Absolutely fantastic spot! The pasta tasting is simply spectacular, every dish a delight. The staff is incredibly attentive and welcoming. A definite must-visit in NYC!

Very nice restaurant and a generally cool concept! This restaurant is like hibachi meats pasta? You can watch the chefs make the pasta while sitting and eating. I really enjoyed my meal (although I think it was more pasta than I could handle) and my date had a really good dish too. The space is a little tight but it’s a nice spot and intimate for sure. The food got a little cold which is why I dropped them a star, but the flavor was fantastic. Our waiter (I think Francesco) was excellent and I’ll definitely make my way out there again!

I’m usually not a fan of burrata, but I gave it a try because it looked so good, and it was absolutely amazing! The pasta was delicious too, but what really stood out was the incredible vibe and energy in the room. 10/10. Had a truly wonderful evening at this restaurant.

had the truffle pasta, salmon carpaccio, and chef’s salad—all were excellent. The flavors were fresh and well-balanced. Service was friendly and attentive. Just a heads-up: you’ll definitely need a reservation on weekends, it gets packed!

I revisited this spot over the weekend, two years after my first visit. Since we walked in, we ended up sitting at the bar, which turned out to be a fun experience as we could watch the food being prepared right in front of us. We ordered a glass of white wine, burrata, and truffle pasta. Everything tasted amazing, but the portion size of the pasta was surprisingly small—barely three bites! It was disappointing, especially since I remember the portions being much more generous during my first visit. If you're planning to go, keep the portion sizes in mind. The quality is still great, but the value for money has definitely changed.

A Pasta Bar is a fun, party type of restaurant where you can snap a couple great pictures of the food and ambiance and then be politely escorted out for the next party to come in. Food was very good and the ambiance was fun, just don’t go if you want to be able to take your time and savor your meal with friends. There is a time cutoff.

Did a little staycation in the city and stopped by A Pasta Bar in SoHo on West Broadway. Cool open concept space. Decent vibe overall. Maybe the music was a little too loud but I was dying so low so that didn't really matter.. I was bummed they were out of one of the dishes I really wanted to try, so that was a letdown. That said, the pasta pomodoro was solid, savory, flavorful, and the spaghetti was cooked just right. You can tell the pasta is homemade, which I always appreciate. Had a glass of Nebbiolo. It was a really nice wine, though the pour was a little light for the price if I’m being honest. The pistachio dessert? Total pistachio overload... in a good way! I liked the Regina salad too. All in all, a great spot with great pasta to stop by after some shopping

Me and my friends went around 7 on a weekday and the place was bumping. Very busy with music, felt very hip. We sat at the counter, which was fun because we got to watch them cook. I went with 2 other people and we shared the prosciutto focaccia, black truffle pasta, rigatoni piccante, the tagliatelle al ragu bolognese, and the tiramisu. The prosciutto focaccia was absolutely amazing. The ricotta dip with pesto was so so creamy and delicious. All the pastas were also super delicious. If I had to pick, my favorite was the Rigatoni Piccante because of the kick. The tiramisu was fine -- definitely something you could get anywhere. It is a bit pricey, but I think it's worth the money. There was also a cute basil plant in the kitchen, so you know their basil is fresh.

I don't even know where to begin with how amazing this restaurant was! The place is very small and intimate. I highly recommend getting a seat at the chefs counter if you can. Watching them crank out the pasta dishes non stop adds to the appeal. We started with the homemade burrata appetizer that also had pistachios in it and I can never eat burrata any other way ever again. My friend and I did the pasta tasting and it was easily the best pasta I've had in my life. I always thought I hated cacio e pepe but turns out, I LOVED the one here! The truffle pasta was also a close second. Service was great and attentive though the pasta courses did feel a little rushed as they came out just as we were finishing up one dish. Overall great experience and worth the hype!

