La Favola Authentic Italian - Sydney

We loved all the food we ordered, we would like to come back and try their other sauces. We ordered the Auberginenparm, Calamari, 4 Formaggi, dal mare and the Broccoli sauce. However, the opening hours for Google are incorrect. They are also open on Sundays from 11:30. We were so confused when we got a reservation the next day, and were already looking for alternatives. But they called on Sunday morning to confirm our reservation so well.

Great pasta place! The fresh pasta are delicious and had a great texture (a little bouncy/chewy, just like I like). We had 4 different pasta dishes and the sauce was really tasty for all of them. My personal favourite was the carbonara; so creamy and savoury! The calamari was okay. The taste was good but I wish there were more bigger pieces of calamari. Most of the dish was tiny pieces of calamari where we could taste only the batter. Would definitely come back for the pasta!

Great little Italian place in Newtown. Very homely. The food was good. The wine was good. The table next to us was a large group and had a few shared platters which looked amazing. Definitely a good place a do host that kinda group setting.

Extremely friendly staff and really great pasta! (Personally, I especially recommend you order and try their specials specifically . Their pasta/main specials are always changing, so you should definitely try it when you can! Between a group of 5, we ordered/recommend: Lamb shoulder (A chef's special for the night, very tender lamb shoulder served with truffle mash potato and carrot. The mash potato complements the lamb shoulder so well, you can definitely taste the truffle! Ragu Napoletano paccheri (Delicious slow cooked beef that easily tears away, paired with a lovely white sauce. Could easily have one of these to myself Dal Mare spaghetti (Served with , prawns, calamari, chilli, garlic and tomato. Although it says chilli, it was definitely far from it and I'm someone who can't take spice. I personally am not the biggest fan of seafood but it was still delicious Beef Conchiglioni (A chef's special for the night, absolutely delicious! Soft tender slow cooked beef! P.s. Conchiglioni is the giant version of the small shell shaped pastas

The atmosphere was great, the service was amazing (staff were so nice), the food was also so tasty… I would’ve given this place a 5 stars, but only one thing… They charged us $20 for WATER
