Rustichella Pasta Bar is an absolute gem of an authentic Italian restaurant and bar specialising in pasta and regional cuisine from Bologna, found tucked away in Nundah village.

Diners can take a seat alongside the garden bed on the al fresco terrace or the contemporary high-ceilinged interior which is given a touch of Euro rusticity with the ceiling beams, pendant lighting, timber and stone trimmings and hanging vines.

The hero here is the food, which is amongst the best Italian cuisine to be found in Brisbane, with all pasta made freshly onsite from scratch daily. It is recommended that you start with the house specialty Crescentine - traditional fried dough with a choice of mortadella or prosciutto di parmi and parmesan.