Overall rating: 4.2 I've had this place saved for years, then read that it was overrated so I removed it. Then! I saw a dang tiktok, and got back on the train. Given this turmoil, I obviously had high expectations. I did the Chef's table for 2 with a friend for $150. First of all, the videos 10000% overhype this place. It is TINY. The seating at the bar to watch the chefs cook cool appeal is like 7 seats. Max. They were not fond that I was late even though my friend was happy to pay and eat while she waited for me. They made it very clear it was a 90 min reservation 5-10x to her and to myself when I arrived. Like, okay. We understand the time limit when I made the reservation and when you told her the first time. Do you think we can't hear? This obviously deterred us from spending more money on alcohol. The chefs table was the way to go, but was it worth it? eh. The food was al dente posta, possibly more. But as someone who doesn't I only likes 2 out of the 5. Happy I was able to split it with someone. The staff was also.. not friendly. And the cool chef's experience, since the place is small - it's basically a kitchen because it's so small. Not worth it & I do not recommend.

Ambiance - intimate, great for dates and small groups Service - our plates were quickly refreshed with each pasta that came out, our main waiter took quite a while to take our order for dessert as well as giving us our bill Food - if you are like me & don't know what to get I would recommend the pasta tasting! Pasta was cooked to perfection, uovo In Raviolo was my abs favorite

Ambiance: 9/10. This place is super cute and has a cozy vibe, perfect for a date night. Service: 10/10. The staff was amazing & really friendly. They gave us fresh plates and utensils every time we got a new dish, I noticed that they were being very attentive to the guests. Food: 6/10 We tried the Pasta Tasting Set ($150 for two), which includes 5 different pasta dishes (half portions). The Cacio E Pepe was definitely the standout, loved it! The other four however were fine, but nothing to stood out. Also found them to be a bit too salty for my liking. I was also a bit let down that the pasta sauces aren't made from scratch and are actually frozen in containers. For a place like this, I expected more. And even though it's called a "pasta bar," the whole experience feels less personal. The kitchen is open, but they're cooking for both the bar and the regular dining area, so it doesn't quite give you that custom, pasta-bar vibe you might expect. Definitely does not justify the $150 price-tag. To be fair, this was my first pasta bar experience and I had different expectations and this is just how they operate.

Food was solid, although a bit pricey for what it was. Made a reservation and it was canceled (got a message around 1 to confirm by 3, and my reservation was canceled by 330) but called and luckily they were able to reinstate it for a similar time, but it did throw our day for a bit of a tizzy. I'd rather have them default to collecting a deposit vs canceling in case I can't get to my phone in time. Pasta was good but pricey for what it was. They kicked us out quite abruptly and we had order d a bottle of wine. I totally get that they need their table, but would have appreciated them letting us know 15 min in advance or offer us a spot at the bar (even if it's standing room) to finish up our drink. Music was a little loud, but good, but it just made it a little harder to converse. Maybe wait until after the dinner rush is over to turn up the music and turn it into a club. Food was good but pricey. Loved the way they presented the pasta though. It was pre-rolled and drenched in sauce. Highly recommend the fettucini or cacio e Pepe. Nice experience overall.

Dined at a pasta bar last night for my birthday. The restaurant is setup up like a hibachi but for pasta so the best seats are by the chef. The service was fantastic as well as the music. People were constantly flowing in and out. If you like a spicy margarita, unknown caller was so so yummy! We had two drinks each and felt a little buzzed. Ordered the pasta tasting to be able to try their best pastas. You get to try 5 different pastas for $150 to share between 2 people and the portions are not small. I couldn't make it to the fifth pasta! My absolute favorite was the truffle pasta! They brought over a tiramisu cake with candle to celebrate which was the perfect texture. Definitely returning!

Dark and mysterious with vibrant vibes coming from the speakers makes this not so hidden hideaway enchanting. Perfect for date night. The customized glassware and China reflects that every detail was well thought of. The concrete tables give a chefs table vibe and the center island with brass top on ripple chiseled stone granite sets the stage for personalized cooked dishes a la minute and hand crafted cocktails. Burrata is delicious, topped with sauce and crushed pistachios - definitely enough to split so you can save your appetite for the 5 Course Pasta tasting. THE TASTING IS THE WAY TO GO. Trust me! 1-Tonnarelli Cacio Pepe - no doubt the crowd favorite. 2-Spaghettone ai 4 Pomodori - spectacular flavor explosion. 3-Spaghetti a la Vongole- a little salty for me yet extremely flavorful. 4-Tagliatelle Al Tartufo Nero- excelente! 5-Raviolo Ripieno- OMG! Egg Yolk surprise was outrageous! Watching the orchestration of the culinary team was in and of itself part of the experience. Save room for the Pistachio 3x. Definitely worth the calories. If you want something lighter, the Fragrole (strawberries and cream) will top you off. Be sure to make a reservation as walk in availability is slim to none. Also do try to arrive close to your reservation time as there really isn't much of a waiting area inside during cold or inclement weather.

