Ombra Italian - Handmade Pasta - Chermside

Hi, we're a small local venue that makes pretty much everything by hand and just happens to make some of Brissies best pasta :)

When the locals joke that you're the highest rated venue that no one knows about lol.

Probably time to hop off that fence and come visit :)

Hellooo peeps.

Nothing fancy today... just come in for dinner and help support local by grabbing some of Brisbane's best handmade pasta :)

FYI. New menu really is coming; just waiting for the new till system to come online, which will hopefully have better online ordering.

Helloooo Beautiful people!

Just a heads up, we're closed for the King's Birthday - Public Holiday.

My knee is still recovering, and some rest will do it some good.... hopefully.

I may be in to do some prep, but either way, see you guys on Tuesday!!

Ombra in 60ish 💳

Helloooo peeps,

Today we’re having a behind-the-scenes look at my latest headache… credit card fees.

TLDR: I’ve never charged card fees and don’t plan to start. I’m also not increasing my prices because of this.
- - - - -

But the changes will cost Ombra roughly $18,000 a year — so I need to get a little creative behind the scenes.

Here’s the problem:

The fees don’t disappear. Businesses either absorb them or increase prices — and it flows through the entire supply chain.

Take our takeaway containers.

One of my suppliers has increased prices by roughly 3–10%. A container + lid that cost me around 67c now costs about 80c.

Doesn’t sound like much.

But when you’re making 40,000–50,000 pastas a year, those little increases become thousands of dollars.

And that’s one product from one supplier.

Across the business, I estimate the real impact will be closer to $18,000 a year.
- - - - -

Thankfully, Ombra is in a better position than many small businesses. We make so much ourselves, and I have some genuinely awesome suppliers.

It’s also pushed me to rethink the new menu.

I’m focusing on simpler dishes, better ingredients and bright, vibrant flavours — and through a bit of negotiation, I’ve actually managed to get better pricing on some higher-quality ingredients.

I’ll also be hunting for a new container supplier because I still don’t want to charge you for takeaway containers.

So… nothing changes for you.

I just wanted to show you a little of what happens behind the scenes when costs change — and how a tiny increase can become a very big number for a small business.

Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

See you for dinner 😘🍝

So… it's a tiramisu kind of week, huh? 🍓

You lot went nuts for the Biscoff Tiramisu, and we're down to the last few. But the real news is this one.

Next off the test line: a Strawberries & Cream Tiramisu. Is it traditional? Not even slightly. Is it ridiculously good? Absolutely.

Whipped mascarpone folded with dehydrated strawberries and our house-made strawberry & lemon thyme compote, which also goes on top with fresh strawberries. The ladyfingers are soaked in a peach and hibiscus black tea instead of coffee, so it's light, fruity, and dangerously easy to finish.

Limited run while we test it. Come grab one before it's gone.

Thanks for making us your #1

Ombra in 60...ish
_______________
Hellooooo Beautiful people, today we're having a bit of a behind-the-scenes look at a few of the things I'm dealing with.

TLDR: You guys are the best, I'm swapping out my POS and website ordering platform because its causing you guys issues. And I would rather bite the bullet and give you a more reliable system to order on.... Also I love you all... and new menu will come with the new system
_________________

Today is mostly an admin day (aside from making the fresh pasta), it will take a while for my knee to fix itself.

Lately I've been going over some comments and negative reviews/emails based on feedback, and I've decided to replace my current POS system. Currently, the one we've been using is linked to our website and online ordering, but has been really unreliable (they're a massive company, but new in the Aussie market).

Because of this, there have been online order issues, delays, and inconsistent availabilities over the past 6 months, its also why I've delayed the new menu, until we can get a few things fixed on their end.

As you guys know, we're a small local venue that just happens to punch waaay above its weight class when it comes to quality and service. And I will die on a hill with the opinion that I have the best customers around.

So I would rather bite the bullet and swap out for something simpler and more reliable to help give you guys a better, easier experience. Because if you guys aren't happy..... well....... I mean.... I eventually wont have a business regardless.

So thats been my admin nightmare for the past few weeks. I'll be looking to make the change over in the next few weeks to hopefully a better system.

Thanks for being awesome guys!

Well…. Yesterday was fun, sorry I couldn’t… err… walk… I was hobbling around so much I could have gotten a job at NASA as their new telescope… ba dum tsss….

Aannnny way. You can’t keep a good chef down as they say. We’re back open and ready to go.

So if you’re keen on great pasta, bad jokes and a chef who likes to grumble a little too much right now 🤣 were your people.

So pop in and say hi.

23/09/2026

Helloooooo wonderful people.

Just a heads up, we’ll be closed tonight Wednesday 23/09

I kinda maybe twisted my knee and I’m out of action for the day.

Fingers crossed and sorry for any inconvenience.

Honey and Daisy for dog tax.

Hello Peeps.

So, an update for the week as I slowly keep ticking things off the checklist.

This week, I'm turning my attention to something I'm rather well known for.... that being some of Brisbane's best handmade Tiramisu.
__________________________
This week I'll be working on family and catering packs of our amazing Tiramisu as well as testing out new flavours.

All the new flavours will hopefully form part of a delicious rotation and though they wont be traditional, they will still be made using the traditional whipped mascarpone and soaked Savoiardi biscuits to build upon.

I have just finished a tray of Biscoff-inspired Tiramisu!!!! Soooo I'll have 20 or so portions depending on how many Lea eats before I start work.... 🤣

So pop in and grab yours.

Hellloooo wonderful people,

It seems the vibe at the moment is to rock up with a bottle of w**e, kick back and enjoy some amazing pasta with friends and family....

Who are we to say no?

If you're looking to skip the "drama" and the price tag of the Italian Festival, then we're definitely your kinda people :)

Pop in for lunch or (preferably AND) dinner, and see why almost 50,000 serves of pasta goodness have left the kitchen since we opened our doors.

We are also BYO,
