New favourite Italian spot!! Visited for a Sunday lunch (with a booking as we had a group of 7) and had an amazing overall experience; top quality food and service. We sat indoors in the front section which had a few medium sized tables and a display with sandwiches/desserts by the counter. There is also outdoor courtyard seating but we did not check out this section.
There was an all day breakfast menu with an Italian twist on brunch classics, as well as several pastas/salad on the lunch menu. Additionally there were 4 pasta specials; one was the fettuccine ragu (see image). The pasta and other dishes we had were all flavourful and with perfect texture. Can’t fault it!!
All the staff are very friendly and added to the memorable visit. Highly recommend and will return!!
I have heard a lot of this cafe and have wanted to try it for the longest time. I finally got to try it on a Sunday arvo and the food was amazing!!
It was seriously had to choose a dish because everything sounded good, including the special. I finally went with the breakfast carbonara which was al dente and well-seasoned. It was so flavourful - it was cheesy, creamy and rich from the egg yolk and savoury and fatty from the pancetta. It was perfect.
My partner opted for the breakfast bruschetta which was heirloom tomatoes with avocado, mozzarella, basil and a poached egg. It was sweet, savoury, herby and fresh. He loved it.
The coffee was aromatic and chocolatey. I was so tempted by the home-made desserts but was full. I will definitely be back to try them! The service was excellent and very friendly. A lovely place to dine and certainly my new favourite Italian place.
Ever now and then we come here to order a coffee, casarecce in vodka and chilli sauce, then finish with ricotta baked cheesecake. Very nice.
So happy to see the Pure Italian + Roam team back in action in a new location. Don't be fooled, from the outside it looks quite cramped, however there is a lovely courtyard and spacious back room as well. As always the food is fantastic and service so friendly.
Calamari is always a stand out dish and perfect for sharing.. or eating the whole plate on your own. If you're just looking for coffee and cake, you can't go past the orange and polenta cake and chocolate pear tart.
Deeeeelicious chilli scrambled eggs!!! Soooo delicious, had to stop myself ordering pasta for breakfast here, but that was worth it as soon as I tried these eggs!!
Such a witty smart nice owner Ant he rocks ;)
great cafe, i look forward always :)
Extra shot is extra shot. Great rich coffee.
Fantastic guys and great food and coffee!!!