I made a reservation on Resy at the counter but when we arrived, the staff sat my parents and me at a table. I feel that the open kitchen concept is the pull of the restaurant, so I was disappointed when we were sat away from the bar. The food was ok: the chef's salad was tangy but I couldn't taste the yuzu kosho and the vongole clams were cooked well but the sauce was a little salty. I felt it was a pleasant experience, but I felt that I won't be repeating this anytime soon.

The pasta is amazing! Very flavorful and the portion sizes are definitely filling. The service was very friendly and quick. The place was busy but not overwhelming. The dessert was good but we preferred the tiramisu over the cheesecake.

Ended up here after a show at the mercury lounge. Definitely met all expectations, from fresh plates at every turn to a delicious assortment of pasta tastings. The drinks were a little light, but overall the service and seating at the bar created a great experience!

So happy I walked by A Pasta Bar and decided to make a resy for the following week. The restaurant is modern and clean. Server was friendly. + Casual Affair 5/5: The best watermelon cocktail. It's sweet and refreshing, and doesn't taste boozy. + Uovo In Raviolo 5/5: Creamy spinach ricotta ravioli topped with a ton of truffles. I thought it was super flavorful and rich. + Tagliatelle All'Astice 5/5: Omg so delicious! I love al dente tagliatelle, savory lobster bisque, and fresh lobster chunks. I enjoyed every bite but wish there was more lobster meat for the hefty price. Unfortunately I had to deduct one star because our water cups were not refilled throughout the meal. The bathroom also needs help lol. Both the toilet and the faucet are loose and need to be tightened.

Ok so the pasta was great. Vibes were cool with music blasting and chefs hard at work in the center of the restaurant where you can see everything. But it was hot outside and they did not turn the AC on. Everybody was literally sweating. Customers, servers, chefs, all dripping sweat and constantly wiping their faces. Can't not imagine sweat being dropped in our dishes. Asked the server about the AC, she rolled her eyes and said "it's supposed to be turned on". Implying they purposely had it off that night. So as good as the pasta was, this made it hard to enjoy the experience as it was uncomfortably hot and we were sweating. Can't Imagine being bringing a date here as cool of a place it is. Disappointing experience. With that said. The food was fantastic. Specially the truffle tagliatelle, and the dry sausage pasta. The latter was very unique and delicious. Turn the AC on peoples!

Made a reservation at the chef's counter. I think a table in the indoor/outdoor space would've been nicer. Once you see them make the pasta once there's not much else to see. We ordered the Uovo in Raviolo to start. Supposedly they only make a set amount a night. It didn't seem like a popular dish. It was good; I liked the creaminess. If I had bread I would've wiped the plate clean. But not sure it was worth $33; I guess that's due to the truffle. Then we had the tonnarelli cacio e Pepe and the bolognese. They were good but this wouldn't be my favorite place for pasta. We had tiramisu for dessert. We cleaned the plate! Overall we didn't love it and thought the $130+ bill was a bit much especially since no alcohol was ordered. I wound up being hungry later in the night!

Had the best cheesecake of my life here without a doubt. If I could only eat one dessert for the rest of my life it would be this one. I could write an entire soliloquy just about this cheesecake. Incredibly unique and tasty. The truffle pasta here was also incredible, I'm a slut for anything with shaved truffle but the pasta was cooked perfectly and served in a delectable truffle cream sauce. The pappardelle ai funghi was good but nothing incredibly special, wouldn't order it again if we came back. Would definitely come back for the cheesecake and the truffle pasta

a pasta bar!! we had the 5 course pasta tasting menu rating: 7/10 pricing: $$$ it was pretty solid, i rly liked the tartare it so fire and the seafood pasta. the other pastas were just okay!! overall, it's pretty solid but i wouldn't return. the service was good and the food came out fast.

