"The chef Amit Rabinovich, of Forma Pasta Factory, has devised a dough that cooks as quickly as fresh pasta but has the sturdiness of dried, and is served—with sauces such as a luscious white ragù—nearly instantly." - Hannah Goldfield

Very quick service, kind and friendly staff, extremely delicious food🔥 I was waiting for my pasta for 6-7min, took some to go. Nicely packed, super fresh. I ordered their pasta with shrimps, it was fantastic, will definitely come back for lunch! They are making very fresh pasta!!! And the prices are surprisingly affordable

Second time I have been here and the food has been great each time. I got a side of cauliflower there focaccia and the gemelli pesto pasta. Place has been busy both times and they get the food out quick while still making sure that it is quality food.

DO NOT HESITATE TO EAT HERE. One of the best dining experiences ive ever had in New York. Absolutely incredible how their pasta is the price that it is. It's fresh handmade pasta and you can see them making it in the front. The texture is absolutely perfect, tastes so good. This place blew my mind. The bread that comes with the soup is so damn good it's one of the best breads that i've had in my life. Imagine if milk bread was Italian... so plush and scrumptious. For a small place, the ambiance is soo nice. So much natural light in a tucked away seating area in the back. Clean as can be. Service makes this place though. Shout out the owner who must keep their employees very happy because the energy in this place set the tone for my day. I was like sad to leave because I was having so much fun and felt so much joy eating there and being taken care of in a genuine way. Forgot to snag a pic but their tirimisu is also made in house and is impeccable. Not too much alcohol flavour if any at all, perfectly whipped marscapone and evenly soaked ladyfingers. Forma i love you😂🫰🥹

Phenomenal! The pasta is delicious, their sauces are flavorful and both very obviously freshly made. The staff is very polite and friendly. The place is small but set up very nicely so multiple people and even larger groups can sit together. Their wine selections are great. I like bitter white and my best friend likes the sweetest whites and we were both pleased with the glasses we got (man at the register recommended which we should each get) I’ve been recommending this restaurant non stop to my coworkers and everyone who will listen!

High quality Pasta, all the staffs are friendly attentive most importantly they love their foods. Happily gives recommendations. it is a small place, packed of people. Dine-In a bit tricky, like a self service table. Customer even willing take the seat literally NEXT to the restroom. less than 2 feet. because the FOOD is sooo good.

Forma Pasta Factory is the BEST pasta restaurant in Greenpoint! We enjoyed the complete experience. The space is cozy and comfortable. We sat outside which has an informal rustic feel but comfortable. The staff is friendly and professional and very accommodating! The food.. the pasta is perfectly made and the sauces are exceptionally delicious! Our lunch was perfect that day and we’re going back soon.

I love Forma, this was my second time eating here and I ordered the pesto pasta. It was super fresh and bright, but definitely on the salty side. Last time I was there I had the Wednesday special and I still think about it. Definitely go eat here if you have the chance !

A beautiful place for a date night in NY. The employee at the register was very warm and helpful. If I’m not mistaken, if it’s your first time dining with them and you order a pasta, you can purchase a $5 glass of wine as well. Great atmosphere, seating is first come first serve, witnessing the food being made felt like I was watching an episode of ‘The Bear’. Relatively quick service as well. Would definitely be back!

I've been to Forma many times, and I love it. It is a very small space, with very limited seating. If you go during peak hours, there's always a line out the door. I've tried a lot of the pastas, including the pomodoro, funghi, pesto, and mafaldine. My favorite is malfaldine, but all of the ones I've had have been great. I'm pretty picky about pomodoro pasta, and theirs does not disappoint. Forma is a wonderful pasta spot in the area. The value is unmatched, and the pastas are great! My only complaint is that it's always so crowded -- be less popular! I would definitely recommend it.

Order first at counter, grab a number, then grab your table. Tables are self-serve and you are expected to get your own water and clean up your table after eating. Fantastic fresh homemade pasta, fluffy bread, and amazing sauce to dip your bread in. Favorites were the scampi, carbonara, and papardelle bolognese. Chefs and front of house staff were all wonderful and friendly! There are a few single bar seating areas across from the register and a few small tables in the back. Whole restaurant can fit probably about 30 or so people spread out over all tables and seating areas.

