Reviews for Da Guido La Pasta
Noli Andrea
Da Guido completely surprised us—in the best possible way. The quality of the food was exceptional, far exceeding expectations, and every dish was delicious , and we had the pleasure of having some dishes explained with passion by the chef, which made the experience even more special. The atmosphere is beautiful: cozy yet refined, with perfect music, lovely décor( Murano glass from Italy glasses and decor!), and a warm, inviting vibe throughout the evening. A special shout-out to Mirko, the owner, whose genuine warmth and attention made us feel truly at home. This is the kind of place where great food, people, and ambience come together effortlessly. We’ll absolutely be back.

An incredible dining experience. The flavours, presentation and atmosphere were divine. Every bite was heaven! I never knew octopus could be so tender and delicate. Biggest compliments to the chef!! ❤️

I really recommend this restaurant! We choose the 7 course menu and booked the table before. The waiter and the whole staff were really friendly and helpful. They explained us the courses which was great. The food was delicious and definitely a 10/10.

Da Guido La Pasta is a place that draws you in with confidence rather than noise. From the first plate it is clear this is a kitchen that values patience, balance, and the quiet authority of knowing when to stop. The roast beef carpaccio arrives sliced to near translucence, tender and clean, its flavour deepened by porcini and marinated oyster mushrooms. It is restrained, earthy, and assured, the kind of dish that reminds you how powerful simplicity can be when executed properly. The barramundi fillet is cooked with admirable restraint. The flesh remains delicate and moist, complemented by a coconut and clams sauce that brings sweetness and salinity into careful harmony. Nothing shouts, nothing overwhelms, and the fish is allowed to remain the star. The gnocchi Genovese is a lesson in patience. The Wagyu is slow cooked with intent, preserving the fine, nuanced flavours of the meat rather than burying them under weight or excess. The onions melt into the sauce, the gnocchi absorb every element, and the dish delivers richness without heaviness, comfort without complacency. The signature ravioli leans confidently into indulgence. The Wagyu filling is deep and expressive, finished with rosemary and Parmigiano butter that perfumes the dish rather than dominating it. Black pepper cuts through with precision, keeping each bite lively and complete. The sides reinforce the care taken throughout. Broccolini is vibrant and pleasantly bitter, lifted by garlic and almonds, while the potato purée is luxuriously smooth, enriched with butter and smoked beef tallow, generous without apology. Da Guido La Pasta offers food that respects tradition while trusting technique. It is cooking that rewards attention, encourages return visits, and reminds you why Italian cuisine, when treated with seriousness and restraint, remains endlessly compelling.

Can I give 10 stars please!!! Travelling for work, my American colleague and I had heard Carlton was home to a great strip of restaurants, so we started looking for a standout Italian spot. Da Guido La Pasta kept coming up in reviews, and now we know why. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed and seated on the terrace balcony, which gave the evening a relaxed, authentic feel. The service was exceptional, professional yet personal, with a team of genuine Italian staff who clearly care about the experience they’re offering. One of the partners took the time to share the story behind the restaurant and the little details that make it special. His pride and passion really came through. We shared everything we ordered; the Fagottini, spaghetti, and a rocket and pear salad, followed by a tiramisu for dessert. Each dish was outstanding, full of depth and flavour, beautifully presented, and clearly made with care and authenticity. The décor also deserves a mention. It’s a tasteful mix of traditional Italian charm with just the right amount of modern touch. Fresh and inviting, without losing its roots. This wasn’t just a great meal, it was a full experience. Da Guido La Pasta is a true gem in Carlton, and we’ll both be recommending it to anyone heading to Melbourne. P.s. try a margarita...or 2!!!
