"Northern Italian cuisine is front and center at this Margate restaurant. Don’t be fooled by its small strip mall façade — the flavors are big. Back to its Northern Italian flair, opt for exotic stuffed pasta, meaning it may be filled here with scallops, rabbit, wild boar, or you name it." - Jesse Scott

If you dream of spending an evening in the heart of Europe, then Pasta and is the perfect place. From the moment you step inside, this restaurant immerses you in the atmosphere of true Italy. The authentic Italian staff, warm welcome, and cozy interior make you feel as if you’ve arrived in Piedmont. The star of the establishment is Chef Luigi, who cooks in the style of Northern Italy, capturing the flavors and traditions of the region. The menu is well-thought-out and authentic, and the staff knows it inside out. They describe each dish or drink as if they had just prepared and tasted it themselves. The wine list deserves special attention. I have currently taken a three-month break from drinking alcohol, but just looking at the wine selection at Pasta and, it’s clear that the choices are truly exceptional. The prices, of course, are steep, especially for my favorite wine, Sassicaia. But I will definitely be back for a glass of outstanding wine in May. There is an excellent selection of drinks to suit any gastronomic preference. The two dining rooms allow you to choose the atmosphere to match your mood—whether for an intimate dinner or a more lively evening with company. Pasta and is a place you’ll want to return to again and again to experience the true taste of Italy. P/s Be sure to pay special attention to the last page of the menu featuring truffles – it’s a true gastronomic delight. The truffle dishes here are simply exceptional, but it’s especially important to visit during the season when the aroma and flavor of these precious fungi are at their peak. Chef Luigi is incredibly generous with truffles, adding them lavishly to the dishes, and for that, he deserves special thanks. This is one of those rare places where every dish becomes a true culinary masterpiece.

What a hidden jam! And when I say hidden jam I mean it. Not where you would expect a high end with amazing food to be. The osso bucco amazing and the pasta do die for! The staff also very nice with an Italian sarcastic fun vibe! They have a gluten free pasta option that tastes amazing!

Absolutely delicious, excellent service, true Italian. Fresh made pasta, they focus on game and pasta, and both are delicious. Ordered the rabbit and the duck ravioli and both were delicious. Cocktails were unique and delicious

As a New Yorker married to a first-generation Italian, we know real Italian food—my wife makes it at home, and we eat it all the time. We also own a deli, vineyard and animal farm upstate NY, so we appreciate quality and authenticity. This restaurant blew us away. It’s owned and managed by Italians, the waitstaff is Italian, and the food is absolutely incredible—fresh, flavorful, and truly authentic. The service was warm and attentive, just like you’d expect in a family-run spot back in Italy. Easily one of the best Italian dining experiences we’ve had outside of our own kitchen!

To say this place is incredible is an understatement, you MUST come here. I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough. From the service to the quality of the food, five star reviews all around. We were impressed with every dish, really. The pistachio tiramisu I am still dreaming about!!! Do yourself a favor and come here!!! Trust me, you won’t regret it

From the attentive staff to the prompt delivery of our orders, everything was executed flawlessly.

Pasta And… exceeds all the hype you’ve heard over the years [and then some]. Recent renovations have transformed this space to create a high-end NYC experience, morphing it’s unassuming shopping plaza location into a true culinary experience. While the food speaks for itself and has for many years, the new ambiance only assists in enhancing the experience to a new level. What began as a modest pasta shop is now one of South Florida’s premier destinations for exceptional Italian cuisine. The cocktail program is equally impressive; we sipped on Butter Washed Old Fashioneds which were extraordinary — and then came the Espresso Old Fashioneds which were absolutely perfect. Book your reservation now and don’t wait for a special occasion.

My favorite Italian food restaurant of south Florida for several years. It's always a pleasure to bring friends and family there to discover what great food, wine, and service they provide consistently. Grazie sempre, Gian Marco!

I cannot say enough good things about this dinner. I will be thinking of it until I can come back. This was the hands down best Italian food I have had in south Florida. Possibly my top 2 favorite meal ever. While the name always threw me for a loop when I heard people recommend it, and honestly I was maybe being a bit of a snob about the location, I am forever changed and beyond a fan. Service was incredible! Food was insane! And overall it was an amazing experience all around. The restaurant is very cute and cozy and a great spot for a date night or intimate night with friends.

