A repeat spot for me! Complimentary focaccia, pasta is affordable and I love that they always have rotating specials. Place is self-service for water/putting away dishes, they just bring you bread and what you order. There's usually seating available and their covered outdoor space is cute too! Some of my favorite pastas they are the pipette ragu, spicy rigatoni, and the Wednesday special (agnolotti). They had a five-spice duck radiatori special once and I'm waiting for the day they'll bring it back! read more

LOVE FORMA PASTA FACTORY! I can't believe I've never left a review since I DoorDash this place at LEAST a couple times a month. I'm not a huge pasta girl - so my main orders from here would be the gem salad with grilled chicken. The grilled chicken is VERY GOOD with a great char and my body craves this weekly. The gem salad is very simple but with the freshest ingredients and this Dijon lemony dressing (don't quote me as I am just guessing) but seriously everyone should try this at least once in their life! The fettuccini pasta with mushrooms is also a repeat order for me. I would love to try some of their daily special pastas one day. They sell fresh pasta and sauce as well for takeout! Never ate here but I've delivered and picked up. read more

6/10 Mafaldine Scampi - Oh my this was so watery and lacked flavor affffffff. 7/10 Pappardelle Bolognese - The pasta was cooked perfectly, but it lacked sooo much flavor. And where was the cheesiness? There was basically none. It definitely had potential, but it didn't live up to expectations. Cost - $15.00 each read more

Such a amazing pasta, and for a great price! I went to their other location years ago and had a great experience there too. This location has a backyard so there's plenty of seating. My friend and I shared the spicy rigatoni, limoncello tart, and spaghetti and meatballs. You can't really go wrong with anything on the menu. Definitely going back! read more

This was some of the best tasting pasta I've had in my life. When you walk in, there's someone making fresh pasta upon greeting you. There's a lot of healthy drink selections, I got kombucha which I enjoyed personally. I ordered the Fettuccine with Salmon and that was a great dish. The seasoning was perfect, and I didn't feel heavy and sleepy after eating. I still had energy which I love. The decor in the backyard makes me feel like I left NY and went to Tuscany. read more

Forma pasta for the win, to end a wonderful Easter. Lasagna, spicy Alla vodka pasta, fettuccini fungi, bolognese, kale salad with seared salmon, lemonade and 2 glasses of wine, we feasted. Lasagna wasn't anything special in my opinion, but my family likes it, the spicy alla vodka was delicious, not too spicy, but spicy enough haha, the fettuccini was good, the bolognese was great and salad is always a yes for me. Almost forgot the bread, the complimentary bread is delicious. Service and vibe was great and super affordable! read more

This place is so yummy! the guy that took our order and the woman who brought our food were both very kind as well. It's such a cool vibe that they make the fresh pasta right in the window of the restaurant for you to see. You can taste how fresh everything is when you eat it. This is more of a fast casual place so small tables and to go are available. read more

Great standard Italian spot if you don't want to break the bank! You see the workers making the pasta fresh and the deals are incredible. They have special for each day and a meal and drink special for $16. Can't beat that!!! Super fresh. The searing situation can get a little hectic on a busy day and you may have to wait 15 mins but other than that, must try!!! You pay first, get ur tray of utensils and find a seat and you kindly put your dishes in the counter after. read more

Upon entering the establishment you order right then and there and have a seat anywhere you'd like. I opted for outside seating since inside was packed and the weather was decent. The music was playing pretty loud inside and traveled to the outside seating area. I didn't mind it as it was good music but I actually wished the music was louder outside so I could enjoy it more. Spicy pasta was delicious, very generous amount. I love Al dente pasta but it could've been cooked for about 30 seconds more. The fresh lemonade was about a 9/10, a tad bitter at the end but it's fresh so it's expected. My partner enjoyed his pasta but isn't a fan of Al dente but that's his personal preference. I didn't bother with the bread for the table, I found it to be on the cold side when I touched it. The Panna cotta was a 10/10. I've never had it before but wow it was wonderful. It tasted like vanilla bean ice cream and the sauce on top complimented it nicely. It wasn't too soft nor firm just the right consistency. Everything was fairly priced I honestly have no complaints about this restaurant & would return. read more

