Nice food couldn’t be happier.The restaurant is in a beautiful park of Albert park.Service was great too.

I visited this Italian restaurant that left me truly satisfied and craving for more. Ragu Pappardelle, located in the heart of the city, offers a delightful culinary experience with their authentic Italian cuisine. During my visit, I had the opportunity to sample their Ragu Pappardelle, Kids Pasta, and Tiramisu, and I must say, each dish exceeded my expectations.Let's start with the star of the show - the Ragu Pappardelle. As a lover of pasta, I am always on the lookout for dishes that capture the essence of Italian flavors. The Ragu Pappardelle at Ragu Pappardelle does just that. The wide, silky ribbons of pappardelle pasta were perfectly cooked to al dente, and the rich ragu sauce was a symphony of flavors. The slow-cooked meat, tender and flavorful, combined with the robust tomato base, creating a harmonious blend that was both hearty and comforting. The dish was garnished with freshly grated Parmesan cheese, adding a touch of nuttiness. Each bite was a delightful journey through the rustic Italian countryside. I would highly recommend the Ragu Pappardelle to any pasta enthusiast.Next up is the Kids Pasta, a dish designed to please the younger diners. As a parent, it's important to find a restaurant that caters to the tastes of children. The Kids Pasta at Ragu Pappardelle did not disappoint. The portion size was generous, and the pasta was cooked to perfection. The simple tomato sauce was mild and kid-friendly, while still maintaining the authenticity of Italian flavors. The dish was served with a choice of meatballs or grilled chicken, which added a protein element. The Kids Pasta at Ragu Pappardelle strikes the right balance between appealing to children's preferences and introducing them to quality Italian cuisine.To end my meal on a sweet note, I indulged in their Tiramisu. Tiramisu is a classic Italian dessert that requires finesse and balance in its preparation. Ragu Pappardelle's version did not disappoint. Layered with delicate ladyfingers soaked in espresso and liquor, and interspersed with creamy mascarpone cheese, the Tiramisu was a velvety delight. The dessert had the perfect balance of sweetness and the bitterness of the coffee, creating a harmonious contrast of flavors. It was beautifully presented, with a dusting of cocoa powder on top and a dollop of whipped cream on the side. Ragu Pappardelle's Tiramisu was the perfect ending to a memorable meal.In addition to the outstanding food, the restaurant itself had a warm and welcoming ambiance. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable, providing excellent service throughout my visit. The menu offered a variety of other Italian specialties, giving me a reason to return and explore more of their culinary offerings.Overall, my experience at Ragu Pappardelle was exceptional. The Ragu Pappardelle, Kids Pasta, and Tiramisu were all executed with precision, showcasing the chef's commitment to quality and authenticity. Whether you're a pasta lover or a fan of classic Italian desserts, Ragu Pappardelle is a must-visit restaurant that promises to deliver an unforgettable dining experience.

A big thank you to the staff for an enjoyable evening. We really wanted to try everything on the menu but we will have to come back. The dough was just right - soft in the middle, crisp at the edges. The tomato sauce seemed home made and it was delicious. The toppings were fresh.Excellent service, food and ambience.

I have often walked past this place and finally decided to give it a go. The service is fine, but the food was very disappointing. The pizza base was dry. I also had the pumpkin ravioli - the sauce was cold. The ravioli was hard. The place has the potential to be a good no fuss neighbourhood staple, but not with the current offering.

When craving for a woodfired pizza around Albert Park area, just directly go here. Though there are other places we can go, only a few that open in the afternoon, and this is one of them.This place is huge with plenty of seats. The staff was very helpful in recommending the menu, and the price is decent. I came as the first guest that day, at 12pm sharp. I did not wait for long for the pizza, while enjoyed my buffalo salad and tagliatelle carbonara. All dishes were shared for 3 people.Enjoy the beautiful photos of the dishes and happy trying.

2 stars for the location and somewhat pleasant environment. The pizza was hard like cardboard and lacked any flavor. The pasta was served lukewarm and again lacked seasoning or flavor.I really feel they need to taste test their own food before it goes on the menu as this place could be good! Unfortunately it’s just not up to scratch for authentic Italian food.

Delicious pasta, amazing garlic bread and fabulous service. Great place to chill and dine put with friends. Hidden gem in Albert park.Looking forward to returning again soon.

We love this place! We buy some Chianti from the wine shop next door, pay $12 for corkage and eat EVERYTHING. Especially recommend the bruschetta. The neighbor says this is the best pizza in Melbourne, wood fired oven. Yum!

Worst pizza I ever had. The person didn’t even knock on my door and left my pizza on my door step for 1 hour without me knowing and I got a Margherita and it look really good on the website but I got this. It was sour , bittering and the cheese wasn’t even good that was disappointing

Located in a really nice and safe area. The staff are friendly. The food is delicious but the serving sizes are so small for their price.
