About Tipo 00

Tipo 00 turns out handcrafted, properly al dente pasta from a compact Little Bourke Street open kitchen. Locals swear by the squid ink tagliolini tossed with fresh squid and fish roe, followed closely by rich wagyu mafaldine and velvety gnocchi. Diners sharing plates can rely on the kitchen to split single pasta mains across two bowls at no extra charge—a thoughtful touch that keeps the meal relaxed. Tables start with complimentary house focaccia, while front-of-house staff guide the energetic room through smart Italian wine pairings before wrapping things up with the signature cocoa-and-mascarpone Tipomisu.

  • Artisanal Primi: Handmade ribbons and shapes like squid ink tagliolini and wagyu mafaldine arrive consistently cooked to a firm al dente.
  • Split Plating Service: When guests share mains, the kitchen thoughtfully splits single pasta orders onto separate bowls at no added charge.
  • House Focaccia: Tables are routinely welcomed with complimentary house focaccia before the meal begins.
  • Signature Tipomisu: A playful chocolate-mascarpone house dessert provides an indulgent conclusion to the meal.

  • Complimentary Split-Plate Service

    When guests choose to share dishes, the kitchen proactively divides main pasta courses into separate individual bowls or plates without extra charges.

    They also split the mains into two bowls for us to share at no extra cost which is great service!!

  • Energetic Bar & Open Kitchen Counter

    Diners enjoy a welcoming and dynamic environment with front-row views of pasta preparation and cocktail craft along the bar and open kitchen.

    Shown the set menu, we agreed and promptly seated at the bar. From the moment we sat the experience was like none other.

  • House Focaccia on Arrival

    Guests receive complimentary fresh house focaccia upon seating, creating a generous introduction to the meal.

    Starting with the fresh focaccia on the house, was so good that my friend ended asking for more at the end

  • Accommodating & Attentive Service

    Front-of-house staff actively accommodate walk-ins, dining timelines, and family needs with attentive, knowledgeable hospitality.

    We were dining with two young kids, which can be challenging, but the staff couldn’t have been more accommodating. Nothing was too much trouble, and they made us feel genuinely welcome.

    And, the tipomisu, which was recommended to me, was a good mix of hard and soft textures to round out the meal with a sweet but not saccharine ending.

Before you head over

Essential dining advice on reservations, sharing pasta, and seating options.

  • Book in Advance

    Reserve your table ahead of time if possible, as popular evenings can see wait times of 40 to 50 minutes or more for walk-ins.

  • Take Advantage of Split Plating

    If you are sharing pasta courses, let your server know—the kitchen will thoughtfully divide single orders onto separate plates or bowls at no extra charge.

  • Opt for Bar Seating

    Dining without a reservation or looking for an energetic vantage point? Walk in early for a seat at the bar with direct views of the bustling open kitchen.