This restaurants represents an authentic "walk" through Italy. By far, the restaurant that better represents Italian traditions and quality in South Florida. Cozy and elegant environment, great wine selection, amazing menu, welcoming and skilled staff. I definitely recommend it to anyone who visits this area and to any Italian who wants to taste again traditional Italian flavors.

What a delightful surprise! This is truly a hidden gem in the realm of Italian cuisine. Our friends recommended this place, and from the moment we stepped in, we knew we were in for a treat. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, setting the stage for a memorable dining experience. We were greeted warmly by the staff, and our server Kush instantly made us feel at home. I opted for the Pappardelle al Sugo di Cinghiale, and every bite was a burst of flavor. The pasta was perfectly cooked, and the wild boar ragu was rich and savory. My wife went for the Ravioli di Porcini alla Crema Tartufata. The earthy flavors of the porcini mushrooms combined with the creamy truffle sauce created a heavenly dish. But what truly elevated our dining experience was Kush's exceptional service. Not only was he knowledgeable about the menu, but his wine pairing suggestions were spot on. He guided us through the selection process with patience and expertise, enhancing our meal with perfectly. Overall, "Pasta and" exceeded our expectations in every aspect. From the delectable dishes to the impeccable service, this restaurant has certainly earned its place as one of our favorites. If you're looking for authentic Italian cuisine look no further than "Pasta and." We'll definitely be returning soon!

Took my boyfriend who is a diehard Italian here for his birthday and he absolutely loved it! We got the beef carpaccio w truffle to start and I got the mushroom risotto with truffles all over it. I'm a truffle fanatic and it did not disappoint, it's perfectly salted!! You can tell the staff has a good relationship with one another which is extremely important to build a great culture to deliver a great experience to the customers!

We were introduced to this charming spot by some good friends, arriving with a party of four. The outdoor seating is adorable, and upon entering, we found cozy and intimate seating spread across all three sections of the restaurant. The latest addition, unveiled last December, boasts a full liquor bar and seating. The service was flawless, with Kush as our knowledgeable and friendly server. Throughout our meal, multiple staff members, including one of the owners, stopped by our table, each demonstrating exceptional hospitality and expertise. The food was incredibly delicious, and we savored every bite, especially the enticing specials. Here are the dishes we enjoyed: - Carpaccio di Carne e Tartufo Nero: Beef carpaccio with pecorino romano and black truffle. A fresh and generous portion, easily deserving a 10/10. - Gnocchi Romana ai Quattro Formaggi: Roman-style gnocchi in a four-cheese sauce. This dish, perfect for sharing, received a perfect score for its taste and generous servings. - Tagliere di Affettati Misti con Burrata: Assorted cured meats with Burrata cheese. Each item on this platter was incredibly fresh, with crisp arugula and delectable meats earning it a perfect score. - Ravioli di Porcini alla Crema Tartufata: Porcini mushroom ravioli in a creamy Winter Black Truffle sauce. Each heavenly bite of this dish, adorned with generous shavings of truffle, earned it a perfect score. Six solid pieces of ravioli, but four were more than enough for me. For dessert, we indulged in hazelnut cake and fresh gelato. Can't wait to come back. What a great place for a date night!

Still marvelous from start to finish. They have expanded since the last time we dined here. Service still spot on. Thank you Sam, Kush and Nico. You will not find a more authentic northern Italian restaurant in South Florida.

Through a turn of events, my husband and I ended up here the night after our wedding. It was the BEST experience. We were conflicted on our food choices, and the waiter gave us recommendations to have a full experience from one region of Italy. Our appetizer and both of our entrees were from that region. We ordered cocktails instead of wine (which were delicious), but the waiter had a pairing for both of our dishes if we wanted it. And incredible experience from start to finish! The food was delicious.

