"Pastamarket is the Italian restaurant equivalent of a Choose Your Own Adventure book. You get to customize your noodle and preferred sauce from an almost overwhelming amount of options. There are so many that you may think to yourself, “This can’t all be good.” But the slightly remarkable thing about Pastamarket is that it is all good. Plus, if you’re feeling indecisive, they have menu items that don’t require filling out a pasta questionnaire, like an excellent strozzapreti with pistachio and mascarpone. Pastamarket is a perfect lowkey option when you just want a simple bowl of noodles—and they really make the most out of their small outdoor patio too." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo
