Pasta Emilia

The best measure of Pasta Emilia comes via the waiter’s genuine look of surprise when I tell him that this is probably the best Italian I’ve ever had.
Pretence does not exist here at all. Only authentic home-​style cooking as if you were visiting your grandmother’s house in the Emilia region of Italy.
Another way to put it: greeted like family, fed like Kings!
You have to try the Strozzapreti with Beef Ragu ($ 26 on Sunday Lunch menu). A Ragu that loyally sticks to the thinnest of pasta like nothing else you’ve experienced here in Sydney.
How they get the pasta so thin is a well kept secret. The Ragu would be hours in the making to capture such big but palatable depth.
Accompanied by the perfect board of antipasti including Salumi (salami), creamy pecorino, prosciutto and pickled vegetables. The bread is served warm here so you better scoop up some lovely vinegar-​infused pickled mushrooms quick smart! ($ 22 Salumi Misti antipasti)
I will definitely return, time and time again.
A well deserved 5 stars.

5 stars! Fantastic Italian restaurant with top quality pasta. You can also buy fresh pasta and sauce to cook at home — the truffle cream is amazing.
I went for lunch with my grandma who has a few dietary restrictions and staff were really helpful and accommodating.
Go for lunch or dinner you will surely enjoy it!

I have used Unilocal to find many restaurants in many city’s all over the world. I have chosen today to be what I believe as my first review. From the moment I walked in I felt like I was going home. From the warm welcomes to the amazing authentic atmosphere. Started with a nice wine from the Emilia region of Italy a 2013 that at first taste needed some time to breath after haveing a friendly conversation with the captain who might have been the owner he was more then welcome to switch out glasses as well as decante my glass before it was served. Now on to the food this being a Sunday and I am traveling for work no matter where I am I make it a point to have a nice bowl of pasta as to keep me happy and remind me of my roots. I started with a cup of the Tazza Di bordo which tonight was duck. Amazing if my mother made duck broth this is wa it would be silky smooth decadent flavor full perfect. Then I moved on to a fresh mixed salad simple fresh good. Then I had a order of the strozzapreti with beef Ragu. FRESH PASTA and they do it right dish came out hot and stayed hot to the last bite gravy was done to prefection. I had asked for crushed red pepper and was politely told they didn’t have it but I was pleasantly surprised when the Capetian or owner brought out the lil jar that I love seeing so much which I haven’t seen at a resturant just at family’s house. The jar was hot red pepper and oil which is let to sit and sit and sit and get hotter and hotter this one simple thing made my day. This all left me wanting more I saw they had gnooci on the menue but not on the preparation I wanted. So I asked if they could make it for me nice and simple which they did in a fresh tomato sauce. Light melt in ur mouth pillows of goodness amazing did I mention that this place is also a pasta factory by day seriously. I finished with a nice homemade tiramisu which I kno was homemade because they make them as individual portion in the same glass wear they use in the resuturant. All in all amazing meal from when I walked in until I left. If you are in Sydney and you want to eat good honest authentic Italian food you need to come here

Now this is an interesting place. I had a pasta craving and decided to try some place new. Walked in and seated myself as there were no staff around (nor customers). Within a few minutes, staff starting milling about, but no-​one bothered to come over. So I sat there and waited. And waited. And waited. Was tempted to continue waiting just to see how long it would go but my hunger got the better of me. So I called over to a waitress for the menu. The food arrived fairly quickly. The beef ragu strozzapreti. The sauce was good, some nice bits and some not so nice bits (aka. the massive hunks of beef that have clearly not cooked for long enough). It was also slightly bland (but then, I like my salt so that could just be me). So I asked for cracked pepper, for which I received a nasty scowl from the waitress. Maybe she was having a bad day. The fresh hand made pasta was amazing. Really really good, and very well cooked. Overall, the food was pretty good — I’d certainly eat here again. Wasn’t so impressed with the service. Am hoping it was just an off day as I wouldn’t mind returning.

If you love pasta like I do you will love this place. It has a beautiful rustic feel to it with retro furniture strewn around. I went here with a large group as part of the Food & WIne festival and was pleasantly surprised. The charcutrie board had some very delicious meat cuts and rustic bread to go with, and the pasta main dish comprising of stuffed ravioli and a side of ragu was delicious. Delicate well balanced flavours and fresh hand rolled pasta, my eyes almost rolled to the back of my head with satisfaction at the first bite! You can also buy their organic fresh pasta, and sauces on your way out for dinner! Who says too much of a good thing is bad… Bring them in and shoot em I say. or maybe not let them just eat some pasta… And do try their hot chilli oil which they had run out of by the time I went to get it. It is simple delish and the vibe comfy

Fantastic family run Italian deli and restaurant. All organic ingredients, handcrafted into delectable pastas, salads and gourmet paninis with care. Charming décor that is reminiscent of being in your Italian grandmother’s country kitchen.
