Pastabilities
Tucked away in a small Greenwith shopping centre, this hidden gem is more than meets the eye. With a simple façade and location, this restaurant offers much more than the average Italian eatery. It has something for everyone, with dishes ranging from fettuccine to pasta shapes and fillings. Their signature spicy hot tomato oil is an absolute must-try!
They use only the freshest local ingredients, with their bakery making fresh bread daily. The artisan bread perfectly complements their signature sauces, including Pastabilities’ famous Spicy Hot Tomato Oil, which you can buy in various sizes online.
Pastabilities also make a wide selection of gnocchi flavours, ravioli, and lasagne options. With a menu that changes regularly, there’s always something new to try! You won’t want to miss their fried Mexican street corn. It’s coated in cheese, spices, cilantro, and lime garlic aioli.
Peppe’s
The refrigerated pasta section of the supermarket is getting a lot more attention as consumers shift back to ready-made meals to tame rising living costs. The range has become more varied and complex, from eggplant parmigiana tortellini made by Rana to lasagne-filled ravioli from Latina Fresh.

With a slew of new Italian favourites on the menu, including red and white gnocchi bianchi sauced in earthy cauliflower puree with oyster mushrooms and crisped sage, Peppe’s has found its niche on this Bondi strip. A succinct blackboard menu with a few dishes and wine by the glass — including a grippy field blend from South Australia’s Fun Wines – keeps prices low, with a pasta dish, side and drink adding up to around $40.
Founded by Joe Guida, whose family has been making pasta in Haberfield for generations, Peppe’s uses old-school techniques with a plant-based approach, proving that carb-rific staples don’t need to be made from animal products to taste great. With the backing of local suppliers such as EVOO from McLaren Vale and premium prawns from the pristine waters of Australia’s southern coastline, Peppe’s offers the best of the country’s produce.
Pasta & Pasta Sauces
A pot of perfectly al dente pasta is a blank canvas for endless worlds of sauce possibilities. From bright tomato sauces, like traditional marinara and spicy arrabbiata, to creamy Alfredo and vibrant pesto – the sky’s the limit when it comes to saucing your noodles.
Narrow, strand and ribbon pasta (including angel hair, capellini, chitarra, fedelini and spaghetti) pair best with light tomato or vegetable-based and more delicate cream sauces. Thicker-shaped pasta, like orecchiette, lumache, gramigna, lardo, and pappardelle, is best with a thick tomato and rich butter-based and chunky meat sauces.

A recent Canstar Blue review found Dolmio to be Australia’s top-rated pre-made pasta sauce brand, scoring five stars for taste, consistency, variety and packaging design. You can find Dolmio pasta sauces in Coles stores and at selected Woolworths outlets. Toss the fettuccine with a generous splash of the reserved starchy cooking water, egg white and parmesan mixture and serve immediately.
Pasta Market
Located in the Adelaide Central Market, this providore’s window display of sliced meat and Italian antipasto will attract you before you even get to the stall. The family-owned business has been in operation since 1959, and you can sample their fresh pasta on a lunch platter ($14 small/$22 large) or order individual slices from the case.
Local foodie Jen Pedder suggests Cantina Sociale for “a cool and intimate wine bar” in the East End. The small corner space has a rustic feel, with plaster giving way to brick and exposed globes lighting the area.
