Our story began in 2002 when our friend and chef, Roberto, opened a pizza shop in the newly established Clifton Beach Shopping Centre. Roberto, who had relocated from Melbourne, worked as a labourer during the day and dedicated his nights to planning his dream pizza restaurant. Once the dust settled, Roberto's was born, offering an authentic menu that captured the essence of dining in an Italian trattoria.
Years later, Mario and Silvia took over Roberto's, transforming it into 'A Taste of Italy.' They built upon its success as the locals' favorite pizza place by introducing table service and obtaining a liquor license, allowing guests to enjoy a glass of their favorite drink alongside their meal.
Under the new ownership, the menu expanded to include even more authentic flavors. We perfected dishes featuring fresh local seafood, sourced excellent Napoli sauce, created refreshing salads, and crafted satisfying antipasti dishes using the finest local produce.
In 2016, we were honored to be voted as the best pizza by our beloved locals, and we are grateful for their continued support. Since then, we have maintained our commitment to excellence by hand-making our doughs and pasta, ensuring that every dish is prepared with the freshest and tastiest ingredients available.
At A Taste of Italy, we are proud to have a dedicated team of locals serving locals. We have also provided employment opportunities to young individuals from Clifton Beach and the Cairns area, fostering a sense of community and contributing to the local economy.
We invite you to explore our menu and place an order for pick-up or delivery to share the authentic Italian experience with your friends. Alternatively, you can visit our restaurant and allow our friendly team to recommend a selection of specials and favorites that will satisfy your every craving.
Come and join us at A Taste of Italy, where tradition meets innovation, and every bite is a celebration of the rich flavors and warm hospitality that Italy is renowned for.

Reviews
"Just awful and far from fresh. We ordered a pizza and pasta, there was more sauce than pasta in the container and the fake meat on the pizza was inedible. We threw this away and ate dip and biscuits"
"We've had pizza from here for the last 2 years and we've thought they were a bit pricey but worth it. The pizzas were well made, with lots of toppings. Just got 2 delivered and the results were terrible. Extremely thin crust compared with previous versions. The toppings were thin, not like a usual Capriciosa and had tomato paste drizzled on the top! It didn't taste like the usual one we get and the tomato stuff on top overpowered any subtleties usually experienced. Looks and tastes like it was made by an apprentice on a Friday arvo. And... the price had gone up 20% for a Deal 3!"
"First time here despite passing by it multiple times. Doesn’t look much from the outside (inside the shopping mall side) but the food is excellent! Service also perfect. We had the Mexican pizza and the seafood pasta. Both were fantastic. The seafood pasta had huge prawns, mussels, squid, fish, octopus. All fresh. Pizza had just the right amount of chili. Don’t call this place a Pizza Shop, this is a quality Italian restaurant on par with the best in Melbourne. We will be back here, frequently."
