Probably the best pasta I have had in Sydney! I got the lamb ragu and it just melts in your mouth. Everything we ordered was incredible, the vegan Mac and cheese is perfect you can’t even tell it’s vegan. The brussel sprouts were crispy and delicious, and the cocktails were absolutely gorgeous and tasty. This place is certainly a hidden gem in Surry Hills! Will definitely be back to try more of their pasta dishes.
Absolutely beautiful pasta here! The pasta is fresh and the sauces are delicious. One of the best pastas I've had in awhile
Fieri di Zucca : 😍 Amazing
Blue Spirulina Tagliatelle : 😍 Amazing
Lasagne Vegano : 😍 Amazing
Virgin Matcha Spritz : 😍 Amazing
From the minute we walked in, everything was outstanding from service to food to atmosphere. Lovely service from waitstaff. Fried zucchini flowers were delicious and paired well with their homemade chilli oil. The Blue Spirulina Pasta with blue swimmer crab was brought to us from kitchen heaven and you believe it when they tell you the lasagne is 100% vegan. Everyone has to get the matcha spritz. Not only does it look stunning but it tastes super refreshing and if you want to booze it up, just add a shot of gin! My favourite Italian restaurant by far.
Absolutely perfection! Top service for us and food that could not be faulted. First the zucchini flowers were super crunchy and absolutely delicious! The vegan lasagne tastes just like normal lasagne AND the blue swimmer crab pasta was my favorite, all bursting with flavour! The beetroot pasta was also delicious along with the deep fried ravioli dessert. We had Virgin Spritz (matcha & watermelon) both so refreshing. I’ve never tasted ones so good !
ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE! The food here is absolutely incredible. I highly recommend the vegan lasagna, it is highly nutritious due to the large variety of extracts and ingredients used to create this masterpiece. The Nutella ravioli is a very smart idea and I felt very indulgent. You know that the place is fancy when they offer you sparkling and/or still water 👌🏼☺️
When one of the owners takes time to warmly welcome each guest to this small but cosy restaurant, you know you're in for a good stay.
But first.... *** the place is very small and extremely noisy. So noisy that you'll be challenged to hear yourself think, so if you're after a first date venue or somewhere to have good conversation, maybe steer clear or sit outside under the heaters where it's a lot more quiet ****
Our dinner got off to a great start with a tiramisu espressotini and a passionfruit spritz mocktail. We followed that up with share plates of gluten free pasta (made from chickpea) with a sauce made from pork + fennel sausage which was simply deluxe! and a salad accompaniment "from nonna's backyard"... a really generous serve of rocket, asparagus, parmesan, fennel and lemon vinaigrette for just $12.
Our shared dessert of gluten-free tiramisu ($18) was one of the best we've ever tried. Olive oil chocolate sponge was layered with lightly-drunken marscapone cream and a disc of chocolate halfway down the glass which gave a surprise crunch and added flavour.
M&V's isn't cheap but the service is friendly and the food is A+++ so in my book, it's worth a treat visit every now and then.
(Coeliacs note: while the polenta chips appear on the menu as gluten free, they're actually fried in shared oil... which was such a disappointment to my coeliac partner)
Cosy Italian place with beautifully colored, well-cooked pasta, and friendly staff. You could tell that the beef Ragu had had time to slow cook because the flavors were so prominent. The crab pasta was very subtle and paired well with their homemade chilli. The focaccia bread had a nice char to it although I would’ve preferred it slightly less so. Overall a nice experience !
Been on the list for sooo long but every time I wanted to go, it was booked out! So it is a good idea to book ahead if you're after a Friday night or weekend.
Service was amazing and a lovely man who stood outside even shook our hand as we walked in and all the other staff were just so friendly as well.
Had to try the vegan egg while there so ordered the charcoal pasta. Along with zucchini flowers, beetroot pasta, salad, and nutella ravioli for dessert. All vegan! The food was great, really enjoyed everything, especially the beetroot pasta and the dessert was PERFECT! Probably wouldn't go for the flowers again and I did find the salad very fresh, but heavy on the oil so would ask for less if possible.
Overall, really liked it! It was a tad pricey but the quality of food is great. Def would visit again.
I think Mark + Vinny’s is going to be my favourite spot to eat Italian food from now on. Why hadn’t I not visited sooner? This cute little Spaghetti & Spritz bar is loads of fun and serves up the most scrumptious modern Italian food. Most of which is either Vegetarian or Vegan. The service is superb, especially when you are served by the divine Vinny. You feel like you have been transported to a bar in Italy. The servings are generous and I couldn’t get enough of the retro tunes playing in the background. I can’t wait to go back again and again to try all their Spritzes (there are 20 plus on their menu). The highlight for me was the Maccaruni Calabrese (pictured) made with slow cooked beef short ribs. To die for delicious. #spaghetti #spritz
Absolutely love the interior and innovative dishes here! Experience here overall was great, was greeted by Vince himself and was served by attentive and friendly wait staff. The charcoal bucatini is completely vegan which was amazing considering how creamy it was and the blue swimmer tagliatelle offered a nice balance to the meal with its more subtle flavours. We also got the zucchini flowers and fried cauliflower which were both super delicious! I highly recommend the vegan no-tella ravioli dessert - not too sweet and very crispy! Their Italian donut special was a bit dry though unfortunately...
