Il Baretto
Il Baretto Surry Hills has a really good staple spaghetti bolognese which you can’t fault for $14. Their carbonara is made the traditional way - olive oil, eggs, bacon and herbs - but on my order the egg in the sauce had coagulated which made it quite oily toward the end. I tried their signature duck ragu on a different visit and it was nowhere near as epic as it is purported to be, but still good. A solid neighbourhood eatery if you don’t mind the wait at dinnertime.
