Pasta made to order and at a decent price.
Delicious chicken salad too (pictured here) with fresh salad leaves, peas, walnuts, cherry tomatoes and pesto chicken. Fresh, crisp and most of all yummy.
Will order again if I need a reliable, quick and cheap-ish Italian option.

Ordered the garlic prawn and pea pasta as well as the truffle Mac n cheese. Both dishes arrived in record time of 20 minutes partly thanks to DoorDash, which makes it perfect for quick meals when you are hungry.
There were exactly 6 jumbo juicy prawns in my pea and prawn pasta ($18) which exceeded expectations. The prawns were delicious and went well with the creamy pasta. Even when I reheated it the next day, the pasta still tasted good. They also included complimentary crumbed Parmesan which were a nice crunchy addition to the meal.
While I enjoyed the truffle Mac n cheese, it can be a bit overwhelming to eat it on its own. Best to be shared because it’s quite rich in flavour. Thanks for a good meal!!
An appealing interior (really bright, colourful and spacious—you can't help feeling uplifted amongst all the yellow accents!) with a really pleasant vibe overall! If you're looking for casual and authentic Italian, Etto is definitely an enjoyable dining experience!
The staff were really friendly and helpful (we ordered just the one pasta to share, but they were thoughtful enough to bring extra plates before we even had to ask!) and the service was pretty speedy too! The pasta was fresh and delicious in its simplicity—you can't go wrong with a simple spaghetti bolognese! Will definitely return to Etto when I have the chance :)
One of the few restaurants that delivery good pasta. Normally pasta arrives watery and flavourless but not Etto. I’ve never had the pleasure of dining in but their delivery is amazing. The truffle Mac and cheese is absolutely divine and a must try for a night of indulgence. Their napoli meatballs are also great and not at all dry. Highly recommend! (Sorry about the photos, I couldn’t resist eating)
Very spacious cafe serving traditional Italian pasta with Italian staff. Generous serving of bacon with the carbonara with tables at the back available as well.
For what it is (a fast casual pasta bar), Etto is pretty good. I especially like their pesto, which is full of flavour and not too oily. Add some roasted tomatoes for contrast. While it's nice on the gnocchi, the papperdelle is probably my favourite pasta on offer.
We got the garlic bread as an entree, with a amatriciana and Mac and cheese as mains. Everything thing was lovely, with the only fault being (if you can call it that) being that the serving sizes are too big!
We went to the store Etto Pasta Bar in Malvern yesterday, staff are so friendly. I asked them to cook just half a serving of pasta coz I don’t want to eat too much carbs. She recommended me the low carbs version of pasta which is zucchini noodles with garlic tomatoes olive oil sauce. The flavors is so good and delicious. Thanks for the recommendation and allowing me to enjoy pasta all the time now. Will Definitely be back !
I quite enjoyed my visit to Etto Pasta Bar in Malvern. An oh so casual, almost lunch vibes, establishment that serves quick and hot pasta in a fresh setting with cute decor. Our meals came out in less than 10 minutes, and were portioned well. The pasta was perfectly Al dente and is clearly freshly homemade. An issue that I have had in the past with homemade pasta is that it can be gluggy/stick together if not allowed enough time to dry (if a restaurant is in a hurry to get food out especially). Etto definitely did not have this problem, which I was so thrilled about. The spaghetti carbonara was okay but just a tad too creamy for my liking (personal preference). The spicy Italian sausage and feta with fettuccini was delicious and perfectly balanced. The two cheese garlic bread was crisp and flavoursome. Love that these guys have a lisense to serve liquor if you wanted to knock back an Italian Peroni with your meal (it just makes sense!)
I'll definitely be back, love the concept and certainly the freshness! Great work guys.
Many choices you will have! The pasta I had was chewy and tender. Kids menu was nearly as much as normal size! The restaurant is quite casual so you can take friends or family.
