Pasta is one of my favourite things in the world, so I was excited to see a place which specialises in delicious fresh pasta. Super cute interior, modern design, only seating about 10 inside. The ambiance was laid back, warm, with a fun, family friendly environment. There is also seating outside for when times get hectic, although I think the majority of customers choose the take-away option. I wouldn’t blame them, as the food comes in a trendy brown paper bag. Perfect for lunches, dinner or an afternoon snack.
The beautiful typography is carried all the way through their branding, with the menu including infographics of pasta. The deal is – you pick your pasta, and then you pick your sauce to stir through, or a salad. It’s impossible to go wrong, as everything on the menu looks delicious.

Gnocchi was ultra fluffy and moist, and sauce was deliciously flavoursome. I would have chosen this sauce if I liked rocket – it’s one of the very few ingredients I am still learning to like.
At first glance, I judged the serving size as it was tiny and was immediately disappointed – however, by the end of our meals, we were full and very satisfied. The girls even had about four gnocchi pieces left over (which I ate of course.) At around $12 a dish, this pasta is great quality and excellent value. I will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu.
Pesto has a tendency to be quite rich, and it was also applied onto this dish. I personally love pesto, and enjoyed the three spoonfuls.

Savoury food is limited and includes a couple of daily ciabatta specials. I visited recently with my friend Em, managing to get a table without waiting (in a café that has about 12 or so seats inside, this must be an achievement).
Naturally I couldn’t go past the pork belly roll. I ordered a small one (which cutely came with crackling ears!) and thank goodness for that choice because small was not so small. I was almost too full for cake afterwards. Almost. Fortunately, I am a trooper.
