PASTEAKO

Very mediocre, came cause heard they served unlimited handmade paste so was excited to try a couple or different flavors. The portion were huge however the pasta didn’t live up to its hype. The sauce was bland and even the ones which came with the steak itself were just mediocre. Pasta itself was alright but inconsistent, some were al dente whiles others were overcooked and mushy. Steak itself wasn’t expecting much, however the steaks weren’t even cooked properly. We asked for medium rare and the one was cooked medium whiles our other steak half of it was cooked medium and another part was almost rare. Didn’t taste any aged flavor in the steak. Services was also off not sure if cause they were under staffed. But for example some of the utensil were dirty, ordered got mixed up or either missed. We asked what each pasta sauce was on the menu and seems they couldn’t even explain to us properly. They didn’t have the wine we ordered but didn’t inform us until we asked. The knife was blunt. We asked to skip dessert but they still served it to us. Asked for the bill several times but only after half an hour later and asking 4th time did it came. Overall good gimmick but the execution was poor. Pro is you’ll be full from the meal and tables are pretty spaced out.

The portions for both the steak and pasta are quite large. Honestly, even just the set meal is more than enough to fill you up. The knife selection feels more like a gimmick, it is actually quite hard to cut with, and you end up tearing the food instead. The pasta seasoning is strong, which I personally enjoyed, but the texture is a bit tough and might be a disadvantage for those with sensitive stomachs. Occasionally, you will hear a bell ring, and the waiter will bring around a plate of random pasta to share with customers. The seasoning and type of pasta vary each time, and the texture is noticeably better than the pasta served with the set meal. The tiramisu portion is small but tastes good, with a strong milky flavor and very little alcoholic taste. In general, considering the price and quality, I would rate it as just average.

Booked dinner for Valentine’s Day celebration , is understandable to have a more pricey dinner set but the experience is totally disappointing . First of all the environment is so crowded that you can only barely fit in between tables, too close to the other table making it not very enjoyable . Also , given that obviously more customer in the restaurant than usua, there is too limited staff here . You need to wait at least 10 mins for staff available to get you in , or taking orders. Making mistakes is not a surprise in such cases . They even gave our bills to the other table when they are leaving .The food quality is definitely disappointing . The starter according to the picture post by the restaurant, there is a t least 3 prawns , however , my whole plate is just some raw, not sure is carrot or what and 1 prawn hidden in those veggies, which is not that delicious . The steak is a bit greasy , pasta is ok . Free flow sirloin is better than the rib eye steak I ordered , less greasy and in small slices perhaps are the reason . Not a good choice choosing it to dine in in Valentine’s Day , and $588 per person with poor service , not up to standard food and non enjoyable environment is definitely unacceptable , pretty sure they didint even providing their normal quality of service and food that day !

Had an amazing meal at Pasteako! The pasta here is incredibly flavorful - I went with the pesto and it was so rich and satisfying, clearly made with quality ingredients. The steak was cooked to perfection, and their homemade mustard was a standout touch that really elevated the dish. The service was very good as well - the staff are attentive and caring, which made the whole dining experience even better. You can tell they put care into every element, both in the kitchen and front of house. Highly recommend if you're looking for great pasta and well-executed mains!

This is such a unique experience, you get to choose your own knife, like from a gutting knife to a hunting knife for your steak. It’s also unli-pasta but it’s at random. So, you’ll be surprised with the mystery pasta you get 💚 The Quattro Formaggi was good and so is the truffle pasta. But, the best is their tiramisu cake 🍰, it was heaven. The service was also good, especially Kenneth & Casper, they were very accommodating.

I recently visited a fantastic restaurant that offered a delightful experience. The sirloin steak was incredibly tender and flavorful—definitely one of the best I’ve had! Additionally, the variety of pasta dishes available was impressive, catering to different tastes and preferences. The atmosphere of the restaurant was warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot for a cozy meal. The service was also exceptional; the staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring that our dining experience was smooth and enjoyable. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for delicious food and a pleasant dining experience!

It took me a while to decide whether I should write this review. I normally write the review when I have a great experience but this time is the opposite. I visited this restaurant with my family for the dinner on Xmas Eve. We only able to get the booking at the 5:30pm round and we arrived there on time and 3 of us got a very nice corner table. We placed the orders with drink and look forward to enjoy the steak for the night. We were waiting over 30mins but nothing was served except one round of the free flow spicy pasta. Staffs walked past my table many times but no one realised that our food didn’t arrive. 40mins has gone and still nothing serve for our table and not even have one staff to notice that we had no food on our empty table. End up I have to walk over to the cashier counter to talk to a senior staff and asked what is going on for the orders for my table? Then 5 mins later 3 glasses of prosecco was served by a waiter (I guessed is a part time staff) to our table which I told him we didn’t order the drink and later I was told it was on the house and I thought it is the way of apologies from the house. Still, no senior staff approached us. 10mins later our steaks and pasta finally served but it was a total surprise to us. 2 dishes out of 3 the steaks are raw! I have no choice to ask to return it, without looking at it, the reply from the staff is: this is medium-raw. Excuse me! there were no staff to ask me how well we would love for our steaks? By then my heart already sink to the bottom, this is not right for my night to dine at here. After our same piece of meat returned on our table, it was nearly an hour late after we’ve been seated. We were very hungry and already wasted too much energy and time to deal with things to done in the right way to them. These are not the highlight of that dinner, after main course arrived, I then realised that the starter, the carpaccio salad didn’t even serve either, I have to ask the server to come to our table again, really OMG! The entire dining experience at here was a total disaster! I have never ever had an experience like this, don’t even mention this happened on the Xmas eve, totally ruined my night for the celebration…. At last I have told by the staff there are some adjustments on our bill but I wasn’t paying much attention for that coz my mood has dropped to the lowest level. Last, I just wanted to say I can accept service may happened some issues over the busy period but I didn’t receive any official or sincere apologies that leave me a very unpleasant experience with this restaurant. New year eve is just round the corner, I just wished my bad experience won’t be repeated on anyone who are going to dine at here. PS. The 1 star on the service is for the part time staffs who served us the free flow pasta.

Walked into @pasteako in Central after Pici was full all night — convenient for walk-in, with a lively atmosphere, but sadly not worth a revisit. The $388 set (ribeye, unlimited handmade pasta & tiramisu) looked promising, yet execution fell short overall. 𝙈𝙖𝙞𝙣 𝘾𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙨𝙚 ▪️Ribeye (Medium) | fire control off, meat dry and slightly chewy, seasoning leaned too salty. 𝙋𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙖 𝙎𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 ▪️Unlimited Handmade Pasta | refills 3–4 rounds, but texture inconsistent and one variety completely bland. The truffle tagliatelle stood out: aromatic, creamy, and excellent sauce cling. 𝘿𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙩 ▪️Tiramisu | smooth, lightly laced with liqueur, balanced sweetness, and deep coffee fragrance. Easily the highlight of the night. Set Menu $388 𝘳𝘦𝘷𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘵? no… 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘭𝘭: 5.5/10 (for the tiramisu) _______________ 📍PASTEAKO HG01–HG05, Block B, PMQ, 35 Aberdeen Street, Central
