‘Love’ is what this restaurant is all about. Just ask Dom about the 140 year old hand made French bricks, imported from Vietnam, that set this venue’s warm interior. You’ll hear a story about determination and passion for creating a restaurant that inspires as well as excites.
Set in a warm, open space, La Cantina’s atmosphere is set by classic Italian oil paintings, Roman style brick walls creating a ‘cellar feel’ and the elegant contrast of modern lighting, casting shadows up the brick walls.
The Celestino family has created a bustling space with laughter and open chatter, while still maintaining intimacy and cosiness through the use of brick archways, dark timber floors and chocolate brown leather lounges.
AGNOLOTTI
Similar to ravioli our agnolotti is filled with confit duck and has been a staple on our menu since opening.
GARGANELLI
Each garganelli is individually hand rolled by our chefs and beats penne hands down in our books.
GNOCCHI
Nothing beats freshly made gnocchi and these fluffy potato pillows lovingly created by our chefs will comfort you from the inside out.
Tagliatelle
Tagliatelle are long, flat ribbons then lend themselves to being coated in rich sauces
Squid Ink FETTUCCINI
The squid ink not only brings a dramatic black colour to the pasta but also imparts a subtle brininess.
Chitarra
Similar to spaghetti but with a square shape Chitarra gets it’s name from the “guitar” as the tool to cut the pasta resembles guitar strings.
Pappardelle
Pappardelle are large, very broad ribbons of pasta perfect for those hearty sauces
Orecchiette
Our Orecchiette are all individually hand shaped to create the ‘little ear’ that the name translates to.
