If you haven’t been here then I’m guessing
you have never had much of a social life. I am sorry about that.
This is not necessarily the hip place to be but the place you must have been to.
After a boozy work function, nothing goes
down better than a another beer and a big plate of basic pasta, and this place
has every combination possible.
I used to try the al funghis and the polos
back when it was cooler to be different, but now I just stick to what I
like best – tortellini bolognese – generally you can’t go wrong with that.
As a side matter, it is very hard to get a
good bolognese for a decent price in Melbourne. In fact I think that many
households also get it wrong, I am sorry about that too.
The décor here is very 80s - brown carpet,
vinyl chairs, chipboard walls and a chalkboard with specials. It is a full house every lunch
and you may have to queue in the evening.
This time round I was a bit heartbroken
that I had to add salt and I was a bit afraid to announce that because people
have a sensitive connection with this place. But when I said it, it appears
that the flavour from everyone's plates also migrated to the one person eating puttanesca last Thursday.
A shame because this place is usually
consistent but I can only talk about the pasta I had on the day and on that Thursday it needed some salt.
Price is creeping up, not $13 like the old
days. Around $20 with some good garlic bread.
6.5/10
