"Spiaggia This iconic Italian eatery has been delivering modern fine-dining experiences to Gold Coast crowds for more than 30 years. Those decades have given Spiaggia plenty of time to acquire the reputation it boasts today—one built on several James Beard Award nominations, not to mention its one-Michelin star status since 2011. Credit goes to chef and owner Tony Mantuano’s commitment to only the best Italian ingredients and preparations, from gnocchi with white truffles to wood-grilled scallops, a seasonally changing plate that’s become a quick favorite for newcomers and regulars alike (including Barack Obama)."
