The Perfect Pasta Prediction La Tabella Italian

Perfection and pasta go hand in hand.

As least, that’s what we believe when we pay a visit to La Tabella Italian.

With an extensive menu encompassing all things Italian, the range and variety of pasta dishes is where the magic lies.

Made fresh daily, with all local produce and hand made ingredients, each and every strand, ball and parcel of pasta is lovingly hand shaped, moulded, and stretched.

And, according to new owner Brittany Panapa, there is no secret except perfect consistency.

“We have not changed a thing, the secret is just consistency; staff chefs, same recipe, same passion,” Brittany explained.

The day at La Tabella begins at 9.30am, with the three pastai [the chefs who carefully create the pasta] coming in and crafting the kilos of pasta required for the full day of service for the restaurant.

“We make and serve so much pasta daily. And we’ve got so many different types,” Brittany explained.  

“We’ve got the usual spaghetti, fettuccine, gnocchi, as well as a range of more distinct and flavour-filled pastas that enhance each and every sauce on offer at La Tabella.

“Hands down, the Seafood Spaghetti is one of our most popular dishes, with prawns, scallops, calamari, reef fish, mussels and Napoli rose sauce, it is delicious, with this rich sauce, all made from scratch too,” Brittany explained.

And with exciting updates to come to the La Tabella Restaurant, guests can be left excited to come and try every single dish on offer!
