How we read reviews →Chapel Street's fast-casual pasta counter serving generous portions at accessible prices.
Lively, high-energy pasta bar on one of Melbourne's busiest strips. Music tends towards loud and the kitchen operates at speed during peak hours. functional and fun rather than refined. The open kitchen and counter-service format make it feel energetic and youthful.
iPad ordering system for easy self-serve with photo menu. 14 fresh daily sauces with customisable vegetable additions. Available on Uber Eats and DoorDash for delivery. Gluten-free pasta available on request. Regular and large sizing from $12.90. Also has a Hawthorn location.
Italian comfort food heritage from founders Lorenzo and Isaac, who built the menu around the Italian pasta sauces they grew up eating. Not traditional trattoria. crowd-pleasing Italian-Australian comfort food made fresh daily.
Strong value proposition. generous portions from $12.90 for a regular. Reviewers consistently praise quantity relative to price. Some inconsistency in portion protein noted (chicken or meat can be light in some orders), which tempers the score slightly.
