OTTO Ristorante

Head chef Will Cowper is the master responsible for OTTO’s premium Southern Italian-inspired menu and it’s laid-back Brisbane attitude, encouraged by the restaurant’s picturesque riverside location. His extensive experience – blended with the skills of Antoine Heurtier, OTTO’s head sommelier, whose wine lists are revered for their lively flair and growing accolades – is what gives OTTO it’s sense of effortless refinement. In this beloved waterfront venue, Will preps house-made spaghettini paired with champagne lobster dressed in garlic, chilli, white wine, lemon butter and bottarga, local bay squid aqua pazza with semi-dried tomatoes, pork loin with hazelnut cream and chargrilled zucchini, the the OTTO Reserve – a premium cut of 270-day grain-fed Rangers Valley 100% Black Angus with an impressive MBS 6+. There’s also the restaurant’s signature tiramisu, award-winning wine selection and stellar six-course tasting menu to excite your palette. Keeping in line with OTTO’s distinctive menu, the restaurant also offers two dining styles – the a la carte ristorante for those seeking a more polished experience, and the casual Osteria bar option – along with a slew of private spaces for more personalised events. Oh, and there are DJs on Fridays and live music on Sundays, just in case you thought OTTO was missing something.
