Carlton eatery Brunetti Classico isn't planning to miss out on all the World Pasta Day action. Head in on Wednesday, October 25, to take advantage of two limited-edition pasta dishes for just $18 each. You can opt for the bright ruby-red beetroot fettucini, generously coated in parmesan and pecorino sauce and finished with a decadent parmesan crisp, or the Moreton Bay bug linguine with cherry tomato, parsley, garlic and white wine sauce.

Arguably the king of pasta in Melbourne, Guy Grossi will be joining the festivities this World Pasta Day with a delicious pop-up at his salumi bar Ombra. For one night only on Wednesday, October 25, diners can indulge in a selection of five of his classic pasta dishes followed by a 'dessert pasta' (aka cannoli), for $55 per head. It's a great way to get a taste of some of Grossi's most lauded pasta creations, without splashing out on a multi-course degustation à la Grossi Florentino. We've got our eye on Mamma's lasagne, but you can also try the duck tortellini, tortellini di zucca with pumpkin, brown butter and sage, gnocchi with tomato, mozzarella and basil, and fresh spaghetti vongole. The event runs from 5pm to 11pm, and you can make a booking here.
