About RUSTICHELLA Pasta Bar
Honouring the culinary heritage of two Emilian natives and bringing the authentic flavours of their homeland to Nundah, discerning Brisbane foodies head to RUSTICHELLA Pasta Bar on Aspinal Street to appease ravenous hunger. This family-owned restaurant dishes up fare from Northern Italy, often considered the country’s culinary heart, including handmade pasta temptations, accompanied by the perfect wine from some of the lesser-known grape varieties. Say grazie to starters of crostini with ragu Bolognese and shaved Parmesan, or tomato bruschetta; before twirling your fork around spaghetti carbonara with pork cheek, egg yolk and cheese, or ricotta and parsley tortelloni with butter and sage. Sweet tooths make sure to leave room for hazelnut chocolate pudding, or traditional panna cotta.
A few words from RUSTICHELLA Pasta Bar
Rustichella Pasta Bar – A Taste of Emilia-Romagna in Every Dish
Rustichella Pasta Bar is a family-owned restaurant that opened in late 2022, bringing the soul of Emilia-Romagna to Brisbane. This northern Italian region, often considered the culinary heart of Italy, is renowned for its rich gastronomic heritage, from handmade pasta to world-class wines.
Emilia-Romagna is home to some of Italy's most celebrated dishes, and at Rustichella, we honour these traditions with a menu that showcases its finest flavours. Experience the silkiness of handcut tagliatelle al ragù, the hearty satisfaction of gramigna alla salsiccia, or the delicate balance of our hand-made ricotta and parsley tortelloni. Every dish is crafted from scratch, embracing the time-honoured techniques that define this exceptional cuisine.
No meal is complete without the perfect wine, and our list is a journey through Italy's lesser-known grape varieties, offering something beyond the usual selections. From the refreshing sparkle of a true Sorbara to the structured elegance of an Albana orange wine and the richness of a red Malbo Gentile, our selection is designed to complement and enhance every bite.
At Rustichella, we invite you to taste the difference — the difference in quality, craftsmanship, and the passion we put into every dish. Join us for a fresh taste of Emilia-Romagna, where tradition meets innovation. We're open for lunch and dinner, Wednesday to Sunday from 12pm.
Emilian cuisine is the traditional food of Emilia, the western part of Emilia-Romagna, known for its handmade pasta, rich sauces, aged cheeses, and cured meats.
