Took my boyfriend who is a diehard Italian here for his birthday and he absolutely loved it! We got the beef carpaccio w truffle to start and I got the mushroom risotto with truffles all over it. I'm a truffle fanatic and it did not disappoint, it's perfectly salted!! You can tell the staff has a good relationship with one another which is extremely important to build a great culture to deliver a great experience to the customers! read more

We went there last weekend for the first time. We didn't have a reservation, but they had a table outside. It was like I was back in Italy. The food was absolutely awesome. My wife had one complaint about how lasagna, she says she wanted more! read more

I first found out about Pasta And... from the famous foodie group- LESF. I went with a few girls for my birthday and let me tell you, it did not disappoint. The service, ambiance, and quality of food were all top notched. I tried truffle pasta for the first time and I was in love. 2 months later I brought my husband to this place and the second time is as good as the first time! I got their linguine allo scoglio and pasta e fagioli (highly recommended!!!). For dessert I got pistachio gelato. Everything were amazing! Will definitely return. Be sure to make a reservation before heading over there. read more

Pasta And - Linguini with Black truffle - Italian Near Me - Margate, Florida

I cannot say enough good things about this dinner. I will be thinking of it until I can come back. This was the hands down best Italian food I have had in south Florida. Possibly my top 2 favorite meal ever. While the name always threw me for a loop when I heard people recommend it, and honestly I was maybe being a bit of a snob about the location, I am forever changed and beyond a fan. Service was incredible! Food was insane! And overall it was an amazing experience all around. The restaurant is very cute and cozy and a great spot for a date night or intimate night with friends. read more

Fantastic place to eat!!! One of the best Italian restaurants you will find and yes it's in Margate, Fl. Seating inside and out but very small so reservations will help. The staff is exceptional and if you speak or understand Italian it's a plus. We started off with Beef Carpaccio and Sausage w/ peppers and both were superb. Main courses was Risotto with Cured ham and apples, Gnocchi in a spicy brown gravy, Wild Boar with linguine, Pappardelle and Osso Bucco. Wow!!! 2 bottles of Chianti Classico 2018 Gran Selezione and ended with Gelato. Not cheap but what a place to eat and enjoy. read more

This is a hidden gem. Stumbled onto this place by looking for cappuccinos to go. Came back a week later and did not disappoint. We're foodies and everything we ordered was wonderful. The wait staff is knowledgeable and goes above and beyond. One of our new favorites and it just so happens that a few friends were mentioning it at the same time that we had just gone. Can't wait to go back! read more

Went here for the first time and it's a fantastic authentic northern Italian restaurant. The chef came over and greeted us in between the appetizer and entrees telling us about ingredients and how the pasta is made fresh. Every dish was more delicious than the other and the tiramisu at the end was a nice end to a great meal. The pear ravioli was our favorite and the beef carpaccio was also a great starter. Will definitely return and highly recommend everyone try. read more

Everything was executed perfectly! Food was delicious. Wine selection was extensive, prices were extremely fair .

Great authentic Italian restaurant in south Florida. It was a pretty small restaurant that probably sat 50 people max. We reserved a table for later that night and were pretty happy that we did because it was fully booked. I highly recommend making a reservation beforehand. We sat outside and the weather was really nice. The menu was pretty extensive with two sections dedicated to raviolis and risotto. They also had featured dishes for that night. We ordered the scallops for appetizer which was very delicious and fresh, definitely melts in the mouth. There was only 3 scallops though. I ordered the delicious pear raviolis which featured a light cheesy sauce which I highly recommend. read more

Pasta And - Ravioli di Pera e Taleggio al Cacio e Pepe - Italian Near Me - Margate, Florida

Surprisingly elegant inside considering the location is a strip mall food was excellent. The service was a little erratic, meaning different people kept asking us the same stuff we already did with another waiter, but that wasn't a problem. The food was excellent. The dessert was great and the 20 minute drive was well worth it. I definitely will visit it again. read more

Pasta And... I've been before, and remembered it for the great pasta and authenticity. I couldn't wait to go back. But sometimes memories are better left right there. Now, don't get me wrong, I enjoyed my meal, but the ravioli was slightly undercooked, just shy of al dente. The cacio e pepe "sauce" was, well, I'll just say, not like it was in Italy. The seafood in my partner's dish was just okay, although the squid ink pasta was amazing! The burrata was outstanding, and the gnocchi was as well. Our friends had the black truffle on fettuccine, about which she raved, and he enjoyed the boar Ragu. The service was great, our waiter spoke with a great accent and had a wonderful demeanor. While I won't run back, I will be back. read more

