Carb Loading!

Pizza, Pasta Kitchen
Toongabie


After a long day at university, the Friday night munchies hit hard. Takeaway, a game of twister and Eurovision was on the cards! 

Calling ahead 2 pizza's and 3 pastas were ordered. 

- Supreme 
- Hawaiian
- Bolognese- Cabanara
- Tortellini Boscaiolia

The food was incredible! The supreme pizza had copious amounts of topping with a crunchy base and a wood fired oven crust. The Hawaiian was incredible, with locally sourced leg ham placed on the pizza followed by the crunchy base and the large amounts of mozarella. Lets just say the pizza's were demolished. 

Each pasta on the menu appears to come in two variations: one cream-based and one tomato-based. We ended up serendipitously/deliberately choosing 2 cream options. The other tagliatelle option was Bolognese .

The cabanara, is a celebration of carbs-and-cream, slippery strands of pasta hiding a forest of finely shaved mushrooms, chunky pieces of bacon and fresh herbs. The cream was light and just the right amount of salt had been added to tie the dish together. It was defiantly my favorite dish of the night. 

Covered in red sauce, bits of olives and onions drizzled with olive oil this pasta was a crowd pleaser within the group. A napkin was needed both on our laps and around our chest to protect our white shirts. As we gobbled, slurped and soaked up all that red sauce with sour dough bread!

A large portion enough for 2 people to share!

The Tortellini Boscaiola

was a bit of a disappointment. A overly thick creamy white based sauce. The salt was over powering, with the added chunks of bacon the pasta became too much. 

The filling was dry and lacked any real flavor. 

Overall Rating:

3/5 Stars

Recomendation:

Best for a takeaway meal! Classic Friday night Couch and lounge! Recommend the red based sauce pasta and ofc the Family large pizzas!

After a long draining periods of listening to lecturers, tutors and fellow peers, all you want to do is wind down having a cold beverage, listening to sweet tunes or having a fantastic catch up with a friends. Well the good news is that Ubar offers this service for all Macquarie students and non- students. 

Activities to undertake while at Ubar

 It was Friday a bunch of friends usually go out for a quick bite to eat and some friendly banter. With all this choice, proximity and accessibility there was no reason why not to pick Ubar as the meeting point. Sitting down next to the big screen the four of us enjoyed some delicious pizza made from the Ubar staff, whilst also enjoying the music videos and vibrant energy the venue brings.

  

Overall Rating:

4/5 Stars

Recommendation: 

Overall I personally really enjoy the atmosphere, vibes and peaceful surroundings. The fact that this is situated with a lakeside view and overlooking a plethora of grass gives a sense of relaxation and allows university students to cool off from the pressures of academic life.
