Our take: Tipo Pasta Bar — Aliwal offers a build-your-own pasta experience with handmade options.
We note that the feta dip, served with focaccia, receives consistent praise for its mild sweetness and flavour.
While the concept of customisable pasta is appealing, with options like pink sauce orecchiette and pesto mafaldine generally well-received, some reviews highlight inconsistencies in the pasta's texture, with 'chewy' or 'overwhelm saltiness' occasionally reported.
The service experience appears to be a point of contention, with multiple accounts of curt staff and long wait times for food and drinks.
We also see mentions of limited menu availability, with items like pizza sometimes out of stock.
We think this spot is best for those who enjoy customising their meals and are willing to overlook potential service hiccups.
A meal for two, including two pastas and truffle fries, can run around $81+.
Best for a casual meal during off-peak hours when the crowd is thinner, allowing for a more relaxed experience.

What customers say
Tipo Pasta Bar - Aliwal receives mixed reviews, with some customers praising the handmade pasta, particularly the pink sauce orecchiette and pesto mafaldine, and the feta dip.
However, significant concerns are raised about inconsistent service quality, with some staff described as rude or lacking empathy, and long wait times for food and drinks.
The al dente pasta preparation is sometimes perceived as too chewy, and some dishes, like the pesto gnocchi, are found to be overly salty, while others like the Alfredo and Seafood Sensation are deemed unexceptional.
Lack of air-conditioning and limited food availability also detract from the experience for some patrons.
