Tipo 00

Sat outdoors with a table of 4 a few weeks ago. Compared to previous visits, the pasta this time was slightly underseasoned which impacted the overall flavour of the dish - in particular the Moreton Bay Bug pasta which made is a bit bland. Texture though was cooked on point. Service was also generally attentive. Hopefully it's improved again the future.

Finally tried Melbourne’s famous pasta bar, Tipo 00 (after many failed attempts at securing a booking) - and I gotta say, the pasta here is seriously some of the best you can get! Honestly don’t think you can go wrong with any dish on their menu, but some of my top picks would be the Zucchini flower stuffed with spanner crab (only on their special menu though!), their famous Squid ink tagliolini (this one’s a MUST TRY), and the Tipomisu for dessert (really strong coffee flavour and not overly sweet - a must for coffee lovers!).

Tipo 00 doesn't stop amazing me! The food is outstanding!! By far the stand-out was the tortellini cacio e pepe. The serving size is super generous and the service is top notch. We shared 4 dishes and they served them plated up individually which is such a great touch (photos show half serving for the pasta/risotto, gnocchi is the full serve). Definitely over ate but couldn't resist the dessert which was also brilliant. Can't wait to go back!

Truffle night. Plus duck gnocchi. Excellent as always. Duck is a staple, and the truffle risotto is also a staple when truffle is on the menu. I'm glad to have tried the Paccheri and it had more depth of flavour, but I personally still liked the simple risotto more. Will be back next truffle season.

pasta felt pretty average. The appetizer (ox tongue) was better compared to the mains. I had pretty high expectations of the place given the glowing reviews I see here, but we left disappointed. Both of our pasta (squid ink & Gippsland rabbit pasta) were hard texture wise and felt lacklustre. The rabbit meat was okay, but the pasta was hard. Went to have another round of dinner after this.