A Pasta Bar I've been wanting to come here for a while to see if it was worth the hype, and it definitely was The Tagliatella Al Tartufo Nero is one of the best truffle pastas I've had, a must get at your next visit. This sauce was perfection, and the presentation of the pasta was unique. The Mezzi Rigatoni Al Ragu was a traditional bolognese sauce and was dull of flavor and delicious. Let us know what you think if you've also tried this spot!! #nycfood #nycfoodie #nycfoodphotography #nycfoodies #nycfoodgals #nycfoodfinder #nycfoodblogger #newyorkfood #newyorkfoodie #newyorkfoodguide #newyorkfoodblog #newyorkfoodblogger #eeeeeats #foodandwine #foodies #tryitordiet #devourpower #buzzfeast #eatfamous #forkyeah #devour #feedme #brunch #lunch #dinner #dailyfoodfeed #eattheworld #cheatdayeats #cheatday #cheatmeal #delicious

I really wanted to give this place 5 stars. But the service knocked off 2 stars. I went here for my friend's birthday, and I arrived a bit earlier than expected. I approached the hostess to let her know I was there, and she looked me up and down before bluntly saying, "You'll be seated when your party is here," then walked away. No smile, no greeting--just total snobbery. The place was 75% empty, so I don't understand why I couldn't wait at the bar, especially since my reservation was there! Please be aware that they enforce a strict dress code. I wore a dress and heels. When my friend finally arrived, I told the hostess my party was here. She led me to a table, and I reminded her I had reserved a spot at the chef's counter, even showing her the confirmation. She rolled her eyes and said, "I don't know why it was switched. Give me a second." (Was it switched on purpose? My RBF was strong at this point.) After looking around for a bit, she finally seated us at the chef's counter. Overall, the entire experience left a bad taste in my mouth. I definitely felt discriminated as seen on others' reviews. Because the hostess allowed another girl (who was white) to sit at the table to wait for her other 3 friends but I couldn't? I loved the pasta! The pasta tasting was definitely worth it, especially for the generous amount of truffles they served--it was absolutely delicious. We started with the prosciutto, and while I wanted to try the burrata, it was clear it wasn't homemade. I saw the chefs open a prepackaged burrata and simply plate it, which was disappointing for $30. We also ordered a bottle of wine, and my personal favorite pasta was the Tagliatelle al Tartufo Nero. For dessert, we had the signature budino and loved the touch of hazelnuts. All that for a whopping total of $402 excluding gratuity. The server was quite indifferent during our interactions and didn't seem very attentive. Honestly, I'd rather have given the gratuity to the hardworking chefs. Love the pasta but not sure if I'd ever go out of my away to come back here for the poor experience. To the hostess: Don't judge people and lose the attitude.

Have heard about @apastabar a couple times and it turned out to be a lot more clubby vibes than I was expecting - think pretty decorations, loud music, and people who were dressed for the evening. Actually the music was so loud that everyone was yelling at each other at the table, so not the spot if you actually want to have a conversation. The pasta was good but definitely more Italian American with the heavy seasoning and everything on the saltier side. I preferred the raviolo out of the 2 we ordered. My favorite was the burrata. It was really nice with the dressing and lots of pistachios to go with it. Love pistachios! Overall I'm glad that I tried it, but given the options there are in the city, I probably wouldn't proactively visit again.

Although super busy on the weekends, we managed to get bar seating since the next reservation wasn't arriving until an hour later. The service was great, albeit the waitress felt a little pushy when it came to upselling us on more expensive appetizers as well as the pasta tasting option. It was super cool to sit at the bar and see all the chefs work and I wish more restaurants had this concept. I ordered: * Chef's Salad - 7/10: solid salad that probably looked more pretty than it tastes though the avocado cream was a nice touch * Cacio e Pepe - 8/10: super creamy pasta with exceptionally chewy noodles; if you're a cheese lover then you're going to love this dish Also, I don't know why they were so penny-pinching with the bread because they only gave one small ass slice per person. I think this is a good place to try at least once, but I personally would not go back.

We came here with a reservation for the chefs seating which is bar-type seating right in front of the kitchen where they make the pastas. Very nice inside with housey music. Small restaurant but elegant! The chicken croquette appetizer wasn't our favorite, but it was okay. The pastas however, were AMAZING! Absolutely loved the ragu, great flavor and amount of meat. The cacio e Pepe was rich and creamy. Can't wait to come back and try different pastas and dessert!

Highly expensive pasta - but I still had to give it 5 stars because it was just that good. Perfectly al-dente and addicting flavors. Perfect for special occasions.

