L'Unico Trattoria Italiano

Very nice Italian restaurant, with good friendly service. There is a good vibe there and one feels comfortable with an enjoyable experience. The food was one step above the normal commercial franchise. We thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast.

What an amazing location, definitely a highlight of Trinity Beach. The staff were very friendly and initially attentive, particularly to my dietary needs. Though as the evening wore on the service declined. The mains came out before we were halfway through the entrees, they were politely returned to the kitchen. However there was then a huge delay between clearing the entree and mains thus our meals had been sitting for at least 20 minutes, this of course affected the quality of the food. On the plus side, the calamari was what my husband’s described as “the best” he has “ever tasted, and spoiled me for all other calamari “. The price was also good for the generous serve. The risotto was delicious, if somewhat lacking in moisture. We would have ordered dessert but after a 15 minute wait we decided to have dessert elsewhere. Meals were all generously proportioned.

L’Unico exceeded my expectations when it came to the food and flavours. Everything was fresh and full of flavour — the seafood pasta and cocktail were amazing. The salads were HUGE(perfect for sharing) and again full of flavours. and I even had leftovers to enjoy the next morning. Great atmosphere, generous portions, and ideal for a group to share plates. Overall, I’d definitely come again!

Recommended by Cairns local as a go to Italian at Trinity Beach. Food was authentic, tasty and generous. Desserts were very tasty, we especially love the tiramisu and sticky date pudding. Price is reasonable.

Give it a try! We had a short stopover in the delightful Trinity Beach area and were very impressed with the spontaneous dinner here. The spinach and ricotta cannelloni was flavoured with a welcome addition of pesto and perfectly cooked and the refreshing side salad was a nice touch too. The carbonara was perfectly seasoned and a very generous portion too. We took away a serve of tiramisu which was to die for. The gorgeous view of the beach, the bubbly atmosphere and attentive staff made for a lovely last night in north Qld.

Amazing food, with very generous servings and great flavour. The atmosphere was great, even on a rainy night. The service was awesome, my only comment is that we were not offered a desert menu or takeaway boxes so we saw ourselves out to pay. It was a 9.8/10 experience overall.

I had an absolutely wonderful experience at L’unico Trattoria Italiano! Everything was perfect – from the cozy, authentic Italian atmosphere to the professional and friendly service. The food was flavorful and clearly made with care. The pizza and pasta were especially outstanding – truly irresistible! The staff were lovely, always smiling and ready to help with anything. This is definitely one of the best Italian restaurants I’ve visited in Australia. I’ll absolutely be coming back and recommending it to my friends!
