The Italian Bowl - Newtown

The pasta here never disappoints! We always take our family (visiting from overseas) here to get a taste of authentic Italian. The service is super fast and the staff are very friendly. The mushroom risotto is consistently fantastic. Please note that it’s not a place to chit chat and have a relaxed dinner. It’s like a local live kitchen, super busy and buzzing. It can get very loud and because of the quick service, you might feel rushed. However the staff make you feel welcome and DO NOT rush you whatsoever. We’ll keep going there again, confident that it will be awesome as always.

A great little Italian placed, seemed family run and service was great, food was good but a little salty (also didn’t think it was great that they charge extra for cheese! Recommended.

Very nice, I visited here 3 times and it always serves good foods and staff are friendly. Portions are quite decent so 2 main menus for 2 people could be a little too much We ordered 1 pasta and 2 sides and it was more than enough. Definitely a must-try place, price is reasonable compared to other italian restaurants as well! It’s a very popular place so it might be too noisy but otherwise we were very happy to visit!

It's not fine dinning but it's great food great atmosphere. Depending on time fast service. The family usually come here. The cost are good for the quality of food

Best pasta ever, great flavour, fast service and friendly staff. gets busy at evenings and nights, recommend booking, sometimes has lines for the wait, definitely needs more room for seating.