Came here for drinks after a large brunch nearby. We were seated pretty quickly around 4pm on a Saturday and our waiter was amiable. Not being a fan of cucumber cocktails, I did find theirs pretty tasty. I would say half an hour in, we started feeling rushed which increasingly grew and became a turn off considering the prices here. While we only ordered an appetizer, we were constantly ordering drinks which are $20+. Overall, good drinks, but my experience was tainted by the overly hyped rush and to top it off, it's interesting how gratuity was charged for table of 4 adults and 2 small kids.

DO NOT EAT HERE! Extremely discriminatory experience. I am writing to express my extreme disappointment and frustration with my recent experience here. I was denied entry due to what I believe was a discriminatory application of your dress code policy. Despite being dressed similarly to other patrons who were allowed to dine, I was refused service. I was particularly upset to see that a white male patron who was dressed in a less formal manner than I was allowed to enter. I attempted to discuss the situation with the hostess and manager, but unfortunately, their responses were unsatisfactory. I was left feeling upset, humiliated, and discriminated against. This incident has left a negative impression on me and has made me hesitant to return to the establishment in the future. I believe that your restaurant's actions were not only discriminatory but also harmful. I urge you to take this matter seriously and review your dress code policies to ensure a more inclusive dining experience for all patrons. Having a dress code is fine. Enforcing dress code is completely completely fine. What is not OK? Allowing white people to be dressed out of dress code, but not allowing Black people to be dressed out of dress code.

Second time at A Pasta Bar We opted for individual pasta dishes from the à la carte menu, and every item, from appetizers to the main courses, was exceptionally delicious. Table favorite was the Tagliolini Al Ragu Bianco Service was impeccable, the ambiance was lively. Overall a great evening, thanks to the amazing food served by A Pasta Bar

I'm giving them 4 starts strictly for food and overall vibe. We had an 8:30pm reservation for the chefs table. We arrived on time but the chefs table was not available. The host was accommodating and offered to sit us elsewhere for the time being which we didn't mind. The waiter didn't introduce himself or announce himself. He just stood there and looked at us blankly. He also wanted us to order everything all at once and when we just wanted to start off with apps and drinks he said he would make an exception. We had the chicken croquettes, la Regina salad, lobster pasta, pistachio ice cream and a grappa to finish one night. Everything was SOOOO good. The pasta took a while to come out, so long I thought I was back in Europe. Our pasta was served lukewarm but I was too hungry to care. My best-friend had them nuke hers. Overall, the flavors were really clean and fresh. The decor was super thoughtful and really gave off a luxe vibe. Overall I'll be back because the food was so good!

The food was absolutely amazing . I had the chef salad and the Tagliatelle Al Tartufo Nero , it is like a creamy Alfredo but not , I don't know how to explain it. The ambience is perfect! The had music is great . The service was some of the best I have ever had. They were kind and patient it was our first time here and my son 10yr couldn't decide and she picked the perfect pasta for him with fresh Parmesan cheese. Our waitress name was Wendy and she was so sweet.

Place makes pasta in front of you. Pretty sweet place and cool idea. Quick service, quicker than normal actually.

I and my friend have wanted to go here for a while - back when it was originally Sola Pasta Bar (iykyk). We were able to snag a reservation late Friday evening for al fresco dining. One thing we didn't realize was that there was a Hugo Boss collab with A Pasta Bar, so I got to try at the disco and the boss drink, which were not originally on the menu. Both were mezcal based drinks, which were incredibly tasty. We opted for the pasta tasting in which were able to try 5 dishes: - Tagliatella Al Tartufo Nero (8.5/10) - Agnolotti Di Zucca Mantovani (9/10) - Tonnarelli Cacio e Pepe (7.5/10) - Rigatoni All'Arrabbiata (9.5/10) - Spaghetti Alle Vongole (9/10) Each dish was rich, hearty, and well flavored and the pastas were perfectly al dente every single time. The staff was on top of their game- we had each dish on our table before we finished the last one, and our drinks came out fast each time. We finished the night off with the alla banana. It was good but I felt like it was a little too rich after all of the amazing pastas we had, nevertheless, still really good. Super excited to come back here and try dining at the counter!

