Can't believe this place has been open for 10 years and I only just discovered it. I came here with my partner last night after a couple of our friends told us it was their favourite Italian in Bondi. We came at 8pm on a Sunday evening and it was packed so we put our name down and came back later.
There are 16 options for pasta "sauces" that include a variety of meat, vegetables, herbs, etc. Then you choose from home-made pastas: gnocchi, fettuccine, spinach/ricotta ravioli, veal ravioli, penne or spaghetti. Per our friends suggestion we went with the fettucine pasta with the Bassano sauce (italian sausage, exotic mushrooms, porcini, fresh basil and sage, Napoli, dash of cream). It was AMAZING! The home-made noodles were cooked to perfection and the sauce was absolutely delicoius. It was $25 for the secondo (main) size which I think is reasonable.
We also ordered the Parmagiana Catania (eggplant parmesan) that comes with bread and a side salad. It wasn't anything unique but the portion size was huge and the side salad helped balance out the heavy cheesy dish.
Oh yeah, the garlic bread we ordered as a starter was awesome.
With 2 mains, garlic bread and 1 glass of wine the bill came to $66 for two people. Not bad!
We'll be back to eat our way through the rest of their menu! read more
