La Trattoria Italiana at Ruby Lake Resort

Fantastic food. Tasty. Try the bread with olive. Seafood pasta amazing... everything was excellent. Tables and lake view was romantic. I am a difficult critic, but this restaurant is a must repeat. Young gentlemen (blond hair ) waiter knew everything. Professional service.

This place was on another level. Do yourself a favor and go for the appy with the wild boar prosciutto if they still have it. The seafood in my pasta was so fresh and the wild boar tenderloin in my partner's dish was charred and smokey, but not overcooked. All the accompaniments, including the extra side of creamy wild mushrooms ? were perfect. The house red was really good quality and the dessert - panna cotta and the deconstructed cheesecake were a perfectly light finish to the meal. We had a full three course meal with extra sides and wine, and weren't left with that sick, heavy feeling. Great ambience and the service as well. Worth. Every. Penny.

I highly recommend this spot. The ambiance is lovely, the Italian food was super and the staff were excellent. The halibut was to die for. They also have a excellent wine selection. COVID precautions were in place including all staff in masks, social distancing, readily available hand sanitizer and frequent table cleanings. I was so impressed and felt very safe. Thank you for the great evening!

Great dinner with great ambiance! Late dinner on the patio. Best bruschetta I have ever had...including Italy!
Had the pasta with prawns which was outstanding.
Hubby had the steak special but he felt meat was very fatty but there was lots of it.
Worth a visit and we will be back.
Table next to us had seafood pasta which looked incredible. Next time!

This was the culinary highlight of our trip to the Sunshine Coast in 2018. The food is incredible, with fresh ingredients cooked perfectly, and the setting was relaxing, fun and everything we were looking for.
The reviews expecting hotel-level fine dining are ridiculous: if you want fantastic food that transports you to the Mediterranean for an evening, this is for you. Can't wait to go back this weekend for our anniversary dinner!