Super cute bar that serves delicious pasta and pizzas! The waygu tartar was loved by the group. There's def not many options if you aren't a pasta/ pizza or meat eater- there's a few salads that are delicious but that would be it. The drinks though are DELICIOUS- their version or a apéro spritz, and the tiramisu was also a fan dave! I would personally pop by amazing drinks on their patio and prob dine somewhere else but that's solely because I'm not a fan of pasta or pizza. Service is top notch!

A beautiful restaurant with delicious food and very nice staff. Service was quick. The pudding and chocolate cheesecake dessert were amazing. The Viva Vida drink was pretty good, didn't love it but didn't hate it. My friend and I loved our food and our waiter, a shorter gentleman with tattoos and a buzz cut, thick Italian accent.

I cannot rave enough about our experience at A Pasta Bar. I'm very glad we happened upon it as we walked toward our hotel. First, this is a poppin' place - the music, the staff, and the menu are very trendy. The music was awesome, but wasn't super quiet, if you're looking for a relaxed date, this probably isn't your spot. All of the staff was more than friendly, which made the experience even better. We tried two cocktails - both perfect - but the favorite is the current co-branded BOSS cocktail. I'm not sure how long the drink will be on the menu, but it's perfect, so I hope it never goes away. As for food, we did the tasting menu and couldn't be happier. I'm not sure which course I enjoyed the most, they were that good. However, if I was picking one to stay away from, I wouldn't get the clams again - not that it wasn't good, but it wasn't as flavorful as the others. This could be the best pasta I've ever had, hands down. Definitely grab the strawberry dessert too. It's light and airy, but full to taste.

Owner of the place is terrible. Was coming to Pasta bar regularly. The food and waiters are nice. The music is good too. However, the owner is terrible and can't handle the things right. He treats you like nothing. Will never come again.

This is a GREAT pasta bar. Our waiter was such a fun, kind Italian man with amazing recommendations. We ate the Agnolotti 'Fatti A Mano' which was our favorite, the Cacio e Pepe and the Rigatoni Bolonese. For appetizers we got the Burrata and Crocchette. Overall great restaurant, cute spot, good service. Would gladly return.

I visited A Pasta Bar a few months ago with my girlfriend, and while it was an okay experience back then, tonight was a completely different story. I went back tonight, this time with my service dog. Upon arrival, I asked the hostess if they had any bar seating or a table available. I made it clear that my dog is a service dog and even offered to show his ID. The hostess responded with a sarcastic smile, which felt dismissive. She then told me she'd check with her manager. After a few minutes, she returned and said, "Sorry, we don't have any tables or seating." This was at 9 pm on a Wednesday, and I could clearly see several empty tables. It seemed obvious that they didn't want to seat us because of my service dog. Adding to the frustration, another staff member, who wasn't even the manager, approached me and started an unnecessary argument. The behavior of the hostess and the staff was completely unprofessional and rude. I will never visit this place again, and I'd advise others to think twice before going here. Their staff clearly needs a lesson in basic hospitality and respect.

Great place for a date night or dinner with a friend! The ambiance is more intimate so better for a smaller group. The food is fantastic but definitely comes at a price. I got the cacio e pepe and it was worth the hype! Not only beautifully plated but also absolutely delicious! My friend got the bolognese and also really enjoyed it. We ended our meal with the tiramisu which was so decadent! Definitely on the creamier side with less cake but I loved it. Overall, a great place if you're in the mood to splurge a little for some high quality italian food!

I saw this place all over social media, so I came with my friend from out of town. We started off with the burrata, which was very tasty with the side of focaccio bread. The accompanying tomato sauce was a little lacking in flavor, but the pistachio was good. For pastas/mains, my favorite was the uovo in ravioli. Not only was it very egg yolk-y, the spinach and ricotta filling was well seasoned and creamy, which then paired well with the truffle flavors. Felt like it had multiple layers and left me wanting more. I believe there is only a limited number of servings each day. The tonnarelli cacio e pepe was another highlight. I loved how peppery it was! The pepper not only provided a spice kick but also a smokey flavor. The cheesey sauce was creamy but a little too heavy for me. The pasta was al dente throughout. The agnolotti fatti a mano was also great with the flavors, but I felt like the meat filling was a little dry. Love how there is a central open kitchen area where you see them cook your pasta, as well as bar seating around it. Lighting was dim. Staff were polite. Overall, food was delicious for sure but didn't "wow" me enough to live up to the IG hype.

