il Vento Italian Restaurant & Woodfire Pizza

Staff were friendly and attentive, and the pizzas had great flavour and quality ingredients. The only downside was the bases could have been a bit more crispy for that proper woodfired crunch. Bonus points for the wine list too, they had real Italian wine, which made the whole meal feel more authentic. We’d happily come back.

Our favourite restaurant on the Sunshine Coast. Consistently outstanding food and service. Have never had a bad dish here. And always served by knowledgeable and attentive staff who clearly love what they do and where they do it. The atmosphere is one of relaxed fine dining, with subdued lighting and decor that makes the experience one that you can linger and enjoy, and leaves you looking forward to the next opportunity to come back and try other spectacular menu items.

Came to the Sunshine Coast for a weekend get away and found this gem. Amazing, authentic Italian cuisine, super friendly staff, delicious cocktails and attentive service. The vibe was relaxed and welcoming. Will certainly come back should we be in the area.

Ate here on Dec 9th 2025 whilst on holiday in Mooloolaba from England and had a lovely meal with great service. Best pizzas Ive had in a long time and nice friendly staff and reasonable prices. Excellent

What's not to like! With amazing service, (Thanks Maddie), to amazing menu and food to match, it's a great night out. Flavours of Italy blended into food and drink. One of our favourites. We'll be back 😋

Second time visiting this Italian for lunch and even more impressed than first. Highly rate this place, food is delicious and affordable compared to other Italian locally, the staff are polite and genuine, very helpful, great drinks pairing. Will definitely be back again soon. Best pizzas in Mooloolaba and the mushroom truffle gnocchi is to die for! Check out their specials. Very sheek design inside or you can have a lovely casual afternoon in their outside seating.

Such a lovely restaurant, have been for dinner twice and have had a wonderful time. The pizzas and entrees are delicious and the food comes quite fast. The service was absolutely incredible, both times were served by friendly ladies. Wanted to especially thank Jess, who was so lovely and great to talk to, will definitely come back again.

The pasta's were a great size and full of flavour. So many different pizza's to pick from, the bonus was selecting a smaller size pizza if you were not sharing. The staff were friendly and always available. Lovely atmosphere.
