I got penne salsicce and it was surprisingly good good considering most outlets here dumb it down for the students - good ingredients, flavour, and the pasta was cooked just past al dente. It did $14 though. The coffee was also great - rich, hot and creamy. There are only a few tables that are often busy - I ordered takeaway but then a seat opened up and they brought out the box to my table.
Bacon and eggs roll is sooo good here. It's perfect for a quick breakfast before your early lecture or tutorial. You better be quick though, they run out real fast!
Pasta is also nice here. So far I've tried the classic Bolognese with garlic bread and Salmone. Bolognese is sometimes a bit watery but overall I give 6.5/10 for the pasta 👌
One thing that I don't really appreciate is how one of the guys working there keeps saying "xiexie" to me 😂 Yes, I'm Asian but that doesn't automatically make me Chinese
Like their simple yet tasty macaroni bolognaise (goes well with spaghetti as well but not as practical in their take away container). Not a lot of meat but I really like the sourness of the tomatoes in their sauce ! I also recommend adding an extra cup of Parmesan cheese in their ! Sad thing is that they are only available until late afternoon, not an option for dinner ... but there food preparation is quick so if you feel like having some quick comfort food, this is the place !!!
My top pasta place at UNSW. The pasta is always well cooked and all the sauces are great! My favourites are Pesto, Stella (pumpkin, speck, rocket and goat's cheese) and Salsicce (Italian pork sausage, onion, pomodoro, ricotta). The coffee is also pretty good for that early morning caffeine kick.
A bit pricey, but hey...uni food right? It's pretty tasty, and you get a satisfying portion size for the price you pay for. You can choose your pasta type which is pretty nice (not the biggest spaghetti fan). I'd say I'd eat here again, for sure, but not on a regular basis. There's coffee to the side of you want a morning pick me up as well, and they're open from 7ish (I think), so it's a good grab and go option.
Beautiful pasta and coffee. Definitely worth checking out when on UNSW campus. Lovely authentic food.
