Pasta Emilia is by far the most authentic and best Italian food in Sydney that I've had yet! The food is so delicious, the staff is incredibly friendly, and atmosphere is perfect for any occasion. I recommend Pasta Emilia to everyone who appreciates a traditional home style Italian meal cooked with love. The duck ravioli was a stand out! We even bought a jar of chili 'peperoncino' to take home. Highly recommended - loved it!
A lot of people in this competitive world of culinary arts boast making the best pasta .. The pasta here IS in fact the best I've seen. So homemade so authentic, still carrying the granular texture of 'it's just been made outback 5minutes ago' .. an experience of soft, fleshy, juicy and rounded full flavour of house made fresh pasta ..
the duck ravioli was something I'd think about having as a last meal if I was on death row ..
It's all good, it all comes out with that passion and authenticity

I wanted to try this place for a long time because it reminds me a genuine Italian restaurant.
We made a booking but in the place where we were sitting we didn’t have much space and we were sitting one next to the other, facing the window.
We started with a caprese and then we ordered pumpkin and spinach ricotta tortelli served with truffle cream sauce and wild game tortelli with tomato and basil sauce. Portions are not big but they were both good. The one with pumpkin and spinach was just a bit too salty.
I think I had too high expectations, there is not much difference between those tortelli and the fresh ones I make at home, but I’m sure everybody likes them.
What I really enjoyed here are the desserts. We have been lucky because a waiter made a mistake with our order, so we had an extra dessert for free. That made me very happy because I like tasting different things and all of 3 desserts were really good.
We spent almost 4 hours there talking, the atmosphere was comfortable and even the service was good.
Prices are slightly higher than other restaurants.
They also sell their own products like pasta, tortelli, tomato sauces, cheeses.

Cute little cafe. The food here definitely taste delicious and fresh.
I tried the ravioli and smoked burrata is was all amazing.
Service is also very friendly, I would definitely go back
We came here for lunch and had a lovely time. Really like the decor and the homely feel which gave it a relaxing atmosphere. The fact that they were hosting classes at the back told you how serious about their pasta they were, but also gave the place a great community feel. We had the potato and truffle tortelli, the wild game pappardelle and the burrata - loved every bite!
Had a lovely experience here a few months ago. Food was great and amazing service from the owner/staff. One of our wines tasted a bit off (possibly due to being preservative free) and the owner kindly changed it for us free of charge. The portions were not big, unlike Italian, but the flavours are definitely there. Great for vegetarians!
I dined here on a Thursday night and used a TheFork redemption voucher i had. We ordered the potato and truffle ravioli, spinach and ricotta ravioli and tuna tartare. The food was delicious and you could tell a lot of care went into their preparation. Unfortunately the waitress mixed up our plates when they were served at the table so my friend and i ended up eating what the other had ordered. Overall, Pasta Emilia has a lovely relaxed atmosphere, staff are friendly and food is great!

“We should go together one night to Pasta Emilia. I think her pasta is the best in town, organic Italian flour and the best eggs available,” said my mate Jason Moss, a popular Darlinghurst jeweller. I didn’t need much cajoling. My last experience with purchasing Pasta Emilia linguini from Iggy’s Bread in Bronte had resulted in a bowl of pasta so good, I went back to buy more pasta the very next week only to be thwarted by an empty fridge shelf. What I didn’t find out until later, was that Jason had a connection to owner Anna Maria Eoclidi that would afford me the opportunity to hear the story behind her successful pasta operation… Swathed in yellow light, the Riley Street warehouse is home to a pasta kitchen, cooking school, shop and restaurant. With exposed rafters and communal wooden tables decorated with fresh flowers, the long convivial space has the orderly clutter of a lived-in rural kitchen. Neat rows of pickle jars line...
Hidden gem in Surry Hills, never thought to look this end of town for Italian/pasta. We ordered the Tagliatelle and the ravioli. The pasta is organic and cooked very well, the sauce was top notch with just the right amount of flavors. The dessert wasn't too bad, but after a pasta it could've probably passed on. Overall a nice little Italian restaurant.
I had lunch here the other day and found the food pretty good and tasty. The sizing of the food was great, I didn't finish it all. Surry Hills is hard to find good pasta I've tried a few. Service wasn't bad either.
As I walked into Surry Hills based restaurant, I felt like I was entering a remote little town of Italy. The family orientated and rustic decorated restaurant felt very comforting. I peek through the restaurant and notice a pasta making class taking place. No cooking for me today though, I'm here to dine in the restaurant. For full review including photos, go to the blog post
Pasta Emilia, traditional Italian in the heart of Surry Hills. We would describe it as Italian rustic, a large space for guests to dine, pasta making out the back and a gourmet store downstairs for street access. . Owner Anna Maria hails from Italy herself, from the Emilia Romagna region. She and her husband have significant experience in the restaurant industry, in Italy, Bronte and now, Surry Hills.
Love everything about this restaurant. As soon as you walk in, you’re transported to another place filled with delectable food, good music, cozy space and friendly staff. Definitely won’t be my last.
Kudos to a well maintained restrooms👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Very happy to say that I loved the pasta here. The much-raved-about strozzapreti al ragu was heavenly, and the semifreddo hit the perfect balance of flavours and textures. I’m very proud to share my name with this restaurant and I highly recommend to all!
I have had amazing experiences at this restaurant. The service is unlike anything I’ve ever had the pleasure of receiving. The wait staff were fantastic. I love coming back to this restaurant for the delicious organic pasta. If you’re looking for the best chef and kitchen staff in Sydney, this is the place to go. The drinks were superb, the cocktails are so tasty. Thank you, will be back again.
A European eclectic interior enhances the already delicious suite of pasta mains. Portions are large and beg to be shared.
Thoroughly enjoyable pasta-making experience. The owner is approachable and fun; our class, who struggled and eventually succeeded in making linguine, angel hair spaghetti, and ravioli, was rewarded with the most delicious brunch and takeaway souvenirs.
Unforgettable flavor and a memorable time. Highly recommended.

Really cozy and cute restaurant with a vibe that will remind you of holidays in Europe. All the decor says "I found my way here over the last 15 odd years". The music, plants and candles add a nice touch to the ambience of the place. You can tell a lot of thought and care has gone into this place. The menu has a lot of quality items on there using ingredients like truffle, porcini, prosciutto etc etc. It was tough to decide for a dish. The lady sold us the special starter which was a triple cream brie with a truffle layer, pear, honey and bread. Delicious ! All of us loved the dishes we received. One thing we noticed was that the service needs a little touch up. Our waiter was friendly but seemed a little clueless and ordered the wrong starter. I believe he wasn't 100% familiar with the menue items yet. We wished there would have been follow up on how the dishes were received as we would have definitely passed our compliments to the kitchen. Everyone was satisfied though the portion sizes could have been a tad bigger. The bill for 3 people came to $200. 1 starter, 2 wines, 3 mains and 2 desserts to share. Upscale prices for upscale food. Would definitely come back. :) We also saw there is a little deli in the back :)
Lovely food, wines, ambience and attentive staff.
Feels like you’re in another country. We were a big group of 10 and had the set menu. The overall experience was really well organised and enjoyable.
Recommend the orange cake for dessert!
