I thought Misipasta was overall very solid! The menu is quite small, so for my group of 2 we shared a warm app, sandwich, and a pasta. I made a reservation for noon on a Sunday, I want to say it was probably not necessary because we were the only two people for about a good half hour. However by 1:30 pm it was quite full. Maybe because we got there early it took a while for the kitchen to get fired up. Overall, I found the experience quite enjoyable, but maybe this is more of a drink place that you order food to go with vs vice versa! read more

I stumbled upon this place after an unsuccessful Tonchin trip that was sold out on a collab they did. When I tell you things happen for a reason they truly do. I had completely lost my voice and was looking for a good meal. I walked in and spotted a small seating area in front of an open kitchen. I was so excited to watch the chefs at work and see everything being prepared for a pasta course they were having the next day. Service was exceptional, I could barely speak and yet they were so kind and listened the best they could. I asked their recommendations and ordered every one of them. I started with their thinly sliced salami sprinkled with fennel pollen and chickpeas. Although the chickpeas were delicious they were the least exciting out of everything I ordered but still tasted great. I then moved on to the grilled artichoke sandwich which was so freakin good. The bread was light the artichoke bursts with flavor and embodied the heartiness of a burger. I had left over salami from my app so I combined it with my sandwich and I got the nod of approval from the chefs. Next up was the mozzarella grilled cheese. This thing is BEYOND perfect the crisp and melty goodness is insane. The outside was toasted to perfection. I'm not sure if they do but it tasted like they toasted it in anchovy oil. Not sure. But it was good. Lastly I finished with the basque cheesecake which was the perfect ending to a fantastic meal. I can't wait to go back and try their pasta and the next round of seasonal dishes. read more

This review is for weekend dinner. Overall I thought this place was decent (hard to compare to their sister restaurant, Misi a few blocks down!) I wouldn't go out of my way to visit, or wait for a table. But if you're in the area and able to walk in, then it's a nice casual dinner spot. Ambiance: very casual. Serves as part store (able to buy fresh pasta, sauce, etc) and restaurant. Indoor seating is very small (only counter tops) and not good for groups. There's also an outdoor patio that may be better for groups. Food: menu is quite small plus daily specials not listed. I split the below for 2 people. We did leave full, but the portions are very small - not meant to share for more than 2 people. -Marinated Chickpeas: these weren't bad, but I found them underwhelming. It mostly just tasted like chickpeas. Serving is small. -Asparagus: I much preferred this over the chickpeas, had a lot more flavor and would order again. -Ricotta & Pistachio Filled Mezzaluna: sauce is light. Enjoyed this, but serving is small. Comes with maybe 9 small thinly filled raviolis. -Spaghetti Bottarga: no photo. Serving is a good size and pasta was cooked well, but this was our least favorite. It oddly didn't have much flavor and was dry so we ended up dowsing in parm cheese. -Ricotta Ravioli: this was our favorite. Red sauce is zesty and fresh. But again very small portion. Comes with 6 small thinly filled raviolis. Dessert we got a chocolate mouse and cheesecake - both delicious and would recommend. read more

I've been here twice and it is really good food but the only complaint are the portion sizes. Most of the dishes are microscopic and could be eaten entirely in one bite without even stuffing your face. The sandwiches are typically a decent size. The one pasta with the bottarga is a normal size. We ordered the special filled pasta and it was 9 quarter sized dumplings.... The wines are the smallest pours I have ever seen at a restaurant. read more

I'm a longtime Lilia/Misi fan and finally tried their casual cafe/bar. Brought my mom here for lunch on a weekend and it was excellent. I made a reservation for the backyard garden (an absolute must if the weather is good). We shared the Mezzaluna pasta, grilled artichoke sandwich and chickpea farinata. Everything was amazing! Will definitely be back. read more

I had the pleasure of being a stand-in for a friend's date here when she bailed on him after the reservation cancellation window. I've been to Misi on numerous occasions, but this was my first time at their pasta shop-cum-sorta wine bar at the far end of Grand St. Contrary to the name, the menu actually leans more heavily into the non-pasta dishes. The artichoke sandwich, served on a hefty brioche, and the chickpeas with ricotta were my favorite dishes of the evening. I like the mozzarella in carrozza better at Cafe Spaghetti. For pastas, we shared the lemon spaghetti, which paired very well with the breadcrumbs, and a special pesto gnocchi - the gnocchi itself was a bit too dense and compact for my taste. read more

I really enjoyed my time at MISIPASTA! We sat outside on the patio, which was cozy and clean. All of our food was delicious. Could not recommend the sandwich more, so rich and decadent. My only complaint was the service. All of our food came out at different times and our server was slow to check back on us sometimes. However, only a small inconvenience for some delicious food! read more

