Etto Pasta Bar in Malvern is a trendy Italian-inspired casual restaurant. They are the Subway of pasta: you choose your own sauce, pasta type, and any toppings you may want.
With eleven choices of sauce, from a mild three cheese sauce to an exquisite truffle and salami sauce, there are options for all cravings. There are eight pasta choices available, opt for a traditional spaghetti, or be adventurous with ravioli or gnocchi. A selection of toppings makes your pasta more personal. Options include roasted mushrooms, ricotta, salami and tuna. Each topping incurs an extra cost, so don't treat it like a pizza and order 'the lot' unless your wallet is up for the challenge.
I ordered the basil pesto sauce on rigatoni pasta, with added chicken breast pieces and parmesan cheese. This cost $17 (the chicken was an additional $3 on the base price of $14).
The sauce was deliciously creamy, and the pasta cooked to perfection. Etto Pasta Bar may not be the most upscale Italian eatery, but they do make a mean pasta.
A side of parmesan chips was a delicious addition to the comfort food dream of a meal, though they hardly got eaten due to the serving size of the pasta.
In order to get the most out of your Etto pasta experience, go on an a very empty stomach. To say that their serving sizes are huge would be an understatement.
As a casual dining venue, Etto lacks the cosy atmosphere that characterises most Italian restaurants. The interior is very on-trend with Scandinavian styling, with bench seating as well as a few cafe tables for a slightly more intimate dining experience.
A cornucopia of comfort food, Etto is worth a visit for all pasta enthusiasts.