This place screams fine dining!! The ambiance, the service, the authenticity of this resteraunt really was immaculate! They start you off with a variety of fresh breads with oil. Our waiter was SUPER helpful because the menu was intimating as i do not eat authentic italian food often. We ordered an appetizer - Polenta al Ragu' di Salsiccia e Funghi. It was incredible 10/10 recommend!! Entrees we ordered were the Ravioli di Pera e Taleggio al Cacio e Pepe $33Pear and Taleggio cheese Ravioli - Pecorino Romano & Black Pepper Sauce and Ravioli di Cinghiale al Burro e Timo $32 Wild boar Ravioli - Butter and Thyme sauce. Both were amazing 10/10 the flavor and freshness of these dishes were like nothing ive ever had before! The wine we had was a red wine called nobile di montepulciano; expensive but well worth it to have a nice wine with your meal! All in all, this place was amazing. Reservations are highly recommend!

Immaculate service! The waitstaff was amazing. Continuous check ups, great recommendations by our server and the chef came out to say hello. I was a bit tipped off at the beginning of our dining experience when we walked in. I was wearing a jacket since it was chilly out for me since I was 9 months pregnant and didn't really show, they said the only seats available are outside. I saw a few tables inside but I didn't want to make a scene since we brought a friend along. My boyfriend and friend order a bottle of red wine. They poured them a small tasting first to make sure it's something they enjoyed. I loved the sausage risotto! The server did warn me that it's more on the salter side. It was amazing. I'd like to try the wild mushroom next time. The truffle ravioli was OUT OF THIS WORLD!!

We have been here several times. The food and service are exceptional. I usually order the Ravioli di Pera, but went for the Porcini mushroom Risotto with Black Truffles tonight. It was incredible. My husband ordered the Veal Chop and it was also delicious. For a wonderful dining experience, I highly recommend and can not wait to return.

My husband and I have been here twice. Reservations are a must! It's a very small upscale restaurant in an unsuspecting strip mall sitting next to a 7-11 and a Papa Johns. This is the best Italian food I've ever had in south Florida. Service is excellent and all the staff are very attentive. For appetizers we had the gnocchi. For the entres we had the lasagna, bolognese, and mushroom ravioli. For dessert we had the homemade tiramisu. Delicious food and slightly pricey but very well worth the money.

Mike M.

Yelp
Went here for the first time and it's a fantastic authentic northern Italian restaurant. The chef came over and greeted us in between the appetizer and entrees telling us about ingredients and how the pasta is made fresh. Every dish was more delicious than the other and the tiramisu at the end was a nice end to a great meal. The pear ravioli was our favorite and the beef carpaccio was also a great starter. Will definitely return and highly recommend everyone try.

Pasta And... I've been before, and remembered it for the great pasta and authenticity. I couldn't wait to go back. But sometimes memories are better left right there. Now, don't get me wrong, I enjoyed my meal, but the ravioli was slightly undercooked, just shy of al dente. The cacio e pepe "sauce" was, well, I'll just say, not like it was in Italy. The seafood in my partner's dish was just okay, although the squid ink pasta was amazing! The burrata was outstanding, and the gnocchi was as well. Our friends had the black truffle on fettuccine, about which she raved, and he enjoyed the boar Ragu. The service was great, our waiter spoke with a great accent and had a wonderful demeanor. While I won't run back, I will be back.

What a great authentic Italian restaurant. Even the staff were all authentic Italians with very nice accents, which didn't hurt haha. The restaurant is a bit small, and when empty you can hear a pin drop, so I would recommend trying to make a later reservation so you're not the first couple people there. As for the food, everything was 10/10, so delicious. My table was fighting over who ordered the best food. They specialize in game, truffle, and mushrooms and their pasta is handmade in house. They even have a private room in the back for parties and the most beautiful patio set up which secludes you from the rest of the ugly parking lot.

Authentic and delicious Italian food! Everything we had was amazing and delicious! Our waiter was detailed in describing the menu and super funny. The restaurant is small, cozy and quaint. I highly recommend this restaurant especially if you want authentic northern Italian cuisine!

Service and food were both great. I can't believe I used to live in front of this spot for years and never considered it. Don't let the location fool you. This is def one of the better, more authentic and finer Italian restaurants in south Florida. I look forward to returning and trying more of their menu. Everything I ordered that night, including the Ferro Rocher gelato was amazing!

