    Walking up to the restaurant, it is absolutely beautiful with florals all over the building exterior. There's outdoor seating and indoor seating where you can watch the chefs do their cooking right in front of you. It took the hostess a little bit to notice that we were standing in front. Now to the food... we ordered carpaccio de salmone, spaghetti with clams and Maltagliati Salsiccia which has house made Iberian sausage which was recommended by our waiter. We waited for quite some time before anything came out. Not sure what took so long since our reservation was at 5:30pm and it wasn't packed house. The appetizer carpaccio came first and boy was it salty. When I say salty I mean salty af. We took 2 bites each to be exact and left the rest. It came w a side of fresh, still warm chips. I have never ordered a carpaccio where it was too salty. But doesn't it say something when customers don't finish the app and don't ask for takeout box to leave with it? The waiter actually asked us how the food was and I specifically mentioned that it's way too salty and he just brushed it off. Lol we barely touched the plate. The clam spaghetti was pretty standard. The Iberian sausage pasta was not good with the type of cheese they put on top bc it became cold and hard to break off within less than 15 mins. The pasta ended up being hard as well. Only thing good abt this spot is the aesthetics.

    A pasta bar was a nice experience. I took my mother there for her birthday. I must say everything was fresh, which was very enjoyable. The price is a little on the more expensive side so you'll be paying $30 for a plate with no meat on it, but that's the average amount for their plates. Have I had better yes but if you like restaurants for their popularity and the NYC sex and the city aesthetic look, this is the place for you. The Drinks are good. The service was good. The best part that I like about eating here was their Caesar salad delicious everything was crisp and fresh. Otherwise, I think an influencer came and made this place popular to be honest.No shade!

    TONNARELLI cacio e pepe

    This was a fun spot for a group dinner. Dress in layers as this time of year it gets super toasty inside from the kitchen and the heat. We started off with a. Few drinks and the meatballs. So tender and delicious. I ordered the cacio e pepe and it was delicious and the perfect portion. It was also easy to split our bill and the service was exceptional.

    WOW...this pasta is another level! My husband took me here for lunch and I LOVED it! Such a different experience to sit by the bar and see how they make your dish. We decided to share the tagliatelle al Tartufo the pipe rigate alla norma. The tagliatelle might be pricier but it was worth every penny. The amount of truffle they serve is so generous. The pasta with eggplant was also delicious. The pasta is cooked to perfection and the quantities are big. All the chefs and servers were great, very attentive and friendly. The restaurant is clean and elegant.

    Decided to try this spot after visiting a pop up. Food was good. I didn't like the sauce with the bread which was $7. I thought it was complimentary but it's fine. Food was good. The nonalcoholic drink was good but very small for not having alcohol in it. $14. Love the cook in front of you. Service was good but wasn't a fan of the auto 22%. I felt awkward changing it to 20%. So I didn't. Other than that the ambiance was cool

    Soho, you've been holding out on me. ​I swung by A Pasta Bar (330 W Broadway) yesterday and let's just say, my standards for a weeknight dinner have been officially ruined. ​I was rolling solo, so I didn't want to get too wild, but then I saw Radiatori Al Tartufo Nero on the menu. Translation: Parmesan cheese fondue and enough shaved summer black truffle to make a grown man emotional. ​The pasta was fresh, the sauce was richer than my wildest dreams, and the whole thing was a straight 10/10. I'm not saying I'd marry a bowl of pasta, but we're definitely dating now. ​The Play-by-Play: ​Main Event: Radiatori Al Tartufo Nero. If you like truffles, this is your Roman Empire. ​The Closer: Finished with an authentic Cannoli Siciliani. No notes. Perfect crunch. ​The Vibe: High-energy and cool. I grabbed a table, but looking at the counter action, that's the place to be next time. ​Service: Attentive and gracious without being overbearing. They get it. ​Seriously, if you're in NYC and you haven't hit this spot yet, what are you even doing? I'm already planning the comeback tour.

    Carpaccio salmon
    Rebecca E.

    We walked in without a reservation and as mostly gluten free, I was concerned about what I would order. My daughter and I split the carpaccio salmon and asparagus and the food was fantastic. It was much better than I expected. The prices were high but I think normal for the area. The portions were also satisfactory which I also wasn't expecting. Overall a great place to go for dinner and also loved the bar with the kitchen in the middle.

    Great prices for a tasting menu. Service was prompt, Didn't have reservations but was seated by chefs table. Food & drinks delicious, truffle pasta was my favorite however desserts were underwhelming.

    It smells really good here and it is always busy but the pasta is just okay in my opinion. Nothing spectacular. Perhaps I didn't get the right thing but the service was great. I sat outside with my pup and the ice server even brought some water out for my dog. So sweet!

    I have been wanting to come to this place for the longest I've spoken to friends and others about it and couldn't wait to take my fiancè here for date night. I found parking right in front and was sure to make a reservation prior so that we wouldn't have any problems jic they were busy. We sat at the bar which to me is the best seats to have. It was intimate and beautiful setting watching them make every dish. There is a small bar on the other side of the bar that is shared with the kitchen area, I couldn't wait to get started. To begin we started with an espresso martini and an unknown caller which is a spicy martini they were both good. For appetizer we ordered the truffle pizza which I must say is worth every single penny, It was an eye catching moment when they started grating the truffle on the pizza everyone around the bar couldn't help but watch the massive amount that was shredded on top. As far as taste goes it was fantastic looked as amazing by as it tasted we both enjoyed it such a good way to start off. For our second drink we ordered a White Russian and an espresso martini which we both enjoyed also I do have to say the White Russian was so delicious. Now to the entrees we chose the Mezzi Rigatoni Al Ragu bolognese which he did enjoy he said it had good flavor but also did wish he had more, the Tagliatelle All'Astice lobster pasta which I thought was good I did want to trade out the pasta however we were unable to so I stuck with it I do think the pasta was harder than my liking so I did not enjoy it as much as I would have liked. Lastly the Tonnarelli Cacio E Pepe which we both thought was mid we could have done without it, there was nothing special about this dish. For Dessert we had the Homemade Tiramisu which was his favorite he enjoyed it! This was the perfect way to end dinner. We had an amazing time here enjoying the view and one another's company I would say it was an experience. Unfortunately this was my last night with the love of my life he passed away the next day and this will forever my last memory of us together.

