La Cucina Della Pasta — Restaurant in Brisbane City

There aren’t many food court Italian joints around, but La Cucina Della Pasta located in the Sunnybank Plaza food court seems to have struck the right recipe for success. They have a standing lineup of about a dozen items, mostly pasta, but including some pizza options, a rice mains, and a chicken wings dish. Pizza can be ordered as a whole or by the slice. There’s also a specials menu on a whiteboard atop the counter - on the day of our visit this featured one pasta and one pizza option.

We ordered: Mentaiko pasta, $16 Smoked salmon & prawn pasta, $16 Chicken karaage pizza piece, $4 (specials board)

My mentaiko pasta came with a heap of the spicy cod roe and was full of umami goodness. I was definitely happy with this choice and preferred it to wifey’s pick of the salmon & prawn. The boy’s choice of the karaage chicken pizza piece was a predictable though satisfying one - the pizza dough here is made fresh throughout the day and this particular pizza was made to order - I thought the base was quite good and the crust had a nice level of chew to it. For reference, one piece = 1/4 of a whole pizza, and ours was cut into 2 slices. The mayo on top is a DIY option.

Overall pretty happy with this meal, and I’d be happy to...

I’ll just say it now. These were some of the best pizzas I’ve ever tried! 🍕💯

We were recently introduced to this hidden gem in @sunnybankplaza called @lacuccinadellapasta located on the right side to the cinemas. They offer a variety of pasta and pizzas.

Here’s what we got (to my best memory 🤣) : • Pepperoni Pizza • Ham & Mushroom Pizza • Seafood Pasta • Ham & Mushroom Pasta (The names of the pastas on the menu are different so please ask them if you can’t figure out which one’s which 😌)

Personally I prefer pizza over pasta so I’ll start with the pizza. My favourite out of the two was the ham & mushroom pizza. Both pizzas were delicious but I’m not a huge fan of pepperoni 😅. The bases were super super soft, just the way I prefer my pizza 😌 The portion sizes were very good considering the prices!

The pastas were really nice with some nice flavours! The portion were quite large and we comfortably shared the two pastas (as well as the pizzas) among 4 of us 🥰🙌

Highly recommend checking @lacuccinadellapasta out. You’ll...

I have been to expensive, up market Pizzerias. Where they charge upwards of $38 per 🍕. I have tried every 4 stars and above pizza places in and around my local area. What I thought was good has now become average. After a day of reading reviews for new and exciting restaurants and eateries in the Sunnybank area, I came acrossed this place. It has excellent reviews, it is quite an odd sight to see something other than cafes or Asian food in the food court in the middle of Sunnybank. I knew I had to make the trip to taste for myself the wonders of such a highly rated pizza. To my surprise, the owner and the magic 🍕 marker is a lovely and friendly Japanese gentleman. He basically runs the show by himself. The pizza doughs are made fresh as the orders comes in. Service is fast and wait time is minimal. This is now my go to pizza stop, no others can compare. Don't believe me??? Try it for yourself, for $12 you cannot get anything better. Nona can retire from the kitchen, I've found someone who is a...
