Pasta Louise Restaurant

Great neighborhood place. One kind of Fresh pasta made everyday. Then you add the type of sauce you want. Great concept. The day we went was rigatini, perfectly cooked to al dente. Meatballs sauce w excellent n sausage n broccoli rabe is also very good. We sat by the bar n service was friendly, attentive n courteous. Will definitely come back.

the pasta was delicious and the drinks were perfect but the focaccia was probably the worst i’ve ever tasted. they also have a really cute pasta mural on the wall i didn’t grab a picture of. they also have a charity dedicated to creating scholarships for children who have lost a parent to cancer and feature a drink on the menu that donates a dollar to that charity. consider going to support xx

So, so, so good. The pasta was incredible, but the ricotta focaccia completely stole the show. Absolute must-order. We had Olivia as our waitress and her attention to detail and spot-on recommendations were impeccable. Highly, highly recommend.

Pasta Louise has been a favorite of mine since they opened in 2020 The lasagna was amazing rich, comforting, and perfectly done I also tried the pasta with mushrooms (I’m a big mushroom fan) but it was a bit too heavy for me personally Still a great spot and one I keep coming back to

Visiting Brooklyn the evening before my half marathon, we stopped by Pasta Louise for dinner. I had booked a reservation for Friday, but as luck would have it, the two of us were seated right away as walk-ins. Quick note on parking: there is free street parking. We managed to parallel park nearby, but others may have to circle around a bit. The ambiance struck me immediately: warm, inviting, and cozy, with more seating than I expected thanks to a neat little outdoor patio. Starters: Our server pointed us to the specials, so we began with the Stracciatella focaccia (seasonal). The bread, layered with melted cheese and herbs, was excellent — quick to arrive, light but flavorful, and frankly a bit addictive. I held back after a couple of pieces, saving room for the real test: pasta. Mains: My dinner partner ordered the Spicy Red Pesto — sun-dried tomatoes, lemon zest, garlic, Calabrian chiles, sunflower seeds. No option to add shrimp, so they took it as-is. I went for the house favorite: Cacio e Pepe — cracked black pepper and salty pecorino — with burrata and arugula added on top. Both dishes looked modest in portion at first, but appearances deceived; they were filling in just the right way. I tried both but, unsurprisingly, preferred my own. The pecorino on the Cacio e Pepe carried the dish: sharp, savory, and absolutely sublime. I couldn't pin down the pasta shape — penne, or something close — but it hardly mattered. Each bite was balanced, deeply flavorful, and worth savoring. For me, this easily places in the top three Italian restaurants I've experienced. I restrained myself a little — half the burrata, a careful share of bread — mindful of the half marathon ahead the next morning. That race went spectacularly; I placed in the top 10. Pasta Louise played no small role in fueling that performance. Verdict: Pasta Louise is a gem of Brooklyn dining. Cozy atmosphere, excellent service, and pasta that borders on transcendent. I'll absolutely return when I'm back in New York, and I recommend it without hesitation to anyone in search of genuinely excellent Italian fare. Last visited: August 22, 2025

What a delicious meal! Pasta Louise may be hated on by the Park Slope community, but the daily pasta shape keeps you on your toes with fresh and flavorful sauces. The staff were incredibly friendly, and the atmosphere is what you’d expect from a place like Louise in park slope: full of children, with good vibes.

First time I ordered was great. Then next two times quality went down to hell hole. Over priced. 2 pasta was 55$? That’s wild. Paid $6 for shrimp on the pasta. You gave me 3 small shrimps ? I can buy a whole bag for $6. Never again. Very disappointed

Homemade delicious pasta. Portion are descent , service was amazing , we got there around 5PM the place was always empty in couple of minutes the restarting was full even a line outside waiting to be seated, will definitely come back

Great fresh pasta with a fun ambience and good service! Food: I came here for dinner on a Sunday and was very excited about it because they make the pasta fresh! My favorite was the whipped ricotta on focaccia bread! It was so flavorful and just melts in your mouth! The sausage and peach ragu pasta was also really incredible! I'd definitely order that again! So flavorful! The pesto pasta was good as well but I got it without the short ribs. Next time I'd just get a different dish! The one call out I will make is everything is very salty! So it did feel like a lot! We tried one of the special tiki drinks they had, which was fun! Service: great service! Our waiter was really friendly and spent a decent amount of time talking through the menu with us Ambience: this seems like a local spot that families go to especially for Sunday dinner! It has a lot of seating Price: reasonably priced especially for portion sizes