We were pleasantly surprised by the quality at Forma Pasta Factory! We came for their lunch specials which includes a side and a main for less than $20. Every order comes with fluffy hunks of olive oil focaccia as well. We opted for 2 lunch specials. We chose both the kale caesar and the gem salads. Mafaldine Scampi - a light seafoody broth with the most fun, curly noodles. I loved the frills, perfect for scooping up sauce. Fettuccine Funghi - super creamy and packed with mushroom umami thanks to the medley of mushrooms. Pappardelle Bolognese - saucy with just enough ground beef chunks without being too heavy.

One of the best places to get a quality and quick meal for a reasonable price. Hard to find pasta for less than $20 nowadays. A casual and slightly loud vibe. Line up to order - get a tray with a number which you can then bring to a table. Service is great as they will bring the pasta out to you when it's ready. Limited menu with a rotating pasta of the day depending on the day of the week. Couple staples: pipette ragu and pappardelle bolognese. I also enjoy the fettucine funghi if you enjoy mushrooms. Pasta is fresh (you can sometimes see them making it) and a generous portion as well. Cooked perfectly al dente and just the right amount of sauce (+ meat). The meal also comes with a piece of foccacia perfect for soaking up any extra sauce.

I absolutely love this place--great value for the price! The pasta is fantastic. If you're a fan of Eataly, you should definitely check this spot out (the prices are even more affordable than Eataly). It's a food court-style setup where you order ahead and then find a table. The waiter will bring your food right to you. They also provide different special pasta ($17 for special, regular is $14) in each day, 100% will go back and try all of them! Plus you can get fresh pasta here too!

Casual and affordable fresh pasta joint in Greenpoint serving delicious pasta in a fast-casual style! There is almost always a line so just be prepared to wait. When you get there you line up and order/pay at the counter where they'll give you a number. You find seating and they'll bring your pasta out to you. There's actually a surprising amount of seating especially in the back of the restaurant. The pasta itself is fresh and delicious! We got the Malfadine Scampi (lighter w a good amount of shrimp esp for $14) and the Pipette Ragu (my favorite- incredibly flavorful and creamy). The pasta itself is perfectly al dente and toothsome. You also get bread which is great for sopping up all the extra sauce. Definitely will be back to try some of their daily specials!

Amazing pasta! Place your order at the front and they give you a number. Pick somewhere to sit down and they bring your meal out to you. Service was kind and even checked in during my meal. I ordered the pappardelle bolognese and was blown away. Pappardelle is my favorite. It was cooked al dente so there was a bit of a bite, but the bolognese sauce was flavorful, tangy, and had sooo much meat in it like a good bolognese should. A plate of pasta also came with a side of focaccia bread that was also delicious.

Forma Pasta Factory is nestled in Brooklyn's Greenpoint. This eatery offers affordable pasta dishes priced at $14 each. The menu boasts a wide range, I indulged in the shrimp scampi while my friend enjoyed the lasagna. The food was piping hot and incredibly fresh when served. Moreover, they provide complimentary bread and water that's delightfully tender and luxurious. For $14, this establishment is an absolute bargain. Seating is available at the back, bathed in natural light. I'm eager for my next visit to sample their other offerings. Proximity to the G & L line Mccarren park just across the road Surrounded by several thrift shops Scrumptious Economical Great seating layout

