Pastizzis and Pasta (by Biggs)

We spent the day drinking beers overlooking the water in Sydney which was a fucking delight. In the late afternoon we demanded our local friends came up with an equally special way to spend the evening. There were mutterings about where we could go for dinner - somewhere fancy? Somewhere hip? Somewhere unique?

In the end it was decided we would go somewhere cheap and cheerful and close to home. We headed to a little pastizzi cafe which I think might have been called Pastizzi Cafe. It was a delightful little neighbourhood place where the owner commanded the strip. When we arrived he cleared a table of gaggling ladies who had finished eating and were in the process of finishing their multiple bottles of wine. "If you're not eating - leave!".

We ordered a round of pastizzies (only $2.50 each!), my favourite being the chicken and chorizo. Then we had to wait over an hour for our pasta - normally an unacceptable wait time but we were completely boozed and having a wonderful time so were happy to stick around. In the end it was worth the wait - little pillows of beef ravioli in a simple chili and garlic oil. Delicious! I love a place that does one thing and does it well.
