Pastizzi, pasta and delicious garlic bread!
Except for The Original Maltese Cafe on Crown Street this is the only other place I know of in Sydney where you can find a large range of freshly cooked pastizzis. This popular cafe seems to have a few more pastizzi choices and serves up very decent sized pasta meals at reasonable prices. The large slices of garlic bread were very good and topped with plenty of garlic to scare away the vampires. I thought the rocket salad would be quite boring but it balanced the pasta and was so fresh it was like it had been freshly picked from the garden. The pastizzi is a great entree to fill the stomach while people are running late to dinner or as a general snack when your on a shopping spree.
My spaghetti marinara was tasty and filling and the seafood was mainly prawns and octopus although my favourite marinara is still possibly from the Clovelly Hotel which is linguini marinara with prawns, pippies, mussels, octopus, fish & squid in a tomato sauce with parmesan for $21. Everyone else was also happy with their pasta dishes and finishing them became a bit of a challenge after already eating pastizzi and garlic bread. For the lighter eaters an entree sized ravioli for only $9 was good value. You know your in Newtown when you walk by the interesting and creative/scary window displays of Shorties and Barbarella in the area.
