Tipo 00

Little Bourke Street’s buzzing pasta bar. Intimate, warm, completely intoxicating. Chef Andreas Papadakis deals in absolute sprezzatura—effortless culinary mastery translated into hand-rolled primi. The texture? Flawlessly al dente. Pasta purists from across the globe point to this cozy dining room as the absolute pinnacle of Melbourne dining. They aren't wrong. Expect silky squid ink tagliolini and a duck pappardelle so rich you’ll want to fare la scarpetta just to catch every last drop of sauce. The gnocchi is impossibly velvety—a sheer flavor explosion alongside smooth, delicate carpaccio. Service is sharp, deeply knowledgeable, yet totally unpretentious. Pro tip: ask the staff to split your mains so you can taste more, and absolutely do not skip the playful Tipomisu for dolce. Snag a booking or try your luck for a walk-in stool at the bar—just get in there.
