If you enjoy rich tomato-based sauces, don’t miss the pappardelle. The minced meat is well seasoned and aromatic, and the wide pasta has a nice chewy texture. The tagliatelle was more average in comparison, lacking depth of flavour, and the crab had a slight fishy taste, which could be improved. The tiramisu was decent but not particularly memorable, while the cheesecake was surprisingly good and definitely worth trying.

Amazing girls’ trip lunch! We loved everything. One of the best gnocchi I’ve ever had. Thanks for everything, Team 1889 Enoteca.

I took my friend here for her birthday lunch and the food was just devine. The staff were attentive and lovely and were able to accommodate gluten free food for me easily. I believe they said there gluten free pasta was handmade by them (don't quote me). Definitely will be going again. They even brought out a complimentary treat for my friend as it was her birthday. So so lovely. It is a small space, so depending on how many people are there it can get noisy, but it was still easy to talk and focus on our experience.

The Tagliatelle with garlic crab meat was fresh and flavorful. The Gnocchi with beef pieces was rich in texture and tasty. The Risotto with creamy mushroom was a bit too heavy and less impressive compared to the others. Service was excellent and attentive, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Overall, a great dining experience worth recommending.

We had such a fantastic experience here! From the moment we walked in, the staff were welcoming, attentive, and made sure everything ran smoothly. The service was quick without ever feeling rushed, and the team checked in just the right amount to make sure we had everything we needed. The food was outstanding – fresh, full of flavour, and clearly made with care. Each dish was beautifully presented, and you could really taste the quality ingredients. The gnocchi was light and fluffy, the pasta cooked perfectly, and the sauces rich and authentic. Portion sizes were generous, and everything came out piping hot. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for both a casual night out or a special occasion. Combined with the excellent service and amazing food, it’s easily one of the best Italian restaurants we’ve been to. Highly recommend and we’ll definitely be coming back!
