Great place for take home pasta and the 3 pack choices are a fabulous option. Lovely friendly service. Garlic bread was a little disappointing, but pasta was lovely. Will definitely be returning.

We always stop here either on our way to Adelaide or to back home to Hindmarsh Island. Love their coffee and cakes. Got the beef lasagne last week to share with daughter & grandson and it tasted very good. I think I over heated it but was still very good to eat, the flavour is just as authentic to Italian pasta sauce. On the way home we got take home lunch pack of pasta and an extra bolognaise sauce for latter in the week. Yum. They also have the pasta sauce in jars which I will buy next time. So if you're driving through you must stop in and also have a look at the photos on the wall. Geez I reminisce our Mediterranean holiday. Thank you Pasta Chef on our experience there. Cheers Gina & Tony

Coffee is excellent. The gelato very yummo. All your pasta needs in one place. Personally haven't tried any of it but it all looks exceptional Great looking lunches and take away meals. Well done guys, I like the whole concept

Stopped late one night for dinner, beef ravioli with bacon and mushroom, and a sales caramel ice-cream. Both tasted like you had an Italian mum cooking for you. Owners bright and cheerful. It is more a take away place than eat in but perfect if passing through. Hardest part is deciding which pasta to get. Also bought a loaf of sourdough that was equally fantastic quality..

Best coffee in Compass, hard to find better coffee in a 30 km radius. Great food, gluten free options. Staff are fabulous. I can't think of anything I could fault them for. The owner makes his own gelati with seasonal fruits and it's the best I've had in 3 states and 2 countries
