FIRMA Italian

Situated within Emporium Hotel South Bank, FIRMA Italian is the hotel's signature restaurant and a refined expression of regional Italian dining in the heart of Brisbane. Inspired by the warmth and generosity of Italian trattorias, FIRMA blends traditional hospitality together with a contemporary perspective, creating an experience that feels considered, atmospheric and welcoming.

The interiors embrace soft ambient lighting, stone accents, organic textures and warm, earthy tones. Intimate seating and thoughtfully layered lighting encourage guests to settle in, connect and linger around the table. The result is a sophisticated yet approachable dining room, equally suited to relaxed midweek meals and milestone celebrations.

Italian chef Alba Rizzo leads the FIRMA kitchen, drawing on her upbringing in Lombardy and a deep understanding of Italy's diverse regional traditions. Her cuisine is grounded in authenticity, craftsmanship and quality, pairing time-honoured Italian techniques and premium ingredients with exceptional seafood and seasonal produce sourced from Queensland providores.