Former Yelp Eliter, and still huge foodie. One word to describe our experience - M'eh. Much of the Parkland and Boca community was ranting about this place, and coming from a food enclave in Washington, D.C. we were assured this would measure up to the best. The place is tucked away in a small strip mall off a main road and decorated with empty crate boxes. Pass on sitting outside - the cars driving by are fairly loud. Inside the decor is great and inviting, decent job on vibing out. Overall, no complaints or major things that stuck out - really slightly at or above average for the cuisine. We ordered the ossobuco, cacio e pepe, a glass of reasonably priced wine, and a small app. The major complaint is what is being provided is substantially overpriced given the location and what's being served. Our bill after tax and tip was $160 and honestly, you can duplicate the menu at or higher quality for $100-$125 around the area. (Search for any northern italian places on yelp). As a warning, if you get a loud table next to you- it is deafening. Not sure the solution here, but it was bad. We unfortunately got stuck not only next to a loud table but one that was effectively yelling and screaming, which was even more amplified by the poor acoustics. The exec chef and manager didn't seem to care and participated with them - although you could see the discomfort in several tables. Wait staff was great and attentive overall. I was hoping for some creativity, to be blown away, and or just really leave impressed - nothing. Pretty standard, expensive, fare. Wife echoed sentiments. Glad we tried, won't be back.

I first found out about Pasta And... from the famous foodie group- LESF. I went with a few girls for my birthday and let me tell you, it did not disappoint. The service, ambiance, and quality of food were all top notched. I tried truffle pasta for the first time and I was in love. 2 months later I brought my husband to this place and the second time is as good as the first time! I got their linguine allo scoglio and pasta e fagioli (highly recommended!!!). For dessert I got pistachio gelato. Everything were amazing! Will definitely return. Be sure to make a reservation before heading over there.

Love this place! The pasta is so fresh and they have great specials. Highly recommend the burrata with smoked salmon and the lemon crab risotto if they have it.

Italian as authentic as it's going to be in Florida! One of my friends has been raving about this place for years and we finally got the chance to go after work. It's located in a plaza with parking right in front. When I turned in I thought that there were a lot of cars in the parking lot because it's located right next to papa johns but as I walked up to the restaurant I realized that it was full because the restaurant was full on a Tuesday night. Luckily we had reservations. We were greeted right away and given the choice of outside or inside. I opted for inside because it was rainy but the outside area is really nice as well. The inside of the restaurant is decorated with wine everywhere ( even in the bathroom haha ). Our waiter came over right away and he spoke Italian Spanish and English and was also a sommelier. He gave us the specials of the day and took our order. I got the pear ravioli and it did not disappoint. It was mildly sweet. The pasta was cooked we perfectly Al dente and the sauce didn't overpower the ravioli. It was by far our favorite dish. My friend ordered the fish and scallop filled ravioli which were also good but I liked mine more. We didn't get an appetizer so we were still a little hungry after so we shared the bolognese. This was my second favorite. The pasta shape was perfect to absorbe the sauce which was delicious!! For dessert we went for the Ferrero roche gelato! Wow! I was impressed by the little bits of hazelnut in the ice cream it was the perfect way to end the meal. If you are craving authentic Italian this is your spot!

Seriously, have traveled the globe and had Italian food everywhere and this place is absolutely extraordinary. Service is impeccable. I left this establishment speechless. The food is nothing like I've ever had. Father and son owned. The chef came out, walked around and spoke to everyone completely amazing.

Sophie L.

Yelp
I mean the food is okay, but super expensive and very small portions. And the staff was pretty rude. We asked for a side of sauce as the raviolis we ordered (which were supposed to come with sauce) were really dry and cold and the waiter started screaming at my family and I asking why would we need sauce and this is how they make it. Well, probably time for a new recipe then. We weren't the only people that experienced this as a lady at the table next to us asked for pepper as they don't put pepper on the table and the waiter screamed across the the entire restaurant "what's the problem?" Here's the thing, when you're charging $30 for half a cup of pasta, if you're customer wants pepper or a side of sauce, I'm not sure what possesses you to give them a hard time about it. Just get them what they want!!!

