Fabbrica Pasta Shop CBD

Cute, casual and cosy pasta restaurant. Atmosphere was calm, music not too loud and service was quite prompt. Personal highlights would be the pear soda 🍐- bright and not too sweet, burrata 🧀 fennel jam was CRAZY, prawn mafaldine 🦐- al dente with a slight kick of nduja balanced with a generous sprinkle of chives (I think lol) and the hazelnut tiramisu 🥄- more on the custardy side which I LOVE ❤️ I found the croquettes slightly too salty and the duck rigatoni a little bit too fatty (but keep in mind that’s just my preference). But overall, thank you for a delicious night 🤰🏻

I went last week to visit for the first time and I had a great experience at this Italian restaurant! The food was delicious — fresh, authentic, and full of flavor. The Italian manager was very welcoming and did an excellent job running the place. Highly recommended!

My second time here. Lucky enough to get an outside table on a rainy day. Pastas are a little bit salty for both of us but we enjoyed it in general and it’s not a big issue. Very friendly service and attentive staff. For the panna cotta, my friend only had two bits cuz it’s too sweet.. so maybe some berries and aged balsamic or something sour on it instead of crumbles and sweet pickled fruit - they are way too sweet and panna cotta itself is sweet- would be great if there is something to balance the flavour!

The taste was great, but not perfect. When you eat the pasta at the restaurant, you notice a mysteriously familiar flavor. Anyway, I saw a tip option on the screen when I paid. I don’t like how tipping culture is invading Australia.

Enough sitting on for great restaurants, this is a hidden gem you should search for. Hidden in the basement in the middle of the CBD, you will find some unique and exceptional Italian dishes. Start off with the hot fresh sourdough. The olasagasti why is cheesy, crunchy, and exploding with flavor. All of our entrees were exceptional. The pesto was light and accident beautifully with potatoes and almond slices. The prawn dish had the most explosion of flavor with just a slight kick to it. The duck was my entree and had a perfect blend of crispy flavorful duck, with the soft noodles. It was almost like a slight soup broth with it. The staff was exceptional and very attentive.

The tira misu was great ! the rest of what we had were okay -- too spicy prawn pasta, and the other one was also just fine. was difficult to raise the stars as the wait to get a table took 45mins, and the wait to get the food order was another 45mins. they ran out of sourdough bread too :-(

The place had a relaxed vibe with high bar seating great for a dinner after work. Moving on to the food, it was pretty decent. I really enjoyed the zucchini, it was delicious! But the octopus was a bit too sour for my taste. As for the pasta, I might have had high expectations. We ordered the duck ragu pasta and prawn pasta—both were okay, but the duck ragu was a bit bland. I mentioned it to the waiter, and he kindly took the drink off our bill as a gesture of apology, which I really appreciated. I might come back to try another branch😄

Cute little place down a set of stairs with a protected open air courtyard and inside space. Cocktails were simple but tasty, and the service was excellent. Everyone at the table enjoyed trying each other's pastas but everyone was equally happy with their choice. The Pesto pasta had been made with love, and because of that hadn't been turned bitter by heating it. 10/10 for that. We added Zuchini flowers (always worthwhile) and the bread with cultured butter to the table for waiting noms. Also recommended. Atmosphere was lovely, they had hooks for bags, but the outdoor stools were a bit narrow even for me.
