My newest favourite restaurant for pasta is Louie just across from Coogee Beach.

We start off with a bright and punchy ocean trout and kingfish crudo. Then the Black Opal wagyu flank steak with smoked carrot purée and in lieu of vegetables we opted for fries with rosemary and a cloud of pecorino.

Now for all the pastas! The bucatini amatriciana has a spicy kick to it and is so good with the stracciatella cheese, the sweet corn tortellini is unexpectedly incredible and so different and the pappardelle with wagyu brisket and porcini ragu was fine but I wished it was more saucy.

But the star of the whole menu is the campanelle pasta with prawn and a really intense crustacean butter and a good drizzle of chilli oil.

For dessert the tiramisu had the perfect ratio of cream to sponge and just the right amount of bitterness from the coffee to balance the sweetness.
