Paesanella - Marrickville

Came in for a brunch with my son ... We had the bacon egg panini with fresh haloumi rocket $10.50 the Avocado smash with avocado, lemon on sourdough $13.00 a Latte.  Food was great (although took a bit of time coming out there were only 2 other patrons)   but the Latte was a complete flop and I couldn't drink it.  Very bitter tasting when I mentioned it to gentleman at the counter, he said that's the sort of coffee it was but they were changing it Monday would be serving ILLY.  We'll have to test the waters out again.We also bought 2 nutella donuts to take away $4.50ea I was given a cannoli for the bad coffee.  Nice of them although I said it wasn't necessary

We visited this restaurant for a casual lunch and decided to share all the dishes. We tried the gnocchi, Arancini balls, and the tomato bruschetta, and all of them were delicious. The waitstaff were also very attentive and provided excellent service.

Everyone comes here for the ricotta. It's what Paesanella is known for making the freshest ricotta around. They have a great deli upstairs full of cheese, antipasto and pasta. And downstairs a cafe that takes advantage of the ricotta. We had a slice of ricotta cake, a ricotta panzerotti, parmagiano and herb scrambled eggs with bacon on sourdough, choc brownie, coffee and freshly squeezed juice. The cheesy scrambled eggs were really delicious, and the parmagiano so fresh and bitey, the ricotta cake served with fresh cream scrumptious. But the standout was the panzerotti like a cinnamon donut pastie filled with ricotta absolutely delectable. Don't sit down here without trying one. Friendly staff too.

Most delicious Italian food I have ever tasted in Australia. Rich tomato flavours with hints of cheese. Their seafood dishes are heavy with seafood flavours. I was extremely full after my meal. I brought a tub of rich creamy ricotta from their store. 110% would go back again.

Relaxed atmosphere, fresh ingredients, nice thin base and ALL the cheeses are made in-house! We had the 4-cheese pizza (Quattro Formaggi) and the capricciosa. Outdoor seating is nice and quiet on a summers night.