This was a really fun place to dine. I felt like I was in an exclusive place small seating for just a few and you could see the chefs working in the kitchen. My mother and I had passed this place during lunch and saw them making fresh pasta and I really wanted to go here. It's giving tap of style where you need to order between two and five things to share with people which is a really cute idea but for the prices, I know this could not be someone's favorite The star of the meal with the chickpea salad, which had a little bit of heat that built and the cheese it is a recipe I wanna try to create the ravioli was fresh light I could've had another, but we also got the off the menu pasta that had meat filled and a cream sauce that was really decadent super fun and lovely staff would definitely go back again read more

The market version of Misi - where you can grab a drink or meal at the counter and get some fresh pasta and other meal ingredients! Considering how hard it is to get a reservation at Misi only a few blocks down, I was excited to try Misipasta. Honestly was hoping there would be more pasta options - there are only two written on the menu (spaghetti, ravioli) and one our server mentioned (fettuccine). We wanted some salad to go with our pasta but unfortunately, no modifications could be made in removing sliced almonds, which is an allergy of mine. But the spaghetti turned my experience around - super flavorful, crunchy, and zesty pasta with a buttery lemony sauce that kept making me want more. It was also fun sitting in front of the kitchen - seeing the chefs whip up some fresh, saucy, glossy pasta made us excited for our pastas. read more

I sat on a stool very uncomfortable!! It was really overpriced small plates! I would not go again! The first fish was too salty some kind of chickpea pancake! The ravioli was definitely undercooked and the spaghetti pasta with lemon sauce was ok! There is no real seating! The bill was overpriced! Service was good! Undercooked and overpriced! read more

I'd been following MisiPasta on Instagram for some time. So when I stumbled on it en route to Domino Park, I decided to check it out. Service was very friendly and every staff member I interacted with was personable and warm. I ordered a cappuccino, the asparagus and mezzaluna. The backyard garden is beautiful and feels like a repose in a bustling city. The design is simple yet elevated and I spent a few moments capturing some food photos. The food- asparagus was lovely and I liked the added flavor and texture from the walnuts. The pasta was good but missing a kick. I ultimately ate it with the remaining sauce from the asparagus and it was tastier. Will definitely return. read more

A lovely spot for fresh pasta tucked into the heart of Williamsburg -- they have a great ambiance, and we were able to get bar seats immediately on a Friday evening roommate date night. They have a nice outdoor patio, so would love to come back for that. The menu here is very small with a strong focus on seasonal ingredients -- I am seriously obsessed. The flavors were so light and summery and everything tasted so fresh. The Pistachio Mezzaluna and Arugula Peach Salad were my favorites but the Spaghetti is a house-favorite and comes in a VERY close second. I'll definitely be back -- I hear the Artichoke Sandwich is a crowd-favorite, so want to try that next time! read more

My friend and I came on a weekday afternoon for a late lunch. When you walk in you can see them making the fresh pasta. The interior is bright, modern, and clean. The walls are lined with items that you can purchase. We chose to sit inside as it was very hot out. They have 2 small bar seating areas and a gorgeous outdoor seating area. The service was friendly and slow. We got a salad and the only 2 pastas on the menu. The taste of every item was great, but the portion sizes were very small. We both preferred the ricotta and pistachio filled mezzaluna with lemon and basil over the spaghetti bottarga lemon with garlic breadcrumbs. My friend felt that the flavoring of the spaghetti was too strong to eat a lot of it, but I enjoyed it. The flavoring of both were unique and memorable, however felt more like a snack than a meal. read more

Came here during summer and sat in courtyard. Nice ambiance and loved sitting outside. The pasta we tried was good. Felt a bit more buttery than might have wanted. Enjoyed the apps and wine and gelato! Misi is one of my favorite Italian places - and was hoping a bit more from misipasta, but did love the courtyard! read more

mid. i was a little disappointed in my visit here. i went with my best friend having www high expectations from the reviews and left underwhelmed. the food was ok. you can't go to a pasta spot and not get pasta so of course, that's what we got. it was ok. we also had the affogato and that was yummy. the service was friendly and professional, place is cute and clean (cold so we keep our jackets on). overall, nothing was wrong or bad. just wasn't impressed. read more

