A true Melbourne hospitality venue, Park Street Pasta goes above and beyond with their attention to detail, level of service and fantastic hand made pasta along with a menu filled with dishes from the homeland. With so much Italian on offer in Melbourne it is refreshing to find a venue that is able keep the menu and experience engaging whilst authentic. Stand out dishes for me would be the Kingfish, Tartare, King Prawn Pasta, Pistachio Brûlée and a dish of roast peppers and anchovy cream. Thanks team for a wonderful experience.
