Enjoy authentic Italian handmade pasta at XLIII Coffee

A specialty coffee shop, where there is the aroma of freshly roasted coffee beans, the hum of the grinder, and the image of a barista meticulously making a cup of pour-over coffee . What would that refined world be like if it opened its arms to welcome a rich, complete meal? The answer lies in your Pasta Fresca (fresh handmade pasta) experience when you set foot in XLIII Coffee. Like the selected specialty coffee beans, a plate of handmade pasta is the pinnacle of simplicity, where the quality of each ingredient determines everything.

Understanding XLIII’s All-day Dining – The Philosophy of Seamlessness

Before exploring each flavor, it is important to better understand the “ All-Day Dining ” philosophy at XLIII Coffee.. This is not a concept of a restaurant serving all dishes all day long. Instead, it is a philosophy of consistency and seamlessness in the experience.

1. Consistent philosophy : Consistent philosophy: The red thread that runs through everything served – from the rare Gesha beans to the tagliatelle pasta – is an uncompromising commitment to quality and provenance. The same thinking that goes into selecting the best coffee farmers is also used to source the finest semolina, the ripest tomatoes, and the right Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. Customers who trust the quality of their coffee can also trust the quality of their meal.
2. Seamless experience : “ All-Day Dining ” meets the flexible pace of modern life. The line between “coffee time” and “lunch time” is increasingly blurred. You can start a focused morning work session with a cup of Filter , then seamlessly transition to a quality business lunch with a plate of pasta Bolognese , and end the afternoon with a Shot to recharge your batteries – all in the same space, with the same service standards and quality.
3. Purposeful Selection : Our menu is not spread out. It is purposefully curated, focusing on classic dishes where we can put our heart and soul into making them the best they can be. It is a respect for both our culinary heritage and our guests’ time.

And nothing better demonstrates this philosophy than the presence of the artisanal Pasta Classica menu , a statement of a holistic culinary destination.

Explore XLIII Coffee’s Handmade Pasta Menu

Each pasta dish on our menu is a classic Italian piece, reinterpreted with the utmost respect and the finest ingredients, ready to converse with our finest coffee beans.

Lasagna

Thin, soft pasta sheets interspersed with layers of Bolognese sauce simmered for hours for a deep sweetness, combined with creamy béchamel sauce and golden melted Parmesan cheese. This is a dish of sophistication, warmth and fullness, like a family meal.

Lasagna’s richness needs a drink to balance it out. A smooth, slightly acidic Cold Brew will be a gentle match, or a shot of Espresso will give it a strong, decisive kick.

Pesto Pappardelle

An explosion of green and fragrance. A fresh pesto of Ligurian basil, garlic, pine nuts and cheese spreads over wide, rough strands of pappardelle pasta. A dish that awakens the senses with the freshness, vibrancy and rich flavours of an Italian summer.

A cup of Filter coffee with its bright, berry-like acidity will resonate wonderfully with the freshness of Pesto, creating an energetic and exciting taste experience.

Raviolini di Carne Con Crema Tartufo

The delicate pasta “pillows” envelop the “treasure” of a rich meat filling, bathed in a luxurious, aromatic black truffle cream sauce. Each bite is a symphony of deep umami, softness and delicacy.

The elegance of truffles requires a worthy partner. A latte made with Brazilian coffee beans with notes of chocolate and hazelnuts is the perfect backdrop, enhancing the richness of the cream sauce without overshadowing the aroma of the truffle.

Tagliatelle alla Bolognese

The soul of this dish lies in patience. The ragu sauce is simmered for 4 hours, making every piece of beef melt in your mouth, blending with the natural sweetness of the tomatoes and vegetables. The fresh tagliatelle noodles cling to every drop of sauce, bringing a feeling of original and incomparable satisfaction.

Like Lasagna, the richness of Bolognese pairs well with a shot of Espresso to create a powerful and focused taste experience.

Carbonara Tagliatelle

A classic Roman dance. Not a drop of cream, just the original blend of crispy guanciale (cured pork cheek), organic egg yolks and Pecrino cheese, creating a golden, smooth sauce that coats each strand of pasta.

To balance out this intense richness, a cup of Filter coffee with its floral aroma and light sourness like lemon tea would be a great choice, helping to cleanse the palate after each bite and making the experience lighter.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is the pasta at XLIII Coffee fresh, handmade?

Absolutely. All pasta dishes (except Lasagna with its signature pasta sheets) use fresh, handmade pasta made daily. We believe this is the core element that makes the difference. Fresh pasta has a soft, slightly chewy texture and a natural rough surface, which helps to “embrace” the sauce perfectly, bringing a complete taste experience that industrial dry pasta cannot have.

2. Can I enjoy pasta at any time of day?

Yes. That’s the spirit of our “All-Day Dining” philosophy. We understand that the need for a quality meal is not limited to lunch or dinner. Our kitchen is always ready to serve you a hot plate of pasta, whether it’s a late lunch after a long meeting or a light afternoon snack to recharge your batteries.

3. Are there any vegetarian options on the pasta menu?

Yes. Our Pesto Pappardelle is a completely vegetarian option. With the fresh taste of basil, the richness of pine nuts and cheese, it is a light yet satisfying dish. Let our staff know about your vegetarian needs so they can advise you accordingly.
