Bowled over
The Spag Bowl was first created here at Piccolino in 2017, and has since featured in a few Melbourne food editorials – The Herald Sun, SBS Food, as well as Urban List to name a few. It's now the inspiration behind our Bowled Over offering.
The name Spag Bowl was the result of us initially using spaghetti bolognese, but of course customers can now enjoy any of our house made pasta's served in a wood fired handcrafted pizza bowl. Choose your pasta from the menu above, simply add $5 for the bowl.
If you can't choose, and find yourself torn between pizza & pasta, this one's for you.
