best vegan pasta i’ve had in sydney, recommend the focaccia and cacio e pepe. staff are very nice. prices are very reasonable too. there seemed to be a lot of good gluten free options.

Delighted to have discovered this Paddington gem, which serves innovative Italian inspired plant-based dishes. The service is also excellent, making it a good reason to return and experience more.

Absolutely blown away by this Italian gem – easily one of the best dinners I’ve had in a long time. Everything was next level - handmade cheeses that melted in your mouth, silky pastas, fluffy foccacia - you could taste so much thought and love goes into every detail. The interiors are beautiful, the staff are genuinely lovely too. If you're into food that is both comforting and elevated, this place nails it. Will 100% be back – and would recommend it to anyone who loves proper Italian done exceptionally well.

Amazing food and vibes would definitely return. Fried green olives, truffle mushroom aranccini balls, fresh pesto flatbread was a highlight, meat balls had amazing tomatoes, al dente cacio e peppe, brussel sprouts were tasty but abit on the spicy side and a great tiramisu to top it all off! Im vegetarian but I totally forgot that it's all vegan too!

I will definitely be back. Incredible. Sorry no photos, I was too busy stuffing my face, I’ll try to remember next time. The arancini was good but could definitely use some sauce. The zucchini flowers we delicious as was the pesto pasta but my absolute favourite was the pepper and Parmesan pasta, i forgot the exact name, the flavour was amazing. The tiramisu was next level, I’d be happy to come just for this, one of the best I’ve had. Also thought it worth mentioning the house made sodas, I had the spicy watermelon and it was divine, for a non drinker it really felt like I was having a fancy cocktail. I am still drooling over the thought of dinner hours later. That is a good sign. The staff were also super attentive and the atmosphere is cozy and warm, fantastic vibes. EDIT- came back again and it absolutely did not disappoint. Remembered to take a couple of photos this time.
