How we read reviews →A hatted Little Bourke Street pasta bar built around a marble bar and open kitchen.
Intimate and buzzy. a small, marble-bar laneway room with an open kitchen, cramped tables and a lively, sometimes loud, dinner-service hum.
An open kitchen with a marble bar for solo or walk-in seating, handmade pasta made in view of diners, complimentary sourdough focaccia, and a seasonal truffle set menu.
Widely praised for authentic Italian pasta technique and handmade dough, though a small number of critics dispute the authenticity claim entirely.
Sits at the pricier end for pasta, with tasting menus over $100. most reviewers say the technique justifies it, though a vocal minority find portions small for the price.
