Why it's worth checking out
L'Unico Trattoria Italiano sits on Vasey Esplanade at Trinity Beach, one of Cairns's loveliest northern beaches. A much-loved Italian trattoria, it makes the most of its beachfront position — combining quality, authentic Italian cooking and good drinks with a relaxed, characterful setting and a gorgeous outlook over the beach, the kind of crowd-pleasing spot that's become a Trinity Beach favourite.
The appeal is that combination of quality Italian food, a good drinks offering and a fantastic beachfront Trinity Beach location, ideal for a relaxed lunch, a special dinner, a meal with friends or drinks with a sea view. Quality Italian in a lovely beachfront setting is a winning combination, and L'Unico has clearly won over a big, loyal following of locals and visitors.
With a 4.3 rating from more than 2,700 reviews, it's clearly a popular, well-loved spot. Menus, drinks lists, opening hours and pricing change with the seasons, and a popular beachfront restaurant fills up over weekends and holidays, so it's worth checking current details and booking directly where needed before you go — particularly for a weekend, a group or a table with a beach view at Trinity Beach.