What a great authentic Italian restaurant. Even the staff were all authentic Italians with very nice accents, which didn't hurt haha. The restaurant is a bit small, and when empty you can hear a pin drop, so I would recommend trying to make a later reservation so you're not the first couple people there. As for the food, everything was 10/10, so delicious. My table was fighting over who ordered the best food. They specialize in game, truffle, and mushrooms and their pasta is handmade in house. They even have a private room in the back for parties and the most beautiful patio set up which secludes you from the rest of the ugly parking lot. read more

If you have not been to "Pasta And ..." yet you are in for a real treat. I actually thought "getting in" was as simple as reserving on Open Table, but alas, the ONLY way is to call the restaurant and speak to the Maitre d. Outdoor dining is on the front sidewalk and all we saw because we sat outside and it was charming despite it being the month of June 2022. I can attest to great seating outdoors complete with crisp White Linen tablecloths and choice of tap, bottled Italian water flat, or bottled water with gas (bubbles). Bottled flat was delightful and set the tone for a night of decadent gastronomical delight. The wine list is more than sufficient. Love the amarone wine here and had to have the black squid ink pasta linguini noodles with fruits di mer (fruits of the sea). This dish was spot on for me and I could even have gone for a higher pasta noodle to fruits di mer ratio. The seafood included mussels, Large Shrimp, and calamari (squid). Others were raving about the fettuccine. As for dessert I stuck with something simple yet elegant: the Sabayon sauce with berries, including blackberries. Sheer heaven! Others were raving about the tiramisu dessert. This was my first time dining here though I heard of it a couple of years ago. Wish we would have come sooner. Easily the top ristorante in Margate if not in all of NW Broward County. Come for yourself. A nice touch is that at the end of the night the personable Chef comes out and visits each table. Hope you'll check it out. It has been a long time since I have given a Five Star review. Bravo! read more

Came with some friends who suggested this spot. We really like the back side of the restaurant where the bar was. They had a special menu for their in season white truffle. We tried the lamb chops that weren't impressive. Also the mushroom ravioli was good but not memorable. Nothing great. The restaurant is pricey. We enjoyed our bottle of Pinot Nior and our burrata appetizer. Overall the venue is very nice small and unexpected in the papa John's plaza. The server we had was Kush, he was good and knowledgeable on the menu. Overall 4Gs. read more

Very authentic north Italian cuisine! My favorites were scallop appetizer,porcini ravioli with truffle sauce and shaved truffles and fior di latte gelato! 10/10 recommend this place read more

I had heard all the rave about Pasta And... from friends, so when planning our annual Girls Pasta Night, we couldn't have thought of a better place to go. Since inside is such an intimate dining space, we were encouraged to make reservations as we were a party of 5. When we arrived, we were sat right away and about 3 tables were already occupied with big groups. In about 8-10 minutes, every table was full. We started out with some appetizers to share and the in-house sommelier/host sought out our tastes in red wine and brought out a bottle (our first) which was fantastic. We shared the salmon burrata and octopus. Both were great, but my favorite out of the two was the salmon burrata...buttery, salty, delicious. Both were big enough to share for the 5 of us. After, we each got our own entrees and after trying a little bit of everyone's dish, we all came to the same consensus - there was nothing we didn't like. I had the beef ravioli, and I wish I remembered the names of my girlfriends' dishes because they were excellent. For dessert, we shared the straciatella mousse and berries on a cloud (which was a special that evening)...deeelicious. I highly recommend this quaint family biz, there are only good things to say about it. From the impeccable service to the amazing food and delectable desserts, I see this going on the rotation. read more

The worst Italian food I have ever eaten. Pork Osso Bucco "special, cooked for hours" was so dried out I could hardly chew it. The same for everyone at the table. My husband ordered the Veal Osso Bucco because the restaurant ran out of the special. (at 6pm) Half of the meat was fat. Save your money and your time. read more

Went back with my group of friends at Pasta And... The food was excellent and the service was excellent, there was always two to three servers around our table asking if everything was to our liking. I ordered the special on the menu, linguini with octopus and cherry tomatoes in a white wine sauce, delicious! Here are a few pictures of our plates, Osso Bucco, veal Milanese... We enjoyed our dinner and we will surely go back there! read more

