About Costa D'oro Italian Restaurant & Pizzeria

Run by the same family on Orchid Avenue since 1987, Costa D'oro is where Surfers Paradise regulars head for generous, red-sauce Italian. Tables stay packed with signature Fettuccini D'Oro, slow-simmered ragù, and blistered crusts built for passing around. Even during peak weekend rushes, the owners still work the floor—carving out space for walk-ins and pouring chilled spritzes out on the buzzing alfresco terrace.

  • 39-Year Family Operation: Run continuously by original owners since 1987, offering personal floor hospitality and a welcoming neighborhood atmosphere.
  • Feast-Sized Portions: Generous plates of pasta and large-format pizzas crafted for hearty appetites and shared group feasts.
  • Walk-In Friendly: Accommodating floor staff reliably find space to seat walk-in diners during peak Surfers Paradise dining hours.
