1154 purports to be the date when the first use of dried pasta was recorded – but what isn’t in dispute is what a great little spot this is. Pasta is, of course, the order of the day; it’s all made in-house using free-range eggs and semolina from the South Island and is cooked to order. There’s also a weekly changing special pasta. Go for the authentic Bolognese which is full of meaty flavour – and generous in size – and finish with a well-made panna cotta. If you want to make new friends, sit at the long table.
