There are pasta bars, and then there’s Tipo 00. It remains one of the most sought-out spots in Melbourne since its 2014 opening, still on everyone’s lips as the place to twirl what is most probably Melbourne’s best pasta. The rustic room has a lo-fi bistro vibe, but no bells and whistles are needed here – they’re packing them in night after night, letting that luscious pasta do the heavy lifting as busy waiters navigate the tight space like ballerinas.

Order up and you’ll soon be delivered house-made focaccia, warm and crunchy, with a generous spoon of fresh ricotta. It’s delicious, not to mention on the house.

From there, you can dabble in any number of elegantly presented starters, but regulars know to keep it light – you’re here for the main event, after all. So perhaps a single Sydney rock oyster, served with shallot vinegar? Then it’s time to dive right in.

This May, for American Express delicious. Month Out, the Tipo 00 kitchen team has put together a special Moreton Bay Bug pasta – fresh tagliatelle pasta with a generous serve of Moreton Bay bug, a saffron and lemon bisque, and a touch of saltbush.

Available all day throughout the month of May.
