I’ve been going to Fasta Pasta for years, albeit at various locations around Adelaide. The meals are quick, cheap and casual. The current promotion at the moment is their $7 lunches, which almost makes them irresistible. Today, I ordered the Ravioli Montavana, which is basically mushroom added to bolognese sauce. The ravioli was cooked well….

La Trattoria
I find it annoying that most restaurants close their kitchens by about 9pm. La Trattoria is one of the few restaurants in Adelaide that buck this trend. Located on King William Street, this restaurant offers all your traditional Italian favourites. This family run business has staff that are warm and inviting. The service here is…
Passatempo Caffe
If you’re wandering down Gouger Street, but you’re not feeling too adventurous food wise, Passatempo is the place for you. Located on Gouger Street, this basically decorated cafe offers all your traditional Italian fare. The staff here are friendly and inviting, and the service is good. On this particular occasion, I ordered the Calzone Rustico….
San Giorgio
This place brings back so many memories. Back in the days when I was studying late at university, this was the only place open at 5am. These days, it’s a place where we go when all the other restaurants are booked out. Perhaps it says something about the place, perhaps not. I love the pizza’s at…
Milano Cucina
Milano Cucina is located down at the quieter end of Hutt Street inside the Channel 10 building. The décor is contemporary with your standard commercial fittings. The menu is inspired by the northern Italian region however there is an Australian influence within. Tonight, we ordered the Margherita Pizza. The dish was ready 15 minutes after…
Charlie’s Diner – Brighton
I used to come to this Charlies Diner when I was in high school. Back then I used to think the food was OK, but having come here recently, my expectations have changed considerably. As others have suggested, it is your typical buffet restaurant with Asian food, Italian food, a roast and a variety of…
Cafe Mondiali
Cafe Mondiali is across the road from the dance studio where I learn salsa. A group of us usually frequent this place when we feel like Italian after class. I’ve had several dishes here and I must say, they are fairly average. Located on Unley Road, this place offers everything you would expect to find…
Enzo’s Ristorante
Hands down the best Italian restaurant in Adelaide! To actually get a table here, I had to book a few months in advance, but when the day finally arrived, it was well worth it! Located next to the Entertainment Centre, Enzo’s offers you traditional Italian cuisine in fine dining style. The price point is a…
Cafe Palazzo – North Adelaide
I usually come to Cafe Palazzo just before I bust out some of my salsa moves at the New Caledonian. Located at the northern end of O’Connell Street, this spacious restaurant offers all your traditional Italian fare. As you expect, the place is palatially decorated with a contemporary feel. The atmosphere is relaxed and the…
Fasta Pasta – South Tce
When I want to go out for cheap Italian, this place is one step up from getting Italian food at a food court. It’s probably miles behind the best Italian restaurant, but the food here is cheap and the service is usually good. I remember when this particular store was located on Pirie Street. It…
