The shoemaker’s pasta, Spaghetti alla Scarpariello 👞✹
 
This week at Pasta Club, we’re serving up a Neapolitan classic with a pretty great backstory.
 
Legend has it that local shoemakers (scarpari) were sometimes paid in cheese instead of coins - inspiring this rich, glossy pasta loaded with cherry tomatoes, garlic, fresh basil and an aggressively generous amount of Pecorino and Parmigiano 🧀
 
And because it’s officially , we’re giving you permission to break the rules. Swap your usual w**e for a bubbly Negroni Sbagliato - Campari, sweet vermouth and Prosecco.

What people say

Italian restaurants are known for their delicious and authentic cuisine, and OTTO Ristorante Sydney is no exception. Located in the stunning surrounds of the Finger Wharf, this modern European restaurant celebrates all things Italian - from the food to the atmosphere.

One standout dish that has been receiving rave reviews is the Linguine alle Vongole. Head Chef's sunshine-yellow linguine made with saffron is a traditional Italian spice that pairs perfectly with seafood. The linguine is tossed with salty-as-the-sea vongole, vibrant chilli, garlic, white wine, and parsley - creating a quintessential holiday dish reminiscent of the Amalfi Coast.

To complement this delicious pasta dish, OTTO Ristorante Sydney offers a crisp Campania Bianco from one of their favourite wineries, Quintodecimo. This pairing is perfect for sipping in the sunshine and transports diners straight to Italy.

Escape to OTTO Pasta and Wine Destination series is another reason to visit this restaurant during winter months. Available Wednesday to Friday for lunch and dinner in June, July, and August - it explores different regions of Italy with a different pairing each week.

Overall, OTTO Ristorante Sydney offers an exceptional dining experience that celebrates people, place and la dolce vita. With its stunning location and delicious food options like Linguine alle Vongole paired with Campania Bianco wine - it's definitely worth a visit!
