Welcome to Mad Over Italian - Moi

“ MOI is a lovely restaurant located in a small shopping centre in Hope Island. There is outdoor seating as well as indoor and the staff are friendly. The menu is not huge but that is a good thing, and they change it so you won’t get bored. The food was delicious, a selection of entrees: mini pizza bites, calamari fritti, fried burrata and caprese salad and mussels for the main. The pizzas and pasta also looked good. Plenty of parking including the underground car park although the centre does get very busy. plenty of parking including underground parking ”

“ I don’t understand how this place is not packed. Fantastic lunch special. Very generous serve of pasta or full size pizza plus whole garlic bread each and a full glass of wine or beer for $26. Highly recommend. ”

“ Absolutely amazing! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a smile and felt very welcome. All staff were outstanding. Very friendly and professional. Cocktails were delicious and very pretty. Food was just as delicious. We had such a great time tonight and cannot wait to return. For a Thursday night, it was quite busy however, everything was perfect! Thank you guys. You did an outstanding job tonight. ”

“ My wife and I came for dinner, both ordered the carbonara as it’s our favourite dish and it didn’t disappoint! We had a lovely meal and the staff were all so friendly and helpful. ”

“ We had a truly wonderful dining experience at MOI, and it’s one that deserves special recognition—especially for the exceptional customer service. These days, it feels rare to encounter service that is genuinely attentive, thoughtful, and warm, but this place delivered all of that and more. From the moment we were seated, the staff was welcoming and professional. The food was excellent, but what stood out most was how the team handled a longer-than-expected wait (which, honestly, wasn’t even that long considering how busy they were at the time). They kept us informed, were very apologetic, and kindly offered to make our dessert complimentary as a gesture of goodwill. When we chose not to accept the offer and insisted on paying, they were genuinely grateful, which spoke volumes about their integrity and appreciation for their guests. Overall, this was a fantastic dining experience with authentic Italian food and truly exceptional service. It’s refreshing to see a restaurant that values its customers so highly, and we will absolutely be returning and recommending it to others. ”

“ I recently dined at this lovely Italian restaurant and had an amazing experience! The food was absolutely delicious, with fresh ingredients and authentic flavors. The shrimp pasta was a standout—perfectly cooked al dente pasta with juicy, flavorful shrimp in a light but rich sauce. The Margherita pizza was simple yet perfect, with a crispy thin crust, fresh tomato sauce, creamy mozzarella, and fragrant basil. To balance the meal, we also ordered the Rucola (arugula) salad, which was fresh and lightly dressed with a tangy balsamic glaze, Parmesan shavings, and cherry tomatoes—a great complement to the richer dishes. ”

“ Had the ham and pineapple pizza, the schnitzel panini on fresh baked dough, and the handmade gnocchi. Everything was packed with flavour, well seasoned, and really satisfying. You can tell they care about what they’re serving. The space is comfortable and stylish, and you can actually have a conversation without shouting. Staff were friendly, professional, and paid attention without hovering. Would happily go back. ”

“ Very yummy! I hsd very nice cocktail and the waitress brought out pencils and colouring in pages for my children. It was a nice touch to keep them occupied after a long day of shopping for Christmas. The staff were very friendly, lots of smiles. The pizza we shared was very good, my children ate everything on their plates too. It was nice and cool inside. The only downside was the sun, even with the shades pulled down it was still very bright! ”