We stepped through a portal in a nondescript strip mall and found ourselves in Northern Italy. Greeted in a sexy Italian accent and promptly seated at a cozy table framed on one side by stacked wooden wine crates, we immediately ordered a plush barbera wine with excellent legs which we sipped while perusing the menu. Where to begin? Our waiter made recommendations and told us the special: Braised lamb shank with a creamy polenta. (It was fall off the bone unctuous) Yes please! Shared Appetizer: Burrata con Bresaola della Valtellina - fantastic Other entrees enjoyed: Ravioli di Pera e Taleggio al Cacio e Pepe- Ravioli stuffed with pear and taleggio cheese, served in a pecorino romano cream sauce, and pepper. Pappardelle al Sugo di Cinghiale - Classic Wild Boar Sauce. Dessert: Zabaione - rich and creamy custard with fresh berries. Fresh, homemade, silky, banana Gelato. Missing - Dessert wines. We asked our waiter but were told there weren't any? Would have been a perfect finish to a perfect meal. Superlative northern Italian fine dining served by knowledgeable, efficient staff. Definitely make reservations. Fully booked on a Tuesday night! They don't answer the phone but returned message and email - more than worth the effort. I will return again and again until I've tasted every menu item. read more

Pasta And... exceeds all the hype you've heard over the years [and then some]. Recent renovations have transformed this space to create a high-end NYC experience, morphing it's unassuming shopping plaza location into a true culinary experience. While the food speaks for itself and has for many years, the new ambiance only assists in enhancing the experience to a new level. What began as a modest pasta shop is now one of South Florida's premier destinations for exceptional Italian cuisine. The cocktail program is equally impressive; we sipped on Butter Washed Old Fashioneds which were extraordinary -- and then came the Espresso Old Fashioneds which were absolutely perfect. Book your reservation now and don't wait for a special occasion. read more

You might want to skip dinner and just order all of the appetizers. We had four of them & would have ordered all, but were saving room for dinner. We had a party of six and really looked forward to pasta, but couldn't resist the Osso Bucho and the roasted pork special of the day. We also had seafood risotto, gnocchi, and a ravioli dish. Outstanding! Can't say enough of how professional, friendly and helpful the waiters were. We had a perfect evening. read more

Decided to try this place after reading so many reviews. Although about 15 minutes from my house have honestly never noticed it. We were promptly seated upon arrival. Our server explained the menu and specials. Although we wanted to order our appetizers first we were told to order our entire meal all it once as they were expecting a busy night. We order our appetizers and entrees together and the meal was perfectly timed. We never felt rushed although that was our original concern. The entire meal form start to finish was amazing. The scallops and Bronzino were perfectly cooked. We Weill definitely be back. read more

Italian as authentic as it's going to be in Florida! One of my friends has been raving about this place for years and we finally got the chance to go after work. It's located in a plaza with parking right in front. When I turned in I thought that there were a lot of cars in the parking lot because it's located right next to papa johns but as I walked up to the restaurant I realized that it was full because the restaurant was full on a Tuesday night. Luckily we had reservations. We were greeted right away and given the choice of outside or inside. I opted for inside because it was rainy but the outside area is really nice as well. The inside of the restaurant is decorated with wine everywhere ( even in the bathroom haha ). Our waiter came over right away and he spoke Italian Spanish and English and was also a sommelier. He gave us the specials of the day and took our order. I got the pear ravioli and it did not disappoint. It was mildly sweet. The pasta was cooked we perfectly Al dente and the sauce didn't overpower the ravioli. It was by far our favorite dish. My friend ordered the fish and scallop filled ravioli which were also good but I liked mine more. We didn't get an appetizer so we were still a little hungry after so we shared the bolognese. This was my second favorite. The pasta shape was perfect to absorbe the sauce which was delicious!! For dessert we went for the Ferrero roche gelato! Wow! I was impressed by the little bits of hazelnut in the ice cream it was the perfect way to end the meal. If you are craving authentic Italian this is your spot! read more

