Spaghetti & Jazz

Spaghetti & Jazz is an Italian ristorante and pizzeria in Robina, Gold Coast, bringing together made-in-house food, wine and live entertainment. The kitchen focuses on fresh, homemade breads, pizzas, pasta and sauces, with a changing blackboard selection adding variety to the menu. Its approach is described as simple and elegant, using locally grown fruit, vegetables and herbs where possible while drawing on flavours from across Italy. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and lactose-intolerant diners can be catered for on request.

There is more to the venue than dinner alone. Spaghetti & Jazz presents live music across easy listening, jazz, Latin, dance and themed events, with a gig guide available for choosing an evening’s entertainment. The restaurant also offers imported and local wines, beers, cocktails, traditional Italian coffee, teas, hot chocolates and cold drinks. Desserts are given particular attention, and the team promotes wine pairing as part of the experience. Takeaway and delivery are also available, while functions and group bookings can be arranged directly with the venue.

The setting combines a modern rustic restaurant with the feel of a jazz club, creating a space suited to a meal that can continue into an evening of music and dancing. It can work for families and friends sharing a meal, groups attending a function, or diners looking for a relaxed night with live entertainment. The venue’s own customer feedback also points to a cosy interior, attentive service and an atmosphere where guests may stay for the music as well as the food.

Owners Joe and Natalie Palumbo established Spaghetti & Jazz around their shared interest in food, wine, music, dancing and travel. Joe’s background in Florence, Italy, informs the restaurant’s connection to Italian food and hospitality, while Natalie developed her own appreciation for the country through travelling there with him. Together, they have shaped the venue as a place where Italian-inspired dining and music sit side by side, with a welcoming, family-run feel in Robina.
