Friendly and attentive staff. Traditional Italian food and restaurant. On and off street eating areas which makes for a good atmosphere in the middle of Surfers Paradise.

There is a sign outside the restaurant that states they have a dinner special whereby takeaway pizzas are $20.00 and all pastas are $25.00. (See photo). So we decided we would have takeaway pizza on the beach. But no, we are told that that is...a lunchtime special only. Bit bemused by that but we decided to dine in and it was not a nice experience. The food was flavourless, and very much overpriced. Had to look long and hard for the bacon in the bacon and mushroom sauce. Paying the bill was another nasty surprise - 2 service charges on top of the expensive meals. Two nights later we had pasta meals at the Surfers Paradise RSL and they were much nicer and less than half the price.More

My wife and I had lunch at Costa Doro while we were on vacation and love the restaurant, the food and Nuccia, the Owner. Nuccia and her staff were friendly and over the top fantastic!!! Since the beginning of our vacation, we were in need...of “some great pasta “ and Costa Doro came through for us. You could tell it was a family owned business!!! Ciao, Bella. 👍👍👍👍👍More

Worst experience, horrible food & dishonest staff, undercooked food & even the restaurant's owner was very rude, arrogant & selfless. Will never go near this place again. If you are Muslim DO NOT eat here all of their sauces contain ALCOHOL.

Even though we hadn’t booked, the friendly gentleman at the entrance assured us there would be a table for 4 available in 5 mins if we wanted to wait, which we did. The atmosphere was great and had an abundance of choices from the menu,...all 4 of us admitted it was one of the best meals we’ve had. Staff were exceptionally friendly and happy which always adds to the vibe when the staff enjoy what they are doing, they cater for the people who want to get in and out fast, and also for the ‘take your time’ diners. Thoroughly enjoyed this experience!More

My partner and dined here last night the food & service was impeccable. The Marinara was the best I have had so full of flavour& a large serve. My partner had Scallopini with Prawns which he said was sensational. We would highly recommend Costa D'Oro...for great Italian food.More

BE AWARE!!! We went to dinner (two families) and ended up paying $50 extra on the top of the bill. They charged us ridiculous penalty rate because it was Saturday which was 10% and another card surcharge of 1,5%! I would understand penalty rate if...we went there on a public holidays but not just because it is Saturday night, especially if they charge for drinks like beer $10. Food was average, nothing special but overpriced, service was slow. Well, we tried and will never go back...they definitely lost us.More

After reading what appeared to be so many great reviews online we decided to try this place for some dinner. Unfortunately it was a terrible experience and I am not one for writing a bad review for a place. We were left without food for...over 50 minutes despite every other table that arrived after us and bigger groups also being served before us. We would have appreciated if we had ordered something which takes a while to cook, however all we asked for was simply a carbonara and pasta with chicken. We asked 4 different staff to check status of our order and then they finally appeared to realise we had been totally forgotten about as the fire mentioned other tables were by now finished eating and preparing to leave. When my partners carbonara did then arrive it was inedible. Thrown together and flavourless, my rigatoni pollo was only ok, I wouldn’t return again for it. Overall we were very disappointed with what we were so looking forward to a lovely Italian dining experience.More

We loved Costa D’oro. We went with our two kids (aged 15 and 12) and enjoyed it so much we went back again … and again … in the space of a week. Wonderful service, great setting and delicious food - we had several pastas...and pizzas; all were superb. Such great hospitality. Our favourite restaurant in Surfers Paradise.More
