POPOLO

My wife went there yesterday and had a shared menu, as she is coeliac she had a slightly different menu as expected, however she was given one less dish than all of the other people in the group (the steak/fish which would have been easy to cook gluten free). She was shown the different menu beforehand, but didn’t realise that it was missing that dish relative to the rest of her party She commented that the food she did have was delicious, but the experience fell short of expectations.

Walking along Southbank, you see so many restaurants that look enticing and fantastic. When we arrived at Popolo, it was buzzing. We hadn't made a reservation and were extremely lucky to have scored one of the last available tables. Food was amazing, the wine - so delicious, and the service - impeccable! Lemon blew my mind. Tiramisu was perfection. Wine sent me right back to Sicily. I was a little tipsy, so I don't remember much of the pizza and pasta. But we smashed the arancini before taking a photo. So we probably loved it! Next time I am in Brisbane, this will be my first stop. However, I'll be sure to make a booking first. My coeliac husband said he would also return, get gluten-guts, and endanger his life for more Popolo.
