VAPIANO

Albert lane, Brisbane CBD

Italian food is overdone and overdone badly at times, like cheap pizzas and that real dodge takeaway lasanga… also, can be so boring, yawn.

Well you should try Vapianos, it a fantastic Italian restaurant, which Melon will contest as hers is Cosi (which you can also read about if you prefer a more traditional Italian eating experience).

Vapianos is not your traditional Italian resteraunt, no, it is more modern and less like restaurant dining, almost like self service. You could say it’s a more expensive and tasteful version of Fasta Pasta?

You can watch them cook it fresh in front of you and then take your meal to sit in the high benched tables which have weird pot plants in the middle… but I think it added to its quirks and made it a little more vegetable garden-ish atmosphere. Vapianos do have a bar upstairs and the dining experience is quite nice. It does get busy, as it is located directly off Queens street in Albert lane. The vibe is great and it smells amazing of course, because Italian food just does right?

My favourite from here is the pepperoni pizza, which is a little Spicer than normal pepperoni pizza. I also enjoyed the pesto pasta, but it is a little creamy and one complaint I have is, for what you pay the meals are very small.

The staff are friendly but there is no table service, you are the waiter here. The prices are not exactly cheap as the meal portions can be quite small.  The meals range from $17 to $30.

Melon and Dorito rate Vapianos a 6/10.
More for value maybe?