AMAZING GEM !! This restaurant is a must try & prices are so affordable for NYC!! My husband and J came in on a Saturday night at 7:30pm and it was quite busy (heads up you're unable to make reservations). This is the type of place where you order & pay at the front, find a table, and then a waiter brings you the food. We ordered the cauliflower side, Pipette Ragu, Mafaldine Shrimp Scanpi, Boudino dessert, and red wine ($5 wine with your pasta order). - Cauliflower - 8.5/10 flavors were impeccable, love the capers in it! - Pipette Ragu - My husband rated it a 9/10. The pasta was perfectly al dente & the chopped up sausages were a treat - Mafaldine Shrimp Scampi - 9/10 they gave at least 8-10 shrimps so they don't skimp out on you!! Flavors were delicious with the touch of spice and lemon. The pasta is like a squiggly fettuccini and nothing I've had before. would 100% order this again. Both pastas came with bread and pastas were made fresh with perfect texture. - Boudino - 6/10 Dark chocolate pudding with caramel. It was good but quite heavy. It wasn't anything special and I wouldn't come back for it. Overall, we would come back here again to try the other pastas for date night!!! So worth the visit.

Food was good 7/10 flavor was good, texture wise a little too al dente , and portions were ok on the smaller side for the price, could be better Service was great they were very attentive and friendly and welcoming. Ambiance it was a cute little spot but very crammed inside. Had to sit on a small counter against the wall but it was nice. It's more of a fast food pasta place Overall it was decent Might go back if I pass by

Elisa L.

Yelp
Amazing value. Outdoor seating area is really cute. Indoor can be a bit crammed. Not sure if it's because of a tiktok trend but it's recently gotten overly popular with long lines out the door. There is also a location in Fort Greene which is a lot more spacious.

Claire M.

Yelp
Stopped in for a quick bite and was so glad I did! We got the fettuccini funghi, mafaldine scampi, and it came with a free piece of focaccia for each dish. The pasta was cooked perfectly al dente and the flavors were amazing. The favorite was definitely the mafaldine scampi because the sauce had such a deep flavor and the focaccia soaked up the sauce really well. The focaccia itself was extremely moist and fluffy. The inside is fairly small with tables mainly for 2-4 people. The vibe is very casual which makes it perfect for a quick bite and it only took maybe 15 mins for our food to come out. Overall, I would definitely come back and plan to try the lasagna the next time I visit.

There's not a lot of trendy places that are a good bang for your buck but forma pasta factory lives up to the hype. Tbh thought the pasta texture here was better than I had at L'artusi (don't come for me with that hot take!!!). All the pasta was al dente (I do wish it was slight more cooked), but loved the chewy fresh pasta nonetheless. Got the pesto pasta and the pesto was incredibly fresh and not heavy which I appreciated. Was able to get a table on a Sunday night and waited about 15 mins to receive the food. Liked the focaccia bread - pro tip save it til the end to eat with your sauce!!

Rae A.

Yelp
Always such a steal for lunch or a quick snack - with affordable prices and great variety. All the food comes with foccacia bread and it was fresh and soft! I enjoy the fungi pasta but for future reference I think the parpadelle would be a good choice. I did like that they have different weekday specials and the food came out quickly. People are friendly and food is fast and cheap (for nyc). Nice neighborhood place.

Maya A.

Yelp
I love this place! The food is scrumptious!!! I usually get the mafaldine scampi and it's always a hit. Yesterday I got that, meatballs, and the Brussel sprouts. It was absolutely wonderful. The cauliflower is also delicious. This was an uber eats order.

Paula L.

Yelp
This place is a well oiled machine. It seems chaotic, but everything comes together so well. We went in on a Sunday and looked out and got a table right away. Waited for our order. The pasta is perfect. The sauce is delicious. And I can't wait to go back and try everything else on the menu.

Wendy O.

Yelp
Wow!! What a cute small spot with amazing tasting dishes. The service was okay for the lost part you order your own food get your utensils and water. The food and drinks will come to you by a waiter and you clean up after yourself. We enjoyed the pasta and wine at Fabrica it was tasty and fresh. They really surprised me with their fresh pasta. We had the Pappardelle Bolognese and the Gomelli Pesto.

I went here with a friend who was craving pasta, and as a regular at the Ft. Greene location, we decided to try the original. The outdoor space is cute, as its position ins nestled between blocks. We went in and the process is technically the same, walk up and order, take a number and a seat. Salad came first... problem number one. There was zero dressing. Freshly washed crisp greens. Pasta comes out and the first dish, the pappardelle was so undercooked, I could barely bite it. The sauce was surprisingly commercial tasting. I was so disappointed. Thankfully the guy checking tables changed it for me. The "focaccia" a simple square of unflavored slightly stale, homemade bread. was Sadly the malfadine was overcooked. By this time, I was tired packed it to go, and left. I'll stick to the other location.

