Fabien Butazzi: Wow. Pappardelle with 8-hour Dexter beef shin ragu are out of this world. And they have Pici as well!

Cole Kennedy: This is the sort of spot that makes you wish you lived around the corner. I loved the lamb ragù pappardelle, and simply trust whatever the staff suggests for wine.

Ashley Chan: Super affordable and tasty pasta. Even though the silk handkerchief egg pasta is the most photogenic, it’s def not the best. Go for their spicy pork ragú or other options!
JC: Get the pork ragu mafalde, hazelnut butter handkerchiefs and MUST ORDER SEAWEED BUTTER BUCATINI. The seafood in it varies but it’s my favorite pasta dish ever. So buttery and chewy
Levent Akgerman: Pasta sauces, i.e. Nduja ragu and ox cheek ragu were subliminal. Intriguing starters and short wine list, but great value Italian reds!

The Daily Meal: Their Frizzante Caf is a huge draw in itself, with fresh, homemade dishes like rabbit terrine, pappardelle with pork ragu, and steamed trout. Read more.
The Guardian: "A refreshingly rough 'n' ready, slightly ramshackle place with excellent blackboard specials, such as pappardelle pasta with a slow-cooked pork ragu or pressed organic brawn terrine..." Read more.
Cynthia Wei: There's brilliant Italian cafe-style food in Frizzante, the restaurant in the farm. The enclosed garden is great for picnics in the summer and there are pottery classes for adults and children, plus
