Angelo's Fresh Pasta

Fortitude Valley


Kneading the good stuff since 1968, northern Italian Angelo peddles perfect pasta from a red shed in a backstreet car park. You'll find both fresh and dry varieties, such as beetroot fettuccine, basil tagiatelle and duck-egg contadina. The supporting cast includes olive oils, pesto and tomato sugo (sauce). Feeling inspired? Angelo's daughter runs four-hour pasta-making courses ($150) – see the website.