This is one of the few places in New York where you won't have to break the bank for good Italian food. There's been a deceivingly short line in front of the restaurant every time that I've gone...the line moves sooo slowly! But if you have the time and patience, it's definitely worth it. The portions are pretty large and each dish is super affordable (~$15). I've tried a variety of their pastas, and all of them have been really good!

Vivian L.

Yelp
Wow, this pasta place was SO good, rich and creamy! I got the pipette ragu & my friend got pappardelle bolognese and both were really good, but I think I liked the pappardelle bolognese better! You order first, then they'll give you a number, and you'll have to find a table. This place was very crowded on a Friday night. The seats inside and outside were all taken. Water is also self-served. It took a while for our food to come out (which was understandable) but once it came out, it was worth the wait! They also had a $5 deal for wine and I got the Sauvignon blanc one and it was fine. I would 100% come back here again! Super delicious pasta!

Michelle F.

Yelp
Came by with a few friends on a Saturday around 5 PM! There was already a line, so I'm sure the line later in the evening is even longer. I ordered the pipette ragu and both of my friends got the pesto! I thought the pipette ragu was super tasty! The pasta also comes with a piece of focaccia which was just ok but was free so I can't complain! The pasta was too al dente for my liking. However, for the price, I think forma is a great stop for a quick dinner / takeout if you're looking for some yummy pasta!

Nazlina G.

Yelp
Pasta was very good. & staff was very friendly. My fettuccine was outstanding - a few pieces were a bit undercooked and a little stuck together- but I was willing to see past it - as the mushroom sauce absolutely made up for that! Can't wait to try a few more dishes. Xx

we ordered the pipette ragu and the gemelli pesto. both pastas were delicious! the pasta is cooked perfectly al dente and it's also made fresh! the sauces coat the noodles super well and there's so much great flavor! it also comes with bread which is super soft and perfect to dip in the sauce. the service is great super quick! will definitely be back

I came here for some good pasta for an affordable price and I must say the pasta was amazing to be very affordable . I will add it is very small but there is still room to sit down and eat .

The pasta is made fresh and it's really really good. Staff is very attentive and service is quick. The place is small and you kinda get cramped while sitting so not recommended for large families. But other than that it's a really nice place and experience!

Heidi M.

Yelp
Honestly a taaad overhyped to me, especially during peak busy hours. From the time we joined the line around 8pm on a Friday evening (it was out the door) to the time the pastas arrived at our table, it took about 45 min total. With the casual counter style service we were also stressed about snagging a table indoors but after just a couple min of hovering we were luckily able to get one. The wait staff were friendly despite the crowd, zooming in and out to deliver the hot plates of pastas to everyone. As for the pastas themselves - we ordered the shrimp scampi (now $14) and the Friday special, lamb ragu ($17). There was no doubt that the pastas were fresh and perfectly Al dente but in my opinion both dishes were overly salted in flavor. Really decent portion size though and for the scampi, a fair amount of shrimps! The complimentary bread was also a nice touch and a great way to soak up the leftover pasta juices. At this price point I'd probably return only if the wait time was shorter or for takeout.

Jennifer W.

Yelp
Big portions, affordable prices, and food is ready pretty fast (5-10 mins). Once you walk in, you order at the register and pay first, then you find a seat, and the workers bring out your food to you afterwards. It can get pretty packed/crowded during dinner hour, so it might be harder to find a table then. The pasta portions are very generous and sizable, so I'm usually pretty full afterwards. The price is also very affordable compared to other restaurants ($12-$15). The workers also bring over complimentary bread to your table after you order, which is nice to snack on while waiting for your pasta dish. The beef ragu is my favorite dish there, but I highly recommend their pasta dishes.

Nicholas S.

