mark + vinny's spaghetti & spritz

the waitress was very friendly and helpful but the food was just average the pork ragu was nice but have had better. the pasta was a bit overcooked for my liking. i was disappointed that spaghetti bolognese was not on the menu as when i think italian i think bolognese and it should be a staple on any menu in my mind

been on the list for sooo long but every time i wanted to go, it was booked out! so it is a good idea to book ahead if you're after a friday night or weekend.

service was amazing and a lovely man who stood outside even shook our hand as we walked in and all the other staff were just so friendly as well.

had to try the vegan egg while there so ordered the charcoal pasta. along with zucchini flowers, beetroot pasta, salad, and nutella ravioli for dessert. all vegan! the food was great, really enjoyed everything, especially the beetroot pasta and the dessert was perfect! probably wouldn't go for the flowers again and i did find the salad very fresh, but heavy on the oil so would ask for less if possible.

overall, really liked it! it was a tad pricey but the quality of food is great. def would visit again.

my friend and i came here on saturday night with no booking, and they graciously fit us in providing it was really busy! service exceeded any place we've ever been to. the food to say the least, was mind blowing. we had the beetroot spaghetti and the zucchini noodles. i would opt for the beetroot spaghetti as it was so creamy, cooked perfectly, and best part - completely vegan. zucchini noodles were great but i would probably choose a carb dish next time. we also had the zucchini flowers to start with, and that was also amazing. can't fault the place!

delicious vegan food, tasty cocktails and a+ customer service. the ambience was warm and the staff made us feel so welcome. love their passion for recommending food/drinks and how they genuinely wanted to make sure that their customers were having a good dining experience.

we fell madly in love with spritz and spaghetti when holidaying in italy so when a small restaurant dedicated to those two things opened up five minutes from home, we felt obliged to check it out. the bright sign of mark + vinny’s is visible from distance and hard to miss. the restaurant itself is dimly lit in neon light while bottles of aperol sprits are neatly lined up on a top shelf under “fly me to the moon” sign. and the fly me to the moon ($18) spritz was what we started with to soak up the friday vibe.

vanessa: a place that offers copious variations of spritz-based cocktails and colourful vegan and non-vegan pasta is sure to get people talking.  bianca and i found ourselves at the recently opened mark & vinny’s spaghetti & spritz bar one tuesday evening.  the fact that it was a “school night” was no deterrent for patrons who willingly waited for a seat at this latest surry hills hot spot.

craving for spaghetti?? and drinks?!!? then i would definitely recommend this place!!! perfect to dine and chill! flavours were perfect! and because it’s located in surry hills, it has the perfect fun vibe!!!!! service was good too and was very attentive!!!

probably the best pasta i have had in sydney! i got the lamb ragu and it just melts in your mouth. everything we ordered was incredible, the vegan mac and cheese is perfect you can’t even tell it’s vegan. the brussel sprouts were crispy and delicious, and the cocktails were absolutely gorgeous and tasty. this place is certainly a hidden gem in surry hills! will definitely be back to try more of their pasta dishes.

the food was fairly good but that's it, nothing to justify the high prices. the ragu pasta didn't seem to have high quality meat or notable flavours. i got a "meal deal" that makes me really worry about some of the serving sizes - the pasta serve was average but there were just two little arancini (i really hope the $17 entree has a lot more of them) and one little cannoli, so it wasn't even a big meal for $35, let alone a memorable meal. hell, i even think nearby pasta emilia is overpriced but they do much more interesting pasta for the same price as m+v.

absolutely beautiful pasta here! the pasta is fresh and the sauces are delicious. one of the best pastas i've had in awhile

fieri di zucca : 😍 amazing
blue spirulina tagliatelle : 😍 amazing
lasagne vegano : 😍 amazing
virgin matcha spritz : 😍 amazing

from the minute we walked in, everything was outstanding from service to food to atmosphere. lovely service from waitstaff. fried zucchini flowers were delicious and paired well with their homemade chilli oil. the blue spirulina pasta with blue swimmer crab was brought to us from kitchen heaven and you believe it when they tell you the lasagne is 100% vegan. everyone has to get the matcha spritz. not only does it look stunning but it tastes super refreshing and if you want to booze it up, just add a shot of gin! my favourite italian restaurant by far.

absolutely perfection! top service for us and food that could not be faulted. first the zucchini flowers were super crunchy and absolutely delicious! the vegan lasagne tastes just like normal lasagne and the blue swimmer crab pasta was my favorite, all bursting with flavour! the beetroot pasta was also delicious along with the deep fried ravioli dessert. we had virgin spritz (matcha & watermelon) both so refreshing. i’ve never tasted ones so good !

absolutely incredible! the food here is absolutely incredible. i highly recommend the vegan lasagna, it is highly nutritious due to the large variety of extracts and ingredients used to create this masterpiece. the nutella ravioli is a very smart idea and i felt very indulgent. you know that the place is fancy when they offer you sparkling and/or still water 👌🏼☺️

when one of the owners takes time to warmly welcome each guest to this small but cosy restaurant, you know you're in for a good stay.
but first.... *** the place is very small and extremely noisy. so noisy that you'll be challenged to hear yourself think, so if you're after a first date venue or somewhere to have good conversation, maybe steer clear or sit outside under the heaters where it's a lot more quiet ****
our dinner got off to a great start with a tiramisu espressotini and a passionfruit spritz mocktail. we followed that up with share plates of gluten free pasta (made from chickpea) with a sauce made from pork + fennel sausage which was simply deluxe! and a salad accompaniment "from nonna's backyard"... a really generous serve of rocket, asparagus, parmesan, fennel and lemon vinaigrette for just $12.
our shared dessert of gluten-free tiramisu ($18) was one of the best we've ever tried. olive oil chocolate sponge was layered with lightly-drunken marscapone cream and a disc of chocolate halfway down the glass which gave a surprise crunch and added flavour.
m&v's isn't cheap but the service is friendly and the food is a+++ so in my book, it's worth a treat visit every now and then.

(coeliacs note: while the polenta chips appear on the menu as gluten free, they're actually fried in shared oil... which was such a disappointment to my coeliac partner)

cosy italian place with beautifully colored, well-cooked pasta, and friendly staff. you could tell that the beef ragu had had time to slow cook because the flavors were so prominent. the crab pasta was very subtle and paired well with their homemade chilli. the focaccia bread had a nice char to it although i would’ve preferred it slightly less so. overall a nice experience !