What a gem! I came here per a park slope friend's recommendation when I was in the area and it blew me away! I'm a big pasta lover, and was intrigued by Pasta Louise's fresh pasta with a single rotating shape a day. The day we came it was fusilli, which was a bit disappointing since I was hoping for a more fun shape. We ordered the Whipped Ricotta on homemade foccacia to start, and then for mains the Cacio e Pepe and Dad's Famous Red Pepper sauce with no add-ons. I also got Louise's Special Spritz- tasty and refreshing! I liked the strawberry. The whipped ricotta was the clear favorite of the night- perfectly smooth ricotta with fluffy focaccia (one of the best ricotta toasts I've had in the city!) The pasta itself was good- very al dente, but the sauces were both fine, not super flavorful. I preferred the Red Pepper one to the cacio e pepe, but they both could've benefited from add-ins. The interior is super cute, lots of flowers everywhere. Service is friendly and fast. Would 100% come back for the ricotta alone though.

We were able to snag a spot at the bar for 2 people on a busy Saturday afternoon. The atmosphere is so cute and I love that the dining room doors open to the outside. I got the pasta rose spritz to drink and it was lovely but I was expecting it to be a bit sweeter. We ordered a Caesar salad and ragu special to share. The pasta was amazing and both plates were enough food to split (if you are not starving). The check was so reasonable considering the quality of the food and our server/bartender was so kind and attentive. We had a great experience!

Enjoyed our meal here. We sat outside and nice way to spend a beautiful evening. Pasta was fresh and like the flavors and additions on top. The favorite was probably the Spicy Shrimp Pasta. The focaccia bread for apps was a hit too. It was wine Wednesday when we went and didn't know about beforehand, so that worked out well for us. Nice spot in park slope.

Finally tried the newer location. I love the atmosphere and decor of the restaurant. We sat outside and it was a wonderful summer night. The hostess accommodated us as we were ten mins late to the reservation and extended our table seat time, which I believe is 90 mins but they wound up allowing us to go over this allotted time. Server was very abrupt with us but still got us everything we needed. Charcuterie board to start which was typical and fresh. The pasta as always was Al dente, limone sauce perfect for summer. Tiramisu was definitely the star of the meal.

I honestly didn't know avocado toast could taste like this. So light, fresh, and delicious!! I usually never order avocado toast because it's so simple and I feel like I can make it at home, but WOW. Wish I was in town longer to check out the rest of the menu, because everything else looked so yummy too. The shop was so welcoming and friendly , definitely a place I'd want to be a regular at. I also enjoyed the quick order at the front and having the beautiful outdoor seating outside.

Just came here for breakfast! The first thing I noticed is how inviting it is from the outside. On a hot steamy morning in NYC. The invitation of coffee and breakfast with a beautiful awning to boot! Inside does not disappoint. A beautiful quiet and airy atmosphere. The menu is creative and lovely. I chose the avocado toast with an egg and an iced latte and it did not disappoint. The service is friendly and attentive. It's a place where you can be guaranteed a quiet conversation with a friend or partner if you are so inclined but it's also a place where u can feel very comfortable dining alone as plenty of people are quietly working while dining. Overall a great experience I will definitely be back. Only drawback is I was not able to order a side of fresh fruit but I forgot all about that once I tasted my food

I came here on a Sunday evening with my family that was visiting from England. We were a party of 6 and made a reservation ahead of time (which I would recommend). Typically, the English are not easy to please - but everyone was very impressed!! We started with appetizers for the table, although I didn't get pictures of it all, it was all amazing! We had the roasted beets with yogurt, whipped ricotta with fennel oil, burrata with persimmon, and grandma's meatballs. Everything was delicious, but if I were to choose my favorites it would be the whipped ricotta & the meatballs. I'm typically not into beets, but they were amazing! The burrata, wasn't as large as what I'm used to, and I'd probably skip out on it next time. The menu is exquisite- as in, the kind of place where it's hard to make a decision because everything sounds delicious. I went with the spicy shrimp with lobster broth which was so flavorful! That said, I was a bit disappointed it came with 3 shrimp.. in my opinion, 5 is the standard as someone who enjoys protein with pasta on the side, but that's personal. I also tried my bfs lamb sugo which was amazing! All in all, I'd highly recommend from the cozy atmosphere to the delicious food and service, not to mention the cocktails!