Yelp
My gf and I have been coming here since they opened...and we haven't stopped. The service and food is always great. I have literally ate my way through the whole menu multiple times. I decided to include a list of my favorites: Saturday Special Trofie Pipette Ragu Shrimp Scampi Malfadine Side Grilled Chicken and Side Cauliflower. Always keep any out on the Chef specials. It's a great way to always have something new to try with their delicious pasta. My favorite is the Mac and Cheese special. Hopefully I will have it soon since it about that time of the year.

Aylon P.

Yelp
A low key quick service restaurant serving up incredible homemade pasta dishes. I didn't expect too much from a counter service pasta place, but I was completely blown away by everything here. They make all of the pasta right in the shop, so it's all super high quality and fresh as heck. Everything we had was incredible, and they have specials for each day of the week so there's always something new to come back for. Service is quick and friendly. You order at the counter, get a number flag, find any open seat, and they bring out your food as soon as it's ready, which is never too long. The space is super clean with a great modern feel, with counter spots and tables. It is a smaller space though, and it can be a little tight to find an open table, so feel free to take it to go or delivery. I can't recommend this place enough! Do yourself a favor and try it all.

Eugenia Y.

Yelp
My fav pasta place of all time. It is a little chaotic in there, and you don't really know if you're going to have seats because it's super crowded, but we got very lucky when we went and managed to find a seat. Staff are very friendly, and the prices are so low (what a deal!), I'm always shocked! You cannot go wrong with anything you get here, and they have various specialties each day that I'm keen to try at some point (which I say every time, but always end up getting pasta). Our favs are the malfadine scampi and the fettuccine funghi, but honestly everything is very good. I also personally LOVE the bread. Anyway, writing this review is making my mouth water and I cannot wait for my next trip back!

(Overall: B) - Forma Pasta Factory has been a place I've been wanting to try for a long time and I think is definitely worth another visit. They are priced very well with considerate staff and a pleasant ambience with the hidden room in the back. The food was intruiging too, but after trying my friend's pasta, which was even larger shape and even more al dente, I felt that the control on the hardness of the pasta needs a bit more care. (Trofie - Saturday Special: B) - This is a value deal of a pasta with fresh pasta, made and cooked right in front of you for less than $20! I really like the tomato based flavor with an intense flavor profile, and the short rib was very tender and paired well with the dish. The red onions were particularly interesting as the acidity help add some sharp contrast, but I would've liked to see more of it. My only restraint from this dish is the pasta is a bit too hard, so cooking it for 1 more minute would be preferable. (Cauliflower: A+) - The cauliflower is a stellar side all around for only $7! The roasted cauliflower is very tender and well seasoned. I was also particularly impressed by the flavor development of that dressing from the pine nuts to the olive oil and vinegar, to the herbs and chili. This is a refreshing side I highly recommend for all. -- Food: E Presentation: E Price: +1 Atmosphere: +1 Service: +1 Menu: E Overall: +3 B Insta/Beli: @amei_eats

Food (5/5) - Pasta is actually al dente. There is a daily special and 1-2 chef's specials, and a small pasta menu of around 6 dishes, believe it rotates. I generally like small menus because it reduces the time needed to make a decision, and you can also see all the fresh pasta that will be used for your pasta, and take your pick that way. Sauce is not broken (got a lamb ragu and shrimp scampi), but also not too heavy. Bread crumbs are a great touch on the shrimp scampi, wish more places would do it to add a little bit of crunch. Fresh grated cheese available on request, and all orders come with a serving of bread to mop up the extra sauce at the end. Bread has the softness of focaccia without the grease. Service (5/5) - Mostly self serve (you get a tray with glasses and silverware, and have to put it away, but staff roam around and get you extras whenever needed / refill your water. Everyone was very friendly. Line moves really fast but the cashier doesn't rush you in your order. Ambiance (5/5) - Tight space but they made great use of it. A few high tops along a narrow hallway where the kitchen also is, and a few normal height tables at the back near the restroom. There is also outdoor seating on a street that isn't too busy traffic wise. Bright and light. Price (5/5) - Great value, 15 per dish or so; appetizers a little pricier but still 10 or so.

