Breakfast from six. Italian until nine.
Rasa is a little Italian kitchen and bar on the Boulevard. Organic coffee, acai bowls and benedicts from first light, then housemade gnocchi, pizzas and Moreton Bay bug when the sun goes down.
Open 6am to 9pm
Every day of the week, breakfast through to dinner.
Dine in, takeaway, delivery

Bar, cocktails and BYO wine
Cocktails and wine at the bar, or bring your own bottle.
All day at Rasa
Reviving heritage flavours for the modern palate
That line is Rasa's own, and it is the whole idea. The dishes are the Italian classics, cooked properly: the lasagna is hand layered in house, the gnocchi and ravioli are made here, the hollandaise and the napoli are made from scratch.
The room is small and quiet enough to talk, with green banquettes, a timber-slat wall and the mural of a woman with her glass of wine watching over the tables. Regulars come for breakfast, come back for dinner, and tell their friends.
