"As critics Steve Cuozzo and Rachel Sugar note, FiDi’s new pasta shop named Pastagram serves solid bowls of noodles but fails to deliver on its promise of photogenic food and space — apparently no one is very interested in taking photos there. It’s true that the Pastagram is much better at making pasta than it is at being a backdrop for Instagrams; what is fascinating is that it wants to try. It reads as a normal little quick lunch spot with some good details, ugly floors, mediocre light, and a weirdly sexy Instagram ambition, and overall it wants to be a photogenic star even if it doesn’t quite succeed." - Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya
