OTTO celebrates people, place and la dolce vita. Located on the absolute riverfront at South Bank, OTTO Ristorante and OTTO Osteria bring a vibrant glamour to the Queensland dining scene. Striking river views and colourful interiors meet warm and assured service. The food at OTTO is delicious and unashamedly simple, taking inspiration from the southern regions of Italy. Head Chef Will Cowper’s menu is fresh, seasonal and produce-driven; sourcing the finest local ingredients and letting them speak for themselves. Inspired by his love for Italian varietals, Alan Hunter has written a list that will capture any wine lover’s attention, with a decisive line up of classic and esoteric Italian regions and varietals.

    Food and ambiance amazing. Waitress was a bit pompous, correcting our pronunciation. However, it was a fantastic night.

    Tabetha looked after us very well. We were seated promptly in a good position and proceeded to be given quickly by the wine waiter our drinks. He also watched for empty glasses and got more supplies without being asked. Tabetha explained the menu in detail, so we were clear what we wanted to choose. Had 3 courses of the most delicious food. This is the 2nd time I have been to Otto's and it is now my favorite restaurant in Brisbane. It is so nice to have the sun shining in and to be on the edge of the river, all the while having a interesting menu to choose from. Everything is clean and neat and smiling staff faces are everywhere. 10/10 for service. Much thanks Elizbeth.M

    Very bland food. Not worth the visit at all, especially considering that the high prices do not match the food taste. Otto needs to revamp their menu. I would recommend fellow diners to try other Italian restaurants in Brisbane. We did not eat any food for the day except at Otto, and we had severe tummy cramps - We seriously suspect that the food we ate at Otto was either not fresh, or the kitchen hands are not maintaining proper hygiene standards for food handling.
