Oof. New menu this week and it’s been an interesting start.
Like, I knew our new Roast Pumpkin and Gorgonzola Casarecce would be great, but I never expected it to shoot up the leaderboard and dethrone our Gnocchi alla Rosa as our third most popular pasta!
Not only that, but you’ve been loving our new soup as well :)
Thanks for all the support and we’ll see you in for dinner tonight.

Sorry to say, Newstead (7th June) is closed for the night due to low stock (We had a busy week and just sold out)
Chermside is rocking and rolling however, so if you're in the area and want some of Brisbanes best handmade pasta, pop in and say hi :)

Look, I get it, things are a bit grim.
But as a small hole-in-the-wall, community-focused venue, we're pushing hard on the handmade pasta, the local suppliers, and the authentic.
We're not trying to be the big, upmarket, shiny venue with the million dollar fit out.... we're trying to be what we are....
A small place that feels like home.
Come in and see why we're consistently up there producing some of Brissies best, handmade pasta :)
