Italian Drinks in Caringbah: Cocktails, Wine & Mocktails at The Pasta Bistro

A relaxed guide to what’s on our drinks list—designed to pair with your meal, your mood, and your moment

At The Pasta Bistro, we believe the drink you choose should do more than fill a glass—it should complement the dish in front of you, the company beside you, and the kind of night (or lunch) you're having.

Looking for drinks in Caringbah? Whether you're looking for a pre-dinner Aperol Spritz, a smooth glass of wine, or a refreshing non-alcoholic option, our drinks list is simple, thoughtful, and crafted to work with real food and real guests.

This is your guide to how we do drinks—Italian in inspiration, local at heart.

Cocktails That Keep It Classic

Our cocktail list is built around well-loved Italian staples and balanced classics—nothing overly fussy, just great drinks made well.

Popular options include:

• Aperol Spritz – light, citrusy, and perfect to start a meal

• Negroni – for those who like a stronger, bitter-edged aperitif

• Amaretto Spritz – smooth, almond-forward, and a quiet favourite

• Bistro Signature Cocktail – French vodka, lychee, cranberry, and lime

• Espresso Martini – for when you’re craving both a drink and a dessert

All cocktails are made to order, served with care, and designed to ease you into your meal—not overpower it.

Wines Made to Match the Menu

Our wine list is compact but considered—featuring Italian classics and Australian favourites chosen to complement our pasta, seafood, and mains.

White Wines:

• Pinot Grigio (Italy) – crisp, clean, and ideal with lighter pastas

• Chardonnay (Yarra Valley) – rich enough for creamy dishes

• Sauvignon Blanc (Adelaide Hills) – citrus-forward, great with seafood

Red Wines:

• Sangiovese (Tuscany) – earthy and made for Bolognese

• Shiraz (Barossa) – bold and full, perfect with grilled meats

• Cabernet Sauvignon (Margaret River) – smooth and structured

Sparkling & Rosé:

• Prosecco – bright, celebratory, and great with entrées

• Rosé (Bouchard Aîné) – dry and fresh with a subtle fruit finish

Ask our team for pairing suggestions—we’re happy to help you find your match.

Non-Alcoholic Options That Don’t Feel Like a Compromise

Whether you're not drinking or just want something light, our mocktails and sodas are built to bring the same flavour and attention to detail as everything else on the list.

Top picks include:

• Berry Spritz – fruit-forward, not overly sweet

• Lemon Lime & Bitters – a crisp, nostalgic go-to

• Pink Lemonade – fun and refreshing

• Italian soda & Santa Vittoria sparkling water – simple, clean, and a classic match for pasta

Great for designated drivers, daytime dining, or anyone who just wants a refreshing drink that feels like a treat.

Coffee & After-Dinner Sips

If you’re winding down the evening or just not ready to leave yet, we’ve got a few favourites to help you finish strong.

Available after dinner (or whenever you need a boost):

• Espresso, Flat White, Long Black – barista-made

• Affogato – vanilla gelato drowned in espresso, with or without liqueur

• Amaretto, Baileys, Frangelico, Kahlúa – for a slow-sipping finish

These make for a smooth end to any meal—or a reason to linger a little longer.