This review has everything to do with the experience overall. I brought my boyfriend to A Pasta Bar for his birthday dinner and thought the experience would be amazing; that was not the case. The food was great as I have eaten here before Here is just a quick rundown of what we had: - We started with the burrata (it is simply amazing and done so differently from other restaurants) - Pasta tasting (I would recommend doing the tasting if you and your date want to try all of the pastas) my top two were the Cacio e Pepe and the truffle. - Tiramisu (really moist and full of flavor) The ambiance of the restaurant is super trendy and has a "be seen" vibe. The service was fine up until the end and this is where everything went wrong and the reason for the one star review: My boyfriend had to use the bathroom and as my boyfriend was locking the door security bursts in after him and grabs his arm and asks him to leave the restaurant immediately and that the bathroom is for guest only. Once my boyfriend returned to the table we told the wait staff and all she did was chuckle and say that they must have thought he was from the bar "Felix" next door; which is definitely not an excuse. We were never given an apology and management never came over. No one should put their hands on anyone and if you have a suspicion of something you should ask the person if they are indeed a guest, or maybe ask the wait staff as there were not many guest left in the restaurant. We should press charges against the security/ restaurant for the hostile behavior as this is not acceptable at all! I will not be returning to A Pasta Bar and I offer this review as a huge WARNING!

Firstly, the ambiance is exactly what I was hoping for. The music is loud, yet the vibes are intimate. It's a great place to bring a large group and even better for date night. We started off with the burrata followed by the truffle tagliatelle and bolognese pappardelle. Surprisingly, the burrata was the star. It's so fresh and the olive oil it sits over is simply delicious. The pasta was good too, but I definitely thought that would be the highlight of my meal. Our waiter was really amazing and very accommodating of my tree nut allergy. He's from Italy, and it's always nice to have that at an Italian restaurant. I recommend going to Little Ways before your reservation for a pre dinner drink.

A Pasta Bar was A mazing!!! It lived up to all expectations! We loved the atmosphere, the music & especially the food! Even my sparkling rose was fabulous! We shared the scallops as an appetizer...sensational. Then we had the papardelle bolognese & the eggplant pasta which was a mixture of a ravioli & beggars purse. The sauces complimented the dishes perfectly! My favorite part was the dark chocolate caramel ricotta cheesecake...which did NOT taste like its name at all; it was even better! It tasted not too rich, but super creamy, with a caramel graham cracker crust...it was the BEST dessert I've ever had and the portion was huge!!! We will definitely be coming back & telling everyone about our experience!!!

OK, no joke, best pasta I've ever had in my life. It was a pretty hot night, so still hot inside since there are no walls. I recommend sitting a the bar, where we sat, so you can watch the masters at work. The pasta was fresh, the pasta was tasty, and they really know how to put that together. We ordered the truffle pasta and the scampi pasta. They were both AMAZING! The truffles in the sauce of the truffle pasta and the truffles on top of the pasta really came through. The scampi pasta was rediculous. The breadcrumbs on top of the pasta really brought it all together. I even bought some breadcrumbs at home so that i can top all of my pasta with it. Everyone should go here and taste the pasta, which was amazing.

This restaurant has a nice, upscale vibe. A profanity-forward neon sign adorns one wall. To start, we had the chef's salad. It had a very artful presentation with the cucumber delicately arranged in a circle. The salad had no leafy greens and was just cucumber with creamed avocado, and a sprinkling of onion and tomato. Despite the minimalism, it was delicious. The cucumber and avocado paired perfectly together and tasted very fresh. For an entree, we shared the tagliatella al tartufo nero. I am a big truffle fan so I had high expectations. I thought the sauce would contain truffles, but it was just a regular garlic cream sauce. It was thick and rich but I felt the flavor was missing. The pasta was al dente and tasted homemade. The dish was topped with fresh truffles. It was tasty but didn't offer the bold truffle experience I was hoping for. For dessert, we had the tiramisu. It was light and subtly sweet. Strong mocha flavor. The cream topping melted in your mouth. To drink, I had the Tulum Ave. It was a poor choice on my end since I don't care for the taste of Campari but for those who do, the drink would be great. The spicy salted rim and grapefruit garnish were nice touches. My friend got the At the Disko and said it was enjoyably sweet. Though the food and service were good, I feel this restaurant is a bit overpriced.

