1889 Enoteca

A little closer to Holland Park locals, 1889 Enoteca is best known for their hand-made pasta. A great ambience in the place that feels like you’re in Rome, it’s definitely worth a visit and perfect for a date night. Ty their gnocchi and carbonara—it’s a crowd favourite.

If you’re a huge cheese lover, you need to try out Il Verde. This restaurant on King Street in Fortitude Valley is famous for their cheese wheel pasta which is worth how naughty it is. A more casual setting with friendly service. Satisfy your pasta craving and try out their creamy pesto linguine.
