Italia Lane sits down a laneway off Ann Street in Fortitude Valley, entered via Brookes or Church Street, bringing the spirit of la dolce vita to the heart of Brisbane. Rome-born Executive Head Chef Rino Avellini crafts a menu of traditional and contemporary Italian dishes, from hand-crafted pasta to hand-stretched Napoli-style pizza cooked in a wood-fired oven, drawing on quality ingredients and time-honoured technique. The venue spans a lush open-air laneway for lunch, a mood-lit interior for evening dining, and a colourful outdoor space lit by festoon lights where DJs and acoustic music play on Friday nights and weekends. In 2025, Italia Lane was named Best Casual Dining Restaurant and Best Pizza Restaurant at the Restaurant & Catering Awards for Excellence in South East Queensland, recognition of its dedication to authentic flavours and warm hospitality. Family-owned and proud of it, the restaurant caters to weddings, engagement parties and corporate functions in one of Brisbane's better function spaces.
