The food was fantastic and the service very friendly. We had a great spot on the terrace outside. Mrs Pasta Balmain offers a cozy and authentic Italian dining experience in Sydney’s Balmain neighborhood. Guests have praised the restaurant for its delicious homemade dishes and friendly service. One diner commented, “The most wonderful restaurant! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was lovely and the owners are fantastic! Will certainly be back!

We recently had the pleasure of dining at Mrs Pasta on a Saturday night. We ordered spaghetti meatballs, fettuccine bosciolla, fettuccine francesco, spaghetti bolognaise, garlic bread and an Italian salad. All the meals were delicious and plentiful. We could not finish it all and took some home. The salad was a proper salad- the kind you would make at home with a variety of veggies and not just mixed leaves with traces of other veggies. This was a proper Italian meal with lots of flavour. The restaurant had a cheery feel with pretty lights, real plants, a couple of parrots and cute little Italian style table cloths. Great food and nice atmosphere. Well worth a visit.

After watching Mrs Pasta on TikTok, we just had to try this place! The portions for the price were such great value and the flavours were incredible. I got penne puttanesca, hubby got fettuccine bolognese with a [HUGE] pork schnitzel and son got spaghetti bolognese. We also had garlic bread to share, which was one of the best I’ve ever had. The décor was adorable and warm - lots of colour. And the birds were so cute. I also got the zucchini spaghetti to take home as dinner was so divine

An authentic Italian restaurant with great options available for pasta and schnitzel's to choose from. Many combinations of pasta and salad on the menu. Beautiful flavour and aroma of home cooked meal. Very small venue so please make a booking. Service was fast and fresh. A bit on the pricy side but you are paying for great quality and portions. Enjoyed the food, one of the best Italian restaurants in Sydney. Will go back to try the other dishes. Oh yes, also great dessert selection, all home made. 😋
