Get your pasta cravings satisfied at one of Adelaide’s culinary institutions, Parlamento. It is always packed to the brim. While the restaurant décor is a little clinical and cafe-looking, the food is generous and full of flavor. The signature pasta dish is a winner. The Penne Basilico features chicken breast, semi-sundried tomatoes, roast capsicum and fresh basil in a cream tomato salsa. Simple and delicious with al dente pasta, the fresh and vibrant cream tomato salsa gets a punch from the sundried tomatoes and roast capsicum, hearty chicken pieces and the fragrant touch of fresh basil. Order the main pasta serving sizes, if you dare. They are HUGE. The entree size is $4 less than the price of a main serving size, but you’ll be more than satisfied by the generosity of the food. Book ahead; expect fast and casual service, a noisy atmosphere, and lots of food options and don’t forget to bring an empty stomach!
