Ombra Italian - Handmade Pasta - Chermside

14/08/2026

Ombra Behind The Scenes:

This is probably the least exciting part of owning a pasta restaurant, but I've got 55 kilos of lamb to prep today. It cooks for about 18 hours. There's no secret ingredient. It just takes -----> ages.

It is possible to get it pre-cut, but the quality is usually not as good and tends to have a higher gristle + fat ratio. At least doing it by hand, I can better control the quality.

You heard him!

We're closed on Wednesday, 12/08/2026, so everyone can enjoy the showday.... while I hopefully get the chance to do a bit of touch-up work on the place :)

See you all Thursday!!!

Helloooo Beautiful People!

Just a quick Ombra Update.

Can you believe it? It's been just over 1 year since I opened up in Chermside, and in that time we've served over 35,000 of you fantastic peeps.

During the last 12 months, we've made magazines, lists and award nominations. But now it's time to look a bit inward and make some improvements.

1. We'll be closed on Wednesday 12th; I'm going to try and get a bit of a repaint happening inside.... maybe..... Thinking Sicilian themes.

2. We know what we are and we're doubling down on our fresh, handmade pasta; you've made it clear that that's what you love. So because of that and some health reasons, we're changing how the cafe part of the venue operates.

3. We want to try and ramp up Friday - Saturday - Sunday lunch! So I'll be working on some different pasta options for the lunch menu, to add a bit of variety :)

There's plenty more changes to come, and I don't want to bore you, so I'll end it here.

Thanks for making us your #1