This place is a super cute Italian restaurant. The interior is decorated with roses and flowers, makes for an amazing dinner atmosphere. Every night they change the type of pasta that they make, and you get to choose all the different sauces and toppings on it. I really enjoyed it and everything was fantastic - including the service. We finished off with the tiramisu which was phenomenal. I definitely would recommend getting it!

order EARLY if you want to get pasta delivered. the number of times I've hopped online thinking I was safe since there was FULL HOUR left of their delivery window only to be disappointed and hungry because all they're sending out by then is salads and bread. learn from my mistake, do at least an hour and a half out. very yummy sauces, but the burrata doesn't travel great, would not advise as an add on for delivery.

Made a 6:30 reservation on a Wednesday evening and the four of us were seated right away even though we some how accidentally reserved for only two. Fortunately, they were able to quickly accommodate us. The place was rather full (both rooms) and there were lively conversations happening in the brightly lit, clean space. We ordered two salads, four pastas and a dessert to share. Lots of food but we love to have variety and have no issue with taking food home. The service was good and timely. We did not have to ask for anything. The server check on us appropriately. They freshly make one type of pasta every day and give you a selection of sauces to choose from. The offering of the night was bucatini (wide spaghetti with a hole in the middle of the length of the strand). We enjoyed every dish. We were a bit bothered by the two different insects that were on the wall near us that we had no choice but to kill and the two other infects that kept flying around our food. Good toothsome fresh pasta with different flavorful sauces at decent prices and good service at a neighbor restaurant. Would come again if in the mood for pasta and do recommend.

I stopped in spontaneously because it smelled so good as I was walking by and I let my hunger get the best of me. I asked the woman at the register for her recommendation and she did not disappoint! I got the pasta with spicy red pesto sauce and a bread plate with whipped ricotta. The focaccia was good but perhaps a little dry... but I think that's just how focaccia is? With the whipped ricotta it was good though. Not too much of an added flavor from the ricotta, but the moisture of the condiment was nice. I was so hungry I ate half of it before I remembered to take a picture. But anyways the pasta was delicious. A deceptively large potion and with great flavor and spice. The al dente quality of the pasta was delightful! I love a thick noodle. There is no indoor dining so if you want to eat at PL you have to snag one of their few outdoor tables. Your best bet would be to get takeout.

We came here on a Friday night to celebrate my birthday. When we arrived for our reservation, every table was filled and they were clearing a group to prepare our seats. We opted to grab a quick beverage at the bar while we waited. Our server was prompt and friendly. Shortly after ordering our table was ready and we brought our drinks over to our table. First, Pasta Louise is incredibly adorable. The decor is picturesque and the liveliness of the eatery makes it a cheery place to dine. Second, I was impressed by the servers. They all seemed genuinely cheery and pleasant. That makes for a great experience. For food, we ordered the meatballs and olives to start. Followed by the pesto pasta with short rib and the spicy trapanese. We added prosciutto to the pesto pasta and burrata and shrimp to the trapanese. My husbands pesto pasta was delicious. The short rib, so good! On the other hand, my spicy trapanese fell a little short. It was a bit too tart (not sure if it was over salted or too much lemon), but otherwise beautiful dish. My only other gripe was that it was served lukewarm. I'll definitely be back, but will probably try a different preparation. Solid spot, decent food.

Okay, three stars for the pasta but five stars for the ricotta toast and desserts! Incredible creamy ricotta and the strawberry shortcake dessert that's served in a cup and is like a shortcake tiramisu, heavenly. But the fun stops there. Had heard this place was mediocre and the proof is in the pasta. The brisket pasta tasted like it was for a kids menu, with little chunks of brisket, and the cacio e pepe wasn't too memorable. Something about this place screams kiddie place to me and yet it wants to be this homey adult neighborhood hang. Come for the desserts and drinks and you'll love every bite.

Delicious food. A little bit pricey but definitely worth to go. The servers are very friendly and knowledgeable with the menu. The restaurant is located in park slope placed on a great location in the neighborhood. From the outside it looks like a local restaurant integrated into the neighborhood for years. Definitely a great place to go all year round.

