Recently opened on Victoria Rd, Gladesville, the features handmade pasta and authentic Italian ingredients. If you are after a huge bowl of your favourite comfort food, you wont be disappointed here, and there is plenty to choose from with about 15 pasta dishes, 3 types of homemade Gnocchi and 4 types of Risotto.

Our recent Sunday lunch at was a very filling affair, when I say the portions are large, I'm not kidding. So bring your appetite to this casual new venue, but keep in mind it is BYO WINE ONLY, however, there is no corkage. A bottle shop is located conveniently across the road.

We started with the Carpaccio with garnish and grissini (i don't recall receiving the grissini) and, at $18.90, comes in a choice of Salmon, Beef or Kingfish. They were out of Kingfish so we went with the Salmon, and, I liked it a lot.

I love Octopus so I couldn't go past the BBQ Baby Octopus tossed with baby spinach, herbs and olive oil, also $18.90, generous in portion and really tasty. I loved this dish.

For the pasta, we tried the Linguine with crab meat, cherry tomato, garlic, chilli, fresh basil and the Fettucine Gamberi, both $27.90. Servings were generous, plenty of prawns and for once, enough crabmeat that you actually knew your dish contained crab meat. My favourite was the Linguine, it was a very tasty dish.

There didn't seem to be a kids menu, not that we asked, so my 8yr old had the Potato Gnocchi with Gorgonzola cream sauce at $24.90 . It too was a decent serving, probably too much for a kid but that's okay, there was plenty left over for us to try, so I will give that the thumbs up as well.

We did notice a specials board after we had ordered on a wall towards the back, the waitress neglected to mention any specials, so look out for that in case you want more options.

They have a selection of desserts at the bar to choose from, if you can fit any in. They are open Tuesday to Saturday for Coffee/Breakfast, Brunch/Lunch and Dinner and on Sundays Coffee/Breakfast/Brunch and Lunch.
