Very yummy dinner at La Costa. A friend recommended this place recently and we are so grateful! There was a little mix up with our meals, but it was taken care of and handled in a quick and professional manner. We thoroughly enjoyed all 3 dishes but the carbonara was a real highlight. My husband loved the cocktails and the server was great in her recommendations. Thank you!

Just did a pizza class with Davide and what a slice of fun! He kept things super entertaining while still making sure we actually learned something. The whole experience was a perfect mix of laughs, dough, and deliciousness. Easily one of the most enjoyable ways to spend a couple of hours — highly recommend! La Costa has a pizza my heart

Great food, had diavola pizza, oysters, bugs & prawn pasta & greens. All perfectly cooked & seasoned perfectly. Service was a bit chaotic but in a very authentic friendly Italian kind of way.

Highly recommend. Our team of 6 did the Pizza Class with Chef Davide and it was a fantastic afternoon! From learning the rich history of pizza to hands-on dough stretching and assembling our creations - it was engaging and enjoyable. We get to indulge in our delicious pizza creation later with a glass of prosecco. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming—Chef Davide brought humour, warmth, and passion for Italian cuisine. This experience is perfect for work teams, friends, or anyone looking for a unique and fun group activity.
