Perhaps it's because I can't deal with spice, but I was the only one out of my group that thought the pasta sauce was a little spicy. Still a delicious sauce and tastes good in any way! Apparently if you add chilli (which is offered for free), you'll get a lovely hot arrabiata. Comes with some grilled bread (supposedly garlic, but it's definitely more olive oil then garlic. Still good though). I love some good handmade food, and am surprised to find this quality on USYD's campus. Service is brisk and may come off a tad aggressive but when you consider the speed at which they pump out food, forgivable. I am a fan of the large selection of drinks, desserts, and meals-to-go (i.e salads, pastas, sandwiches). If you try one thing, try the cheeseburger with bacon. My god, I could marry this burger. Truly dangerous and addicting stuff! Juicy beef, crispy bacon, perfectly melted cheese (when it gets a little crunchy mmm), and the wonderfully acidic bite of pickles to cut through everything. The burger is actually refreshing, despite the richness of everything else. The bread holds up well to the sauce and maintains integrity, saving white shirts everywhere. The atmosphere is great, but the constant shouting of order numbers ruins this and brings about many headaches with the ceaseless nature. If the weather permits, I suggest enjoying the great food out on the soccer or on the steps of the Education Building/Annex.

I stood away for merely 2 minutes taking a phone and had my order screamed aggressively and shoved in my face when collecting. The attitude is astonishing. Not only was the flavour bitter, I scolded my mouth and had a blister for days. After speaking with a few students about my experience I was made aware of her recurring rudeness and told to avoid the cafe at all costs. Such a shame as itās new and fresh; shame the staff didnāt get updated with the renovations. Food is decent, but atmosphere to sit and try and wind down after a 2 hour tutorial, please take my advice and go to the Wilkinson Building where thereās much more variety and much...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI came here and ordered a burger with only ketchup but they gave me one with everything on it. They offered to remake it, but then they remade it incorrectly again and at this point I was late for class so I got a refund and moved on. A couple months later I decided to give it another chance. After being careful to make sure it was properly heard that I wanted only ketchup on my burger, I was served a burger with ketchup and mustard. I had been served the incorrect order 3 times despite only going to Ralph's twice. At this point I just ate the burger I was served, but it was only a 3/10 burger anyways. The rest of their food might be good, but I could not recommend them less if you're looking...
