Why We Love It
The Location
Many would argue that Cibaria Noosa is the true heart of Hastings Street, our town’s most iconic dining strip. With expansive glass windows thrown open to the street and tables spilling towards the buzz outside, it blurs the line between indoors and out. Whether you’re enjoying a leisurely long lunch or an afternoon aperitivo at Bar Capri after a day spent at Noosa Main Beach, the convenient location of Cibaria cannot be understated.
The Menu
Inspired by the lively Italian piazza, the menu is an undeniable showcase of the eclectic flavours of Italy. Behind the scenes, a series of dedicated kitchens including the antipasteria, cruderia, spaghetteria and bisteccheria make for ensuring you experience all the very best parts of Italy in one sitting.
Expect fresh seafood, hand-crafted pasta, seasonal antipasti and premium cuts from the grill. Dishes are generous and designed for sharing, all in the spirit of a traditional Italian trattoria. House-made pasta is a true highlight, alongside vibrant crudo plates and classic desserts like tiramisu. The wine list blends Australian favourites with Italian varietals, while the cocktail is a nod to aperitivo hour – think Aperol Spritzes and Negronis with a bit of Noosa flair.
The Atmosphere
By day, the space is bright and social. By night, it softens into something more intimate. The Trattoria offers relaxed outdoor dining by the pool, while the trattoria hums with warmth inside. The street facing bar, Bar Capri, is perfect for morning coffee, a late lunch or sunset drinks as you watch the world of Hastings Street drift by.
The Service
The service at Cibaria Noosa encompasses the essence of Italian hospitality. Staff offer thoughtful guidance on the menu and wine list, while allowing each guest to set their own pace.