Pasta and a glass of wine for $19? That's a deal - esp if the pasta is freshly handmade. I shared with my husband the pappardelle bolognese and the mafaldine scampi. The bolognese was sooo good, the sauce was tasty and had a good amount of ground beef. The scampi was a complete surprise (in a good way). The pasta was al dente, had a lot of shrimp and the sauce was delicious - not too lemony. It comes with a side of their focaccia so what's not to like? They have a good variety of wines so I went for the Pinot Noir and my husband got the cab. They have a cute patio in the back cover and with heaters. Everybody since the moment we got there was very very nice and welcoming. read more

Yes, yes and yes... that's it! Okay, I'll share more. I finally made it to Forma Pasta Factory and wow. The wine and dine special is such a win: a glass of wine paired with your choice of pasta. And, the price is an absolute steal, under $20. I went with the fettuccine fungi and it was absolutely top tier, perfectly cooked and so comforting. I also had the lasagna and it was so good. The homemade rosemary focaccia was served with the pasta and it sealed the deal. Between the budget friendly food (but feels like a splurge), cozy atmosphere and the enclosed pergola vibes, it's easy to tell why this spot is an easy favorite. It is safe to say that Forma Pasta Factory will officially be on my regular rotation and I'll definitely be coming back again and again. Quick heads up on how it works: you'll order and pay at the register first, grab a number, then find a table while your food is prepared and brought to you. If you're dining with someone, it's smart to have hold a table while your order because this spot fills up fast. read more

One of the best pasta spots in the city, this location and the Williamsburg one. This is one of those rare beasts that's top-quality, super affordable, outdoor seating, easy ordering, cozy-casual ambience. The bolognese is insane! The pomodoro pasta and the pesto pasta are also so good. Solid seasonal veggie specials like roasted squash and pumpkin seeds. 5 stars!!!! read more

Order at the counter, then the employees help you find seating. I came for dinner on a Saturday night before a show and it was busy but we were able to get a table by the time our food was ready. I tried the Pipette ragu and Eggplant parm. The food is a 3 (definition of "you get what you pay for," but super reasonable prices and friendly service bring it to a 4. Cute backyard garden, too. read more

Conveniently located, a few blocks away from Atlantic Ave station. I was craving pasta and this place did not disappoint! There was a bit of a line indoors but it wasn't bad and we were able to find bar stool seats to eat our food. I got the pappardelle bolognese and ate the entire thing, it was delicious! If you're looking for an affordable pasta in Brooklyn, definitely check this place out, just be prepared to wait a bit! read more

Forma Pasta Factory - Pappardelle Bolognese - Italian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Love love Forma Pasta!! I've been to both locations, and their handmade pasta can't be beat for its price and quality. I'm usually someone who doesn't go out for pasta much since I typically argue that I can just make it at home, but Forma Pasta is a spot I love visiting since their pasta is just so fresh, and their menu combinations have me coming back every time. I always come back for their pipette ragu: the shape of the pipette pasta perfectly complements/holds the ragu sauce that they make in-house. The fettuccine funghi is also really good. I like that their pasta is all cooked perfectly al dente, and all meals eaten at the restaurant come with free bread! (that tastes like focaccia bread, which is even better!). For the price of $14, it can't be beat, and for those who are gluten-free, they have gluten-free pasta upon request as well. This location also has more indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor seating is in the back patio that has an ample amount of seating, and is also covered. Such a cute patio! And it was also fairly easy to find a table for an early dinner. Compared to their Greenpoint location, this location has much more seating, and the quality and taste were about the same. What we ordered: - pipette ragu pasta - fettuccine funghi pasta read more

I thoroughly enjoyed the food at this establishment. The pasta was amazing. You can taste the freshness. The service was ok. In hindsight there's not much for a waiter to do. It's not a typical restaurant. It's more like a takeout establishment with limited seating. Nonetheless I enjoyed my experience here and will go back to try other pasta on the menu. read more

Came here after work for dinner. I have tried the other locations before. First time dining in this location. Ordered fettuccine funghi, gemelli pesto, arancini. The fettuccine funghi was so creamy and mushrooms were so good! The bread was good as well. We pay for the food after ordering, we get a number and find an empty table to fit. They gave us a tray of napkins, utensils and 2 glasses of water for us to get from the water station. We sat at the back and it feels very much like camping vibes. One of my favourite pasta shop hands downs! read more

