Lola Chan

Ordered spaghetti bolognese , nothing fancy but it was so good! Cheap and fast, byo no charge. Small is enough to share between the two of us but we got a cream base pasta coz it's better mixing it up!

Hams Solo

Large gnocchi , was just that, large. so much and so tasty. I'm adding this joint to my favorites. very reasonably priced too.

Linda Hong

Great little casual pasta place. Choose your own pasta and flavour combination. Penne Arrabbiata was deliciously hot, loved the King Prawn spaghetti too.

Mohannad A. Basha

Had the ravioli with primavera sauce. Was absolutely amazing and the cream sauce was well balanced. Rich yet light. Wonderful.

Stacey~Marie

Yummy!!! Loved the penne basil garlic pesto with chicken . Very fresh, fast & affordable . Highly recommend this joint for a quick bite in trendy Newtown!

Henry Lee

Delicious freshly-made pastas , open kitchen . Regular portions good sized; large portions are huge noms. Limited seating in and out, many here for takeaway

Elke

Fresh, hot and delicious pasta . Service was fast but garlic bread was not hot. They offer a dinner and movie deal for the Dendy. Great value .

Great tasting pasta and cheap too. The small sized bowl is sufficient for most people

David O'Brien

Extensive menu where everything is made fresh to order. Really good portion sizes and reasonably priced. Great fast service .

Janey Elmgreen

This place is amazing. So cheap and so good! $16 for seafood marinara , only downside was it didn't have mussels in it. Service wasn't great but it was busy. BYO

J

Most of the sauces are very good, especially the seafood options . However, I don't recommend the chicken peppercorn .

Juliette C

Salmon risotto was very good but King prawns spaghetti didn't have much flavour.

George Bechara

Everything is good here. Try everything

Jamie Yates

Sit up the front and watch all the action - it smells amazing. Upsizing for the Chicken Combo is always a good idea.

All Day Breakfast

Great quick pasta at reasonable prices. If they opened up franchises the owners would be millionaires.

René Schüler

Really tasty pasta , fast service despite queue, lively atmosphere

Jacques

Hectic place. The service is a little slow & unapologetic. Spaghetti with king prawns was very good but the veal with mushroom cream sauce was dry.

Shannon

Great price, service & food! Pick your pasta then sauce

Rui Hang Yong

linguine is good here, and all pasta here is perfect al dente

Tutku

Best ravioli and pesto in town !

Maurine Dayupay

The chicken in the chicken lemon was abit overcooked. The wild mushroom risotto , didnt seem like a risotto , although flavour was sort of there. Rate it a 2.5/5

Tani

Perfect! So delicious. And cheap !!

Gregg Amos

Risotto was delicious. Service fast. Bustling

Omalee De Silva

Spaghetti with number 18 and 17 is awesome ????

It’s ok but not that wow. Only Carbonara and Chicken Sauce are worth to try.

Deepak Goyal

Pasta with arrabiata is awesome..

Latisha W

I love this place, great pasta and great value . My favourite is Linguine Bosciaola

Karlla Sousa

Food is okay but customer service is not, even in a weekday and an empy place. Grump lady on the counter and bored staff . Too much hype for so little. Overall frustrating.

Ozgenre

Try the Fettuccini Chicken Peppercorn

Brendon Reece Comber

Get the Pasta with a piece of veal of chicken schnitzel

$20 for a Chicken/Veal dish and any pasta ! Awesome value!

Brilliant food and speed of service. BIG round of applause!!!

Get Linguine w/ Puttanesca and a side of garlic breads . Glorious!

Janey Elmgreen

I WISH they did delivery . Soooo good

Lorena Diaz

Meh....don’t think they have good hygiene standards, saw some spaghetti being handled with bare hands and put into bowls

Ryan Mortimer

Still impossible to fault it!

Jenna Brown

Warning! Unless you like really REALLY spicy food don't get the arribiata! It's burning my taste buds off!

Jenny L

Freshest pasta around! Best gnocchi !