4.5 stars. MISIPASTA is a great place for all occasions, whether it's a date or a group hangout. It has a casual environment, but the interior is covered in warm wood tones, giving it a premium feel. Service was super friendly as well. Their menu is limited, which is perfect for indecisive people like me. We've come back a few times and basically tried the whole menu. All their antipasti are delicious -- highlights include the Gougere and the Cotechino Sausage. I will say I think the pasta leaves a little room to be desired. The ricotta has a light flavor, but is on the heavy/oily side. The spaghetti lacks a little flavor. However, they do sell fresh pasta, butter, and cheese. You can get a few of these to have a bomb-ass gourmet meal at home. For dessert after dinner -- DECAF AFFOGATO! read more

TLDR: Me like MISIPASTA. It's a small shop where you can grab a bite and also pick up your favorites from her restaurants. Definitely grab a sandwich (or two) and a pasta. Don't forget to buy some fresh pasta or other ingredients to make a "homecooked-ish" meal for the week. I was itching to try this place, especially being a fan of her other restaurants. It's quite small and is a specialty shop where you can also grab food at. We sent at the kitchen counter which was cool to see each dish come together. Fortunately there's not really an overlap with the menus of the other restaurants either. Prosciutto di parma, fontina gougere. Nice salty thin slices of prosciutto, hot and cheesy bread. What's not to like? Grilled Artichoke Sandwich. I don't like vegetable sandwiches but this was wonderful. The rustic artichoke, thick sesame bun, sharp provlone, a bit of - this tastes like what I'd want to eat in the summer. Cochetino Sandwich. Reminded me a bit of a spam sandwich and I mean that in a great way. Crispy on the edges, salty, fatty, the salsa verde and balsamic helped balance out the heaviness. Spaghetti. Bottarga, breadcrumbs, lemon. It's salty, crunchy, acidic, bright - a perfect dish. The pasta was fresh, prepped in front of us and was al dente as it should be. Grabbed some whipped ricotta (yeah, the Misi one) and meatballs on the way out. Definitely will return. read more

I loved my experience at Misipasta! They have a lovely backyard area that is perfect for the summertime. It's a pretty small area that is easy to miss if you don't know about it. I booked a reservation for Sunday brunch two weeks out and there was a lot of availability. It isn't super difficult to get a reservation but if you want all of the options, I would recommend planning. There are also a few seats inside where you can see the chefs making the pasta, but those are much more difficult to get. I think the outside area is great, especially when the weather is nice so would recommend booking outdoors if possible. When we got seated, they gave us a small menu with the dishes (which I believe they change out seasonally). I came with four other people and we ordered 5 dishes, which was just enough. I really enjoyed the two pasta dishes we ordered as well as the artichoke sandwich. At the end of the meal, we also got affogato, which was the perfect end to the meal. I like that this is a more relaxed and casual option compared to its sister restaurant! read more

We had another amazing visit here. Everything we got was excellent, including the ravioli with tomato sauce, spaghetti with bottarga, chickpeas with roasted tomatoes, and especially the incredible artichoke sandwich. The setting and food are just perfect. If I have any complaint, it's still that they can only do spaghetti for a kids pasta, but my kids (5 and 3) actually did fine with it. read more

This place was recommended to me while I was on the prowl for pasta. I was excited and optimistic at first by the people who greeted us but our actual server tainted my experience. The girly pops were nice and helpful but the men here were not. Overall a bit pretentious. This experience is the reason I stay away from trendy restaurants. When we ordered the server told us we needed to order double the amount of food we ordered. That just wasn't true because we all felt fine with a dish each. Pasta was very good. But yeah the experience is just a big eye roll read more

10/10 experience getting dinner with friends at MISIPASTA. I've been to Misi before and I'd argue that MISIPASTA is much better in every way! We sat in the gorgeous outdoor backyard area and our server was so beyond friendly. I wish I remembered his name but he had dark hair and glasses. He immediately brought us blankets and was super attentive the entire night. We shared the marinated chickpeas, the artichoke sandwich, mustard greens salad, and butternut squash. Everything was delicious but I liked the artichoke sandwich the best. A couple of us got the spaghetti and others got the pasta special which was a stuffed pasta with ricotta, mascarpone, and prosciutto. It was delicious. But my absolute favorite part of the meal was dessert! We got the ricotta torte which was their take on a basque cheesecake and it was as tasty as it was beautiful sitting in the dim light. I cannot wait to return with friends or for a date night soon! read more

Came here on a nice day and it's impossible to have a bad time in their backyard outdoor seating! The space is beautiful and laid back. We ordered almost everything on the menu, and everything was really great and fresh! Favorites were the artichoke sandwich and the pastas. Also amazing that you can purchase gelato pints here as the gelato at Misi and Lilia is my favorite! Definitely want to go back and purchase more of their grocery items. read more

