Quiet, corner side intimate Italian restaurant, with a neon sign. It’s perfect for date night. <br/ <br/ We ate the following dishes off the $55 chefs menu degustation: <br/ Cacio e Pepe Donuts a signature dish on the menu. The donuts are lightly fried, with subtle pepper flavouring and sweetness from the mountain of shaved Parmesan cheese on top. <br/ Burrata Tomato Togarashi. Cutting into a ball of burrata and seeing the oozing creamy cheese explode onto the plate is sheer joy. <br/ <br/ Kingfish Shiso Blood Plum Cucumber. The kingfish prepared carpaccio style was thinly sliced and balanced well with the fresh ingredients. <br/ <br/ Pumpkin Ravioli Pistachios Burnt Butter. I was looking fo...
Moreton Bay Bug Tagliatelle $39) 3.5/5<br/ chilli tagliatelle, moreton bay bug, garlic chive juice, chilli bisque, dill<br/ <br/ From the use of the Moreton Bag Bug head to the arrangement of the pasta, the presentation of this dish was absolutely immaculate. The tagliatelle was perfectly al dente, while the moreton bag bug was fresh and extremely succulent. However, the flavour of the chilli bisque was odd and ultimately failed to tie the dish together. An improved sauce would definitely have completed this pasta dish.<br/ <br/ Cacio e Pepe $21) 4/5<br/ spaghetti, pecorino, black pepper<br/ <br/ This dish exemplifies how less can be more. The grated pecorino cheese and black pepper combined...
Great little spot in Darlinghurst for dinner. Italian with Asian inspirations. <br/ I came as a group of 4 hungry people and ended up ordering almost everything on the menu as we couldn't decide. <br/ Highlights were the Rice Cake Scamorzas, Tuna Tartare and Bonemarrow.<br/ The rice cakes are a call to spicy/sweet korean rice cake skewers with the scamorza being a great addition to the otherwise classic. Tuna Tartare was fresh, punchy and hit all the right notes, with Bonemarrow being indulgent, rich and exactly what you would want on a cold night. <br/ <br/ The only thing that our party didn't particularly enjoy was the black garlic bread with miso butter which was very similar to a spongy...
Picked this place instead of another last minute (because of a mixup with bookings) and was seriously not disappointed.<br/ <br/ This little, modern Italian spot is the perfect date night venue. Casual dining with an added touch of intimacy, the food is meant for sharing and drinks menu boasts an impressive cocktail selection.<br/ <br/ We had the Menu Fisso, a 5 course degustation menu filled with a mixture of traditional Italian, as well as some modern, Asian fusion meals (that’s how I would describe it).<br/ <br/ The drinks are also very good, we had a couple of cocktails off their menu, as well as the cocktail of the month (Watermelon).<br/ <br/ Would highly recommend, a couple of drinks...

Spiced mocktail $10), black garlic bread miso butter $6), rice cake, chilli with scamorza $7), crab spaghetti $31), bone marrow with potato cake $14), rice pudding tiramisu $12) and yuzu panna cotta with kumquat $12). Favourite dishes of the night and must haves) were the bone marrow and tiramisu. The black garlic bread, rice cake and spaghetti were all amazing in their own right. However, if I could reorder our main dish, instead of the spaghetti I would have gotten the duck ragu papardelle or the pumpkin ravioli. Only dish that I didn’t enjoy was the yuzu panna cotta. All the dishes were inventive and a lot of attention and care went into finessing these dishes.
The standout dishes were the black garlic bread and wagyu carpaccio toast flavour combinations were executed perfectly and Asian influences were apparent would come back just for these starters.<br/ <br/ The pasta dishes I got, scarlet prawn and Moreton bay bug, were average. Pasta a bit on the thicker and chewier side and sauces were more like pastes. Though flavours were there, it didn’t complement the delicate produce ie scarlet prawns and Moreton bay bugs. Would’ve preferred if sauce was smoother and a big lighter.
Casoni was recommended to me by a friend and I am so glad we acted upon the recommendation. The food is creative and their matching of ingredients interesting. The ambiance is relaxed, the staff helpful and they have a new pasta dish every single week. I am looking forward to going back to try more of their pasta dishes. #italianfood #pasta #burrata
Definitely a neighbourhood gem! The small restaurant with awesome interior. I loved their kingfish and burrata dishes. Absolutely loved the fusion of flavours in their dishes. Their desserts weren’t that great though unfortunately, but everything else was great! Our waiter was absolutely amazing, super friendly and accommodating.

Cosy restaurant for date night. They have changing pasta specials as well as staples. The burrata starter and pumpkin ravioli were my favourite from the night.
Nice taste, nice service. It use a lot of popular and fresh food raw material in the pasta. Very creative! Definitely it deserve come to next time!
