How come their pasta menu has two different prices? serve size or? If it is, I assume this $10 pasta lunch will be the smaller portion?
- doweyy on 06/01/2018 - 12:23
  
  It’s entree and main sizing, my portion last time was a good size so I believe it’s main for $10.

  Beware. The serving size of the "mains" in the Perth restaurant was comically small.

      Agreed tried the canberra one once when it opened up and was disappointed, tried it again after a few months and was even more disappointed. The price is way too high for the level of quality received.

      Agreed. Also ate at the canberra restaurant just the other night. Was it nice? Sure. Would I pay the normal menu price for it? Definitely not.
      
      I actually likened it to something that could be whipped up at home with a bit of cooking knowledge.

also, curious, do they run this promotion every year?

      Of course they will and never be embarrassed to ask for tap water. In fact, I think they need to provide it as an option by law but I may be wrong… I am pretty sure they provide it anyway. Enjoy your pasta (and tap water :-). You may want to book because they do fill up fast (at least the one in Perth used to).

      @mrhatken: If a venue sells alcohol, by law they have to provide free water (in NSW at the very least)
    - Xebozone on 06/01/2018 - 17:30
      
      They need to provide free tap water by law. I remember when I was young, some restaurants used to charge significantly for water (they said it was imported). Laws changed that. You can still buy your high-priced imported water if you want :)
    - Ughhh on 06/01/2018 - 19:03
      
      @Xebozone:
      
      If they serve alcohol (have a liquor licence), they need to provide free drinking tap water. If they don't serve alcohol, it's optional I believe.
      
      I doubt a well known restaurant doesn't serve alcohol.

      I don't believe they legally are required to, as they don't serve alcohol thus are not governed by the liquor licence laws. They may out of goodwill to their customers, subject to their policy or at managers descretion.

Went to Brisbane Jamie's. Was very underwhelming. An absolutely miniscule amount of pasta and not good value, even at $10.

I got pasta, wife got cannoli. My pasta was "okay". Her cannoli was very bland.

I wouldn't go back for $5.

Have to Rank at the bottom of my Italian restaurant list, can't see myself even going for $10…
- imurgod on 06/01/2018 - 15:53
  
  Completely agree with you. Started well, pain in the backside to deal with in that they wouldn't take bookings and then it may felt like too much of an effort.
  
  I went there for a party a couple of years ago and noticed that the quality of the food had dropped dramatically so I don't bother anymore.
  
  There's far better places to eat Italian food.
  
  If you're in Sydney, try Da Alfredo I'm Glebe. I recently discovered it and I can recommend it to be a very authentic Napolitano restaurant.

    Honestly didn’t want to slag them off, because I’ve only been once but the quality was like lunch pasta from those food court places… I couldn’t believe it thought maybe just a bad day. Me and my wife’s fave is il baretto in surry hills. Thanks for the tip will check it out next time we go for Italian.
    - imurgod on 06/01/2018 - 16:07
      
      Ditto re il Baretto.
      
      Bring your eatin' shoes to Da Alfredo because you'll want to eat a lot.
      
      Most of the Italian food you know is napoletano anyway and these guys are really good. Closest you'll get to being in Castellamare Di Stabia!
      
      There's one thing I never found here that's amazing and it's called "Panuozzo". Amazing!
      
      Jamie's was decent when it opened but, as you said, the quality is mediocre at best now.

      @pupkin: Well don't know for sure but one of the closest you will get outside of Naples. Went to Naples and tried 4 pizzerie in 2 days. and da'alfredo is quite similar to that. re the crust, the toppings, oven etc. slow rise of the dough, char, thin in the middle, chewy puffy crust, easier to digest. use the san marzano tomatoes. does that help?

      For me personally anything baked in electric oven is not a pizza.
    - chocfrogs456 on 08/01/2018 - 09:47
      
      @pupkin: Completely agree! Must be woodfired!! Yes i am aware of the AVPN accreditation. However apparently it is even not the best indicator as the people just come in and check you have the correct flour, oven etc. and then they never come back and spot check so you can literally just present the correct ingredients then change once they leave. Also apparently it costs a lot, so it is now disputed if it is just for money… There are some accredited places in syd (verace, gigis - which is a joke as they dont even serve a margherita now, only for a marinara) but some fabulous ones who havent bothered to get the accreditation e.g. rosso antico - they got their oven shipped in from Napoli and had to take down some of the front of the building to get it in. It's what i would call legit but they use different flour as they have been experimenting twith the dough to make it even tastier, digestible and nice texture. Pretty sure Da Alfredo is a woodfired oven.

      Aperitivo, in Leichhardt, is accredited. Good pizzas. Via Napoli in Lane Cove and Hunter Hill has their ovens from Itali. Their pizzas are good on less busy days.
    - chocfrogs456 on 08/01/2018 - 14:13
      
      @pupkin: Yes aperitivo is good too. Definitely recommend Rosso Antico in Enmore/Newtown. I've been to via Napoli in surry hills and found although the pizzas are good, I don't enjoy the environment. They try to upsell you and kick you out as fast as they can.

I'm by no means a food critic, but 2 of these, some polenta chips, bread basket and its a pretty good meal for 2 for about $30. These days, some food courts can't even feed 2 people for that unless you go with the fast food chains.

  The bread basket isn't worth it these days. Way back when, when they first appeared on the scene, it was a complimentary item … Now it's like $7 or something?
  - Matt P on 06/01/2018 - 17:52
    
    I went in opening week to Adelaide and it was about $3 "per person" from memory. Not all had to have it and each "person"/serve was 1 each of 4 different breads. If its $7, i would be choosing a different side instead

      Bread baskets were $2.25 for the first few years. You could get lunch for two at Jamie's for under $5.

    Been to a few of "Italian food establishments" on our trips to Melbourne. Can't really say anything good about them.
    
    In my opinion Melbourne restaurants are overhyped. There're probably more of them than in Sydney but not necessary better.
    - imurgod on 07/01/2018 - 15:07
      
      You could be right. Sydney does have some very good ones now too

This was posted 6 years 10 months 16 days ago, and might be an out-dated deal.