Best as a shop selling pasta, maybe not a restaurant. I did see some of the comically tiny tables that other reviews mentioned. There are no tables inside the restaurant. The only seats for more than 2 people really are outside. Unfortunately, we needed a table and so had to sit outside. Too bad it was still pretty cold. Probably very nice in the summer. Smoked anchovy was great. Smoked swordfish very light and unique. Pasta noodle was obviously well cooked but the flavor was disappointing. Left pretty unsatisfied and somewhat hungry for something else. They do have kids pasta for $15. It is just spaghetti with cheese. The kid did love it. Not really kid friendly. No high chairs and if inside, no room for a stroller. Probably won't return. read more

Apertivo bar and takeaway pasta joint for Missy Robbins lovers. Really cute location with both indoor and outdoor options. Had the chance to walk in & sit right at the bar. Barstool seats were a bit close and uncomfortable for sitting, but it was manageable. Had a cocktail, the tomato toast, and spaghetti. I absolutely loved how full of umami flavor the tomato toast was and the pasta was perfectly cooked. It's a more casual spot than Lilia and Misi, but just as attentive waitstaff & just as good food. read more

Reservations are pretty hard to get at this small dining establishment but I managed to score a table for two on a Sunday night. We sampled the menu with two pastas that they offered, a few appetizers and dessert. We ordered a bottle of the rosso wine which was very lite in color and crushable as they would say. Service was impeccable and the dishes served were just the right amount. Would I have loved more of the prosciutto? Absolutely but then we wouldn't have been able to finish our entire meal. The cute location with lots of purchasable fresh ingredients really made it amazing to visit. Glad I came and can't wait to come back. read more

Last minute reservation on a Tuesday night, the menu is simple and limited. However, every dish was surprisingly rich in flavor. Ordered anchovy toast appetizer, artichoke sandwich (favorite), and spaghetti (heavy and rich). I think their menu changes regularly, saw other reviews with different menu items. Would come back when the menu changes. read more

Yet another confusing experience at a Missy Robbins restaurant. The good: - They crushed it with the venue. The space is awesome. - The maltagliati finally gave me a glimpse of why people love Misi/Lilia pasta so much. They didn't overdo it, kept flavors simple, and it worked. - The squash and the spaghetti were both solid dishes. The bad: - The radicchio was maybe the worst dish I've ever tried at any restaurant. I mean it. - The chairs suck. For the love of god please replace them. - It's too pricey for what's basically the Misi/Lilia version of Forma Pasta Factory. Neat addition to the neighborhood. Great place to purchase Misi restaurant products if you're a fan. read more

Came in for a quick bite since it's been open for awhile and I haven't tried the new offshoot of the empire yet. I got the first pasta, mafagliata? I think is what it is called in a fresh tomato sauce and I believe it was pecorino Romano shaved on the top. The pasta quality is 10/10. Cooked perfectly and absolutely delicious. The sauce itself was ok nothing making me go crazy to have it again. I wish for the price point they would have some sort of protein included. The inside was nice with a cool ambiance and very attentive waitstaff. The bar stools were not the most comfortable but worked for my quick visit. I wish for them to add more pastas to the menu as there were only 2. read more

Okay wow!!!! The first two items we got were the nectarines and the artichoke sandwich and honestly those two orders were enough to say that MISIPASTA knows what they are doing! Wow... the flavors in the nectarine salad hit the spot. The artichoke sandwich was citrusy and hearty. I've never had anything quite like it and the mix of the crunchy bun was just unreal. Highly recc ordering both those items. We also got the chickpea appetizer & the ricotta filled pillows I'll call them. They were both good but not absolute musts to order. Service was speedy and the ambiance of the restaurant is stunning, beautiful backyard as well. The menu is small but has tons of options within it. Will definitely revisit to try more. Thank you!! read more

When you don't snag a resy for Lilia or Misi, MisiPasta is usually pretty easy to walk in with a short or no wait. The back patio feels like its own little oasis and perfect for a summer evening!

