called Vapiano.
It’s a large, modern Italian restaurant with a large bar and dining area upstairs and kitchen downstairs where the food is cooked right in front of you by the friendly chefs as soon as you order it. Fantastic!
The menu is huge as well – something for every taste. I ordered the Gamberi E Spinaci (prawns, pesto, baby spinach in a cream sauce). It was so mouth-watering and so filling at the same time (I couldn’t finish it; as much as I would have liked to).
The drinks menu was extensive with local and imported beers, wines and champagnes on offer.
If you’re interesting in checking it out, it’s well worth it. Best to go with a group of friends to enjoy a cheap night out. It’s not really a ‘romantic’ venue for couples.
Value for money: 8/10
Service: 7/10
Ambience: 5/10 (it was far too busy, but it was a Friday night so they could be forgiven).
