Messina x Saturday Night Pasta
TICKETS ARE SOLD OUT - ADD YOUR NAME TO WAITLIST
To celebrate the launch of Saturday Night Pastaβs brand new range, weβre setting one long table right down the middle of our gelato factory, and youβre invited to join us for dinner.
This is not your Nonnaβs dinner. Unless your Nonna also invites Shadow Baking, Gold Street Dairy, Erin Bar and Restaurant, In The Round House, Salumi Australia, DRNKS, andΒ Byroncello to her table (in which case...can we come to your Nonna's next dinner?).
We'll be serving dinner family-style, with the table decked out by our friends atΒ In The Round House, and the sultry sounds of Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald and Frank Sinatra floating through the space to set the tone.

The night kicks off with a glass of something bubbly and a grazing board piled high withΒ Salumi Australia cured meats, pickles from our very own Erin Restaurant, and grilled curd from Gold Street Dairy (made with milk from our jersey herd) and drizzled with our house honey.

Then come the pasta bowls, tossed withΒ Saturday Night Pasta's new Some Like It Hot sauce, topped with our jersey milk ricotta and lemon pangrattato. After that, weβre bringing out our Messina family ragu, a rich mix of polpette, cotica di maiale and salsiccia, slow-cooked in Saturday Night Pastaβs Red Red Wine sauce. Weβll be serving it with Shadow Bakingβs cult hot honey focaccia (for optimal sauce mopping) and a bowl of green salad to keep things balanced.

For dessert, weβre putting on a bit of a show. Crostatas, bowls of zabaglione and tiramisu, with gelato and hot dulce de leche poured tableside.
DRNKS will keep the wine flowing all night, finishing with a toast ofΒ Byroncello, a handcrafted limoncello from the Byron Bay hinterland.
And yes, youβll head home with a little something too,Β a take-home pack featuring Saturday Night Pastaβs new pasta and sauce, plus a limited-edition tote made just for the night.
