Etto Pasta Bar - Melbourne

The restaurant has a fantastic interior design and is perfect for a casual dining experience. The pasta was decent, but on the pricier side for the portion size. The wait time was quite lengthy and the waiter who served us wasn't very friendly. However, the salad was surprisingly delicious and unique.

I recently enjoyed a casual dinner with friends at this restaurant. The prices were very reasonable and the quality was good for the value. I appreciated being able to customize each component of my pasta dish. I chose pesto, fettucine, smokey pancetta, and rocket. It was delicious, but the sauce was a bit overwhelming. The truffle parmesan chips were tasty as well, although slightly stale. The service was good overall.

Pasta taste was okay, and it was also reasonably-priced. However, the wait for the pasta was too long in my opinion as there were only 2 staff around when I visited (on a weekday for dinner) and they had to prepare the takeaway/delivery orders in addition to dine-in ones.

Service rapide décontracté. Des recettes italiennes, une fraicheur des produits.Bref un régal dans un budget tout à fait correct.

I was disappointed by the high prices at Vapiano, but I found Etto in the new St. James Place courtyard on William Street behind 535 Bourke. The pasta is freshly made to order, packed with delicious flavors, and served at a reasonable price of $13-15. I tried the gnocchi amatriciana and was very satisfied. I will definitely be returning.
