I called Bucatini, and they were able to accommodate us about 20 minutes later with no problem. The restaurant wasn't very busy when we arrived, and the ambience is modern and beautiful. The food was very good, and overall the service was fine, but I felt like it was missing a little warmth. Maybe it's just personal preference, but when I think of Italian restaurants, I think of hospitality that feels genuine, warm, and from the heart ~ almost like you've been transported to Italy. Here, the service felt a little more standoffish and had more of that classic New York vibe. One small interaction also stood out. We initially ordered the focaccia, but within a minute changed our minds after realizing the whipped ricotta with tomatoes also came with bread. When we asked our server (older gentleman) to remove the focaccia, he responded that he "had already put the order in" and seemed reluctant to change it. Having worked in restaurants myself, I know that modifying or voiding an item right after it's entered usually isn't a huge ordeal, so the interaction felt a little unnecessary and put me off. Other than that, the food was good and the restaurant itself is lovely. New York City has so many restaurants serving excellent food that, for me, exceptional hospitality is what really separates one place from another. With a little more warmth in the service, this easily could have been a 5-star experience.

Management was very accommodating on various levels - no need to describe the details as it's not relevant for an average review. know before you go - you literally have no other cheese but to have cheese in your pasta. Note that this is not a place for lactose intolerant kinds. I thought the concept was fresh pasta (which it is) but their ultimate menu items must include that cheese wheel. So fine. I figured they can at least give a non-cheese dish but rules are the rules. The place was packed on a weekend early evening. Lines were not forming (like it showed in the viral videos) but they were cooking up quite a bit at the front, because of carry out orders. Either way, on all angles - literally pretty much everything is ALL good and very positive. However, the one thing that needs to be addressed is that wheel made of cheese. Whoever created that chunk of a wheel, kudos to them/company. By golly - that gargantuan of a wheel was so filled with calories - I kid you not, it almost converted me to being lactose intolerant! So if you're about to have triple bypass the next day, I do not recommend this joint until you're fully healed. Yes, the flavors were good, but the cheesey elements were just too too rich. You also cannot tell them to lessen it, it's just set the way they cook the pasta within that barrel. Otherwise, the decor/ambience was nice, and tidy aspects really show through. Customer service was wonderful. Support your local businesses!

Im just salivating just thinking about Forma Pasta. The prices are great and it's such a cute spot. You order at the front and self seat and clean plates yourself. Bread is great and so is the salad.

The only thing I would say that wasn't worth was the Spaghetti. There's no meat or anything but is the same price as the other ones and it's feels smaller.

I liked the texture of the pasta, and the pesto layers of Parmesan, walnuts, and basil were there. My friend's gnocchi wasn't satisfying for her, and I was able to see why. The gnocchi was more doughy than al dente while slightly chewy. It felt like biting into a potato mochi. Just way too chewy, borderline mushy. It's not a texture you would expect with gnocchi. We tore up the focaccia bread and burrata salad appetizer, though. The server also provided us complimentary tiramisu after we honestly pointed out we weren't charged the right bill, which was half our original amount.

Was also thoughtful in handing us our orders correctly which was nice. For the food itself I heard good things and was hoping to love it more-- but I think I was slightly disappointed. The flavors aren't so bad overall and if you have a pasta itch it'll scratch. But I've tried other places better at a similar or even cheaper price point with protein added in. I got the "some like it hot" while my friend got "midnight desire" with burrata added in. I paid about 22 for each dish. Now for my thoughts - flavor for "some like it hot" was not bad, sauce was a slight bit watery for my liking. The spice was nice and I liked that part the most. Pasta was "OK". The ravioli was stuck together for some, filling was adequate but, I would've liked a little more. I don't want to sound harsh, but it was all around just an ok spot. Maybe it was just that day. Burrata added is nice, I took mine to go do sadly it was melted on top (recommend to pack the burrata separately for to go orders) - "midnight desire" is basically vodka and the flavor for this one was kind of odd for me. Not the normal vodka I am used to. I personally wouldn't really get it again. It wasn't a bad sauce, just not like vodka I know. Had a slight "bitter(?)" aftertaste from some seasoning I guess. I'm not a pasta connoisseur but I AM Italian and I've tasted a wide ranger of pastas lol-- I think yummy cheese pasta in Hell's Kitchen offers a similar concept, portion but is more filling, diverse options for adding and overall, slightly cheaper. Perhaps I'll give this place another try on another day..

I haven't tried them all, obviously -- too many coffee shops -- but what I have tried, and come back to, over and over, is the products of the amazing team at Posto. It's not just about the skillfully made drinks or the balance of flavors, the fresh, Italian-style coffee or the filled-to-order Italian donuts and Maritozzos (iykyk) -- it's the overall ambience. You come here to put down the screen and enjoy the moment. So often do we rush through our coffees, or even bring them to meetings, at the beck and call of the city's hustle. But at Posto the kind, talented, customer-first team asks you to slow down and escape all of that, to savor every sip of coffee in the classic Italian style. Walking in feels more like a poem than a cafe. Gone are the transactional, disingenuous "how are you's" and instead you get to discover all sorts of fun barista (and bar) creations, Tuscan products, and fresh pasta. The servers and owner are always read to provide a recommendation, and like in Italian cafes, they bring whatever treats and drinks you land on to you. (My favorite aperol spritz is also from Posto.) Outside, the peaceful garden hosts two large umbrellas. It's vibrant, as if you're in a neighbor's backyard and they are willing to share a colorful moment with you, birds chirping overhead. As I finished the last drop of my cappuccino this morning, I realized that forty-five minutes had passed, and every sip of coffee was just as good as the last. Thank you!
