Il Pastaficio

Was sooo delicious! the focaccia was amazing and the handmade pasta aspect made the taste feel that much more authentic and genuine. The person who served the food was so kind and friendly and made the whole experience wonderful. Definitely would go again!

Delicious! Pasta al dente. We didn’t have reservation but they accommodated our party of three. Portion size is big enough to share. Great find. So sad we are out of town 😭. Maybe they ship 🙏

If you’re a fan of authentic, delicious pasta, then Ilpastaficio is an absolute must-visit! The pasta here is simply outstanding—each dish is crafted with care and bursting with flavor. From the first bite, it's clear that they use the freshest ingredients, making every pasta a true delight. And don't even get me started on the desserts—each one is a little slice of heaven. From rich, indulgent tiramisu to the most perfect lemon meringue, you'll be left craving more. We were so impressed, and without a doubt, we’ll be back for sure! The entire experience was memorable, and we can’t wait to return for more of that incredible food.

The Spinach Ravioli is SOOOOOO good! This time I had a different Ravioli but I seriously recommend the Spinach Ravioli. Their Canoli is also really good!

Very small little place in Cos Cob that seats about 8 people over just three tables. Everything was incredibly fresh and the handmade pasta was absolutely fantastic. The staff was very warm and welcoming, the little store part of the location is super cute and filled with Italian goodies. I absolutely will be back.

This little hole in the wall is an absolute treasure! The food is simply incredible – the pasta is perfectly cooked, the sauces are bursting with flavor, and the portions are generous. We especially loved the Bucatini Casio e Pepe – it was simply divine. The service was warm and friendly, and the overall atmosphere was cozy and inviting. If you're craving authentic Italian food in Connecticut, look no further. P.S. …the desert was smooth, fresh and delectable.

My husband is an excellent Italian cook so we rarely go to Italian restaurants but this one caught our attention and we decided to give it a try. I can't recommend Il Pastifico highly enough. Everything on the menu was so tempting we made our poor sweet waitress come back three times before we could settle on what we wanted more. I chose spaghetti carbonara which was amazing and my husband had a thicker pasta with a duck ragout -- a house special. We shared tastes and loved them both. The focaccia was great as well and the portions of everything were so generous that we left with a complete meal for tomorrow. I live a hundred miles away but look forward to a return to this fabulous spot in April. Oh I forgot to mention dessert. We chose ricotta pie. Tender with just the right amount of sweetness.

They do DoorDash to Greenwich Hospital l, quickly - that was my criteria for my patient. Ordered gnocchi , they have an order and you can max it for an additional $9. That was a good deal. I'm not a gnocchi fan but hubby is. He liked it. Had a salad - good. I would say solid, good food. Nothing outrageous. And good solid food.

I have such a love / hate relationship with this place. Love: it's hands down the best fresh pasta you can buy. We love it so much we get it at least once a week. Their sauces - fantastic. The Nutella Crostata - out of this world! And friendly staff. Hate: the refusal to sell less than ONE POUND of fresh pasta. I thought they'd have walked back this hugely unpopular policy by now but they pre-portion one pound boxes of everything and that's it! Today I tried to buy two containers of sauce, a pound of pasta and a half a pound of ravioli (I'm the only one in the house that eats it and freezing it defeats the point of fresh pasta). Instead of giving them $60 or so, I had to leave with just the crostata and we'll probably order dinner. The saddest part is that we then instead order via Uber Eats and get individual cooked portions and then Uber takes 30%. (As I said, once a week.) But we can't actually pay them directly to buy the stuff in store to make ourselves. Frustrating! So this is a 5 star place in every respect except the 1 star "buy a pound or buy nothing" policy. If they ever went down to a reasonable half pound minimum we'd be buying weekly.

Mangia! Great place to sit - cozy and bring your own wine. Start with the focaccia - it is WONDERFUL! Stir that into some olive oil with red pepper flakes and grated parmesan. We had an amazing waiter Matteo - he spoke English and Italian. We ordered Tagliatelle Al Ragu, Bucatini alla gricia, Bigoli con Ragu d'anatra. We actually loved it here so much that we have been here 3 days in the past 2 weeks! Highly recommend - and get the punch card for pasta. After 8 dishes you get 1 free.