This place is dope, you won't find these prices along with the quality you find here anywhere in NYC. My mouth dropped when I saw all the pastas were $13, a steal! Nomz: Had the scampi and it was phenomenal, super flavorful and had a little spice. The pasta was cooked a little less than al dente but not in a way it ruined the pasta. For a first timer this was recommended by the staff, along with - the bolognese and the ragú. Service: Counter service, line moved at a normal speed, not too fast or slow. They give you a number and they find you. Ambiance: Cute little place, long entryway for the line with a couple of two seaters along the wall. If you go all the way back there are a couple of more tables and a nook for bigger parties. There is also seating outside, not a great place for big groups if you want to sit with each other. Nope or Dope: Dope, what a delicious place at the cheapest price I've seen! I want to eat it allllll. P.s. They also have fresh pasta kits and sauce to take home if you want.

Busy fast casual spot. Line up to order and someone will bring the food out to you. There is a small spot towards the back to dine in but it appears most grab takeout. Prices are very reasonable. Pasta made fresh and cooked to perfection. Best dish was the scampi and the most pedestrian is the spaghetti, which is still pretty darn good!

Linh N.

Yelp
Absolutely amazing pasta made fresh on the spot! There is a line to order and pay for the food, then you find your own table. They bring out the food to your table when it's ready. The space is very small inside but there's lots of seating outside. While waiting for the food, I got to observe how the pasta was made. The whole kitchen is on full display and it's very cool to watch. Got to chat with the manager (who is very friendly but I forgot his name) and he says they've been open for 5 years now. The pasta itself is so delicious. It was cooked to perfection (al dente, as it should be). The sauce was seasoned just right. I would also recommend trying their salads (especially the gem salad). You won't regret it! Prices are very cheap for the quality.

Michelle T.

Yelp
The cheapest pasta in New York City!!! For $14, you can get complimentary homemade bread and a generous portion of pasta. Even though the bread was complimentary, it definitely added some bonus points as it was so fresh. We ordered the fettuccine funghi and pipette ragu and it was quite aldente. The flavors were rich and it left us very satisfied! It's a casual, walk up to order restaurant and it was pretty busy on a weekday evening. The interior was small, but there was also plenty of outdoor seating.

Kate L.

Yelp
I had a dream about this place the other day after coming here, and that's how good this place is. For only $14 for the classic dishes, you'll be leaving satiated and satisfied but wanting more. My friend and I got the fettuccine funghi and pipette ragu, and both were so incredibly tasty. I don't even like mushrooms normally but loved the mushrooms in the fettuccine. This place also comes with a side of the fluffiest complimentary bread, and parmesan cheese if you ask for it. I want to try the bolognese and all the other dishes on the menu. This place is 100% worth your while. Service is not the quickest but understand la because of how busy it was. There's indoor and outdoor seating and is a great place for solo dining as well, but a bit cramped inside.

Christina S.

Yelp
As someone who believes pasta should be its own food group, I've been itching to try Forma for a while and it definitely lived up to the hype. A friend and I came on a Saturday night to sus it out. The vibe- cozy and packed but not too loud. Just what we were looking for. We both picked our pasta and the recommended wine pairing and waited eagerly. Not realizing the limited seating situation in the space ahead of time made us a bit nervous we would not be able to find a table but it all worked out fine in the end- definitely plan accordingly if you decide to dine in as you order then wait at your table for food to be served. Our wine and pasta came out shortly after with some complimentary homemade bread. Everything was absolutely amazing. Fabulous flavor and cooked to al dente. Could not recommend enough. I'm definitely coming back.

This place deserves the attention it gets! The pasta was so yummy AND affordable compared to other places in ny. The staff were all really friendly too. I loved the inviting atmosphere and I would 100% come back! The mafaldine scampi was delicious and the shrimp was perfectly cooked! The fettuccine funghi was perfect. I got the pipette ragu on a different day, and that dish also tasted so good. I don't think you can go wrong with anything on the menu!!

