chester white cured diner

a very small cosy restaurant with super cool staff and amazing food! i loved the truffle cheesewheelspaghetti with the chilli paste the serve with it! their carbonara and gnocchi was pretty good - needed a bit more flavour in my opinion.

my favourite carbonara ever!! also the truffle cheesewheelpasta is to die for. everything here has always been a treat. they make their own pickles and chilli sauce which are great accompaniments. tiny place so can be hard to get a table but worth the wait. will come back any day ❤️❤️

chester white cured diner is the sister restaurant to buffalo dining club, and although i had tried buffalo dining club some time ago, i was again in the mood to eat pasta out of a giant cheesewheel(is there any other mood?) and decided to try chester white for some sort of minor variation. in some sort of serendipitous coincidence, chester white recently started opening for brunch on saturdays and sundays, and it was about a week or two after this that i decided to come, having been turned down on a friday evening.

chester white is almost like a hole-in-the-wall restaurant. fits about 30 diners at the one seating, so its always good to come early. we waited for about 30mins on a saturday which wasn't too bad.

seated at the front by the pavement we were presented with a simple a4 sized menu. ordered the two pastas from their menu and the cured meats. forgot the names of the cured meats but i'm pretty sure they got one wrong, unless salami is supposed to look like that.

definitely try their pastas! we enjoyed every mouthful and it was entertaining watching then present one in awheelof cheese. the owners?waiters? were really friendly. they explained the menu to us and checked up on us throughout the night, even made small conversations.

even though the restaurant is small and the menu is simple, their food tastes great, they cook their pasta well, they have great pride in what they do and they make you want to dine again.

(added more photos, pasta still just as good as last time)

cannot recommend this place enough! we did have to wait in line for 30mins but it was so worth it. this place is well known for its pasta so of course we had to try it out!

we ordered their famous truffle cacio e pepe and ricotta gnocchi with wild mushroom ragu and wow they were incredible! the gnocchi was so soft and chewy, and the mushroom sauce was creamy and tasted absolutely delicious. their truffle cacio e pepe came with spaghetti noodles, salt and pepper, parsley, black truffles, served out of a sardinian truffled pecorino cheesewheeland it was so delicious! the cheese taste was very strong and nothing i had ever tried before. definitely worth the hype and is a must try!!

to be honest the portion sizes weren’t that big compared to the amount we were paying, but the flavour and quality of the pasta was 100% there!

waited an hour in the rain but definitely worthwhile the waiting. we had the cheesewheelpasta and the carbonara, both delicious! loved the deco and ambience too! have to mention their friendly staff are all awesome!

i could eat pasta all day errday but chester white takes it to the next level! all i need to say is that this is my favourite pasta in sydney! i always order all three pastas and i highly recommend an apperol to wash it down! the best part? you get lunch or dinner and a show when the cheesewheeltheatrics begin!

chester white cured diner is a cozy, small little charcuterie bar on orwell street in potts point which serves some delightful home-style pastas and cured meats. the casual and affable dining-bar reminds me of buffalo dining club and the hooks of cured meats behind the tiled bars exude a distinctive friendly style of service.

i ordered chestini, a house-made espresso martini, and refilled cacco e pepe, spaghetti with salt and pepper, parsley and black truffle served in a pecorino cheese wheel. the overall taste of the pasta was acceptable but the spaghetti was visually overcooked and mushy whereas the black truffles and cheesewheelwere gimmicky rather than having any real impact on its flavour.

however, the distinctive friendly and relaxing vibe at the restaurant is probably deserving a visit but i might not return again.

they serve you hot pasta from awheelof cheese. awheelof cheese, people! if that doesn't strike your fancy, or you're with a group and want to try the rest of the menu, there is meat and cheese platters, with your choice of meats from a large selection, and number of other delicious dishes. the slow cooked lamb is tender and well seasoned. if it's busy, they take your number and call you when a table is ready, which gives you time you go around the corner to jangling jack's for a pre-dinner cocktail or beer.

super lovely people running the place! it's very cosy spot so no bookings but we were lucky that there was still space for us when we got there around 7:30pm.

had the roasted cauliflower, truffle spaghetti (served out of an awesome cheesewheel- like buffalo dining club) and carbonara. all amazing. they even make their own chilli sauce, which kind of reminds me of the chilli sauce you get when you have hainanese chicken rice. pretty sure i cleaned up half the jar...

would definitely go back 👌🏻

i love this place ! it's a simple menu and i loved every single thing i tried ! even the picked grapes in the salad and home made chilly source !! the spaghetti from truffle cheesewheelis definitely a must try! the boys are super friendly and knows they food well. only downsize is the place is a bit small, so to get a table is at lease one hour wait on friday night! but it is definitely worth it!

it was a culinary experience to dine at the chester white cured diner. the truffle spaghetti served out of a giant truffled pecorino cheesewheelwas indeed a spectacular sight! we were wowed by the deliciousness of the truffle pasta. serving was a little towards the small side, but the staff were really friendly! too bad they don't serve desserts!

chester white diner after one visit became a new favourite of mine, i’m that much of a fan i’ve even arrange to go back with friends on the weekend. they’ve nailed it with all the essentials – think quaffable wine and mouth-watering meats with low-key vibes in a retro diner. the truffled cacio e pepe needs special mention. spaghetti, olive oil and pepper is mixed in awheelof cheese so the flakes of mouth watering truffle parmesan are scraped off the sides as it’s mixed…. leaving you in total foodie heaven!