Stopped by the shop once before and the staff is quite kind and helpful. We have ordered via uber eats a number of times and food is absolutely amazing. The Amatriciana and Silana are quite good and worth a try. My partner requires gluten free and we've been able to get that option before, but it's not always available on Uber eats, which is unfortunate. At any rate, highly recommend this place. It's truly great!

Definitely recommend! Handmade pasta and focaccia, absolutely spot on. Soft, buttery, and delicious. The ice cream is also made in house and it's sooo good! I love their desserts, they are rich and authentic.

Delicious! I've never had fresh marinara sauce that's so flavorful and not sour. The eggplant parm was to die for. I love the simple ingredients and fresh taste. Cheesecake was also good, not too sweet.

As a first time customer I found that the employees seemed to hover. They have a beautiful selection of pastas to choose from, but it felt awkward trying to chat with my girlfriend and pick just the one we wanted with 2 people staring. We ended up getting 1lb each of gnocchi, tagliatelle, and spinach and ricotta ravioli. It was all spectacular and i totally enjoyed it. I'll definitely be going back, but I'll choose what i want ahead of time.

Very fresh pasta, incredible tiramisu, would eat everything on the menu if I had the room. A favorite place of ours to eat out and very friendly and kind service.

Food dried out lasagna picked up takeout got home all ready for great food opened it to dried out burnt convection oven lasagna! Service is good friendly conversant. Ambiance small cozy not very comfortable though. I called after seeing takeout they refunded my check.

a consistent standout. no compromises in its italianness. not italian american, ie not your place for meatballs and chicken parms pictured here were delicious spiral pasta with sausage and my wife had vegetarian pappardele. can get wine across street for byob

Driving through CT and wanted to try a place that was on Triple D. I am very happy with this pick! Amazing fresh pasta with delicious seafood. Fresh mozzarella on our caprese salad and home made focaccia bread that left me wanting more. Service was perfect and friendly. It's a small bright inviting ambiance. Only has 4 tables so seems to mostly be a "to-go" spot. Next time will try the dessert!

shockingly mediocre. what's the fuss about this spot? the pasta is ok. the sauces are poor. it's not cheap. had the pesto, meat sauce and lasagna (which was gross). won't be back. go to 25 North for solid delivery

Il Pastaficio seems like the ultimate crap shoot. The things that are good are excellent and the things that are not are terrible. I've ordered from here probably 5-6 times now and eaten in and it's always a 50/50 on whether a dish is good or bad. For the stars the filled pastas are consistently excellent, pesto is great, the amatriciana is delicious (tad salty), and the taglietelle al ragu is decent. The bigoli with rabbit ragu is flavorless and the lasagna is AWFUL, completely mushy and lacking any discernable flavors and that had the benefit of being eaten in restaurant.

Absolutely delicious! I am very picky with Italian food and have never found a mushroom lasagna that comes close to the one my mom makes. The truffle mushroom lasagna here comes very close! The tagliatelle ragu was also delicious. Pasta perfectly cooked al dente. The Figo gelato and sorbets were the best gelato I've had. Focaccia was interesting-- very doughy-- different than most. Good! Served with an excellent olive oil. Finally, a place I'm excited to return to.

So good! Got the tagliatelle ragu and the spinach raviolis with sage and butter sauce and they made it there, hot and fast. Ate it on a bench outside, COVID-style. The ragu is hearty and sumptuous, and the raviolis are sweet and savory, so creamy and delectable. Will be coming back here to try their gnocchi, pomodoro sauce, and pesto sauce. 5 stars!!!!

Excellent fresh pastas and preparations. BYOB an added attraction. Very helpful. attentive and considerate service. Cos Cob location limited but cozy seating.

