About Ragazzi

Tucked into Angel Place, this compact wine bar turns out Sydney's gold standard for fresh, hand-pinched pasta. The room is tight, lively, and unapologetically European—tables sit elbow to elbow while walk-ins crowd the bar counter for a quick glass and an early plate. Regulars zero in on the lumache with sweet spanner crab and fermented chilli butter, a bowl built on serious bite and rich, fiery depth. The kitchen keeps nearly three-quarters of the menu coeliac-friendly with dedicated house-made dough, alongside antipasti like beef crudo paired with parmesan cream. Dinner winds down over creamy panna cotta topped with honey crisp or a quiet scoop of pistachio gelato.

  • Hand-Rolled Pasta: Freshly rolled shapes cooked to a firm chew, headlined by lumache with spanner crab and fermented chilli butter.
  • Laneway Wine Bar: Tight, buzzing laneway room in Angel Place offering walk-in bar counter stools and an extensive wine selection.
  • Coeliac-Friendly Dining: House-made gluten-free pasta and tailored antipasti adapt roughly 75% of the dining menu for coeliacs.

  • Atmospheric European Laneway Dining

    Tucked into Angel Place, the bijou dining room and laneway setting provide an evocative, romantic backdrop tailored for intimate dates.

    A small Italian restaurant and wine bar in the heart of the CBD. The service is professional and the vibe reminds me of restaurants in Italy.

  • Hidden CBD Laneway Discovery

    Hidden in Sydney's pedestrian laneway under the birdcages, visiting evokes the excitement of stumbling upon an exceptional neighborhood secret.

  • Spontaneous Walk-In Bar Dinners

    Walk-in seating at the compact counter bar offers a seamless, rapid option for a world-class bowl of pasta and wine before evening shows.

    I usually walk in and grab a seat at the bar. We had a quick pasta before an event during Sydney writers festival and it was delicious as always.

    The Brussels sprouts were also a standout, especially with the pistachio and apple balsamic adding a nice balance of nuttiness and sweetness.
