IL MOLO Italian Kitchen & Bar

Perched right by the Bulimba ferry terminal—a knockout riverside setup. IL MOLO brings upmarket Italian energy without the stiff formality. The fit-out? Striking. The vibe? Pure sprezzatura—effortlessly lively, perpetually buzzing. Brisbane’s alfresco crowd clamors for those prime water-facing tables, soaking in the views with a flawless espresso or a celebratory Prosecco. Navigating the menu like a pro is key. Those who know the drill zero in on the undeniable hits—standout calamari, rich prawn pasta, and a Margherita pizza so good tables order it twice. Always grab extra bread to mop up the sugo. While the kitchen’s execution can occasionally waver, the exceptionally warm hospitality keeps the atmosphere electric. A brilliant waterfront go-to for a sun-drenched lunch or a milestone dinner.