This is a lovely restaurant in Park slope. The interior and decor is so cute, it made me reminiscent of my trip to Italy. Staff is nice and attentive. My husband and I really enjoyed our pasta. Has a cozy and romantic ambiance.

Amazing meal and a really fun time. Great recommendations from our server Emily. Would love to come back to try their new seasonal menus

Delicious! I had a hard time deciding what to order. They seem like such simple pasta dishes but the flavors are excellent and the portions surprisingly large. You can tell the place is made with love. There's pasta themed wallpaper, vines creeping out of every corner, and an attached store selling pasta and sauces to cook at home. Can't wait to go again.

Been here multiple times now and it's delicious every time! Great specials and delicious pasta. The focaccia sampler is a must!! Highly recommend as a good, consistent pasta spot.

Very overpriced and poor service both times I went. (They charge for bread... at a pasta restaurant.) The servers seem ornery and annoyed. The first time our food took 45 minutes and we were told it was because of the lasagna. This time, we ordered the lasagna when we ordered appetizers to avoid this problem, and they brought the lasagna out in between courses. My wife ate her lasagna alone while the rest of us waited for our pastas. Silly things like this seem to always happen at this place. I've had to find my server more than once for things like another drink or the check. Anyway, two times was enough for me. Don't waste your night and money here.

A solid, kid-friendly restaurant in Park Slope. The pastas are hand-made, I believe. The quality is good. Pricey for the portion size, but you're paying for quality not quantity I guess. The short rib pesto was very good. Servers are very kind and patient. I've only been there for lunch but it's nice that the place gets a good amount of natural light.

Wonderful and speedy experience! Absolutely loved my lunch here. We were craving pasta in Park Slope and I plucked this place at random when I googled pasta on Google maps. It's such a beautiful place and the pasta satisfied our cravings. I definitely recommend getting their mint coffee and grandmas meatballs. So filling and delicious! I was also surprised by how large and spacious the Resturant was. I would 100% come again with an empty stomach, ready to finish my plate!

One of our favorite pasta spots in the neighborhood! Cozy and homey yet modern decor! Love the fact that they have one pasta shape a day and you can choose from a bunch of different sauces and add ons! For appetizers, the meatballs are a must! For mains, dads famous red pepper sauce is our go-to especially with the whipped ricotta on top! We also love the Cacio e Pepe with crispy prosciutto! Highly recommend the banana bread with ice cream and caramel! This place is a must visit!

Wow! What an incredible place. My wife and I took my dad out and each of us were thrilled at the product. The idea is simple, they have a pasta of the day and you select the sauce. The one with the mushrooms was incredible. We were all jealous of my dad for ordering it. The faster with a vodka sauce was also perfect. Even the olives were really good. Worth the extra price. We'll be back again soon.

AMAZING In New York these days is hard to find a place that has it all, good food , good environment and GREAT TEAM MEMBERS. From the moment we walked in we felt in love the decor was very clean fresh and inviting. Our server Micaela was amazing and greeted us with a really warm smile and personality . Food wise what an experience. The pasta special was extremely fresh as well the lasagna, drink were really good as well as the dessert. Thank you Beth and Micaela for making our Sunday amazing . Cant wait to go back. FYI the prices are way too low for the quality of the food.

This is very cute restaurant in Parkslope Brooklyn I truly had a pleasant time. I started off with a lovely rainbow Heirloom carrots with candied pepitas the sweetness was perfect. My main dish was delish the tomatoes sauce was chunky full of tomato's seasoned simply perfect. The Cesar salad was yummy the dressing was fantastic.

The food was heaven. The ambiance is framed photos of the staff's grandmothers, oak and easy conversation. The server for our engagement party was Sydney. She has class and was perfectly attentive and thoughtful for our party of 10 and made sure everyone was happy with all of their choices. Thank you!

