Cucina Regina is an exquisite Italian restaurant offering a dining experience fit for royalty, located on The Terrace at The Star Brisbane.
Transporting guests to Italy’s trattorias with time-honoured recipes from the heart, Cucina Regina is the go-to for elevated Italian dining in the heart of Brisbane’s newest dining destination, Queens Wharf.
The authentic Italian restaurant brings a sense of old-world charm to Brisbane’s evolving culinary scene and is a nod to the beloved ‘passeggiato’ where guests wander before or after a meal, socialising and enjoying the company of loved ones.
Blending traditional flavours with modern techniques, Cucina Regina’s Italian family table showcases an uncomplicated mix of a la carte antipasti, woodfired pizzas, handmade pastas and a selection of land and sea from the woodfired grill.
From approachable small plates including classic Bruschetta, house made Arancini and soft fried Squid, to crowd favourite pastas and pizzas, the menu is designed for one and all.
Dishes include Rigatoni Carbonara and slow-cooked Lamb Ragu; Prosciutto pizza with cherry tomatoes, rocket & shaved parmesan; and Gamberetti of garlic prawns, chilli, zucchini, topped with creamy Stracciatella, while from the woodfired grill, there's Moreton Bay Bugs with garlic and herb butter, smokey flatbread and soft herb salad; or Bistecca Alla Fiorentina, which heroes a 1.1kg Gold T-Bone steak from Australian beef producers Stockyard.
The venue’s beverage menu features approachable Italian wine varietals, the bittersweet joy of a perfectly balanced Amaro Sour to the loved Negroni or zesty Limoncello spritz.
Good to know - Catering for up to 160 guests through indoor and al fresco dining, the venue also features a dedicated private dining room which seats up to 18 guests.
