"These days, if a restaurant is smashing burgers or selling pasta, there’s an 80% chance it’s happening in Wynwood. But Pasta, originally from Peru, has a refreshingly light cacio e pepe, razor clams topped with ‘nduja, and a funky gorgonzola and mascarpone cheesecake that proves there is room for another Italian restaurant in our city. Other than some starters and dessert, pasta makes up the entire menu, and Pasta’s pasta prices are mostly under $25, which isn’t bad compared to its ever-growing competitors. It has the standard Wynwood look of minimalist decor and exposed ductwork, so nothing here will distract you from your conversation with a promising Tinder connection. Get the agnolotti that has a poignant mushroom flavor and the cacio e pepe tossed in a cheesy sauce that doesn’t overwhelm the true star of the plate: the fresh noodles." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino
