    Brilliant service, super cosy atmosphere and the most drool-worthy, authentic Italian we have had for a long time in Brisbane. Incredibly accommodating and I could not fault a thing. Home made focaccia to go with our charcuterie was DELICIOUS, super generous pasta servings and I even had a non-alcoholic spritz made that was just like the real thing. Definitely coming back. Do yourself a favour and try COMO! Bravo team 👏

    The staff were helpful in assisting me and guided me to the perfect lunch for one. I generally would t have a cocktail for lunch but fell in love with the blood flower. Very creative. This went well with my chicken dish in the bento section of the menu. Flavours were amazing.

    We go to Hotel West End every week for the trivia night. The food and service is excellent and it’s a very pleasant atmosphere: not too noisy, light and airy, spacious. And the trivia host is clear, well-organised and fun. Nice place for a group/family meal as you don’t have to yell at each other to be heard.

    We went there for my partners birthday, and the service, food and atmosphere was second next to none. Ruby is an absolute superstar behind the bar making cocktails for us and a 21st birthday. We will definitely be back. Thanks Ruby