Elsy M.

Yelp
Forma Pasta Factory in Brooklyn is a true gem for pasta lovers. During my visit, I tried three different types of pasta: Pappardelle Bolognese, Gemelli Pesto, and Pipette Ragu. Each dish was incredibly flavorful and delicious. The freshness and quality of the ingredients were evident in every bite. The bread they serve is another highlight--fluffy, soft, and perfect for dipping in the rich sauces. The back seating area provides a chill and relaxing atmosphere, making it an ideal spot to enjoy a meal. The service is great. They are very attentive and always ensuring we are good. I would gladly return to Forma Pasta Factory. The combination of amazing, fresh-tasting food and a comfortable ambiance makes it a must-visit for anyone in Brooklyn.

Jess Z.

Yelp
Yummy, affordable pasta! It's everything you could ask for in a casual pasta spot. Love the variety of pastas and how simple the place is. This time, I got the pomodoro and the fettucine funghi. Absolutely loved the brightness and acidity of the tomatoes in the pomodoro - so good on a summer day. Also a perfect pairing to the focaccia bread they give for free. Next time, I'll probably try one of their daily specials!

Yelp
There's a great pasta restaurant that doesn't break the bank and has plenty of great sides that don't require five people to share? Yep! Pasta is cooked al dente and sauces are flavorful. Can't beat $13-16 for this selection of pastas. $7 sides were great as well, perfect to try a bit of everything and share with another person (or not). Be sure to check the chalkboard for specials not on the normal menu! The way the restaurant works is you find yourself a table, order at the counter and you will get a table number with some water glasses and utensils. The food will be brought to you when it is ready. The staff on the floor are also super friendly!

I mean wow!! This place was nothing short of incredible. I had the pipette ragu and let me tell you! It was to die for! Juicy, tasty, all of the things you want a pasta dish to be and then some. The pricing is unbeatable. Between the pricing of dishes and the quality of the meals, you cannot go wrong and cannot ask for more. Very healthy portion sizes too! Im glad I live far away because I would be here way to often. I came here with my good friend and we talked for some time and ate and enjoyed our meals and raved on each bite. We got the meatballs to share and she had the papardelle Bolognese. Topped off with some sprite and a glass of wine! We dined here for hours. And watched dozens of delivery guys and guests for take out and dine in, order like crazy! I must say I am so impressed. Having just gotten back from Italy weeks ago, this is up to par with the dishes I tasted back in Florence! This place is a must try. I cannot wait to come back for more and bring hubby.

Delicious, reasonably priced, great service. All good things when I think about Forma. The pasta was cooked to perfection and so flavorful. Great spot for a quick and delicious bite. The free focaccia was fluffy and delicious, too

One of the best quick pasta places around! Forma also has a great lunch special daily. We have tried almost all the different pasta options and have not been disappointed once. I would definitely recommend calling ahead and taking away. The line can get really long on a friday/weekend.

I'd heard a lot of good things about this place, so I came here 630 on a Friday night and the place was just starting to get busy. You order up front and they bring the pasta to you - you get to see them make the pastas which is kinda cool! There's two seating sections, one in the front and one in the back that's outside. We had to wait a while but we managed to get seats in the back. By the time we left at like 7:30 it did look like people were struggling to find seats and there was quite a line. But the ambiance outside in the back was really cute! It was perfect for the warm summery night. I got the Mafaldine Scampi - which I thought was honestly just okay. The sauce was really salty, I felt like I was guzzling so much water throughout my meal. The pasta was quite al dente, which I liked! The Pesto dish my friend got didn't have too much flavor though, so overall I'd say the food was okay - we were mostly just really excited about how cheap it was for New York!

Best house made fresh pasta under $15. It's simply the best bang for your buck anywhere. I mean, where else can you get an appetizer, two entrées and two glasses of wine for under $50.....I can't think of any. Staff is super friendly and helpful. They personify service with a smile.

I just stopped by for lunch and was surprised at how good the service and food were. Will recommend it to my friends from Queens
