Was hungering for some carbs for dinner, so a pasta place seems perfect. Have not heard of Pastabella before, but it was right across the road from where we parked. It had been a while since I had some good quality pasta. Expectations were not that high, the front part of the shop looked like a takeaway place, but the back actually extended into a cosy dining area we were sitting outside (enclosed with heating) with fairy lights, a very romantic setting. As a novelty, the pasta were served in a flatbread made bowl. The bread itself was actually quite morish to eat, soaking up the sauces oils of the pasta. My marinara in white wine sauce was absolutely delicious, freshly made pasta, light sau...
I don't know why it took me so long to come and try this local gem. The food is honest and authentic. The restaurant itself is rather understated and easily looked past, but it's a haunt for the locals. All the cooking is done at the front of the restaurant, an open kitchen that tantalises your tastebuds. The decor is simple and to the point, and has that homely feel to it, very unpretentious. The food portions are decent, and the price of the pizzas and pasta are fairly reasonable. For 2 we ordered one supreme pizza to share and a linguine chilli con gamberi. The only let down were the prawns that was nice but didn't taste the freshest.The service was a little slow this particular evening a...
First eat out in Aus this year. We chose this italian place for its handsome discount. The place is quiet bright and clean. Service is polite. I love the pizza oven!<br/ <br/ Supreme pizza could use a big more oil and softer less dough to emphasize the flavor. Plenty of topping is nice. Xihuahua tasted anchovies and isn’t sure about what it is.<br/ <br/ Mushroom risotto is creamy. Chicken is slightly tough though. Have it before it gets cold. <br/ <br/ Caesar salad is ok. Nothing too special but plenty of ingredients in there.<br/ <br/ Beef cannelloni is very homely. I enjoyed the beef chunks in there. They did not cook it enough and some pasta was uncooked inside which is a shame.
Found this restaurant walking through Glebe. Ordered the supreme pizza and the marinara pasta. The pizza was absolutely perfect! The base was thin, had a lovely crispy texture with just the right amount of char as well as a fluffy crust. The pasta in the marinara was fresh and fragrant, the sauce flavoursome. If you're looking for wholesome, homemade Italian food, this is the place to go! Will definitely be coming back.

First thing first; the owner is so friendly and nice! I tried carbonara and while I love asianized sauce better, it's still enjoyable enough for me, esp wirh free extra cheese . The spotlight is definitely the pasta! Al dente fresh homemade pasta,you can really taste the difference. They also use raw egg yolk for the sauce; which is the authentic way to eat carbonar. I wil be back next time to try the pizza and dessert
Pastabella was DIVINE. The food was the best I've ever had in Glebe. The lasagne was so beautiful and arrived around 15 mins after we ordered it. The herb bread pizza was great to share and was so filling. The food left my friends and I satisfied and our wigs were snatched so much. Must go again.
This is my favourite Italian place yet.The mushroom ravioli is a must try.Lots of options on the menu for vegetarians.They also customised a dish for us to make it vegetarian friendly.If you wanna try authentic Italian food,this is your go to place.
We went here for dinner . We had chilli con gamberi, pastabella pizza and chicken Milanese. Food was authentic and service was not rushed and friendly. They have heated seating outside and would recommend.
