About the restaurant
Cucinetta in South Yarra is a tiny but mighty Italian eatery known for handmade pasta and soulful cooking. The ever-changing menu reflects what’s fresh and seasonal, with dishes like duck ragu pappardelle, crab spaghetti, and creamy burrata with heirloom tomatoes. The intimate 20-seat space feels like a home kitchen, where chefs chat with guests and plates arrive with flair and warmth. Wines are carefully selected, leaning Italian with a few local gems. Cucinetta offers an authentic, unfussy dining experience that’s all about flavour and family-style hospitality.
