    Fantastic restaurant with simple menu and delicious food. This was my first visit to Onda, the service was great, the staff were super friendly which made us feel lovely and welcome. The vodka pasta & beef shin raga were amazing, definitely worth every penny. Looking forward to returning! :)

    Great Circle Square venue, stylistic setting with a warm atmosphere and of course, an impressive menu which we all loved to share. Staff were very attentive and made the dining experience fun.

    Food and service were great. Tables a bit close together though so I had to squeeze past other people to get to my seat (and I am not a huge person). The lumache with vodka sauce and ‘Nduja, the pizzetta with ‘Nduja, tomato, mascarpone, and honey, and the tiramisu were stand out dishes for us! Great spot for lunch overall!

    Super friendly staff, quick and attentive service and the food was incredible!! The garlic pizzetta was amazing and the dough was perfectly chewy and crisp at the same time. The beef shin Raghu is a must!! The freshly made pasta is insane! Will definitely be going back!

    Outstanding, we both had such a good visit. It was our first time and we were so impressed, I think it’s by far the best meal I’ve had in a very long time and I can’t faint any aspect of it, the atmosphere, the venue, the server Kya was extremely helpful and friendly and she explained everything is such detail, the soft drinks we ordered were gorgeous - orange and grapefruit soda! And last but certainly not least the food was just phenomenal and exceeded every expectation, we had room for dessert as well and the tiramisu and olive oil gelato were chefs kiss! Loved it and booked again for April this time with my partner- he is very excited!

    Wow. Been trying to get a table here since before Xmas and I got lucky. It did not disappoint. The service is excellent, food amazing and spotless. My belly is full i had to bring the tiramisu home.
    Onda Pasta BarResponded 3 days ago
    This was lovely to read Michael, I'm glad it was worth the wait! Sometimes the tiramisu even tastes better at home, a little piece of Onda to takeaway! Cheers Frank

    Great service with no fuss which we personally love. Food came out quickly, food was all really well made and fresh. Special mention to the crab tagliatelle which was outstanding and the tiramisu was very light, would definitely save space for this one. Would come again!

    Thanks Zoe! The Crab is definitely a staff favourite, we'll see you on your next visit. Cheers Frank
