Top 5 Pasta Shops in Australia

32 Raglan St, Daylesford VIC 3460, Australia

“Skip straight to dessert. One of the best chocolate mousse’s ever tasted. The pistachio cream at the bottom really balances out the dark chocolate mousse, nice crunch with the toppings too. The entree and main were good, but the show stopper was the dessert.”

140 North Terrace, Adelaide SA 5000, Australia

“Our fave Italian restaurant in Adelaide!! Well located opposite the casino. Great service, amazing food! Lovely cocktails and wines. But the FOOD!!!! OMG!!! the BEST!”

1558 Frankston - Flinders Rd, Tyabb VIC 3913, Australia

“Always great friendly service. Delicious Pasta the fettuccine creamy carbonara is a hit with the family and Scrumptious Pizza with thick topping with plenty of ingredients without fail and who doesnt love a pizza/pasta perfect to eat for another meal the next day if any leftovers. Quick pick up. Sometimes lenthy delivery times. Very popular i have family that visited and still years later talk about the best pizza they ever had and it was La Lupas. Cozy and cute small shop with kitchen in view. They keep it warm for your trip home with foil. No dining area inside but a small bench to wait on out of the weather. Can be super busy at times so not always room to move about. Yum love this place always come back cant go wrong if you love thick topping and food made with thought.”

29 Lackey St, Summer Hill NSW 2130, Australia

“Overpriced food, bad food quality, staff not friendly, food used to be great and now has definitely gone down hill”

126 Chapel St, Windsor VIC 3181, Australia

“Our family absolutely loves Farro! The Windsor team is top notch: from meal suggestions, knowing our favorite drinks when we arrive and making us feel like we are part of the Farro family. The food is divine. We’ve yet to have anything that wasn’t full of incredible flavors. The freshness of their pesto and dough is out of this world. It is our top recommended on Chapel St”

Shop AM5 Ada Lane, 46 James St, Fortitude Valley QLD 4006, Australia

“Incredible experience. $84pp set menu was beautiful. Food was presented well, good portion sizes and tasted amazing. Adding the prawns was a great decision. Service was great. Caitlin was professional, attentive and made our night that extra bit special. Ambience beautifully relaxing and romantic. Highly recommend.”

158 Enmore Rd, Enmore NSW 2042, Australia

“What an awesome Jen of a place. Hospitable with a family run restaurant which is getting hard to find. Charming bistro feel with beautiful memorable photographs. Unpretentious, delightful and then there is the food. We tried over 50% of the menu and loved every dish! Fresh, made with heart and served with a smile: an absolute must and cannot wait to come back”

105 View St, Bendigo VIC 3550, Australia

“The food was delicious, with authentic flavors that truly impressed. An added bonus was the lemon tart dessert, which was both citrusy and refreshing, providing the perfect end to a fantastic meal. This Italian gem is definitely worth a visit!”

116 Surrey St, Darlinghurst NSW 2010, Australia

“ordered the zucchini flower, mortadella for entree and the Spaghetti Cacio É Pepe, and the pasta special which was a ragu. Unfortunately not amazing. Pasta was a bit cold, cacio was really not very good and I’ve had much better elsewhere. A little disappointed. Zucchini flowers were quite good though. Expected more from the rave reviews but wasn’t to my taste. Lovely service”

G01/8 Century Cct, Baulkham Hills NSW 2153, Australia

“I was brought to this restaurant for dinner and seated outside near the lake. The ambience was excellent, and the waitresses were friendly. Food was served prompt, and this is where it stops. I ordered the dish of the day, which was whiting fish. The portion was unbelievably small for $36. Only had 6 pieces of thumb sized fish wrapped in bacon and served with a few pieces of dried tomatoes. Couldn't agree more with another google reviewer on the price and serving size.”

