    Omg this place was so good. Fresh, made to order pasta with delicious flavors and toppings, all at a reasonable price. The service was excellent and the vibe of the place is both classy and chill. They even have free wifi. I had the pesto tagliatelle with bacon, mozzarella, and spinach and my mouth is still watering. It was actually some of the best pasta I've had and I just may have to hit this restaurant again before I leave Barcelona!

    Pasta bar!

    Pasta barrrrr in Barcelona! I mean it's exciting to find your home food in the middle of all the tapas. And naturally, I had to try. The place was huge, booming and bustling. Everything looks good and smells good. Oodles of pasta, ingredients to choose from. You personalize everything from pasta, to sauce to toppings ( cheese etc). Should have been fantastic. Should have been. I tried their Bolognese with Tagliatelle. Pasta was a little on softer side instead of al dente. Bolognese was a ok. Not typical Bolognese. I didn't mind it still because the ambiance was great. It was enjoyable watching them make pasta and all. You are a little more forgiving. My hotel was literally a block away! I took their carbonara togo. Worst dish ever. It was solid by the time I got back: so much cream ( not egg) and way too much jamon instead of pancetta. Just plain inedible block of solid noodles. Not even pasta. Just crazy creamy mess. Ended up dumping it: I would have loved a bite or two. But it was dump after one bite. Noodles got crunchy: crispy and soggy all at once. Still a great concept : fast food pasta, fun to pick out your own everything. Just stick to simple/ premade sauces as oppose to carbonara! Or avoid carbonara all together.

    Nice cold Damm beer.

    Excellent place to get a quick bite. It's fast food Barcelona style. Really loved the Rigatoni in meat sauce and the Lasagna. It is a very unique decor and a younger crowd ( University students mostly) and it's a fun place to eat and people watch.

    Carbonara Casarecce with Chicken

    This place is perfect for building your pasta at your liking. A su gusto. Pricing is less than the US and average for the area. Not many Yelp reviews but tons of Google reviews.

    i think about this pasta everyday. it is basically a chipotle for pasta, a build your own pasta bar. my favorite dish to get here was the vegetarian truffle and mushroom tagliatelle pasta with stracciatella and pistachios. Its my favorite quick pasta place outside of italy! The inside is also nice to sot in and have a glass of wine with a friend.

    Build your own pasta bar concept is nice, for $6-10 you can get a big bowl of pasta enough for two servings. Carbonara (4/5): not too heavy and had great flavor. Pesto w/ Chicken and Sundried Tomatoes (3/5): pesto sauce was bland, if I didn't add the extra toppings I would have been pretty disappointed. Meat Sauce w/ Mushrooms (1/5): good, but my friend got food poisoning later. Lemonade (4/5): very tart, not too sweet. Overall it's good for the price and fills you up. Nice change from tapas.

    I've been here twice and it's super convenient if you want a quick, delicious, and cheap dinner. I love how they have fresh pasta options and you can build your own pasta dish (select protein and veg). Everything is under 12 euros roughly and they have beer and wine! The wine is great and only 3 euros. It doesn't get better than that. They give you a number and then you can sit. It gets really busy so you grab your table fast! Overall, speedy service and tasty fresh pasta for a real bargain. My favorite is the fungi pasta with shrimp and broccoli.

    Mushroom Bacon pasta
    Danny C.

    First time here to a pasta place. Ordered Lasagne carne and wife had mushroom and bacon pasta. Not bad for the price about $19 and they add 10% tax in barcelona. They accept Amex. Service good. A nice show when you walk in. They have the pasta cooking on skillets lined up ready to cook. Nice atmosphere, a little noisy and small.

    Honestly, the best pasta I've ever had. My husband got lasagna and I got Panna, red onion, mozzarella on my pasta (can't remember the name of it...lol) You choose what type of pasta, sauce, and toppings and they make it fresh on the spot! Reasonably priced, great atmosphere, excellent food. We highly recommend visiting here!

    Quick and easy, pasta was great, got the regular olive oil and it was very good. Water and sparkling water tasted a little weird.
