Celebrate the extraordinary woman in your life this Mother’s Day with an authentic Italian feast at Elio’s Osteria, Carina’s hidden gem for Sicilian-inspired cuisine. Nestled in Brisbane’s heart, our family-owned trattoria blends rustic charm with bold flavors, offering a culinary journey that’s perfect for honouring Mum weather it is brunch lunch or dinner, we got you covered . From hand-rolled pizzas to creamy pastas and decadent desserts, every dish is crafted with tradition and love. Here’s why Elio’s is the ultimate destination for a memorable Mother’s Day:
1. Handcrafted Starters to Spark Joy
Kick off your celebration with shareable antipasti bursting with Mediterranean flair. Dive into the Antipasto Plate, a vibrant spread of salami, prawns, mussels, feta, and marinated veggies, paired with pillowy focaccia. For seafood lovers, the Garlic Prawns (served on fettuccini in creamy garlic or spicy chilli sauce) are a showstopper. Don’t miss the Arancini – truffle-infused risotto balls with aioli – or the Kalamata Olives, warmed in balsamic with spicy flatbread. These starters set the tone for a feast Mum won’t forget!
2. Artisanal Pasta Creations, Made with Love
Nothing says “Mamma” like homemade pasta! Elio’s shines with dishes like the Blue Cheese Gnocchi – tender potato dumplings smothered in rich blue vein sauce and grilled prosciutto. The Ricotta Ravioli Pumpkin combines sweet honey pumpkin, crispy bacon, and pine nuts in a luscious alfredo sauce. Craving comfort? The Lasagne layers Bolognese and béchamel to perfection. Each bite is a tribute to Italy’s culinary heritage, made with fresh, locally sourced ingredients.
3. Authentic Italian Pizza, Hand-Rolled Daily
For pizza aficionados, Elio’s delivers la dolce vita with classics and inventive twists. Surprise Mum with the Zucca Pizza (honey pumpkin, spinach, feta, and pine nuts) or the carnivore-approved Bastardo Grasso – a secret 7-meat marvel loaded with lamb, prosciutto, and BBQ sauce. The Sweet Chilli Chicken Pizza balances heat and sweetness, while the QLD’er tops prawns, feta, and aioli for a coastal twist. Every slice is a crispy, cheesy ode to Italy!
4. Decadent Desserts to Sweeten the Day
Indulge Mum’s sweet tooth with heavenly Italian desserts. The Tiramisu Terrine layers coffee-soaked savoiardi with mascarpone and Marsala, while the Nutella Calzone oozes molten chocolate, served with ice cream. The Pannacotta – vanilla and Frangelico on a ginger toffee crumb – is pure elegance, and the Zeppole (ricotta doughnuts with maple syrup) are a crowd-pleaser. Pair with an Affogato for a caffeinated finale!
5. Curated Wine Pairings, BYO Convenience and Magic Show
Elevate your meal with Elio’s selection of fine wines or bring Mum’s favourite bottle (we’re BYO!). Sip on a crisp white with seafood risotto or a bold red alongside the Bistecca Con Aglio (garlic rib fillet). Our licensed bar also offers cocktails and beers, ensuring every toast to Mum feels special.