I am so glad I came here for my anniversary, what a wonderful low key yet, beautiful Brooklyn location. My brother and his wife have raved about this place for some time. My brother and the owners are friends. He has often shared the pan -darn-it, origin stoop pasta sale success story that eventually evolved into opening both the restaurant, and cafe. What a beautiful engine that could story. I am so glad my hubster & I decided to celebrate our anniversary at Pasta Louise. The decor is simply beautiful, very reminiscent of Euro restaurants/cafes especially those in Paris with open air doors. The lighting is beautiful, and cozy. It is a charming place. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. The service is amazing, the staff is awesome! Now the food is absolutely delicious! I had the lasagna oh my, oh my sooooo good! I added bread crumbs & burrata myyyyyyy the levels of deliciousness, you must definitely try for yourself. My husband had a delicious pasta with whipped ricotta and breadcrumbs. I can not remember the name of the sauce but, it was absolutely delicious also, for dessert we had the banana bread with gelato and caramel sauce, sooo good. Oh we also had the bread and olive oil super delish as well! Price point is average. Perfect for date night, a small celebratory dinner, or a small family dinner/friend gathering. Please go support this amazing establishment. I am looking forward to returning and trying other dishes. However, after having the lasagna, I don't know if I want to try anything else. It was just that amazing!!!!

This is an adorable pasta oriented restaurant on a cute corner of Park Slope. Reservations seemed necessary as others were told they would have a decent wait without. Tables are close but no Al close which is nice and there's a ninety minute limit on seating. The fresh pasta can be paired with several sauces and additional protein or add on were available. One pasta shape is made each day. Everything pictured was very good. The slow roasted tomato sauce was kind to my sensitive stomach as it wasn't acidic at all. I tasted the Cacio Pepe and the added hot prosciutto was perfect on top. We finished with banana bread and Brian both served with gelato. A nice ending to a lovely dinner. Prices are totally reasonable.

My sister and I love doing food tours to check out the area since we're newbies. She was adamant about going to Pasta Louise and I'm glad we ended up going. The restaurant opened in July 2020 and specializes in fresh pasta. They make EVERYTHING from scratch (bread, pasta, sauces, etc.) Pasta Louise also has a cafe a couple blocks up the street that I believe you can pick up pasta kits and order takeout (don't quote me on this). When we arrived it was about 4:15ish... they let us know that the dinner service (pasta) wouldn't start until 5 pm. We were fine with that and decided to sit down for some apps. As we walked through the restaurant it was very bright and beautiful. In the middle room of the restaurant, there is a beautiful wall of flowers that look like you are in someone's garden (def good if you're celebrating a birthday and want photos for insta). We were sat towards the front of the restaurant where they left the door open to let the perfect breeze in. Our waitress was so friendly, cool and knowledgeable. If we didn't have a reservation right after this place and didn't need to rush I could definitely find myself kicking it with this girl... she made you feel like you were a longtime friend and guest at her house. Now, to what we order. We ordered the Louise's Special Spritz and the Pompelmo Spritz. I liked the special one better. We also got their meatballs and whipped ricotta. Everything was good, but wasn't amazing. And unfortunately all we could do was appetizers. I'm looking forward to coming back so I can try the pasta!!

Not too fancy. Not too trendy. It's great for a casual night out. We had 6pm reservations and were seated immediately. The restaurant didn't start filling up until around 6:30pm or so and there were a mix of families, dates, groups, and friends catching up. The vibes were relaxing and our server was friendly and peppy. They have a daily pasta shape and it was the gemelli this evening. To start, we ordered the Caesar salad and the ricotta toast with fennel oil. The caesar salad was a typical caesar - fresh and crisp with a slight tang. The ricotta toast was very nice. The ricotta was light and airy with an almost cream cheese taste to it. For mains, we got the cacio e pepe with the recommended spicy, crispy prosciutto and lasagna. The pastas were well made and cooked to a nice consistency. The cacio e pepe on its own was on the saltier side so the added proscuitto was probably unnecessary. It was very creamy and cozy. Just salty. The lasagna was also good and the layers melted into each other with each bite. One caveat is dessert - we asked for a brownie to go and it was the worst brownie I've ever had in my life! Dry and chalky with barely any flavor. It was neither fudgy nor would I call it a brownie! Semi-glad we ate it later as it would've ruined what was a lovely meal.

Our waiter was Syd and we had the BEST service! Such a bright welcoming personality and was super attentive. Had very helpful recommendations and made our dining experience and my partner's birthday so lovely! Thanks for an awesome time Syd! Food and service was incredible and we will definitely be coming back!

