Ramona Trattoria & Bar || Coorparoo / Camp Hill

Brisbane’s pizza purists are quietly crowning this buzzing Coorparoo spot as their undisputed champion. Forget the hype—Ramona Trattoria & Bar earns its stripes with pure, unadulterated technique. The vibe? Relaxed but elevated. A vibrant room where the waitstaff treat you like famiglia and know their wine list inside out.

You’re coming for the dough—expertly aged, brick-oven blistered, and boasting a crust with serious chew. Those who know the drill order the Diavola or the Margherita loaded with sausage. But the handmade pasta is just as fiercely defended. Freshly rolled and boiled to a flawless al dente. Think pappardelle catching every drop of a rich wild boar sugo, or a vivid lobster spaghetti swimming in a spicy, luxurious bisque topped with a pop of fish roe. Even the carbonara flips the script—opting for chewy porchetta and a heavy hit of black pepper.

Wash it down with a burnt rosemary and Chartreuse cocktail. Just save room for the tiramisu—crowned with a brilliant, crunchy nut topping that completely reinvents the classic. Bookings are mandatory. Parking is tight—ditch the car a block away and stroll in. Mangiamo.
