🇮🇹 Go for the Ravioli & Risotto! 🍝✨

A lovely Italian restaurant near Western Sydney University (UWS) — and it feels like you're dining in a library, surrounded by book-themed decor! 📚🍷 📍 Location: Situated on Amsterdam Avenue, the restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor seating. We chose to sit inside because of the charming book-lined walls. The tables are a bit small and the plates are modestly sized — cozy, though slightly cramped, but it all adds to the intimate vibe. 👨‍🍳 Service: The staff were wonderful — attentive and happy to offer recommendations! 🍴 Food: The food was delicious! Everything tasted fresh and felt like it was made that same day. Garlic Bread: Oh my — this was the best garlic bread I’ve ever had! Perfectly paired with burrata. 🧄🍞🧀 Burrata: So fresh and creamy. The beets were sweet — I was shocked by how good it was! Fritto Misto: The squid was tender inside and crispy outside. 🦑 Cacio e Pepe Ravioli: THIS WAS THE STAR! 🤩 Al dente pasta with a creamy filling, topped with truffle shavings — ORDER THIS! 🥟🍄 Risotto: A must-order! Cooked perfectly — I could eat this every day! 🍚 Braised Beef Short Rib: My least favorite. Though the meat was soft and melted in the mouth, it wasn’t particularly memorable. The sauce and mashed potatoes were decent. Mocha Tiramisu: YOU HAVE TO ORDER THIS! So delicious — the perfect dessert! Soft, rich, and a dream for mocha lovers. ☕🍰 Crème Brûlée: Not my favorite. The custard was soft, but the lavender flavor made it taste a bit too floral. 🍮💜 🥤 Drink: Blood Orange Soda: A refreshing Italian soda — tangy and delicious! 🍊🧊 💰 Price Rating: 7/10 — honestly, not bad for the quality and freshness! I’ll definitely be back to try more dishes. Must-orders: Risotto, Cacio e Pepe Ravioli, and Mocha Tiramisu! 🏼 #ItalianEats #SydneyFood #BookLoversCafe #RavioliLove #RisottoGoals #MochaTiramisu
