Il Locale Rosalie - Brisbane

My group of three had a great lunch at this restaurant last Sunday. We shared a delicious Charcuterie board and ordered wood-fired Carpricciosa pizza, Mariana Tagliatelle, and Ravioli with Barramundi as our mains. The variety of cured meats, cheeses, and olives on the board was a pleasant surprise. The Tagliatelle was perfectly cooked with plenty of seafood, and the Ravioli with Barramundi had a rich fish flavor that we all enjoyed. The wood-fired pizza was prepared perfectly with toppings of tomatoes, mushrooms, olives, ham, artichoke, and mozzarella creating a delicious combination. Overall, it was a perfect lunch experience. Previous visit was in May 2018 and I would rate it 4/5.

I Locale is the top Italian restaurant in Brisbane. The pizzas are genuine and tasty, and the desserts are rich and elegantly plated. I definitely plan on coming back frequently.

I went to this restaurant for dinner the other night and had a fantastic experience. I tried the prawn entree and mains, both of which had a delicious garlicky, buttery, and chili flavor. The homemade pasta was cooked perfectly al dente and was a delightful dish. My partner had the carpaccio with truffle oil which was very fragrant, and the flatbread was crispy and tasty. His stuffed gnocchi was also a hit, and I'm definitely getting that next time. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our meals and will be back soon.

Today I was invited by Pamela to have lunch at this restaurant which had grabbed my attention on my last visit to Rosalie but had slipped from my mind.<br/ <br/ Arriving not much after opening I'm surprised to see no guests at such a beautiful location with their nice wooden floors and furniture.<br/ <br/ The staff promptly greeted me and informed to choose a seat of my liking.<br/ <br/ After pondering at the menu for a while the lack of visible vegan options scared me but shortly after I was able to find options which are always welcome such as the polenta fritters and the margherita which are classics that I grew up appreciating.<br/ <br/ After a couple of minutes waiting I get my polenta fritters, they look golden and crunchy and are served with a side of tomato sauce instead of the aioli at my request. The polenta is as crunchy as I expected but inside it's still moist and creamy, it's well seasoned but a bit oily. Would rate it a 4 out of 5.<br/ <br/ After about 25 minutes of my entree being served, I see my pizza making its way to my table, it looks amazing, simple and appetizing as a margherita should be. On my first bite I'm sold, the crust is the way I like it, thin and crispy but not hard, the sauce on top has a good balance and I only wish there were a little bit more basil to it. Would also rate it a 4 out of 5 since I feel it's a bit too expensive for 22 dollars but it might feel like that because there was no cheese since I'm vegan.<br/ <br/ Overall I had a pleasant lunch and enjoyed the atmosphere and friendly manager who made sure everything was according to my needs : .

It's quite easy to find an Italian restaurant that doesn't veer too much from it's traditional roots. But what about one that serves up goji berries with its carpaccio? Or edamame beans with it's pesce?. Are these dishes crazy or ingenious?. To find out, we paid a visit to Il Locale Italian at Rosalie; a restaurant that isn't afraid to take inspiration from all corners of the world.
