Daily TeamMakaron Restauracja, or Pasta Restaurant in English, is one of Poznań’s hidden gems, especially for pasta lovers. Though Poznań has only a few restaurants that focus primarily on pasta, Makaron Restauracja stands out as one of the best. Located in Ogrody on Zofii Nałkowskiej 61 street, it’s a bit outside the city center, but the journey is worth it. For those without a car, the 18 tram from Polwiejska tram stop will get you there in about 12 minutes. Tucked away in the middle of a housing estate, it’s the kind of place you need to know about to find—a true hidden jewel.
The interior has an industrial feel, with blue walls contrasting nicely against bare cement and low-hanging pipes from the ceiling, creating a modern and stylish atmosphere.
With summer approaching, you’ll be able to relax in the fresh air and unwind in their outdoor seating area. If the heat is too much then stray inside to their air-conditioned indoor space for a cool respite.
When it comes to the chow, the pasta buffet is a must-try, offering a variety of delicious options. Or, if you’re in the mood for something off the menu, we recommend their homemade spaghetti with basil pesto, shrimps, pistachios, and burrata for 55 PLN. The combination of fresh basil pesto, succulent shrimps, crunchy pistachios, and creamy burrata creates a harmonious blend of flavors that is both rich and refreshing.
Another favorite is their best seller, Cacio e Pepe for 39 PLN with truffle and pistachios. This dish delivers a perfect balance of the sharpness of Pecorino Romano cheese, the earthiness of truffle, and the nuttiness of pistachios. It’s a simple yet sophisticated dish that packs a punch of flavor.
If you’re in the mood for pizza, their Margherita is a must-try for just 28 PLN. The classic combination of fresh tomato sauce, mozzarella, and basil is a testament to the beauty of simplicity, offering a delightful burst of flavor in every bite.
We’ve also heard great things about their seasonal risotto’s and can’t wait to try it ourselves. Stay tuned for our upcoming review! For now, if you’re looking for an extraordinary pasta experience in Poznań, make your way to Makaron Restauracja. You won’t be disappointed.