Amazing anniversary dinner! Trendy, busy and delicious with great service. You'll need a resi 100%. The floral space is jam packed with tables as well as a Hibachi style open kitchen and a small bar. There's also outdoor seating. Folks were well dressed and the bathroom is wife approved. We sat chefs table and ordered the Wagyu tartar- deliciously seasoned with a texture that reminded me of tuna tartar, but better. Could have used more of the pillowy focaccia but the server was kind enough to big bread for the remaining portion. We split the limited supply ravioli- super rich, yolky and satisfying. We also split the bolognese, as good as Nonna ever made, FUGETBOUTIT! With its name sake, you can expect freshly made, amazingly textured pasta. We also had drinks which were sadly, less than good. Didn't finish my Viva Vida, my wife wasn't into the Paolo. They weren't offensive, just didn't compliment the food flavors and not particularly tasty. A Pasta Bat will be a repeat. Looking forward to our next meal at A pasta bar.

We came on a Sunday afternoon with great weather so they had all of the door open. The design is an indoor/outdoor concept which was nice for the day that we were there, but it did mean that there were a lot of flies in the kitchen area, flying around and landing on the food. If you are with a smaller party, I would recommend sitting at the bar so you can watch the dishes being made. The servers were very attentive at first, continuously checking on us, ensuring our drinks were full, and coursing out the pasta tasting menu so that we had one dish at a time. At some point during the meal, that changed and they brought out 3 courses at once and had to ask multiple times for refills. This wasn't horrible, but it was a difference from the service we initially received. We had the pasta tasting menu so we could try a few options on the menu. We enjoyed some pastas more than others, as to be expected, but most of the pastas were pretty delicious. We also had the chicken croquettes which were probably one of our least favorite dishes. They looked to be fried from frozen (since you can see the kitchen, we watched them make them) and they were pretty mushy. Overall the experience was enjoyable and the food was pretty good. I would recommend trying this place at least once.

5 stars for the burrata! Nice drinks Nice vibe at the chefs counter. Pasta is a little salty , but great all around. Service was good.

Hands down best place we ate in NYC, cute small restaurant that felt cozy and warm. The service was great, the burrata is THE BEST EVER & of course the truffle pasta is amazing. Would absolutely go back just for the burrata...

I think my email to them about my 11 person birthday dinner they cancelled because my friend who reserved it missed the 3pm confirmation email says it all: "I am writing to express my absolute shock at the way Friday was handled in cancelling my birthday reservation. The attitude of the staff and the lack of accommodation or acknowledgment of the severe misstep at hand was baffling to say the least. I have worked in hospitality and have never witnessed such a mishandling of what was an entirely avoidable situation. Confirmations are not guaranteed and there should have been a note considering I was the one emailing about the reservation and had acknowledged that it was under my friend's name. 11 person reservations are not easy to come by and if Felix next door had not felt awful for what had happened and rushed to save the night, it would have been absolutely devastating. You had my group of friends out in the cold literally and were happy to leave it that way without any sort of solution or even letting us stand inside while you tried to figure the situation out. To then not offer any type of genuine apology, solution, or future compensation was truly the cherry on top. I hope you learn from this event moving forward." In short, if you want to eat in this area, head across the street to Felix.

I did not dine here. Merely wanted to use the restroom. I was a well dressed person shopping in SOHO - not homeless or drunk coming in to trouble anyone or take advantage. Nice employee inside said OK but was vetoed by a young staffer outside directing seating who was not too friendly. Said I had to buy a drink - which I was totally cool with and said so politely. But the attitude and way it was said by the guy was offputting. When I came out of the restroom, I went straight to the bar and asked if I could order and stated why but was told absolutely not necesssary by a guy who seemed to be the manager. Younger guy didn't bother to apologize nor could he look me in the face on the way out. In fact, he trurned the other way. To you, learn some customer service and put on a smile. I'm not rating the food here nor ambience (as it seems to be great per other patrons) but instead on how I was treated by a single person and rather than the restaurant as a whole.

Very accommodating with food allergies and the presentation of all of the foos was absolutely spectacular. We were a large party, and they handled it so well!
