La Calabrese, rooted in the rich culinary heritage of Italy, was established in Melbourne in 2019 with a vision to offer a genuine Italian dining experience. Despite the challenges of the pandemic, our dedication to the traditional art of Italian cooking has been unwavering. In the spirit of this tradition, La Calabrese at Ocean came to life.

​

Nestled beside the stunning beach of Gold Coast, within the Meriton Surfers Paradise Suites, our restaurant is a sanctuary for those seeking the authentic flavors of Italy. Our dishes, a homage to the timeless techniques of Italian gastronomy, celebrate the 'Past, Present and Future' of our culture. We pay tribute to our roots with every meal, blending the finest Italian-imported ingredients with the bounty of local produce, ensuring a culinary journey that's both authentic and deeply connected to the Italian way of life.