A neighborhood gem. This place is popular and there are always delivery drivers mingling about waiting for takeaway orders. Forma is semi-casual where you order at the counter and then find a table. I was pleasantly surprised at how much seating they're able to fit in the store! Pastas come with complimentary, perfectly fluffy focaccia, and the pasta dishes are packed with flavor albeit some items can be pretty oily. Either way it's reliable, quick, and hits the spot when you want tasty carbs. read more

so pleasantly surprised by this fast casual pasta place! forma is great spot for good quality, low cost, pasta. I cannot remember the last time I had a bowl of pasta with meat for $14 not to mention they have a pasta wine combo for only $19. You order at the counter than self seat but the enclosed patio area still had very cute lighting that made it feel like a sit down restaurant. I had the Bolognese and YUM!! I loved the thick noodles, they were perfectly al dente and soaked up the sauce beautifully. I also loved that the pasta came with a piece of bread. Service was super friendly on all fronts. read more

Trofie: interesting pasta shape that I've never had before. Cooked al dente. The sauce was slightly acidic and sweet. I wish the beef was a bit more tender. Clam pasta: I really enjoyed this. The sauce was super flavorful, lemony, and garlicky. The clams were cooked well. Sugar snap pea salad: Very crisp and refreshing. Service was quick and efficient! read more

Saw a huge line at another location and figured I'd try this one when I passed by. It's nice to find a yummy place spontaneously nowadays. Upon entering the restaurant, you can see staff making pasta. Lots of to-go orders. It was maybe a five minute wait before my party was at the cashier. The cashier was warm, polite, and accurate with our order. The silverware and drinking glasses brought by the staff to the table were warm. It was a nice touch. I'm trying to remember the last time that happened when eating out at a casual spot. Chance timing, I suppose. The agnolotti was flavorful yet light, and I'd absolutely order it again. The papardelle bolognese sauce was really yummy, but the pasta itself was borderline too wide and a bit too chewy. I'd love to revisit to try more of the menu. We need more places like Forma! read more

Amazingly fresh pasta that is also very affordable - especially during lunch special! The pasta itself is like $14 (which is unheard of for a quality plate here), and the lunch combo is a a couple dollars more and comes with a salad and bread. I've always come here during lunch open, but it definitely gets packed really quickly, even on a random weekday, so I would definitely come here right before they open. Great spot for some affordable and delicious pasta and will most definitely come back again in the near future. read more

It is crazy that a place like Forma can exist. $14 for TOP tier quality pasta that would cost $30+ anywhere else especially in this economy!? I love the fast casual setup of Forma. Order at the counter, grab a number, and someone brings it over to you. I think every order comes with tasty foccacia by default and I also ordered meatballs. My very minor complaints is that I wish the foccacia was saltier and the meatballs a smidge more tender but that doesn't take away from its tastiness. I got the mafaldine scampi and was kinda blown away. Pasta was al dente, shrimps perfectly cooked, sauce was flavorful - no complaints. Food was a 4/5 but the value was a 6/5. read more

Let's just say I was surprised (positively) when I heard the total price at the cashier. Such an affordable and quick pasta restaurant in Brooklyn! Came here on a Tuesday night around 6pm. Most tables were full, but we were able to snatch one of the last ones. You order at the cashier first, and then they deliver your food to wherever you decide to sit. We got the pappardelle bolognese and mafaldine scampi, both of which came out really quickly. I was pleasantly surprised by the high quality of the pasta - I didn't expect such high quality for a fast casual-type restaurant! Both dishes' noodles were perfectly al dente, and the sauces had great flavor. If you're a big eater, perhaps opt for getting 2 dishes for yourself, cause I could see how one dish may not be enough (although I personally was completely satiated). The free focaccia was really soft and fluffy. A cheap and high quality meal is hard to find these days, but Forma Pasta Factory delivered! read more

