Pastarella

Really good meal, highly recommend. Prices were incredible. Service was incredible. Lovely decor. The toast was tasty with the cheese, we liked it a lot. Octopus, salad and fried fish were nice, as were the desserts. We never had chance to try more things from the menu, wish we had

An unforgettable dining experience at Pastarella! We had dinner here tonight and it was truly amazing. The food was top-notch—especially the grilled squid, which was fresh, tender, and flavorful. It was perfectly cooked and beautifully presented—easily one of the best seafood dishes I’ve ever had. A big thank you to our waiter, Clyde, who was incredibly kind, professional, and attentive. He took the time to explain the menu, make great recommendations, and make sure we had everything we needed with a smile. His service made the experience even better. I highly recommend this place if you’re in Durrës—come for the food, stay for the view, and leave impressed by the service. We’ll definitely be back!

The view of the boardwalk is superb! The atmosphere is inviting and... The food is delicious. If you're a tourist, note this is a fish-first restaurant that serves fish, with pasta, you won't find many of your "regular" pasta dishes here, but there are some. If you like seafood pasta, this is your spot! 🐟 🥧 The pasta is just the right level of al dente. The sauce was a great consistency and taste! The fish was super fresh. The servers were great. Everyone who came to our table knew at least some English and was very kind answering questions, explaining dishes we hadn't tried before. Two small concerns we had: Food came out at different times for different table members (starters / mains). We'd planned on sharing some dishes to try so this made it a bit awkward. Communicating allergies - they did great, no epi pen required, but it took some work to get there. But for an overall experience, we'd highly recommend it.

Great restaurant on 3rd floor with private elevator from the street. Delicious house red wine, pasta, salad, etc. The view is the best part - open breezy windows to look out at the promenade and sea - reserve for sunset to see pink clouds ☁️ and be sure to dress up a bit!

Even though we arrived before the official opening time (which, by the way, is different on Google than in reality), we were warmly welcomed and seated at probably the best table in the place – with a beautiful view of the sea. We were immediately served water and a small appetizer, and within minutes came the fried seafood – possibly the best I’ve ever had in my life. Truly fantastic flavor, freshness, and preparation. The other two dishes – risotto and black tagliatelle – were also excellent, well-seasoned, and beautifully presented. We’re sending 5 stars to the restaurant and thank the team for a truly pleasant experience. Amazing food, lovely setting, and kind staff – highly recommended!

Very good service and such nice atmosphere. We had a pleasant evening. The food was also very good and tasty. Really enjoyed our dinner here and will probably come back again.

This was a night nice way to end my trip to Durrës. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the service was great. The music in the background was very relaxing and added to the ambience of the restaurant. The restaurant was easier to find the elevator up to the third floor. Unfortunately, no seats were available near the window so I did not get to enjoy the view, but the experience was certainly worth it. I I had the steamed salmon as well as the ravioli with truffle butter. Out of the two I enjoyed the salmon and the most. The truffle butter was not my thing but tasted good regardless. I would encourage that if you are in town and you’d like a nice fancy atmosphere that you can visit this restaurant. I will certainly be back for the salmon in the future.

Very good food and friendly service. High standard of customer care. High quality of the venue itself.