Was in Florida visiting family who frequently eat here. A great experience. The food was superb. Excellent service. Luigi and his crew bring you the very best in authentic Northern Italian cuisine. The wine list is world class and the waiter takes the time to explain each bottle presented that go with the meal. All the pastas are home made. I had the cannelloni stuffed with veal in an amazing cream sauce. For dessert was a home made gelato (chocolate and pistachio) that will knock your socks off. I shall return. Highly recommend!

We have dined here a few times and we love it! The homemade pasta doesn't disappoint and we love the romantic vibe of the restaurant. The restaurant is family owned, from Northern Italy, and is about as authentic as you can get. The four cheese gnocchi appetizer is a must. My favorite is the Diavoletti - spicy and delicious ravioli. My husband likes the bolognese or the osso bucco. Be sure to check out their specials too. You will need a reservation to get in here-they are full every night! It is well worth the visit. You will be back for more, for sure!

I had heard all the rave about Pasta And... from friends, so when planning our annual Girls Pasta Night, we couldn't have thought of a better place to go. Since inside is such an intimate dining space, we were encouraged to make reservations as we were a party of 5. When we arrived, we were sat right away and about 3 tables were already occupied with big groups. In about 8-10 minutes, every table was full. We started out with some appetizers to share and the in-house sommelier/host sought out our tastes in red wine and brought out a bottle (our first) which was fantastic. We shared the salmon burrata and octopus. Both were great, but my favorite out of the two was the salmon burrata...buttery, salty, delicious. Both were big enough to share for the 5 of us. After, we each got our own entrees and after trying a little bit of everyone's dish, we all came to the same consensus - there was nothing we didn't like. I had the beef ravioli, and I wish I remembered the names of my girlfriends' dishes because they were excellent. For dessert, we shared the straciatella mousse and berries on a cloud (which was a special that evening)...deeelicious. I highly recommend this quaint family biz, there are only good things to say about it. From the impeccable service to the amazing food and delectable desserts, I see this going on the rotation.

Went back with my group of friends at Pasta And... The food was excellent and the service was excellent, there was always two to three servers around our table asking if everything was to our liking. I ordered the special on the menu, linguini with octopus and cherry tomatoes in a white wine sauce, delicious! Here are a few pictures of our plates, Osso Bucco, veal Milanese... We enjoyed our dinner and we will surely go back there!

Great food, great service and 4 star ambiance. Soooooo expensive though.. There are better places where you're not so cramped and outside by a busy highway.

My absolute FAVORITE Italian restaurant (seriously, have not found anything better than Pasta And)!! I've been coming here for about 8.5 years (anywhere from several times a week, to once a month, now to every couple months when I am home to visit); the quality, consistency, and authenticity of the food, along with the spectacular service has never wavered. You would never think to randomly stop at this little hole-in-the-wall restaurant as you drive by, as it's in a small shopping center in Margate, next to a Papa John's and 7-11. But the inside is cozy, beautiful, classy, and upscale; you will be pleasantly surprised. The service is always top notch- they are attentive and friendly, make great suggestions (for both food and wine), and really make you feel part of the family (whether you've been there twice or fifty times). Chef Luigi will always come around to see how your dinner was, and his son GianMarco will always greet you and check in on you as well! Their menu is based on northern Italian dishes (Piedmont region), all the pasta is made from scratch daily, and they source a lot of their ingredients from local shops (like their bread). Although I have tried several dishes throughout the years that I have loved (their seasonal white truffle menu is exquisite), my favorite appetizers are the burrata with prosciutto and the gnocchi alla romana. The gnocchi alla romana is hands-down my favorite Italian dish (sometimes I just order a few of them to have as my main meal). The texture of the 4 cheese gnocchi is spongey and soft, not dense, and melts in your mouth. The sauce over them is peppery, thick, and rich in flavor. ORDER THESE, they do not disappoint!!!!! My favorite main dish is always the ravioli; both the pear (and cheese) and the porcini mushroom (and black truffle sauce) dishes are mouth-watering. The pasta is always cooked to a perfect al dente, the stuffing to pasta ratio is just right, and they are always seasoned perfectly. For wine lovers- they have an extensive list of wines and a sommelier to point you in the right direction. The shot of limoncello on the way out is always a great way to end the night. Amazing experience and even more amazing food! Note- Pasta And is busy most nights of the week so make sure you make a reservation! Also, they are not open on Mondays!!

