Massimo - Brisbane CBD


Last week we had a team lunch at work. This time I was designated social organiser and was granted the great power (and responsibility) of choosing where we'd go for a colleague's farewell lunch. Bound by the restrictions of proximity and time, I opted to try the fairly newly opened Massimo, sister venture to George's Paragon, also situated along Eagle Street.


Compared to the old Groove Train that had previously been in this spot, it was definitely far more up market and refined. Staff were friendly and efficient.


Their lunch menu contained a selection of starters, pastas and mains. Wanting a quick lunch so that we could go back to work quickly after, we all decided to try their house made pasta.


Not wanting to impose on my colleague's meals, I only took a picture of mine. This was the Al Ragu which comprised of pappardelle, slow cooked beef, pork, red sauce and pecorino cheese. Although the portion appeared fairly small, it was in fact quite filling, largely because fresh pasta is far more dense and satisfying than the alternative. It was cooked wonderfully with an al dente finish. The ragu was also stringy and had good texture to it. Would definitely be keen to come back and try another meal.

Price Range: $20 - $30pp

Taste: 8/10
Value: 8/10
Service: 8/10
Environment: 8/10
