Nestled in the heart of Coorparoo, this rustic Italian restaurant is just minutes from your door and brimming with old-world flavour, warm hospitality, and house-made pasta that tastes like it came straight from the hills of Tuscany.
Whether you’re planning a casual midweek dinner, a romantic date night, or ordering takeaway after a long day, Factory 51 delivers an unforgettable Italian dining experience right here on Brisbane’s southside.
Authentic Italian Food Close to Home
Factory 51 is more than just another Italian restaurant in Coorparoo—it’s a celebration of tradition. Our pasta is handmade in-house using Australian premium semolina, filtered water, and a deep respect for Italian culinary methods. Many of our pasta shapes are even fermented with sourdough, creating a unique flavour and a texture you simply can’t find in store-bought noodles.
We also use bronze dies to extrude our long pasta, giving it that rustic texture that holds onto sauce perfectly—whether it’s our rich Wagyu ragù or a punchy Napoli.
If you’ve been searching online for “authentic Italian pasta near me,” “best Italian food Camp Hill,” or “pasta Coorparoo,” then Factory 51 is the local gem you’ve been craving.
What’s on the Menu for Italian Food Lovers?
Here’s just a taste of what’s winning hearts across Brisbane’s inner south:
- Sourdough Pappardelle with Wagyu Ragù – Rich, slow-cooked beef and wide ribbons of pasta that melt in your mouth.
- Squid Ink Linguini with Chilli Prawns – A bold and briny dish that balances elegance with a spicy kick.
- House-Made Ravioli with Pumpkin & Burnt Butter – Sweet, nutty, savoury, and completely seasonal.
- Potato Gnocchi al Forno – Baked in the wood-fired oven with Napoli sauce and bubbling cheese.
You’ll also find crisp arancini, wood-fired pizzas, antipasti boards, and decadent desserts—because no Italian feast is complete without something sweet to finish.
