… by this point it feels like the Gold Coast and Torino could practically be twin cities, and we have the perfect place for your pre-show dinner. Just across the road from the GCCEC is Gemelli– a restaurant run by Italian twins! Their philosophy is to use a combination of imported products from Italy, and high-quality local quality seafood and meat.

For a chic Italian bar & dining experience, look no further than Orzo – a contemporary coastal Italian eatery that is also just a stone’s throw from the venue

A little further down the road in Burleigh Heads is La Bella Cellar. Offering a wine list that covers everything from Italian imports to local Australian drops, this is a must-visit for any discerning wine lover (and if fried gorgonzola or a rustic pizza peaks your interest, their food menu will also have you covered).

And don’t forget to grab a gelato as you head over to the GCCEC, My Gelato in Broadbeach can sort you out with a scoop or two (or three, or six…)

With all of this on offer (and so much more!) the Gold Coast is the perfect place to enhance your Eurovision – Australia Decides experience with a taste of la bella vita!