Hidden Gem Alert!! Wow just wow...from the outstanding service, to the complementary delicious bread, to the authentic Italian cuisine, this restaurant has it all. How we ended up in this restaurant is a coincidence, a great one for sure, it was yesterday, Sunday, on father's day, it was late at night to have to make a reservation and we had just left a friends house, so i did a quick search and Pronto! When we arrived of course it was going to be full, but kindly they offered us a table outside, i don't really like outside seating with this heat, but i have to say they make you feel very welcome and attentive so it wasn't that bad. Let's get to the food...they have a great menu, not a very long one, with a good selection of fresh pasta, risotto, soup, salad, containing unique dishes that you don't regularly see in other Italian restaurants in south Florida. We ordered a 4 cheese pasta for my daughter, gnocchi pesto Genovese and pansotti di grouper, and let me tell you... if you close your eyes your taste buds will take you right to the Amalfi coast, they all were literally of the best Italian dishes I've had outside of Italy. The only reason why im not giving them a 5 solid star is because we were so full i didn't get the chance to try the some dessert (or had appetizers to start). So that said we will definitely be back some other time soon.

This is but far the most authentic Italian restaurant I have ever been. The whole experience was amazing. Food with so much flavor I can't even describe in words. Was recommended by someone I meet at another restaurant and I will always recommend them for an amazing meal and experience. Thank you for an evening my wife and I will never forget.

Top shelf all the way. Great wine and high end Italian meals in an upscale environment. Meant for foodies. But great for special occasions too. Service is excellent. Very busy so best to have a resy.

This is Much deserved. The best quality Italian food I have ever had. I was concerned that they didn't have salt and pepper on the tables but after the polenta appetizer came out I realized the chef understands his job. Luigi came out with wine for us. The risotto is perfectly seasoned and you can actually see saffron threads throughout. It is so hard to find Italian food that actually uses fresh seafood in their risotto bc it's so tempting for places to mask the flavor of frozen bagged seafood to cut corners. Not a single corner was cut here. Bomb wine. Fresh ingredients and quality seafood and meats. I don't really like osso bucco but this chef made me eat the whole plate. I need to go back. I have to go back. I'm dying to try their ravioli. Man, if you haven't been here make that reservation via email if you like Italian food. It's small inside so we sat outside. I was proud of my date pick after I came here absolutely zero regrets. Thank you Luigi and staff.

Had to try, heard good things so we did. A group of 8 of us went on a Saturday night early seating. For a small, out of the way restaurant it was surprisingly good! Pricey yes, but if you are looking for better then mediocre try Pasta And! We started with broiled Scallops with sweet potato purée. Delish!! I ordered the Australian Lamb Chops, medium. I requested a different sauce, I am not partial to Truffle sauce. The Chef accommodated my request and offered a Red Wine reduction. That was more my style. Unfortunately, the lamb chop was well done. The Chef said that it was considered medium although it was not pink. They offered a different dish which I then ordered the Branzini. Never had Branzini, I am usually a Salmon girl but I am now a Branzini girl too! It was so good with capers and a light butter sauce with grilled vegetables! I do not know why I did not take pictures, I was probably to busy eating and enjoying the wonderful wine and ambiance! If you like wine, and know wine, their selections are all Italian and abundant!

Being a New Yorker I'm a bit "fussy" when it comes to eating out. Pasta And was recommended to me by my hair stylist and we were very "excited" to try it out. Not very impressed however!! The maitre'd did his very best to "woo us" but at the end of the day he fell short. Not sure I'll go back with those prices and the small portions of food they offer :( I will say that the waiters could not have been nicer! They were the very best part of our entire dining experience. If I were to get a call from the Pasta And manager or owner I would def share a few tips with them on how I think they can improve their service.

