Best pizzas we’ve ever had! The food was absolutely delicious, with fresh ingredients and authentic flavours. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the restaurant was clean, well-organised, and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was warm, lively, and inviting. Highly recommend!

First time I've ever had house made pasta for a function. Dinner - Flawless service & food. Definitely best pizza in the area. Shout-out to Bart, Simon, Phil & Mel. These guys are amazing.

I've been travelling for 2 weeks so I've eaten out a number of times on the road. After taking my first bite of pizza, my immediate thought was "finally, a 4.8 that is actually a 4.8!" (the establishment's rating as of the time of this review). The pizza was delicious - the chips were standard fare, but done well. Fresh, hot, crispy and well-salted. The complimentary chilli oil was a good match with the tomato sauce for the chips. The service was exceptional. I didn't wait long for food, and the atmosphere was pleasant with Jazzy renditions of popular songs playing at a good volume.

Today I had the pleasure of visiting Lily’s Restaurant Bar & Café on Sunday, 7 February at 12:00pm, and I was genuinely blown away by the experience. The staff were incredible. I had the chance to speak with a couple of them, including one of the partner’s sons (I’m sorry I forgot his name). Let me just say, I was so impressed by how friendly, kind, and welcoming everyone was. I’ve been to many restaurants and travelled to many places around the world, and the level of respect, honour, and service provided at Lily’s was truly outstanding. The food was absolutely top-notch in quality, flavour, and freshness. The coffee was amazing — you can really taste the difference with their own roasted beans. It was smooth, rich, and beautifully balanced. The beef cheek served on mashed potato with gravy was exceptional. The beef was perfectly cooked and literally melted in your mouth. The pasta bolognese was just as impressive — creamy, rich, and full of flavour with high-quality ingredients throughout. Overall, an amazing dining experience. I highly recommend Lily’s Restaurant Bar & Café and will definitely be returning.

Six of us visited Lily’s Café on a bustling Thursday night and honestly, I’ve never seen the place so full. There was a birthday, what looked suspiciously like an early Christmas work function, and a handful of families and friends all packed in, yet somehow, the noise level stayed pleasantly civilised. Decor? Lovely. Atmosphere? Warm. Vibes? Very “Italian family gathering without the yelling”. We kicked things off with the antipasto on the long board, beautifully presented with prosciutto draped so delicately it looked like laundry day on Nonna’s balcony. Mortadella, ham, salami, parmigiano, burrata, olives, grissini (ALWAYS a winner), zucchini flowers stuffed with ricotta (crispy perfection, not a drop of oil), and calamari fried just right. A very strong start. Mains arrived with mixed results. Two pizzas disappeared quickly, so I’m assuming they were good enough to silence their owners. The Coral Trout looked fantastic — and given the empty plate, I’d say it lived a good second life. Then… the slight downhill slope began. I ordered the Gamberi in Tegame, which was tasty, but the sauce was so thick it felt like the prawns were playing hide-and-seek. Lovely flavour, but I ess