Great food! There was a new server being trained, which slows everything down, but we seemed to be legitimately flatly ignored for long stretches of time. We'll probably go back, but the aloof service may determine for us next time that we will make another choice next time. TOO many other options in the foodie mecca of Brooklyn.

They slay every time I get takeout here without fail. Ultimate delicious comforting meal!!

Cacio e Pepe was so salty and oily it was inedible. So I didn't eat it. Nobody bothered to ask if something was wrong or offer to help, the waiter didn't check in or anything, the bus boy just eventually, unceremoniously took a virtually untouched dish away. Deserts seemed like they were pre-made. Not sure what all the hype is about, bad food, so/so service and no effort to recognize they were disappointing much less make it right.

Daily different shape pasta and this day we had a rosy shaped noodle it was great texture and cooked just right. The appetizer was fun : the burrata and persimmon lil salad was cute. But thats all, the focaccia was lowkey dry and the crispy chickpeas wantt to b wasabi peas but too hard and not crisp-airy enough sorry! The pasta sauces tomato was bad and the crispy prosciutto was more jerky and my friend reacted bad to it. It was missing something yet it was salty. The same with the shrimp broccoli dish, it was so zesty and citrusy it deleted all other flavor. I felt like i was drinking straight lime juice. My mocktails were great tho! Love the grandma porch and my friend's spritz were doing it right! Cacio e pepe was the most normal plate for us, it felt right and peppery, but would be nice with some red peppers. Anyway these are my personal thoughts and perspective on it thanks for reading.

This was second visit to Pasta Louise and it will not be the last! The food continues to impress, the service is fantastic, and the restaurant's ambiiance is comfortable abd inviting. But let's get back to the food. Each day, a different homemade shape is created; a gluten-free option is available. The restaurant is tree-nut and peanut free so no worries for those folks (like my child). Each meal I've had or tasted was better than the previous, so everything is delicious. The desserts are also great and it was hard to find room after the appetizer and entrée! Very highly recommended!

01/22/23; Have you've ever been at an establishment and feel like you're home? That's the feel when you enter Pasta Louise, you're seated and your server comes over. The vibe and ambiance is so welcoming and soothing. The decor is exquisite and although you don't know the other patrons it just feels like the family is all gathered for Sunday dinner. Their premise is unique. They have a pasta of the day prepared by the chef and you choose your sauce and accompaniment. Starters Charcuterie Board Caesar Salad Whipped Ricotta with fennel oil I think todays pasta was Campanella For my sauce I chose Dad's Famous Red Pepper sauce added shrimp and prosciutto with extra crushed pepper. This sauce is similar to like a penne vodka sauce. It was very yummy. For me it needed a little something more to give it that umph and put it over the top. But I honestly enjoyed and had no regrets. Side bar: writing this review and having my left overs. Wow it tastes even better. My friend had the roasted tomato sauce with burrata and shrimp. This is his second time and he was was in heaven. To quote him something about this pasta and sauce speaks to my soul. I tasted it was good but I'm not a fan of tomato sauce. In support of My friend's dry January no alcohol was had. However he raves and loves their lemonade. Last minute we decided on dessert . So glad we did. It didn't seem like much but that brownie with ice cream and caramel sauce that first bite. An absolute delight! It was the perfect size for the three of us to share. All in all if you are in the neighborhood definitely stop in and have a meal with my new family.

A NYC local highly recommended this spot so it was a must try. I went on a Saturday around lunch and was excited to get a bowl of pasta (like everyone else in this world). The tables were full and we didn't have a resy so we got seated at the bar. I got to try 3 different dishes. All were ok and slightly overwhelming and I felt like the prices were steep for the size. While I enjoyed it, because it's hard to not enjoy a bowl of pasta, I wouldn't come back nor would I recommend it to someone visiting.

Such a warm charming atmosphere and fantastic Italian fare in the heart of Park Slope , Brooklyn . Everyday a different pasta shape is offered with a variety of different sauces. A cozy wonderful dinner & yes romantic . I had a lemon artichoke pasta that was excellent & kale / pomegranate salad to start . Excellent service , waitress was a doll .

Delicious! Our drinks, bread, and pasta were all great... then came the dessert! Wow! Amazing! Strawberry shortcake with strawberries cut in top in the shape of a rose, and lemon crème brûlée!

