Fabbrica Pasta Shop CBD

Visited Fabbrica for the first time and it didn’t disappoint. We were a party of two and came here on a Saturday afternoon, we were seated right away (walk-ins accepted). Ordered theee dishes - Zucchini Flowers, Mafaldine and Cacio e Pepe. Zucchini flowers were scrumptious and a great starter choice - The outer was crispy and sweet with the hot honey drizzle. The mozzarella and ricotta filling was a combination of bursting flavours I would’ve never thought would work with the tanghulu-like crispy outer. The winning dish for me would he the Mafaldine - The spicy nduja sauce tied everything together and the prawns were cooked to perfection - Super juicy and tender. The mafaldine was al-dente, and now also my favourite kind of pasta! Unfortunately the Cacio e Pepe wasn’t a favourite due to the simplicity of it, however I understand the complexity of making this dish and it’s hard to get it right! The flavour ok to me however we favour the other pasta dish more. Overall a lovely experience, the man who greeted us initially was friendly, very accommodating and helpful. Would definitely recommend and revisit.

First time we went the food was pretty bland. Gave it a second try as we had an Uber Eats Dine Out deal and honestly it was pretty good. I would definitely go back again. I’d say the dishes were all pretty good. The Cacio Pepe was the stand out. Staff were wonderful and welcoming. A highlight. Prices are definitely on the higher side for what you get, but that seems to be the norm for Italian food anywhere.

Pastas are yum. The malfadine with prawn is delicious and can’t be flawed. Portions however are on the skimpy side - an ordinary person needs 1.5 servings of the pasta to be full The sandwiches are not worth the price. The focaccia was very dry and cold. Seems underwhelming for a place that prides itself on its baked goods 2 pastas and a sandwich during lunch sets you back $85

Ordered Tagliatelle, blue swimmer crab, chilli. Came out with chives on top. The server said no worries will make new one. I said I’m sorry because on the menu it was not show they have chive in the dish. Got new pasta, with recooked from old dish. Pasta overcooked and sauce so OILY as you can see in the picture. Chives are still in the dish just cooked it. Zucchini flower is nice.

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 🤰🏻

We dined outside. We’ve ordered zucchini flower, cacio e pepe, mafaldine and caserecce. Zucchini flower was the highlight I would say. Also mafaldine was good. We didn’t really like the other two pastas as they were a bit bland. We finished with a tiramisu which was nice too.

Ordered the prawn pasta and it was so good usually not a fan of carbs but I smashed that one out in 15 min lol. Pasta was perfectly cooked and seasoned to perfection. My friend got crab pasta and she loved it. Lovely and helpful staffs as well. The vibe inside couldve been more cosy with different lighting (in my opinion) but overall very happy with the experience will definitely come back

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!