Il Pastaficio is a true treat, existing fairly inconspicuously in Cos Cob CT. With just a few tables crammed together in front of the checkout counter, it's ALMOST too crowded, but the atmosphere more than compensates. We ordered the house-made Foccacia Bread ($3.50) and the Proscuitto di Parma a Burrata ($22) to start, which seems to have been pulled right from the basement, where they cut the Proscuitto as well. Both were some of the freshest products we've ever had at an Italian restaurant. The burrata, perfectly creamy and moist upon slicing into it was a perfect accompaniment to the focaccia, which by itself, was actually a TAD oversalted, but it was hard to find fault with. Within moments of finishing, our waitress actually asked us if we were ready for our pasta, and after replying in the affirmative, she walked back to the kitchen to have them fired! My wife ordered the bigoti with a duck ragu ($22) and I, the fusilli with a fresh pesto sauce ($20). Both pastas were perfectly al dente. My wife's duck ragu sauce was the star of the evening, perfectly salted and with the slight gaminess expected from duck, but balanced perfectly with the rest of the seasoning and the pasta itself. My pesto dish was nearly flawless, with my only complaint being that it was in need of a TINY bit of salt. We finished the meal with a tiramisu ($8). Despite being pre-made earlier in the day and stored in a fridge prior to serving, it was one of the tastiest we'd ever had. I just wish it had multiple layers like a traditional execution of this dessert! Overall, we left thoroughly satisfied and would happily return.

Il Pastificio is great, amazing, outstanding, awesome & addictive! I tried their pasta daily special last week - the one with tomatoes & capers. It reminded me of the food I eat when I travel to Italy. The pasta was perfectly cooked, al dente, and delicious. The sauce was balanced, not too salty, not too heavy, just the correct amount. Other people in my house tried it too & agreed - one was very sneaky and took some off my plate while my back was turned.... it really was that good. No photos because it literally vanished from the plate & we didn't want to let it get cold. Highly recommend!

The fresh pasta is the real deal. The desserts are fabulous too. The ambiance isn't the coziest eating in but the place is very clean. We prefer to take the fresh pasta and make our sauce at home. Be sure to get there early. This place is getting popular and they are apt to sell out! Great parking too!

Incredible, fresh pasta. LOVE their seafood pasta. Wonderful to also buy their pasta and make it at home. Only complaint is their cooked pasta is quite salty. Slightly less salt and it would be perfect!

The first thing that occurred was, I chose the pesto sauce to go with our pasta and the owner ridiculed us for our choice. Wtf? He said that is so run of the mill, or something like that. What does he even care? And maybe we - and my kids - LIKE PESTO and were in the mood for some? Lastly if you're going to verbally judge a customer for their choice of food, then don't offer what you (strangely) think is such an inadequate choice. I'll also say that the prices here are laughably sky high. I guess if you're from out of town and you choose Greenwich to have your business, you assume that the area gives you permission to overprice your ... pasta. Smh

Incredible pasta, fantastic atmosphere, trendy vibe, this place checks all the boxes. Every single thing in the restaurant is specifically designed and chosen with pasta in mind. From the forks to the dishes, it's all centered on maximizing your experience. It's also an unbelievably clean space. Authenticity is the main takeaway. They go straight from making fresh pasta, to cooking your order and back to making fresh pasta. I'd imagine its as close to Italy as you get in America. I had the special which was squid ink linguini with Bottarga. It was exquisite. Of course I also brought home some of their nicely boxed fresh pasta to cook myself. Can't recommend this place highly enough. It's a true experience...

I absolutely love the fresh pasta and sauces at Pastaficio. It is a great place to dine as well - they only have two tables but if you see one open, I highly recommend sitting down and enjoying their pasta fresh and hot! Truly one of my favorite places to eat.

First I got pasta they cooked. No better than major brands dried in a box, and cooked too Al dente for my taste. Then bought a "pound" home to cook myself: no better than dried in a box, but four times the price, not the amount they said it weighed (the dish I made had about 25% less volume than usual) and the price per pound was 25% more than the wrb site said. When I complained to the cashier about the price difference he just said "That's the owner's fault not mine."

Loved everything here. The staff were super nice, refreshing drinks and absolutely delicious food! We ordered three apps as well that didn't disappoint. This is definitely going to be one of our regular spots now!