So I left my carb-loving heart in NYC at Pasta Louise, but I'm pretty sure I'll be heading back! Order: Italian Seashore - I tried to recreate this at home but it'll never be the same. This was SO GOOD - sort of like a sun dried tomato puttanesca with seafood. Dad's Red Pepper Sauce - the smoked paprika makes this. Very unique and so good with the spicy prosciutto. Duck Confit Cheese Sauce - Get it with the arugula - it is VERY rich so the bitterness of the leafy greens is a must Orange Blossom Panna Cotta - this dessert was ok. This wasn't my favorite but still good. Banana Bread a la mode - pretty good dessert and the portion was very shareable. Pasta Rose Spritz - lovely bubbly drink Pros: Love the decor, lush florals with romantic lights. The pasta is clearly fresh, deliciously al dente and the sauces are unique. Portions are very reasonable for sharing. 3 adults sampled 3 pasta dishes and caesar salad to share. Desserts are also very shareable in size. Service was friendly and warm. Price is reasonable for quality of the food - those flavor combos were amazing. Cons: Pretty loud and not a lot of space, but it's NYC so not a shocker.

Food and service was both okay. There were different kind of flies on the wall and kept flying around us as I was dining with my boyfriend. I do like the idea that they have different pasta specials every day!

What a fantastic restaurant! I love the concept with the pasta shape and the different sauces. I got the spicy red pepper sauce with the add on of the shrimp and whipped ricotta. It's a must. The staff was lovely and we'll be back!

The concept of the restaurant choosing the shape of pasta you eat for the day is a cool idea but I will say this place is a bit overhyped in my opinion. The meatball appetizer was definitely really small to split for even 2 people. However, the meatballs and the bread did taste amazing. While the pasta was definitely fresh, the flavor to me wasn't 100% amazing in the dish overall. It may have been the breadcrumbs honestly which I felt gave a type of lemony flavor which I didn't care for that much so maybe skip the breadcrumbs. The brisket dish was also decent but it tasted like typical ny brisket (not smoked) so lacking a little bit for that extra flavor. The portion size was perfect as I didn't feel super gross after pasta for once. This place is a little pricey for pasta but it's expected in the area it's in. The service was good. I probably wouldn't go out of my way to come back here but it was a good experience.

Ordered the cacio e pepe with spicy prosciutto for takeout. Mixed it well and thought it was quite good. The sauce itself was quite creamy albeit a bit too salty. tartiglioni pasta catches the creamy sauce. The cubed spicy proscuitto paired with the cream and cheese well. Portion size looked sort of small but ended up being really filling.

Made a reservation for two people about three weeks out - definitely recommend doing that, because it was packed. I tried: + Pina e pepe cocktail + Ginger lion cocktail + Whipped ricotta with fennel oil + Summer tomato salad + Cacio e pepe + Spicy Sicilian pesto The pasta was actually a letdown, though the cocktails and ricotta were great. Each night, all of the pastas are the same shape (they rotate every night), but with different sauce. So maybe the large batching makes it easier on the kitchen, but the pasta came off as merely decent. I really wanted to love it but they missed the mark. Just not worth the hype. 3.5 stars.

Want to love this cute neighborhood spot--pastas solid, comforting. Not crazy pricey, $16-$25 per dish, fun HH deals, added shrimp to my dish. Let's play where's Waldo. Can you find the shrimp? Even my server couldn't. $6 supplement for 3 shrimp, come on guys. Wanna give em another chance, winter pasta bod is not letting up any time soon

Perfect neighborhood spot for a casual date night. Reservations are not that difficult to come by and there are some tables reserved for walk-ins but be aware that this place tends to get very popular, no matter what the day -- and for good reason! Our server was very friendly and helped make recommendations for fam favorites and menu items less traveled. We started with the roasted beets with yogurt and the focaccia with whipped ricotta. We love nets and this was no exception. Very sweet roasted beets and tangy yogurt was delightful. The whipped ricotta toast was, in contrast, much more subtle. For our pasta dish, we selected the pesto with braised short ribs to accompany the daily pasta shape, topped with Calabrian chilies. The pasta held the sauce very nicely and there was a nice balance between the sauce, spice, and short rib. Don't expect a heaping serving of short rib, by the way. Not pictured was our dessert which was the tiramisu and affogato -- perfect ending to a satisfactory meal.
