We are here to make a fresh seasonal menu of hand made artisan style pasta. Whilst we believe in honouring the traditional techniques of pasta making from Italy. We do not consider ourselves an authentic italian Restaurant rather an ode to traditional techniques with our own spin.

Please sit back, relax and enjoy the pasta .

Dirty plates, one fantastic dish and one dud. Very long wait between entrees and mains up to 45 minutes. I would have ordered dessert but I was afraid of waiting another 45 minutes. Good food but inconsistent service and quality between dishes.

The service was fantastic and the meal was delicious. All dishes we had were great. Some of the dishes on the menu were not available which was disappointing. Overall an amazing venue with equally amazing staff.

Hands down my favourite restaurant in Darwin. I dream about the bugs with lashings of butter and capers and the prawn tagliatelle hence I try to get back as often as I can. Would thoroughly recommend.
