RADICI - Roman Kitchen & Bar

RADICI - Roman Kitchen & Bar brings the food traditions of Rome to Shop 2/99 Griffith St, Coolangatta. The restaurant combines a Roman kitchen with a wine bar in a modern coastal setting, offering a relaxed approach to Italian dining on the Gold Coast.

The menu is centred on classic Roman flavours, with an emphasis on simplicity, quality and traditional preparation. Pasta is a key part of the offering, while Roman-style pizza provides a thinner, crispier alternative to the softer, thicker styles associated with other parts of Italy. The food is presented as a genuine expression of Roman cooking rather than a heavily reworked interpretation.

Smaller plates and snacks provide options for sharing or pairing with a drink. The menu includes crisp fried items, bruschetta, crostini, salads, cured meats, cheeses and seafood, creating a range that works across a full meal, a lighter visit or an aperitivo-style catch-up. Vegetarian choices are included, with selected dishes identified on the menu.

Wine is central to the experience. Radici’s wine bar focuses on bottles and wines by the glass from different Italian regions, giving diners a way to explore styles from across the country alongside pasta and pizza. The wine selection adds a relaxed but considered element to the restaurant, without taking the focus away from the food.

The overall character is casual, contemporary and connected to Rome, with a coastal setting that suits relaxed lunches, dinners, drinks and shared plates. The menu’s mix of substantial pasta, thin pizza and smaller Roman-inspired dishes makes the venue suitable for diners seeking a straightforward Italian meal, a social table or a glass of Italian wine with something savoury.

Located in Coolangatta, RADICI offers a Roman-focused alternative within the local dining scene. Its appeal rests on a clear regional identity, a modern bar atmosphere and food that stays close to the flavours and formats of Roman cuisine.
