Great knowledge of coeliacs. Will offer gluten free bread and ensure gluten free pasta is not cross contaminated when cooked in kitchen.
Amazing quality. Just be wary if ordering a drink, they do use “pasta” straws.
This spot offers a fresh, modern Italian vibe with a unique funky vehicle centerpiece that adds character to the cozy, convivial atmosphere. It stands out for its authentic, fluffy gluten-free gnocchi, perfectly paired with rich, flavorful sauces that invite guests to dip bread and savor every bite.

The place is always busy and sometimes you need to line up for few minutes or even wait for a table, but the food is really good and really good portions.
Sadly they don’t have much options for gluten free or dairy free. The price is ok

My gf and I went and it was fabulous. We got the set menu and as a celiac, it was tremendous. For $55, the set menu is definitely worth the money, and they don’t even charge extra for gluten free pasta. The staff were welcoming and friendly, providing excellent service, to which a 20% tip felt justified.
This cafe stands out for its dedicated gluten-free options, including gluten-free pasta and desserts that delight coeliacs and gluten-sensitive diners alike.

Such a VIBE – and the pasta is next level!
Had the best experience at Patzizi Café in Newtown! The atmosphere is seriously vibing—laid-back, welcoming, and full of character. As an Italian, I do not say this lightly: the pasta was absolutely fantastic.
My mum ordered the seafood pasta and was so happy to find out they cater for coeliacs—such a bonus! The variety of seafood and generous portions were spot on, and the flavours were rich and authentic. Amazing value for money, especially considering the quality.
I had the tomato gnocchi and all I can say is: WOW WOW WOW. Perfectly soft, handmade, pillowy gnocchi with a sauce that tasted like it came straight from Nonna’s kitchen.
The staff were absolutely lovely, attentive without being overbearing, and clearly passionate about good food and service.
Would 100% recommend—can’t wait to come back!