You might want to skip dinner and just order all of the appetizers. We had four of them & would have ordered all, but were saving room for dinner. We had a party of six and really looked forward to pasta, but couldn't resist the Osso Bucho and the roasted pork special of the day. We also had seafood risotto, gnocchi, and a ravioli dish. Outstanding! Can't say enough of how professional, friendly and helpful the waiters were. We had a perfect evening.

This is a jewel. Tucked away in a nondescript strip mall. You would never find this without knowing about it. Recently enlarged, enables you to book reservations less than a month in advance! Inside the motif is wooden wine boxes, everywhere. Some strictly decorative, others full of wine, including being stacked in the men's room! The new addition has an all glass wine room and bar. All very tasteful and feeling like a first class restaurant. Service feels very European. Waiters all similarly attired, not sure if there were waitresses. Bread and herbed oil delivered quickly, butter on request. Menu is limited, but covers all the Northern classics. For appetizers, we ordered salads, calamari, sausage and peppers. All beautifully prepared and very delicious, on the small size. In fact, the main plates were also a bit smaller than we're used to in South Florida. For main courses we ordered lasagna, Bronzino and zuppa di pesce. All beautifully prepared and delicious. We had dessert, cappuccino and one glass of wine. No complaints there either. This is a special night out, not to be rushed to make a movie or get back for the Saturday night show. The prices aren't to be sneezed at, it ain't cheap to eat well! Pasta and... is a wonderful asset to have in Margate/Coconut Creek, may it thrive and keep expanding.

Beautiful atmosphere for a special occasion or date night. Our server was very kind and explained the menu to us, he answered all of our questions and gave us clear explanations of the dish which was extremely helpful when looking at a fancier menu. I was worried that we would still be hungry after the ravioli but we were surprisingly satisfied. It was the perfect amount of food for us and the ravioli had a generous amount of filling which was the highlight of the night. We tried the mushroom and pear ravioli, the pear was slightly sweet and very tasty and the mushroom was amazing as well.

Really good Italian food. Pasta was great. They have many other dishes I saw passing by me I will try next times I eat there.

One of the best italian restaurants in South Florida. Most of the other do not come even close. Its in a strip mall with a 7 eleven but dont let that turn you off. Reservations strongly recommended as people were being turned away without one. We started with the vitello tonato and it was delicious. Then the osso buco milanese and ravioli cacio e pepe. Both dishes were phenomenal. The tiramisu is also one of the best we have had

This place is the definition of a fine dining experience! From the minute we got there, the service was impeccable and the attention to detail really made us feel as though we were in a restaurant in New York. The food was INCREDIBLE! We ordered the scallops to start and I ordered the truffle ravioli while my husband ordered the lobster ravioli. They were all delicious, the kind of food where you want to just take a second to savor all of the different flavors because they are so delicious. This was truly a culinary experience, not just a quick dinner out. We later had a drink in the bar adjacent to the restaurant where we spent some time talking to the bartender and some of the staff. Everyone was so nice and friendly, shaking our hands as we left and really making us feel like family. The hospitality in this restaurant is some of the best I've had. I do believe this is the best restaurant in all of Broward and will definitely be coming back !

We just had another 5 star meal at Pasta and, which included the truffle polenta. I will dream about it until I can return again. The new additions to the outdoor patio are lovely and I can't wait for the expansion, since it gets harder and harder to get a table!

I was here a couple of weeks ago was the first time in many years the owner Chef came out to say hello which was very nice the restaurant is decorated very nicely now I'm sure all the food is very good however I didn't really like what I ordered but that's my fault it's Italian but they also have a lot of game dishes which is something I would not tend to order or try but that's just me no bar just a wine or probably beer. My husband had the asobuco which was very good but he would have preferred chicken parm and when he asked about it the waiter who was nice but kind of laughed at my husband saying oh we don't have that kind of stuff here go down to a pizza place for that which my husband did not appreciate. I asked if I could have shrimp scampi and he said if it's not on the menu now really shrimp linguine butter and garlic could have been made easily. Whatever it's a nice restaurant but I don't think I'll be going back anytime soon.