227 Lygon St, Carlton VIC 3053, Australia

“Late night dining at its best. Sitting outside on a balmy night in Carlton.. A fantastic welcome...super friendly, authentic Italian staff...happy to see us all gathered together and experience a great meal. Our pasta dishes were fresh …”

493 High St, Northcote VIC 3070, Australia

“A vibrant local Italian restaurant. It’s a cut above your normal Italian place. They have a nice menu and good specials. The gnocchi was very good and the pasta ravioli special with goats cheese was great too. Interesting wine list too. Our favourite wine was the house Pinot Grigio. Service was terrific throughout. Our only criticism is that the place is a bit noisy”

151 Waverley Rd, Malvern East VIC 3145, Australia

“Pizza is okay but... First of all, it doesn't match what's said in the menu. Meat lovers pizza stated salami, sausages and chicken. And I thought to myself that's great, I don't like pork and I really feel like chicken. In fact I got pizza with no chicken whatsoever and full of ham on it. A bit disappointed as I don't eat ham. I have a question to the owner : why doesn't your menu match what you actually cook? And second of all, I called to make a pick up order, they said 20 min. When I arrived after just over 20min, they didn't even start cooking it. So I had to wait another 10-15 min until it is done. What was the point of ordering pick up and waiting for 20 min? Service leaves a lot to be desired.”

5/97 Rokeby Rd, Subiaco WA 6008, Australia

“Despite its high ratings and awards, my experience at this restaurant left me scratching my head. The prices were through the roof, but the food didn't match the hype. Each dish felt like a letdown, lacking the wow factor that I expected. The menu boasted a variety of options, but nothing stood out as exceptional. It felt like I was paying for the reputation rather than the actual culinary experience. The flavors were ordinary at best, and the presentation didn't justify the hefty price tags. The ambiance and service were fine, but they couldn't compensate for the disappointment on my plate. Leaving the restaurant, I couldn't shake the feeling of being overcharged for a subpar meal. Despite the accolades, it was an underwhelming experience that made me question the basis of those high ratings. Sometimes, even with all the awards, a restaurant might miss the mark, and unfortunately, this one did.”

450 Toorak Rd, Toorak VIC 3142, Australia

“We accidentally found this place and the food tasted so good especially the portions of them, dishes came in really big size and with patiently introduced by staff. The drinks are also fine, we enjoyed ourselves at Romeo’s and we would like to visit again.”

122-124 Peel St, North Melbourne VIC 3051, Australia

“Excellent food. Good portions. Pasta with an authentic Italian taste (5*). The tiramisu was well presented but with too much cream (3*).”

40 Landsborough Parade, Golden Beach QLD 4551, Australia

“Had a birthday catch up lunch with my son. I had the beetroot risotto… hands down the tastiest dish I’ve had for a long time. My son had the ragout penne pasta. I tasted it and definitely ordering that next time. We sat there for a couple hours… very relaxing atmosphere. Service was impeccable. Prices were very reasonable. This will be a restaurant I’ll happily recommend. I’ve been I long time fan of their cannoli”

395 Wattletree Rd, Malvern East VIC 3146, Australia

“Hands down best restaurant in the area. Food is always fresh and absolutely delicious. Hats off to the chefs and whole kitchen team. Frank and his team run the front house beautifully. Warm, welcoming, chats to everyone, makes you feel at home. And team behind the bar make the best cocktails (Italian Juice is my favourite). Steak and seafood is always great - lobster taco for entree always a go to. Special pasta I had last time - bugs in a light tomato sauce - best pasta I’ve ever eaten! Do yourself a favour and try this, you’ll soon find yourself regular!”

1-3/101 Bellevue Rd, Figtree NSW 2525, Australia

“I have to say it was a terrible experience for the entire family. I was very upset at the state of the food and the service they provided. Firstly we requested a Steak at medium and quite frankly it appeared burnt and tasted like charcoal. Then one of the pizzas wasn’t cooked. The staff explained that it was just how they looked but another of the pizzas looked completely different. A whole other problem was it took them 1 hour to actually provide the subpar food. I don’t know what was happening in the kitchen but they clearly weren’t cooking. Overall the experience was terrible wouldn’t recommend go somewhere else.”

7 Lonsdale St, Braddon ACT 2612, Australia

“What a great find! My wife booked this place based on reviews and boy it did not disappoint! The service was absolutely incredible, matched by the amazing food. Honestly we can’t rave about this place enough. Everyone was so friendly, accomodating and helpful. There was no ‘one standout dish’… everything was amazing, especially the tiramisu! Do yourself a favour and visit. Thanks Italian and Sons.”
