Pastaria

"The brainchild of St. Louis chef Gerard Craft, Pastaria serves some seriously delightful carbs from its lofty shop in the OneC1ty complex. Watch as dishes like cacio e pepe, tubular egg-based garganelli, pistachio ravioli, and wood-fired Neapolitan-style pizzas slide out fresh from chef Evelynn Hadsell’s open kitchen. Look out for the grab-and-go gelato counter by the door — a nice touch for a post-pasta sweet treat." - Ellen Fort, Jackie Gutierrez-Jones

"Pastaria, Gerard Craft's casual Italian import by way of St. Louis, landed in Nashville in 2017, bringing with it some top-tier pizza and lively vibes. The restaurant’s open kitchen shows off a big wood-burning oven, which turns out Neapolitan-style pies featuring toppings from house-made pepperoni to spicy ’nduja meatballs to jalapeño, pineapple, and house-made Canadian bacon on the Pastaria Hawaiian pie." - Jackie Gutierrez-Jones, Eater Staff

"For an Italian twist on early evening cocktails, Pastaria delivers with select apps, pies, and pasta priced under $20. Kids can also get a piece of the action with all children’s menu items priced at $10. On the drink menu: $8 glasses of house wine and draft prosecco, $11 Old Fashioneds and Aperol spritzes, and $4 draft beer. Happy hour runs Sunday through Thursday from 5 to 6 p.m." - Jackie Gutierrez-Jones, Eater Staff

"Brunch will officially be on the table at Gerard Craft’s Pastaria starting this upcoming Saturday." - Matt Rogers

"Pastaria owner and James Beard award-winning chef Gerard Craft is setting up a St. Louis/Nashville exchange program with a new pop-up series called Gateway-Music City Crossover Pizza Takeovers. Special menus will include salads, appetizers, pizzas, and gelatos, and will be available from 5 to 10 p.m. at both locations." - Matt Rogers
