Rustichella is taking a little pausa from 24 August.

The pasta rollers will rest, the wine bottles will stay quiet, and our doors will close for a few weeks. We’ll return towards the end of September, ready for a new season of fresh pasta, fuori menu surprises and lunches.

See you when the pasta starts rolling again. --- https://rustichella.au/

CAMELIE — delicate outside, rustic at heart.
Fine sheets of fresh egg pasta embrace a generous filling of potato and pork sausage: soft, savoury and deeply comforting. The natural sweetness of gently buttered leek balances the richness of the filling, while poppy seeds bring a subtle nuttiness and a delicate contrast in texture. Each element has a distinct character, yet they come together with quiet harmony: tender pasta, a hearty centre and an elegant buttery finish. Familiar ingredients, thoughtfully composed into something unexpected. Camelie. The countryside, folded into pasta.

Available from today. --- https://rustichella.au

Sfoglia lorda al tuorlo piccante.
Two delicate sheets of fresh egg pasta hold a fine layer of filling before being cut into small, imperfect squares.
“Lorda” means dirty—but only because the filling is spread across the sfoglia in a thin veil, leaving its mark between one layer and the next.
Our version brings together the richness of egg yolk and the deep, savoury heat of ’nduja. The yolk softens its intensity, while the ’nduja adds warmth, depth and a lingering spicy edge.
Small in shape, generous in character: traditional pasta with a bold Emilian accent. --- Thursday and Friday, lunch and dinner! --- https://rustichella.au/

Four cheeses, blueberries, gnocchi. It sounds unexpected—until the first bite.
Soft potato gnocchi are wrapped in a rich, velvety four-cheese sauce and crispy speck, with blueberries bringing a gentle sweetness and fresh acidity to balance every mouthful.
Bold, creamy, fruity and just a little playful.
Available from Monday lunch.
We’re open Monday to Friday, for lunch and dinner.

Some pastas tell you exactly where they come from. Balanzoni could only have been born in Bologna.

Their distinctive green dough, naturally coloured with spinach, has become one of the city's most recognisable pasta traditions. Legend links them to Il Dottore Balanzone, the witty Bolognese character from the Commedia dell'Arte—generous, full of personality, and impossible to forget.

Every Balanzone we serve is handmade fresh on site, filled with creamy ricotta, aged Parmigiano Reggiano and pistachio mortadella. The parcels are gently coated in a silky cream sauce, then finished with crushed pistachios and fragrant pink peppercorns, adding just enough texture and aroma to complete the dish without taking attention away from the pasta itself.

It's a plate that celebrates Bologna in every bite—simple ingredients, careful craftsmanship and flavours that have stood the test of time. Available for lunch and dinner.

Book your table online or join our standby list. We look forward to welcoming you to Nundah. ---- https://rustichella.au/

Some dishes begin with a colour.

Not because colour changes flavour, but because it sparks an idea.

In this case, it was black and gold.

A sheet of fresh pasta, naturally darkened with activated charcoal, stretched across the bench. Beside it, saffron slowly transformed cream into a deep golden sauce. Before the first ribbon was cut, the contrast had already told its story.

That story became Oro e Salsiccia.

Hand-cut black tagliatelle meet a velvety saffron cream, while browned pork sausage brings warmth, richness and a gentle savoury depth to the plate.

There is no trick here. No unnecessary complexity. Just a handful of ingredients, each given the space to do what it does best.

The eye notices the colours first.

The palate remembers the balance.

Black and gold never looked so delicious. --- https://rustichella.au/bookings/

There are moments when the sea seems to wander into a garden.

A strand of spinach-infused homemade spaghetti carries both worlds together. Sweet datterino tomatoes become a delicate velouté, wrapping each strand in a gentle warmth rather than a heavy sauce. King prawns bring the quiet flavour of the coast, while basil and Parmigiano finish the dish with the unmistakable perfume of an Italian summer.

Nothing competes for attention. The sweetness of the tomatoes, the freshness of the basil, the richness of the cheese and the delicate character of the prawns find their place naturally, as though they had always belonged together.

Datterino e Mare is a reminder that some of the most memorable flavours are often the simplest—when the garden meets the sea, and handmade pasta quietly brings them to the same table. --- https://rustichella.au/

Fresh pasta is never just pasta. It begins with flour, eggs and patient hands.

This week's Fuori Menu features our handmade Girasoli, crafted from two naturally coloured doughs—spinach green on one side, tomato red on the other.

Filled with buttered leek and potato, they rest on a velvety pumpkin cream and are finished with smoked pork strips for a delicate savoury finish.

Available Tuesday and Wednesday, for lunch and dinner. A limited-time dish celebrating the beauty of handmade fresh pasta. --- https://rustichella.au/

Gramigna alla Salsiccia, in its colourful paglia e fieno dress.
Two shades of fresh pasta twist together on the plate: golden egg dough and green spinach-infused dough.
The name paglia e fieno means “straw and hay”, inspired by the contrasting colours of the countryside.
Gramigna is one of Bologna’s most characteristic pasta shapes: short, curled and wonderfully unruly.
Its curves are perfect for catching every bit of the sauce, making each mouthful rich and satisfying.
Italian pork sausage brings warmth and savoury depth, while cream gently binds everything together.
Rustic, generous and unmistakably Emiliana, it is the sort of pasta that feels familiar from the very first forkful.
No unnecessary embellishments—just fresh pasta, good sausage and the comfort of a regional classic.
Join us on Monday and Tuesday, for lunch or dinner, and discover our Gramigna alla Salsiccia, Paglia e Fieno. --- https://rustichella.au/bookings