Delicious pasta! We ordered the 2 pastas in the photos and it came with some garlic bread. There was also a special with wine for super cheap (around $5) but we didn't get it because we didn't want to drink that day, but will definitely come back for this deal! The only complaint was the pasta took sooo long to come out we waited for a good 40 mins. It was a Friday night though so that's probably why! read more

My wife and I have been wanting to try this restaurant since moving to Fort Greene and it did not disappoint. We came in and were greeted by the waiter who explained you order and are given a number so they can deliver it to your table. The cashier, who I believe is also the owner, was very attentive and nice and gave us suggestions on both the pasta and wine They have a daily wine and pasta special for $19 which includes one pasta dish and one glass of wine which we did. We got the pappardelle bolognese and the mafaldine scampi. The bolognese was extremely tasty with fresh pasta. The scampi has a good amount of shrimp and was in a white wine sauce. We loved both so much! One of the best parts about this restaurant is they have a nice covered patio in the back that also allowed dogs. We will definitely be back to try their other pasta and wine combinations. read more

I keep reading through all the amazing reviews wondering if I'm the one that was off and not the meal? I've been in NY for 5 days and this was the first meal I've had that was regrettable. The cauliflower was undercooked and chilled by the time I arrived where I was staying a 3 minute walk away. The ravioli was super mushy and the tomato sauce was very acidic and bland. Bread was cold. People at the counter were very friendly. Very low key and comfortable vibe but with all the amazing places to try, I won't be back. read more

The spicy rigatoni was a delicious bowl of pasta with perfectly al dente noodles, a light and flavorful sauce, and subtle heat from Calabrian chilies. The focaccia served with each dish is fluffy, and perfect for scooping up the remaining sauce. Prices are also very reasonable, at just $18 after taxes. This place beats most of the overpriced West Village spots on both price and flavor. read more

Forma Pasta never disappoints. I would recommend this place anytime because it's affordable and serves great food. The staff are friendly, the restaurant is clean, and the food is always cooked fresh. I've been here several times, and there's a daily special every day. I've tried most of the menu, and everything absolutely delicious. On this visit - I ordered the fettuccine funghi. It comes with fresh bread. With the NYC Marathon just a few weeks away, this is the perfect spot to carb-load (hopefully they're still offering a discount!). This location also has additional seating in the back. I recommend coming here! read more

Forma pastas is good and the prices are great. Where are you going to find $14 plates of pasta nowadays ????!!! The establishment is not your usual- sit down, waiter takes your order ordeal. So you order at the register and then grab a seat either inside or in the back (so much seating and warm!!) the tables were small but we were lucky enough to put 2 tables together. we ordered a bunch of pastas to try with some other appetizers. My favorite pasta was the pipette ragu (pork ragu) and funghi. I would come back for these two for sureeeee!! My least favorite was the dessert. I tried the lemon bar and it was way too bitter? I like that it was more on the sour side but way too bitter for my liking. Maybe I'll try a different dessert when I go back and need my pasta fix. Overall the staff was really friendly and nice. The food came out super fast!!! read more

The food here was so good. The three of us really enjoyed it. The covered garden/patio area in the back is also super cute. It's definitely a fast casual restaurant, but the quality is significantly better than some of the restaurants we've been to in the area., even the nice ones. They make their pasta in house, and you can taste it. We ordered the Bolognese, buttered noodles, and a couple other appetizer like items. It was all really good. That actually might've been one of my favorite Bolognese dishes that I've ever had. It tasted fresh, it came out quickly, and the service was very great. Even though you order at the register, the food is served to you, and occasionally, the server will come by and make sure you have everything you need. Also, the price was incredibly reasonable. I so wish I was closer because I would definitely go back. read more

LOVE Forma Pasta Factory! I usually go to the Greenpoint location but we were in the area and we were looking for a restaurant open at 9pm for a late dinner for a party of 5 and Forma Pasta Factory fit the bill! No reservations required, you just walk in, place an order at the counter and find a seat (we loved sitting in their covered and heated back patio). You really can't go wrong with any of their offerings as I've tried pretty much every item on the menu and everything has been delightful. That night, I shared the tagliatelle scampi and the spaghetti pomodoro. As expected, the pasta was perfectly al dente and tasty. Definitely coming back if we're in the area! read more
