We have been waiting for this Italian restaurant and it is finally here. Great view of the ocean and a friendly and calm atmosphere. My friend and I had the Gnocchi and it was amazing and the Bruschetta was nicely toasted, seasoned and light. The gnocchi was cooked to perfection and correctly salted. Much more filling than it looked and I just wish I took photos but I ate it too fast. Will definitely revisit and I recommend it to everyone if they want to try something different. More than worth the price and the trip. Update: I couldn't wait and had the dessert. Tiramisu, more like 'dear I miss you', cause I wanted to take it home. Right amount of coffee added enough bitterness and the cream was light and fluffy with just enough sweet to balance the bitter.

Nice food with wonderful view. This Cafe is on top of Flagstaff Hill in Bowen, very short ride from the Bowen Jetty. The views from here are amazing - all turquoise water and islands. We came here for lunch on two different occasions. First time was perfect - the carnivore pizza and mushroom risotto were superb. Second time, spicy meaty pizza was burnt around the edges and the meat toppings were not great. Coral trout was good but the asparagus was inedible - dry, and included the ends which should be broken off. The whole dish was a rather unusual combination but due to the fish still quite good. Service was reasonable.

What a wonderful night for our family dinner.....as we arrived we were met with large welcoming smiles, with a beautiful ambience of music, at just the right level to allow for easy and enjoyable conversation. With the best seat in the house. The staff, chefs, and owners allowed my mother, who has food allergies, to make adjustments to the dishes she chose with ease. So grateful. Now to the food.... I thought the last time I came with my friend for lunch it was perfection on a plate, and now again with that same love, care, and attention, the dishes surpassed perfection itself. The Starters.... Lemon Pepper Calamari was cook to perfection, and the Garlic Sauce that accompanied the delicate golden rings of Calamari was a dream and a rich taste sensation. The Chrunky Bruschetta was once again a delight for my taste buds. The Bacon and Cheese Garlic Bread was so morish, we all gave a little giggle as we pulled the pieces apart with the thrill of stringy cheese. The mains...... The Napoli Sauce that companied the Lamb Ragu was perfection, as the Gnocchi melted in your mouth. Such a generous serving. The Chicken and Muchroom Gnocchi was full of the perfect amount of salt, cheese, and umami flourvous. The Spaghetti Pecastore was perfection....no suprise. The seafood was cooked to pefection as each piece was huged with a the rich Napoli Sauce. It and was a delight for my Scicilan husbands taste buds. To end the night..... The Tiramsu was again the perfect blend of bitter and sweet. We all agreed that 360 on the Hill really is a stand-out spot for any of your family dinners or a place to catch up around delightfully and delish food, or a take away for their delightful and scrumptious Pizza's. We will be back. Thankyou to all the staff and the chefs for a delight evening. From the Kidd and Thomas Family.

First thing to say is there are new owners at 360 On The Hill. Myself, being married to a Sicilian with a Scicilan mother in law....I have to say this is one of the finest Italian meals I have ever had....my husband and mother in law would be so proud of the lovely husband and wife team who now call the little Restaurant on the Hill in Bowen home now. I had the Chunky Bruschetta for starter and it was full of flavour that made my mouth come alive. The house bread was delicious and was the perfect base for the flavour filled tomatoe and herb, topped with an even more divine Balsamic Vinegar Glaze. I then had the Gnocchi with slow cooked Lamb Ragu and Napoli Sauce, all I can say is two words "Molto Bella", the love taken to make this sause was outstanding and the freshly made Gnocchi pillowed the Lamb and sauce with perfection. This is now my new and favourite spot for a quick lunch or breaky or Dinner and in two weeks a perfect spot for our 22nd Wedding Anniversary. I can't wait to taste the entire menu. Lastly, the kindness, attention to detail and friendliness of the staff was 10 out of 10. Thankyou for all your efforts in making our first experience with you, 10 out of 10 and memorable. Update... I could not wait I had to have the Tiramisu, what a punch of flavour in a delicate glass of cream, coffee and biscuit. Just with the right amount of bitter and sweet. Please make this a stop on your way through Bowen, if your staying for awhile or if you live in this beautiful part of the world. You will remember, you will be back for sure....see you there. Update.....week later.....dinner.... What a wonderful night for our regular family dinner.....as we arrived we were met with large welcoming smiles, with a beautiful ambience of music at just the right level to allow for easy and enjoyable conversation. The staff, chefs, and owners allowed my mother, who has food allergies, to have made adjustments to the menu with ease. Now to the food....I thought the last time we came was perfection, and somehow with the same love, care, and attention, the meals surpassed perfection itself. The starters....

Thankyou to all the staff and the chefs for a delight evening. Kidd and Thomas Family. Update.... 6th May 2025.....yes we are back for lunch. As always the service and food was not only perfection but full of love and care. The lasagna was not only a very generous size, but the pasta was cooked and melted in your mouth, the bechamèl and tomatoe sauce enveloped the delicate layers of this divine dish. Yet again the meal surpassed my expectations. The Aracini ball (Bolognese today) while there was only 2, they were voluptuously sized, with a crisp fried exterior, enveloping a soft center of rice, spices and Bolognese. It was tooth tenter, with the perfect amount of bite. Just divine.