    Norma and tomato paccheri
    Adi M.

    Came here a few times over the past few years, and previously loved it. This time, i don't know if they changed their chef or just had a bad day, but it was WAY off from what I remembered. We started with a salmon carpaccio, which if you're Italian, you know doesn't go with cheese but it came with a hefty amount of Parmesan (and not even the real stuff, it was pregrated, dry, tasted like Kraft). I tried to be optimistic because my cousins were there and I didn't want them to feel disappointed. They ordered the tasting menu and were satisfied with 3 out of the 5 dishes they received. I ordered a pasta alla Norma, the sauce was no where to be found, the pomodoro served tableside (it was not tableside it just came in a pot and they removed the top? Also was supposed to be with parmaggiano, again they just sprinkled Kraft on top? And it was way undercooked more than al dente. AND there were maybe 8 pieces of paccheri in the dish? Overall not happy with that one). And my brother got thee raviolo al uovo, which when I had it the first time it was a delectable dish paired with white truffles, it was rich and creamy and didn't make you feel heavy. My brothers I took one bite of it and it felt like premade Alfredo sauce not at all the same what I remembered. I will say that we did enjoy the bread and taralli with ricotta for starters. The atmosphere was also cool but I don't think I'd return again. Each time I'm slightly more disappointed.

    Chefs salad

    We came here on a Friday night to celebrate a special occasion. This place is decently popular so I would recommend having a reservation rather than attempting to walk in. The restaurant is very soho trendy, with music playing and nice decor. The chefs counter allows you to fully view the kitchen working and dishing out pastas. We started with the chefs salad, which was so good! It was shaved cucumber over avocado, and while it was unconventional it was so delicious. We also ordered the cacio e Pepe and the raviolo with an egg yolk and truffle. The cacio e Pepe was a favorite for us, and it was fun watching them make it. Next time I would like to try the seafood option since it looked and smelled great. For dessert we had their pistachio gelato. It was fine but nothing special. Overall, I really enjoyed my time but likely will not be going back. The prices were high even by NYC standards and I know I can get better plates of pasta elsewhere. I'm glad I tried it for a special occasion, it was worth going once!

    Isabel L.

    Very cute space overall. The servers were also very friendly. I had the Cacio e Pepe - unfortunately, the noodles were extremely al dente and were honestly pretty hard to chew. While I do appreciate that it's fresh, handmade pasta, I think it could be cooked longer so that I'm not eating hard pasta. I did like that the as it was thick and clung onto the noodles well. I know NYC is expensive, but I feel like this place is especially overpriced. Considering this is handmade pasta, I don't think the price matched the quality and taste of the food.

    Are you going to the Joyce for a wonderful evening of dance ?…read more Do you prefer a location close by ? Is inexpensive Italian food a preferred choice ? If you answered "yes" to all three, then Fumo is a place to seriously consider. The restaurant is bright and comfortable. The service is fast and attentive. The menu has lots of excellent choices. The portions are generous. The prices are very reasonable. There you go ! Fumo is for you, (at least the Chelsea location) is for you. Any drawbacks ? youi ask.....well, yes, there is one, and it should be cosnidered. The restaurant is so so so popular that the noise level can be a bit ..... shall we say "daunting." Fumo is a great place but if you want a soft, quiet place to have a serious conversation, maybe save it for another time....

    The experience was very disappointing. The menu labels many items as gluten free, but I was told…read morethere's cross contamination. This means those dishes aren't truly gluten free for people with celiac disease or anyone who has to avoid gluten. When I pointed that out to my server, he just gave me a blank stare. I tried to explain why labeling those items as gluten free is misleading, but he seemed completely disinterested, even annoyed, dismissed what I was saying, and simply responded that the pasta is gluten free. I acknowledged that the server doesn't write the menu, but absolutely zero customer service skills. The service overall was lacking. Aside from taking our order, no one checked on us or came back to see if we needed anything. Our server was just hanging out chatting up the hostess. We had to request the bill from the manager & paid at the hostess stand. Before paying, I spoke with the manager and explained what had occured. He was more professional than the server, but he was still dismissive of my concerns and of the service we received. Management seemed happy enough to promote the "option". The food was okay, definitely not enough to make up for the poor service and handling of a serious dietary issue. Needless to say I will not be returning.

Water and excellent bread arrived immediately and the waiter was helpful describing dishes and giving advice. Salads were fresh and crisp.

Seafood dishes had large amounts of fresh seafood and the veal picatta had the lemony flavor you expect without excessive acidity. Dessert was tasty and innovative. The ricotta based cheese cake wasn't as smooth as the cream cheese form but the citrus flavor was great.

It works especially well for a mixed group since they have plenty of options including dishes without meat and everyone can find something. Even my picky niece and nephew were happy. My favorite entree is the Capellini Puttanesca, with capers, olives, basil, and anchovies. It's super tasty, satisfying, and the perfect portion. I also love that they offer wine by the glass and the service is consistently attentive. The waiters are always moving through the room, checking tables, refilling water, and making sure people have what they need. It's good, reliable, and near Broadway. NOTES/TIPS: **Reservations recommended via Google, Open Table; wheelchair accessible; clean bathrooms.
