What better way to ride out the end of comfort food season, than a weekly shindig dedicated to your favourite carb-based food? That's the indisputable logic behind Marameo's new Pasta Party series, which kicks off Saturday, July 30, and runs weekly until August 27. On offer at the CBD restaurant from 12–3pm each week, the lunchtime fiestas promise to wrap up your winter with a warm hug of fresh pasta, wine and tunes.
Across a two-hour sitting, you'll dig into a three-course pasta-centric menu starring the likes of gnocco fritto paired with prosciutto di Parma and mortadella, black truffle cacio e pepe, a 10-cheese lasagne, and saffron pappardelle with a rich wagyu shank ragu.
Meanwhile, a DJ will be spinning tunes of the disco and funk variety, and the drinks will be equally free-flowing, with bottomless prosecco, wine and Peronis to wash down your pasta banquet.
The pasta parties clock in at $100 per person, and you'll need at least four diners to nab a table.