We went and ordered two specials to go, one the daily special with shrimp and pasta, and the weekly special pasta with beef ragu. When we got home and opened the containers we found that the beef dish had only one small piece of beef with lots of onions. It was very tasty, but where is the "beef" in the beef ragu? The daily special was also tasty, but it too was ridiculously small with literally one piece of shrimp that was cut up in the pasta. I called immediately to express my disappointment, but the owner didn't care; he didn't even say comeback in, or even express anything like "I'm sorry". It's really too bad as we live down the street and would have been great customers.

Pastaficio is like that cliche about the little girl: when things are good here, they are very good indeed. When they're bad, they're very bad. What's excellent? The ravioli is made with the most delicate and tasteful dough I've ever had; and the fillings are (almost) always perfect. Try the truffle & ricotta, the spinach & ricotta, and the wonderful lemon & ricotta. All are excellent. (Cook each for only 2 minutes, not the 3 they recommend; and keep the boil low or they will fall apart.) What else is good? The truffle sauce (in a jar on the shelf) is perfect, though pricey at $55. Pair it with the truffle ravioli and be prepared for a 5 star dinner. What's bad here? I bought 2 pounds of lobster & potato ravioli for Christmas dinner at $35/pound. (An odd pairing I thought, but I figured that they knew what they're doing, right?) So bad I threw them out--all $70 worth into the trash. The lobster was old and had a fishy taste; and I'm a pescatarian and I know my lobster. The Tagliatelle here never cooks past al dente, no matter how long you boil it. I've had much better dried pasta---many, many, many times. I just bought two slices of an almond based desert that was hard as a rock and inedible. That, too, went into the trash. So, it's a bit of buying and learning here. However, the mistakes are hard to swallow and a waste of money. Caveat emptor.

Had the best gnocchi I have ever had and the absolute most fresh and vibrant red sauce. Have not had better pasta anywhere in the area- it's a must try. Also their tiramisu is moist and delicate.

If you want fresh authentic pasta I'd highly recommend this place. Everything I have ordered has been absolutely amazing. I also love all their desserts choices. The staff is super helpful and kind. During the holidays this is also a great place to get gifts. For example, they have high-quality flour, olive oils, and balsamic vinegar. We bought someone the Dolce & Gabbana panettone and the recipients couldn't stop talking about it. If you are looking for a great meal or high-quality Italian cooking ingredients this is the place to go.

Best there house made pasta and there roast beeef so good excellent and st. Joesph dounut type excellcent

This is the gold standard Italian pasta shop that I'll compare most Italian places to. Pasta is made in house and most ingredients including vegetables are flown in from Italy. It's small with only a few tables, and it may get crowded during certain times of day but it's all worth it. Try whatever special is on. Chef's from Parma, everybody who works in the store is real Italian. If you manage to convince them to make fettuccini Alfredo, go for it :-) otherwise they have freshly made pasta on display and match with their available sauces.

Met another couple here and sat a small communal table. The menu is small and has a handful of different options for all different kinds of people. I had the pesto fusili which was really good. Others at the table had the gnocchi and the ravioli Bolognese. Everyone loves their meal and the staff was super friendly and quick. For desert we tried the chocolate salami, Nutella cake and the cannolis. Just like the entrees none of these dissapointing. Mouthwatering pictures features below. Love this place and will definitely be back soon.

Just love Il Pastaficio! I've had all the ravioli which are all great but especially like the short rib. Just take home and combine with butter and sage. Pasta is fresh and enjoyed the ragú with spaghetti. Pasta and raviolis restaurant quality, well worth the price. They do offer dine-in but not much of an atmosphere and very small.

Exceptionally artisanal and delicious traditional pasta by Federico and his 100% Italian team! This is primarily a take away fresh and cooked pasta (with or without prepared gravies), but it also offers an informal eating area (no salads or anything other than the pasta dishes they sell) for those who are grabbing a bite on the go. Simple, minimalist space with an open kitchen so you can see how they prep, cook and keep the place so clean! Chewy al dente bites would leave one speechless, and the sauces are just delicious! Traditional fare and modern concoctions make this place ideal for those wanting good ole home made Italian pasta! We had the ancient grains Gigli with turmeric, basil and pesto which was such a surprise to one's palate as it had modern all over it, which is a nice twist to something traditional! Another dish was the Raviolis with spinach, parmesan and sage - sublime and divine! They really know how to do their pasta! After sampling the food, I just wasn't surprised how their regular customers were repeaters coming back for the delicious pasta! I definitely would return. Over and over again!

