La Ricetta Ristorante Italiano

For an authentic, old school Italian meal, this is the place to go. It has been around for more then a decade, ran by a family so it almost feels homely being here & eating here. The menu is extensive with light, fresh dishes as well as the comforting & familiar. The caprese with prosciutto was fresh & delicious, mussels were light with a delicious broth, figs with gorgonzola is rich with beautiful plump sweet figs contrasting with a salty, umami rich blue cheese sauce. Even the salt & pepper calamari & prawns and zucchini flowers had a light crisp batter that were not oily or dense, just appetizing. All the pasta & risotto dishes are amazing so cannot go wrong. The seasonal specials such as the hearty osso bucco is so homely & comforting & you cant go wrong with a good saltimbocca or spatchcock. Finish off with a delicious affogato, gelato or sorbet or indulge in a light, creamy cheesecake or a moist, slightly warm orange & almond cake. Great little local gem.

Absolutely wonderful Italian restaurant. The hospitality of this place is lovely and they were really warm and inviting and it is located on Enmore Road.

We were immediately seated and they were nice enough to bring out some kids' menus with some colouring in markers too to colour in the other side of the menu.

All in the mood for pasta we had a selection of pasta to share. They included Gnocchi Sorrentina, Ravioli All' Anitra, and Papardelle Ragu Con Porcini. We finished off with Tiramisua. The pasta all tasted freshly made and the sauces were delicious. Full of flavour and packed a punch. I love how they freshly shaved the parmesan cheese over the pasta. The tiramisua had the right amount of coffee to biscuits to mascarpone. Tasted lovely!

Really nice local Italian restaurant with great pasta. It is nice for a lovely dinner for couples, friends and families. Fantastic all rounder.

Food is great here( i had the Pesto Lasagne ) service is bad ( dear management train your staff to care and you have a top restaurant) but the company was fantastic and we had a good night out. Parking is a challenge which would prevent me going again

We recently moved to the area and stumbled upon this restaurant on a Saturday night when there was a show on at the Enmore Theatre (across the road). We didn't have a reservation and they arranged a table for us quickly (even though they were busy). I had the duck ravioli and it was to die for!!! The service was great and the wine selection excellent. We went back the next weekend it was sooooo good.

We dined here on the 1st Sept 2012 and thought it was excellent. The service was good and efficient and the food was fantastic. The wait staff knew the menu inside out so could answer questions on it which was nice. The restaurant isn't fine dining however it was one of the best meals I have had and the price is very reasonable. Overall it was very enjoyable and good value for money.
