Fatto


When I heard Fatto was offering bottomless pasta for $30, I thought I had died and gone to carb heaven. For the month of June, Southbank’s Italian inspired restaurant Fatto is serving up bottomless Orieccette with broccoli, anchovy, chili and garlic, Tagliatelle with red wine braised beef chin, Rigatoni Amatricana and Spaghetti aglio.

The actual pasta in all four of the dishes was the standout - clearly homemade and cooked al dente. The flavours in the Oriecette, Tagliatte and Spaghetti were also pretty tasty - although all were improved with an extra dash of chili and seasoning.




Unfortunately the table's consensus on the Amatricana was that it tasted a lot like a can of SPC spaghetti. And don't get me wrong, I have nothing against the trustee tin of spag - but perhaps not while I'm out to dinner.


The service also wasn’t so great - our waitress provided a vague and confusing explanation of how the menu worked, there was no explanation of what dishes of pasta they were literally "dumping" on our table, and not a smile to be seen in sight.  

Was it the best pasta I’ve had in Melbourne? Well, no - but it was tasty and cooked well (and you can do a lot of damage for $30) - so definitely worth giving a try at some point if you’re ridiculously hungry and on a budget. 


Food: 4/5
Service: 2/5
Venue: 3.5/5
Value for money: 4/5
Total: 13.50/20
Verdict: like - get around to trying at some point
