Located on Lygon Street, this establishment is a true gem. It has gained fame for its meticulously crafted handmade pastas, which undoubtedly rank among the best we have ever tasted. The staff members are incredibly friendly, adding to the overall delightful dining experience. While visiting, be sure to engage in a conversation with Vikram, who will eagerly share fascinating details about the restaurant's rich history.

Parking:Can get a bit challenging as it is located on a busy street with a lot of eateries.Food:Authentic Italian fare that also includes pizza. Food the food to be absolutely outstanding. We were a group of 5 and each one of us enjoyed our dinner thoroughly.Service:The service was extremely warm and efficient. The wait staff were also particularly accommodating and served us with a smile. The owner himself came up to our table several times to ensure that we were comfortable and well looked after. He took the time to make a personal connect with a friend's child in a buddy restaurant. This speaks a lot about their attitude towards the customers.

Their handmade pasta is great. The pasta itself were all cooked to perfection. The flavour and the sauce could be slightly better though. Good service too. Worth trying!

Wonderful food, 5 stars - fantastic customer service from the WAITER only, lovely looking restaurant and atmosphere. 1 star for whoever was putting the payment through. Blonde woman on the other side of bench on 5/6 around 6-8pm. when I went to go pay I had the intention of splitting it down the middle with my friend so started off my mentioning the items I wanted to pay for individually. She then said we don’t do that here. So I then said that’s ok, can you please just split price down the middle exactly since I am paying on two cards. She then said again.. we don’t do that here. I walked away to try and work out how to pay for dinner since I wanted to pay on two different cards and not often am told by restaurants I can’t split bills. I then clarified with a waiter if bills can be split and they said yes they can be - and was standing there next to me and the woman who was putting the payment through.This woman with blonde hair stood their glaring at me looking annoyed and rolling her eye and also glaring at the waiter who advocated for me - and then put the split payment through, this felt uncomfortable and made me feel this wonderful night and restaurant had left me feeling very very uncomfortable that waiter staff and customers would be treated in such a way. Unfortunately this has left me reconsidering if I would attend again.

Solid Italian restaurant. I had the daily special - gnocchi with clams - which was tasty, but could have used a bit more seasoning. Good espresso. Fast and friendly staff.

Don’t come this restaurant, the wait stuff is just fine, but the manager is rude as hell.So basically we came here for food, but we don’t know there’s pork in the food. And the wait stuff didn’t ask us any allergies or any requests. So my Muslim friend ordered aa pasta w pork. After the food was served, I found there’s pork after he had a bit, and I asked the staff he said it’s common knowledge. Ok but it’s not English why would I know Italian there’s pork in the food. (Update: the manager is the owner here, that’s hilarious)The the staff got the manager, the manager is even ruder, he said why would I wouldn’t know there’s pork inside. But excuse me am I the staff here or am I Italian, why should I know theres definitely pork inside the food. So basically said I don’t have any common sense and knowledge. So that’s how they insult customers not serve customers?

Amazing linguine. The taste of handmade pasta is really different. Worth a try although it's pricey.

Delicious pasta that is slightly pricier.I got the Linguine which came with prawns, wild rocket, tomato and chilli. Everything was incredible about the meal but I would have preferred the prawns to not come with a bit of shell.Expect to spend around $30-37 for a pasta dish here.

Beautiful food and wonderful service! We ordered the rib-eye for entrée and it was cooked perfectly.For main, we got the trio of pastas because we couldn’t decide. I’m so glad we got the trio because all 3 were absolutely delicious!