This place is so delicious and the people who work here are super friendly, too! I love their tagliatelle bolognese as well as their truffle lasagna dish. They do amazing events as well, like pasta making parties, that will give you an experience to remember as well as filling you full of delicious dishes. So happy to have this place be a part of our local community! Yum!

10/09/2018 I've already visited here so often, but it was first time to eat-in. It's a cozy place for lunch and pasta was delicious of course. Everything is real Italian!!

I had a really great pasta dish here for lunch. You can buy uncooked pasta or they'll make a dish for you to eat there. Very low key atmosphere, more like a small shop that happens to have a few tables.

Stopped in to pick up some fresh pasta for a simple pesto primavera. Got some truly divine tagliatelle. Asked for 2 servings but was given more like 4. No matter, the leftovers were delicious!

Absolutely the best pasta, sauces and authentic desserts in Fairfield county. I feel like I've been transported back to Italy. Definitely worth a try

Maybe it was an off night. Or maybe their sauces are not very good. We ordered extra Ragu and the amount of bolognese was less than I would expect from a normal portion. The dish I ordered the sauce had a ton of grease. We were very disappointed, the reviews were generally very good. The delivery experience was great. Food was tasteless.

My husband and I ordered the quinoa with chickpeas, green and red peppers, corn, cilantro, and a few other ingredients. It was fantastic. We took it with us on a long drive. My husband was eating up the food so fast Iasn't sure there would be any left for me! The service was quick, friendly, and professional. The food was excellent, and it inspired us to try to make our own quinoa this way. My husband described the food as refreshing. It certainly was, and it was also far healthier than many alternatives for road travel.

Not your average restaurant and you have to BYOB....sounds terrible BUT the food was delicious and made fresh and the people were wonderful. It's a straight up fresh made pasta place with different sauces. The Fusilli with pesto was fabulous. My friend had linguine with a walnut sauce. We cleaned out plates. It was easy on the wallet. I was even able to watch them make the pasta! A wonderful experience and a delicious meal!

Better than good. Great quality, friendly people and gentle prices with a great selection of very fresh food. I had the Tagliatelle Ragu and a half a piece of Nutella/Ricotta cheesecake. I'll be going back...probably a lot.

This place mostly focuses on take out fresh pasta but we came for a sit down dinner with our kids. It was spectacular! Pasta dishes were innovative and delicious! So fresh! Friendly staff - two couples recently arrived from Italy trying to make a go of it. Worth supporting them! We'll definitely be back - both for sit down and take out. Btw, it's BYOB - I only wish more places were like that around here.

Beyond delicious and amazing service. I held a small dinner party for my birthday and Federico taught us how to make tagiatelle and ravioli to bring home. It was so fun, and he was so attentive. Dinner was mind blowing: the cheese and charcuterie opening, the fresh salad topped by the tagliatelle al ragu, ricotta parmesan ravioli and sage and butter spinach and ricotta ravioli. The tiramisu was the perfect ending to a truly amazing dinner. I can't wait to go back!

Truly authentic and super fresh Italian as if straight from there. Definitely go if you like the teal thing. I ordered the spinach ravioli, taglatielle ragu and mushroom truffle lasagna for takeout. All excellent. The ragu was great - it's not a saucy pasta like you might expect -- slightly different, more authentic and I thought excellent. Lasagna was terrific. Super friendly people.

All food items I've ever had were very high quality and delicious, even my leftovers days later. Call or go early for best selection of fresh pasta (especially filled like ravioli), even my second choice was great so absolutely no complaints! Service is friendly is and helpful. Have been a few times and will keep going back. A true gem!

This little pasta shop has become my favorite restaurant in Greenwich. Bring your own bottle of wine and enjoy the incredible home cooking of homemade pasta and sauces of this husband and wife team. We love it.
