Step into little Italy at Noosa Marina

Chef Davide Benati snipping fresh herbs for his masterpiece.

Did you know that the perfect pizza is cooked in just 90 seconds at 450 degrees, in a real wood-fired pizza oven made by a third-generation family in Italy from hand-crafted brick and shipped to Noosa?
Your mouth will be watering even before you take the first bite, so make sure you start with the Italian negroni cocktail in your hands.
The restaurant’s colour scheme alone reflects a Tuscan palette, with splashes of olive green, warm wood and crisp blue.
But the delicious aromas will whisk you away to Italy before you can say ciao!
Italian Marina is the brainchild of new Noosa resident, Michelangelo.
Born and raised in Florence, Michelangelo promises only the very best, authentic Italian cuisine.
With 17 years of experience in the industry, Italian Marina is his third successful venue.
And what could be better than the Noosa Shire? Italian head chef Davide Benati will be using Noosa’s best local produce to create astonishing dishes, hand-made pasta, following traditional Tuscan recipes.
“We are creating a great atmosphere, which will become unique when added to the uninterrupted view over the Noosa River.”
Chef Davide was born and raised in Modena, and began his career at age of 13, working in his father’s restaurant. Over the years he has worked in some of the top restaurants in Italy and Australia, including the three-star Michelin-rated Florentine Enoteca Pinchiorri, Biota, Ormeggio.
