Fabbrica Pasta Shop CBD

Came here for dinner and the food was quite underwhelming, overhyped imo. The seating was also restricting but the waiter was nice. - The burrata was quite tasteless ⭐️ - Mafaldine, prawns, nduja was good, the pasta texture was nice and chewy ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Semolina Casarecce, pork ragu bianco was gamy and the flavours didn’t quite come together properly, couldn’t finish it after two bites (not pictured) ⭐️ - the leaf salad was also mid, very sour (not pictured)⭐️ - tiramisu was the highlight - there were hazelnut crunchy pieces which complimented the cake really well ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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

Visited Fabbrica Pasta Shop in Sydney CBD, and it completely lived up to its reputation. The pasta was fresh, silky, and cooked to perfection — each dish bursting with authentic Italian flavor. The sauce was beautifully balanced, showing that “less is more” when the ingredients are top quality. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and made great wine pairing suggestions. The small, warm atmosphere gives off that modern trattoria feel — casual but refined. Perfect for a quick pasta lunch or a cozy dinner in the city. If you love real Italian food, this is one of Sydney’s must-try spots.

The prawn pasta was good, the pasta was chewy and bouncy. The highlight was zucchini flower and cheese, arancini was okay, a little dry imo. Service was ok, not great but not bad.

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.

Francesca was our waitress and she was lovely! She was so helpful, friendly and attentive. She definitely made the place. The food was delicious and they had a good selection of drinks.
