Re: Restaurants where's the nicest...
King of Kings in the Valley for Yum Cha (Chinese) or else the Landmark at Sunnybank (get in early for both esp Sunday yum cha - it is manic!)
There's another chinese place in the west end but can't remember the name of it right now.
For italian, I love trio romanos on the gold coast highway at Mermaid beach / Miami - it's a tiny hole in the wall restaurant that seats about 20 but has fantastic homemade food (should note here that I havent been in a few years due to being inthe UK, but am planning to go there again next week!)
Kis Cucina at Graceville is apparently very good, although the owner can be a bit overbearing and over solicitous.

Re these examples, King of Kings and the landmark can be overwhelming - I think KoK is better for atmosphere.

Re: Restaurants where's the nicest...
That's a tough one - I try to take the attitude that you bring your own atmosphere with you. Eg Trio Romano - tiny place, yes formica tables (albeit with tablecloths) and on the highway - but I've had some of the best meals ever there, just because the staff are great (pappa works the pizza counter at the front, mamma is in the kitchen and the kids serve), the food is good and beacuse it is small you only need two of you to create a really good atmosphere.

Re: Restaurants where's the nicest...
Was impressed they but effort into presentation had an excellent menu etc. only down side is Aussies can't do atmosphere tables and decor nice but they had the lights on full brightness and aga do as part of the background music.
Would still recommend it though.

Re: Restaurants where's the nicest...
I'm still on the look out for the best Italian overall. The one at Warner tried and didn't get points due to infant school height seating and poor service and average food.