The atmosphere at misi pasta transports you to a small town in Italy. With a pristine and quiet outdoor space to enjoy a summer night, and a cozy indoor where you can enjoy overlooking the chefs whip up your meal, the experience in and of itself is hard to beat. I have been lucky recently with reservations and have been able to try a few different things on their menu. While I was expecting to love the artichoke sandwich, it was admittedly, not the star of the show. I found the chickpea farinata to be a bit bland. BUT the prosciutto and fontina grougeres were to die for. The airiness of the pastry coupled with the saltiness from the cheese and meat is the inspiration for my next baking endeavor. We also shared the ricotta and pistachio filled mezzaluna which was the perfect light summer pasta. I can't wait to see what their next seasonal dishes will be! read more

I ate there today at 12 noon. Not a single other patron was in the store, so they certainly werent too frazzled to accomodate my "special" demand which was the simplest substitution request known to man. Namely, sprinking parmesean cheese instead of pecorino cheese on top of my pasta. I told them in advance that I hate stinky cheese and I prefer parmesean instead and the response was, essentially, we dont care, were not making even the smallest effort to make you happy with our tiny little snack-sized portion of food that youre spending $23 on. This is a total joke of a pretentious restaurant. Youd think I had asked for gold-plated caviar as a substitute. Really, go to hell with your rules. A restaurant is a service business, not a prison lunchroom. read more

Closer to 4.5 stars Standouts: - great spot for a snack and drinks, particularly the artichoke sandwich. - the grocery items are so appealing and high quality, love that they sell their whipped ricotta. One day my goal will be to buy either one of the delicious looking tiramisus or baked ricotta cheesecakes - the ambiance and service was lovely. Good to know beforehand: - Prices are on the higher end - Heads up, naturally the backyard does have mosquitos so I suggest to wear bug spray! - We also got the chickpea, mozzarella, and the special of the day ravioli, which were great to try but not sure I'd get them again. I personally enjoy the food at Lilia and Misi's more but appreciate the more casual nature of this spot. read more

Great casual spot for small plates and drinks. We arrived 15min before they opened at 11am today (Sunday) and were the first people in line. Wait didn't seem too bad while we were there. The interior is nice and modern, you get to see them making pasta right by the window. They have a very well-curated selection of items for sale on the front. We got seated in the backyard, which was airy and full of shade, perfect for this time of the year. Missy Robbins was very welcoming and it was great to see her interacting with guests and overseeing the restaurant. Service was friendly and attentive at all times. Dishes are on the smaller side, great for sharing. Everything was delicious - focus on veggies and seasonality. The artichoke sandwich was our favorite, so delicious! I also recommend trying the chickpea farinata, which was very good in an unexpected way. For dessert, we shared the chocolate panna cotta, which was perfectly rich and decadent. read more

MISIPASTA is essentially an upscale deli/grocery with an open pasta-making view as well as a mini kitchen in the back for you to watch chefs cook your pasta for you. My partner was craving fresh pasta and came here to buy some. They have quite the selection here in regard to pastas, sauces, and other pasta related items. However, I wish there wasn't a single limit on a pasta type of one pound. My partner and I wanted to buy 1/4 or 1/2 pounds of various pastas, but the fresh pasta had to be cooked within 2-3 days and we couldn't eat one pound of all the pastas within that time frame.. MISIPASTA is essentially related to Misi and Lilia and the concept is nifty in that you can essentially make the pasta and ricotta toast at home if you desire. I may consider coming back if I have a dinner party to host to buy big portions of fresh pasta or to even have an impromptu pasta lunch or dinner. read more

Having had the opportunity to eat at Misi and Lilia before, had to check out MisiPasta. A fun experience, the small shared plates experience was great. The seating indoors is very limited and all bar stool seating. We started with the spritz and Negroni which were both delicious. The salad to start was refreshing and delicious with almonds and dates. The chickpea farinata was crispy and cheesy, highly recommend. The sandwich was out of this world, so delicious. Both pasta options were great, with my favorite being the spaghetti. Finished with an affogato which was made extra special with a birthday candle. The service was responsive and excellent, always available to help. Would enjoy going back here again, particularly for the outdoor seating in nice weather. read more

This place is serving food as fresh as it comes! The waiter was really sweet and walked us through the entire menu, explaining dishes in detail which was great. We tried almost everything on the menu, the plates are small and shareable so this was plenty of food for 4 people. The cant miss dishes - both pastas and the butternut squash! Where my points come off is the seating. None of the seats have backs and are all dinner stools, so prepare. This also leaves no where really to put your coats or bags. The chairs are also very mobile and we found ourselves holding them in place all night , or we would be spinning in circles. If you come get a table outside, it may be your only shot at a supportive chair!! read more

I will take Misipasta over Misi anytime . Completely different vibe , less clubby and hectic and much more friendly . The pastas are world class and the pasta chef is engaged which is real great addition (try to get sit on the pasta preparation's bar) Pastas are changing so it's hard to recommend a specific one but ALL 4 were delicious! Two desserts were excellent as well . Fantastic service all around . Excellent variety of grocery stuff ! Highly recommended!!!! Definitely A destination!!!! read more
