Best Pasta Inner West
Handcrafted daily, seasonally driven, and made with an unapologetic passion for Italian tradition. This is the best pasta the Inner West has to offer.
Handmade Pasta in the Heart of the Inner West
When the craving for authentic Italian pasta strikes, Norton Street, Leichhardt is where Sydney turns, and Capriccio Osteria is proudly at the centre of it. Since 2015, we have been crafting what our guests call the best pasta in the Inner West, and we are not about to argue with that.
Quality Over Quantity
At Capriccio Osteria, every pasta dish begins with a firm and unwavering commitment to freshness and quality. Owner Michele Rispoli and Head Chef Nicole Bampton work closely to ensure every ingredient is seasonal, every dish is thoughtfully composed, and every plate that leaves the kitchen reflects the standard Capriccio is known for.
We would rather master a concise menu than offer a long list of compromises.
Handmade With Authenticity
Every pasta at Capriccio is made entirely by hand, every single day, by a team of specialist chefs who take genuine pride in their craft. Each dish carries the unmistakable soul of Italian cooking, the right sauce, the right meat, and the right pasta shape, always paired with purpose.
A standout example is our Squid Ink Spaghetti with blue swimmer crab, chilli and basil, bold, refined, and rooted in Italian authenticity.
It Is All in the Sauce
If pasta is the canvas, the sauce is the paint, and at Capriccio, we treat every sauce with the same precision and passion as the pasta itself.
Each sauce is carefully paired to complement the pasta style and the seasonal ingredients at hand, resulting in a depth of flavour that simply cannot be replicated with anything less than full dedication to the craft.
