pastizzi cafe

mouthwatering pastizzi. priced at $2 each, these delicious pastizzi are just about the best value breakfast or lunch you can get in the area. they are generously sized and it only takes 2-3 to fill you up. beautiful crisp pastry around a variety of fresh fillings - my favourites are feta and ricotta and the cherry cheese. haven't tried any of the larger meals because the pastizzi are just too good (and cheap) to resist.

what's the big deal?. it's just pastry with a bit of dry filling. good that it is open late, but this place is always packed and i can't figure out why. newtown has far better on offer.

these homemade maltese pastries and jumbo italian ravioli are flavour-bomb! the beef & dark ale pastizzi is super crispy and utterly delicious. the pasta are so satisfying 🍝. it has a busy bustling atmosphere which is very inviting. highly recommended 👍👍👍

amazing pasta and meat dishes especially the meatballs!!!

pastizzi is normal, nothing special. pasta is dissapointed, its texture is not as i expected, it has a hard texture, seems like it was not cooked long enough. we came at 12pm.. we wait for 25 mins for a pasta. customer service is good and friendly enough. i think i only come back here for the pastizzi on my casual breakky, as it comes faster than pasta.

twice ive been here and the ravioli wasnt available. they have all morning to prepare it :) sad sad sad

the pastizzi's are amazing, perfect thin flaky, crisp flaky pastry with delicious fillings on the inside, my personal favourites are the mexi bean and the spinach & ricotta. their pastas are amazing as well, i have had their ravioli before which is fantastic and on my recent trip i had gnocchi in pesto sauce. the gnocchi was cooked perfectly and the pesto sauce was delicious i enjoyed every mouthful. the only issue with this place i have ever had was last time i was there i was served by a young girl who seemed to be disinterested in serving me, she never gave me a menu or bought over table water i had to get it myself and i ended up having to order at the counter after about half an hour of her not coming near my table but serving others around me. the owners and all of the other staff are lovely and provide great service so not sure what happened last time, i must say i hadn't seen that girl before maybe she was new. either way i will still go there for the wonderful food.

have been supporting this lovely restaurant even before their move. great food, especially their desserts and pastizzis! to top it all off, impeccable service. staffs take their time to get to know their customers well. sadly, i’m leaving australia due to covid situation, will definitely come back again when it gets better.

ordered the lasagne beef and penne pollo pesto.

the lasagne was mediocre. however, the pasta dish was excellent. the pesto sauce is housemade and delicious. flavour sensation.

service was quick and food arrived fast considering the place was packed.

with great food, service and serving sizes this place is a gem! i had the linguine boscaiola and the company had a marinara spaghetti type dish. the pastizzi's are perfectly flaky and the range of flavours are great. they even had rabbit on the menu which (whilst not my thing-must appeal to lots of ppl) tbh the only thing that let this place down was the interior. there appeared to be several parts to the restaurant. all very messy and toilets outside at the back too but food was very tasty :d will be back

pastizzi cafe bases its menu around various pastas, and most importantly it's eponymous pastry known as the pastizzi! the pastizzi is a humble little thing, not at all anything fancy. flaky pastry forms a small parcel which encases a gourmet centre which can be sweet or savoury - take your pick! the kitchen is a factory line which is constantly churning out the freshly baked treat to hungry hoards of customers throughout the day

by far the best pasta i have ever had. their pastizzi’s are so fresh and full of flavour, have it with the home made sauce even better.. you taste the freshness and authenticity in the food and you won’t find better ravioli anywhere else.

fettuccine boscaiola ($16), spaghetti and meatballs ($16) and pastizzi ($2.90) apple and cinnamon and chilli con carne. the pastries really hit the spot being that they were flaky and warm - my favourite of the two being the chilli con carne. both pastas were also made really well, can’t tell if the dough itself was made by hand but in any regards portion sizes were huge and very filling. great joint for quick meal and staff are lovely 👍

i love this local cafe/restaurant - i love their pastizzi (both sweet & savoury), i love their no nonsense menu (especially the spaghetti with meatballs), i love their wait staff who deal with busy shifts with a smile and good attitudes. i can’t eat here a lot as it’s pretty rich, but when i do i’m pretty happy

we went here for a super quick dinner on our way home. my daughter was starving and i promised her gnocchi with cheese. we stood waiting for a lengthy amount of time and were incredibly disappointed that none of the servers acknowledged us, despite several walking past us 2-3 times. no hello, smile, or "i'll be with you in a minute". no acknowledgement from the server behind the counter - just a quick glance in a very unfriendly manner. we gave up waiting and started to sit at a dirty and cluttered table. as we did so, a server came over to us to say the table was reserved. no hello, no nothing, no offer to sit at a table outside, she simply walked away. they obviously have so much business they don't give a crap whether or not a new customer comes along. lenny, perhaps you need to take note of what goes on when you are not around. needless to say, i am no longer recommending this place to any of my customers and i am never going back to your cafe. you've lost me as a customer.