My absolute FAVORITE Italian restaurant (seriously, have not found anything better than Pasta And)!! I've been coming here for about 8.5 years (anywhere from several times a week, to once a month, now to every couple months when I am home to visit); the quality, consistency, and authenticity of the food, along with the spectacular service has never wavered. You would never think to randomly stop at this little hole-in-the-wall restaurant as you drive by, as it's in a small shopping center in Margate, next to a Papa John's and 7-11. But the inside is cozy, beautiful, classy, and upscale; you will be pleasantly surprised. The service is always top notch- they are attentive and friendly, make great suggestions (for both food and wine), and really make you feel part of the family (whether you've been there twice or fifty times). Chef Luigi will always come around to see how your dinner was, and his son GianMarco will always greet you and check in on you as well! Their menu is based on northern Italian dishes (Piedmont region), all the pasta is made from scratch daily, and they source a lot of their ingredients from local shops (like their bread). Although I have tried several dishes throughout the years that I have loved (their seasonal white truffle menu is exquisite), my favorite appetizers are the burrata with prosciutto and the gnocchi alla romana. The gnocchi alla romana is hands-down my favorite Italian dish (sometimes I just order a few of them to have as my main meal). The texture of the 4 cheese gnocchi is spongey and soft, not dense, and melts in your mouth. The sauce over them is peppery, thick, and rich in flavor. ORDER THESE, they do not disappoint!!!!! My favorite main dish is always the ravioli; both the pear (and cheese) and the porcini mushroom (and black truffle sauce) dishes are mouth-watering. The pasta is always cooked to a perfect al dente, the stuffing to pasta ratio is just right, and they are always seasoned perfectly. For wine lovers- they have an extensive list of wines and a sommelier to point you in the right direction. The shot of limoncello on the way out is always a great way to end the night. Amazing experience and even more amazing food! Note- Pasta And is busy most nights of the week so make sure you make a reservation! Also, they are not open on Mondays!! read more

Was in Florida visiting family who frequently eat here. A great experience. The food was superb. Excellent service. Luigi and his crew bring you the very best in authentic Northern Italian cuisine. The wine list is world class and the waiter takes the time to explain each bottle presented that go with the meal. All the pastas are home made. I had the cannelloni stuffed with veal in an amazing cream sauce. For dessert was a home made gelato (chocolate and pistachio) that will knock your socks off. I shall return. Highly recommend! read more

My husband and I have been here twice. Reservations are a must! It's a very small upscale restaurant in an unsuspecting strip mall sitting next to a 7-11 and a Papa Johns. This is the best Italian food I've ever had in south Florida. Service is excellent and all the staff are very attentive. For appetizers we had the gnocchi. For the entres we had the lasagna, bolognese, and mushroom ravioli. For dessert we had the homemade tiramisu. Delicious food and slightly pricey but very well worth the money. read more

Pasta And - Tiramisu - Italian Near Me - Margate, Florida

Former Yelp Eliter, and still huge foodie. One word to describe our experience - M'eh. Much of the Parkland and Boca community was ranting about this place, and coming from a food enclave in Washington, D.C. we were assured this would measure up to the best. The place is tucked away in a small strip mall off a main road and decorated with empty crate boxes. Pass on sitting outside - the cars driving by are fairly loud. Inside the decor is great and inviting, decent job on vibing out. Overall, no complaints or major things that stuck out - really slightly at or above average for the cuisine. We ordered the ossobuco, cacio e pepe, a glass of reasonably priced wine, and a small app. The major complaint is what is being provided is substantially overpriced given the location and what's being served. Our bill after tax and tip was $160 and honestly, you can duplicate the menu at or higher quality for $100-$125 around the area. (Search for any northern italian places on yelp). As a warning, if you get a loud table next to you- it is deafening. Not sure the solution here, but it was bad. We unfortunately got stuck not only next to a loud table but one that was effectively yelling and screaming, which was even more amplified by the poor acoustics. The exec chef and manager didn't seem to care and participated with them - although you could see the discomfort in several tables. Wait staff was great and attentive overall. I was hoping for some creativity, to be blown away, and or just really leave impressed - nothing. Pretty standard, expensive, fare. Wife echoed sentiments. Glad we tried, won't be back. read more

This restaurants represents an authentic "walk" through Italy. By far, the restaurant that better represents Italian traditions and quality in South Florida. Cozy and elegant environment, great wine selection, amazing menu, welcoming and skilled staff. I definitely recommend it to anyone who visits this area and to any Italian who wants to taste again traditional Italian flavors. read more

Excellent food and service, cozy ambience, but small portions and very expensive. We left hungry.

One of the best italian restaurants in South Florida. Most of the other do not come even close. Its in a strip mall with a 7 eleven but dont let that turn you off. Reservations strongly recommended as people were being turned away without one. We started with the vitello tonato and it was delicious. Then the osso buco milanese and ravioli cacio e pepe. Both dishes were phenomenal. The tiramisu is also one of the best we have had read more
