The food and service was fine, but given all of the raves we were disappointed. The pasta was swimming in sauce and was a bit heavy. Reasonably priced

I would like to thank the staff of La Fettuccina for a fantastic night. The steak was fantastic, my wife enjoyed her pasta and the kids loved the whole experience.

Have had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant many times. The food is always delicious and resonably priced. The service is friendly and attentive. A menu to please everyone. Pity it is not a BYO.

We had an enjoyable evening here on Easter Sunday night. It was the perfect choice for our guests who prefer simple home style cooking. All meals were good. We especially appreciated the excellent service afforded to us by our waitress. She was efficient, friendly and always there at the correct time without hovering. Well done.

We ate in La Fettucina during our recent visit to Cairns .It is located very near the city square. We chose an outside table. The food was very good and the service was excellent. The calamari was the best I had during our stay in Australia. Our waitress, from Brazil, was very pleasant and made our dining experience memorable.

La Fetts has been around a long time which says a lot in Cairns where restaurants come and go. Good simple Italian fare. Always tasty.

Perfect food! Friendly service from John. A must do! Try the risotto. Real Italian food with prices that won't break the budget!

Food portions are quite large and worth the price paid (approx pub prices). Entree scallops were fantastic. Cappaccio was great. Calamari was great. Gnocchi tasted great but was quite dense and heavy. Lamb was good, but first taste was quite salty. Eye fillet was amazing. The pinot noir by the glass complimented the lamb well. Bookings highly recommended. Would definitely... More

The first time we ate at La Fettuccina we were really impressed. The service was great - the best in Cairns! We were served promptly, the waitress knew the menu really well, we were not left unattended. The food was lovely; I had the gnocchi napolitana and my partner had the penne arribiata. While the penne did not appear to... More
