Best Romantic Restaurants in West End

We booked Doughcraft because we'd seen Simone and Viviana on MKR and were so impressed by them. They were exceptional cooks but also humble, kind and respectful people who were great ambassadors for Italy and Queensland. They didn't engage in any back-biting or nastiness while on MKR which made them even more endearing to us and, although they're both very patriotic Italians, we were very proud to claim them as Queenslanders. Doughcraft was fantastic! The food was excellent! We started with arancini balls and cannoli - outstanding! I had a Classic Espresso Martini and it was the best Espresso Martini I've ever had. My husband and I both had the ravioli for main and shared the profiteroles for dessert. Also outstanding! A highlight of the evening was seeing Simone working away at one of the tables. My husband couldn't resist going over and congratulating him. I was concerned this might be annoying as I'm sure he gets congratulated all the time. But, to his credit, Simone was lovely. He wasn't bothered at all and was very friendly. I also saw him being asked for selfies from people at other tables and he was more than happy to oblige. You must try Doughcraft. I honestly couldn't complain about anything. The staff were so friendly and helpful and the food was excellent. We'll definitely be recommending Doughcraft to our family and friends. We can't wait to go back!
