pastizzi cafe

the pastizzi are really nice, no wonder they are so popular. you can even buy a bunch and cook it yourself at home. but the best for me in this restaurant are the homemade raviolis. second time i ve been here and i’ll probably comeback . also a very fair price in my opinion .

varieties of pastizzis to choose from. couldn’t remember what i had but all were delicious.
lasagna was delicious but it was little bit cold during my last visit. spaghetti was delicious too, big portion.

visited the new venue of pastizzis. the amount of food is huge but the flavour just not there. it has off smell with the lasagna.

this place is always buzzing, and with good reason!

- the pastizzis are awesome - do try the spinach & ricotta, beef curry and chicken, bacon & leek. ($4.20)

- the date slice ($2.50) and kannoli are must try’s!

- get a frozen take home pack $20 for 12. worth every dollar.

service is excellent, it’s busy but they are great people. you won’t get a table for pastizzis only at night. book a table ahead for dinner

small little gem hidden in newtown! i went on a sunday arvo and it was super busy. food was delicious and a decent price, i need to come back to try their dessert menu! i would recommend if you’re craving for some italian

this place is always packed but worth the wait. it’s now my favourite place to carb load on pasta, i had the vongole spaghetti - it was a generous amount, the right amount of chilli (not too much) and prepare for a garlic hit (but that’s how it should be!)

i went back to grab dessert - tiramisu, spinach/ricotta pastizzi and chocolate/ricott pastizzi. all amazing.

the extra perk is if you can nab a table outside, it’s dog friendly - perfect for obsessed non-dog owners who get a bit of furry attention while dining.

pastizzi really does the italian cafe thing well, with hot strong coffee (a little rough but i liked it) and classic meals that are fairly cheap. the pastizzi are fantastic - they pack a lot of filling into them and somehow give a very rich taste (the spinach and ricotta must have had some great spices or something in it) - and are actually priced as snacks at $2.90, so you can get from 1 to 4 depending on your hunger and still feel like it's a cheap meal. the pastas are pretty good - good homemade ravioli and rich sauces plus they’re the only place i know of in sydney that does carbonara without cream - and the servings are very large for the price (when i got some takeaway, i made two dishes out of every serve).

this place is five-minute walk from my home. i've been visiting this restaurant for roughly six or seven times. they never let me down. considering the flavor and quality of food, the price is quite fair.

the were so many to choose from but you can always ask for some help and they will point you in the right direction. the pastizzi themselves were delicious. the staff quite nice and polite.

i lool forward to come back again

i had been wanting to come here for quite some time because it is always so busy. the cafe is a non pretentious eatery where the love is put into the food.

we came for take away dessert pastizzis and i was so happy with the service. they were so busy but yet multiple staff asked if we were ok and were so friendly.

the pastizzis are delicious and flaky. my favourite was the berry and custard. the tiramisu wasn’t bad, quite a simple one.

i have since gone for pasta and it was so good. non fussy, delicious pasta. cooked perfectly!

perfect pasta at pastizzi

a small cafe located at the centre of newtown, it's a small restaurant but i'm impressed on their services and food. the place was packed at lunchtime and we were excited to try their pasta.

the staff was friendly and always concider to the customer. they asked how was the food with a smile and told us recommendations for desserts.

the entre was fresh off the oven and it was really tasty, we had chicken mushrooms, salmon and chicken chorizo. we also had the spaghetti bolognese with their napolise sauce, it was delicious!

all of their pasta is fresh made with fresh ingredients, they we're cooked by perfection.

the pastizzi’s are delicious although a little dry because they sit under a hot light all day. note: its not easy to cut so it’s best eaten by hand. the pastas are also very delicious although they did come out in only 5 mins which is a little concerning. in this case, the non-fresh pastas don’t affect taste at all! would definitely go back. also it’s super cheap guys! shared entrée, shared dessert and 2 mains were under $50! most of the staff are also helpful, polite and friendly.

amazing little neighbourhood gem in newtown serving maltese food including pastizzi ($2.70 each), with lovely, flakey pastry and lots of fillings to choose from like traditional ricotta or mushy peas, as well as flavours like chicken and chorizo, chilli con carne and chocolate ricotta or apple cinnamon for dessert. 

we also tried their homemade ravioli filled with spinach and ricotta ($17), with a choice of sauce (napolitana, arrabiata, cream, pink or chilli and garlic oil) and opted for napolitana. the pasta was perfectly al dente for me, with a good bite to it although i feel like could be on the hard side for some people. the sauce was delicious and perfectly seasoned with the rich taste of tomatoes. 

we also ordered a bowl of the penne arrabiata ($17 - chilli and napolitana sauce), which was delicious, however i couldn't taste any chilli at all. they do have chilli flakes at the table, however, which is good if you want some added heat.

my partner who is maltese loved this place and is so happy to have found somewhere serving such wholesome and delicious food at a very reasonable price. it's a no frills eatery, which always seems quite busy with people eating in and also waiting for takeaway orders! definitely recommend checking it out, i'll be back to try some kannolis for dessert!

amazing place that is a family run business. the pastizzi are so yummy berry and custard is the best! the pasta is incredibly so fresh and full of flavour

extremely great hospitality! i've been twice and the staff have been amazing both times. bruschetta was nice, i liked the extra garlic. i ordered the salmon pasta which was also good, generous amount of salmon. only negative feedback i would give is the penne is store bought (they make their own ravioli in house though) and the pasta was drowned in a little bit too much sauce for my liking. might order the ravioli dishes instead next time.

being a local, i love popping by this place for a quick snack or light meal! the pastizzis are delicious, the staff are always friendly. worth checking out if your in the neighbourhood. nothing fancy, just simple affordable food done good!
