I will always order the Spaghetti Carbonara ($16) whenever I see it on the menu, with the hope of it being the decadent Italian variety made with nothing but cheese and eggs, rather than the cream-laden atrocity that normally comes out. And while I’ve been disappointed many times, this one was a bullseye. Each strand of pasta was coated in an obscenely rich and smoky sauce, topped with fatty pieces of salted pancetta, and a twist of freshly cracked black pepper. It’s the best carbonara I’ve had in Sydney to date, and probably even the best since my very first ‘real’ carbonara.
After a few hours of shopping inside Westfield on Pitt Street Mall, we decided to grab a quick bite at Ragu at level 5 food court. In a way it is an unusual location for an Italian restaurant but a quick glance of the menu reinforced our decision. . The menu features a good selection of antipasto, pasta, salad and dessert. There is also a daily special menu, just to make the option a bit harder to narrow down. Proscuitto e Mozzarella had two of our favourite items and would usually be a go-to dish for us. But on this occasion we went for South Australian black mussels Zuppa di Cozze instead ($16). It was not bad portion for the price point, accompanied by chargrilled sourdough.
