"The Post’s Steve Cuozzo checked out FiDi’s gimmicky new fast-casual pasta shop the Pastagram, which literally named itself after Instagram and claims to have designed its space and dishes with the intention of being post-worthy. But Cuozzo concluded that while the pasta is fresh, tasty, and affordable, it’s not as Instagrammable as promised: “It looks exactly like similar dishes at fast-casual spots such as Mark Ladner’s Pasta Flyer and even at generic chains like Café Metro,” he writes. The space doesn’t have any backdrops yet either, although those are supposedly coming. Instead, according to Cuozzo, there’s a monkey replica hanging from a ceiling pipe? In any case, Cuozzo asserts that “it’s excellent news that Pastagram is more successful at serving decent, inexpensive Italian dishes than it is at reaching social-media ‘influencers.’”" - Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya
