Stopped here for a Sunday dinner while in the city for a long weekend. I was in between here and another place but here seemed a little more focused on quality pasta so I booked it. Located in the Union Square area, we took the subway here and it was a short walk from the subway exit. We were sat in the rear of the place but I noticed it gave me sushi place vibes with a high top bar area for place setting seating as well as tables. We put in bruschetta and meatballs as starters. The bruschetta was good but the bread was hard as a rock. Way over toasted for me- I like to have more give when you bite into the crust of the toasted bread. Still good. Meatballs were solid as well - thinner red sauce than I would like but still very good. For my entree, I ordered the cacio e Pepe which was served with tonnarelli pasta (spaghetti to me). Flavor was very good - a little extra sauce like I prefer, and just a very good pasta dish. I ordered the amaretto cheesecake for dessert which was really disappointing as a cheesecake person - it was more of a flan, non-bake small puck-shaped item, and I really didn't taste amaretto at all, served with raspberry puree also didn't help. Still good, just not what I expected. We had a waitress who was very nice, she admitted her English wasn't the best but she still was nice and attentive. Would recommend here. read more

I liked this place pretty well. Comfortable and real italian even that you could order pastas to go and cook at home. Real deal italian. Bruschetta was a little hard but the taste was good. The veal meatball were fabulous. The sauce on those tasted so good. I ordered something new called pasta guisto. I liked it and it reminded me of my grandmas chipped beef gravy a little but obviously way better. Same premise though. For some reason, their diet coke was the good kind. The lava cake was the perfect size and didnt leave you feeling obese after eating a full italian meal. Only thing that was difficult to navigate was the table size for the things we ordered as well as the staff literally rolling full outdoor trashcans through the eating area as our food was literally being brought over from the open kitchen window. Our server was kind and all people asked how everything was and thanked us for coming in. The food was also served fast, too. read more

We were invited in by the owner, who was helping a woman in with her stroller when he saw us checking the place out from the sidewalk. We got glasses of wine, mezzelune, and pesto gnocchi. My girlfriend's enjoyed her mezzelune, but my gnocchi were a revelation. The softest, pillowiest gnocchi I've ever eaten, they dissolved in my mouth. We got a pistachio mousse for dessert (delightful) and finished our wine. I'm impressed. I'll be back. read more

I was at this popular Italian spot known for its homemade pasta a while ago with a larger group. The same group had been there before, and apparently, the first time, the food was a lot better. However, I still enjoyed my meal for the most part, with the pasta quality in general being very nice, though I found some of the food a tad salty. This is even coming from someone who doesn't usually mind slightly oversalted food, and some people found some of the pasta inedible. The prices were high as expected, as it's Flatiron, but the portion sizes made up for it. It was a bit loud inside as the tables were a bit cramped, but I still had an enjoyable experience. The service was very friendly, with, I believe, one of the owners coming around to many of the tables speaking Italian. They brought out some bread, which is a thoughtful gesture and common in most Italian spots, though less necessary here, as we were going to be sharing a whole lot of carbs soon. It was still good quality garlic bread, and the olive oil was nice as well. To drink, I had a Negroni, but one that's not currently on the menu. It featured one of my favorite amari, Vecchio Amaro del Capo, and I believe it was called the Capo or similar and had bitters along with something else. I remember liking it, and it was presumably around $18, like most of their cocktails. Soon, a bunch of our dishes arrived. My favorite was easily the $32 Garganelli With Lamb, which had a well-flavored ragù. I also liked how the meat wasn't fully cooked down, so there was still some texture. The pasta perfectly soaked up the rich and tasty sauce. The other ragù of the night was a dish that was listed as a monthly special, but now appears to be on the menu permanently. This was the Cacao Fettuccine And Duck for $30 with duck ragù, orange zest, and rosemary. The pasta had a brownish-black color, close to but not exactly as black as let's say a spaghetti al nero. The bit of orange zest and rosemary added a uniquely mild bitterness and herbal flavor. I found the ragu otherwise a bit less flavored, but it was still good, and I would recommend it. The signature dish of the place is the $29 Pasta Guisto, listed as tagliatelle prepared and served in a little wheel of parmigiano & topped with crispy prosciutto. This dish has a fun tableside presentation, and there were plenty of people all around ordering this and taking photos or videos of the preparation. The dish itself was creamy, rich, and a tad salty. I liked that the prosciutto was crispy, as it added a nice crunch. There was also the Casoncelli for $29.00, listed as homemade veal ravioli with crispy speck and guanciale filling with sage and butter sauce. The filling had a bit of saltiness, but not too much for me, at least. The dish was a bit rich overall, but I still liked it to an extent. My least favorite was the Ravioli Al Baccala for $27.00, listed as homemade ravioli stuffed with cod fish in Livornese sauce with garlic, olives, capperi, tomato sauce, and oregano. This was a bit more artful with a prettier presentation compared to other dishes, but I found it way too salty. The filling reminded me a bit of a puttanesca, outside of the mashed cod. This was alright with some, but others disliked it. I would give more descriptions of all these dishes, but everything outside of the duck ragu wasn't the most interestingly flavored. The pasta was perfectly cooked, so if you're looking for a fun spot with perfectly cooked pasta and friendly service, I would recommend this place. However, there are other spots if you want more unique Italian food at a similar price point. I would also stick with the ragus, as mentioned. read more

We had the best experience at Pasta Eater - the food, experience, and people were all chef's kiss amazing! My friend and I came in with our 4 boys and they couldn't have been more accommodating and kind. Francesca was the sweetest waitress and the kids loved her. She went out of her way to check on us and make sure we had everything we needed. They also brought a special dessert for our 2 year old's birthday! The pasta was soooo yummy; all the picky eaters loved it! Highly recommend the eggplant appetizer and meatballs, along with anything pasta! We will be coming back! read more

this place was pretty good. I had the spaghetti Pomodoro. I ate everything and it was delicious. Their bread is also very good too with olive oil. I have to say service was a little slow this day but not too bad. I also felt like the menu was a little overpriced for me. It's hard to find Italian food that doesn't cost $25 or $30 a plate. Maybe I just picked the wrong place but I would probably come back if I was in the area. read more

Service and friendliness of the staff was very welcoming. Their kale Caesar salad was absolutely delicious. I also ordered the frito misto which was very good too. The rest of my party ordered pasta dishes which were prepared with great attention however there was too much saltiness to the dishes. I would go back there and give them another chance but I suggest that you ask your server if what you ordered is either spicey or salty. You should be forewarned read more

Super friendly staff who are knowledgeable about the menu and very kind. The place was very clean and decorated well. It was very cool to see pasta being made behind the counter. Large portions and sauce I could drink from a cup. I preferred my vodka sauce pasta to my husbands red meat sauce, but both were good. The pasta itself was fresh and had a stunning texture. We also enjoyed mini cannolis to finish off our meal. read more

Have been wanting to eat here for ages and finally made it in. Was relatively easy to get a Saturday reservation in mid April. Don't recommend getting a dirty martini but the wine was fine. Appetizers and pasta were good and the free cannolis were incredible. I don't normally enjoy cannolis and I ate the whole thing. Service was kind of slow and music was really loud but overall the experience was enjoyable and the prices were good for NYC. read more

A pleasant eatery that is very much "hole-in-the-wall" vibes. I ordered the arancini riceballs which were quite flavorful and the marinara sauce on top wasn't too sweet which I always appreciate. For my entree, I got a specialty pasta in a lamb ragu sauce with orange zest. While lamb isn't for everyone, it added a new dimension of flavor to the dish and wasn't too gamey in nature. Pasta was well cooked and sauce was tasty. Service was great as well. They consistently checked up on the table to ensure everything was good and we had everything we needed. If you're in the neighborhood and looking for a hearty Italian meal in a less formal setting, this is definitely a place I'd recommend. You definitely get a good portion for the price and a huge selection. read more

All the pasta is great here. A nice selection of dishes you do not always find on the typical menu. Arancini was nice and the mini cannoli was good. Very friendly staff and owner. Could use some help with the AC but not too bad. read more

I really wanted to love this place. My friend had raved about it. The staff were all Italian and the pastas are handmade. The bread and olive oil was tasty and the olive oil was rich and flavorful. The pastas are handmade, but the only one we loved was pasta guisto -which is their signature dish however the pancetta made it very salty We did not like codfish ravioli, casoncelli, cacao fettuccine, garagenelli with lamb. The pasta were perfectly cooked, but the dishes did not execute on flavor, profiles, balance. I might go back and try a few other dishes (friends like the BUCATINI AMATRICIANA and papperdelle), which we did not order )but overall was not impressed. My friends did like the alcoholic drinks they had. Otherwise, it is good for large parties, but I cannot recommend it based on the food we ate read more

I've been wanting to try this place forever, and I was in the area and finally got the chance to do so. The Good: * Pasta is handmade, you can watch in the front window as pasta is cut and shaped into different varieties. * Nice wine selection, Montepulciano wine was very good * Clean interior, attentive and friendly staff I only tried two pastas, Pasta Giusto, tagliatelle tossed in a parm wheel and mixed with crispy prosciutto. My friend got the Tagliatelle with porcini and black truffle sauce. So I can't speak to the full menu, but I fully enjoyed the Pasta Giusto. Sauce was thick, and prosciutto abundant. I don't really enjoy prosciutto on charcuterie boards, but having it crispy in this situation where it was cooked was absolutely delicious. 10/10. The OK: * The tagliatelle was a little bland to me. It definitely had a mushroom flavor that came through more than the truffle, but it just seemed to be missing something. * A bit pricey read more

Came here for a late-ish lunch (after 1pm) of sorts during a weekday. This was sort of a work-ish lunch for me (met my fiancée's boss!) The crowds were fairly minimal so it was easy to get seating. Contrary to what the name may assume, there are more items than just pasta. The paninis looked tempting, until my fiancée told me those were going to be super huge. Therefore, I stuck with the namesake pasta for my experience. The mac and cheese tempted me, but I stuck with another traditional item: penne vodka. First, the bread was addicting. Very soft and fresh. The pasta arrived quickly afterwards. You could tell it was fresh and homemade. It was tasty and it didn't make me feel super heavy afterwards. No regrets on my side. If the pasta wasn't enough, we got ourselves some dessert. We split a mousse that had pistachio and almonds. Not a bad choice. Overall, a solid place to grab some pasta. Not necessarily my first choice, but a good one nonetheless. read more

This place was recommended for their fresh, hand made pasta and great service. I decided to give them a try and chose to sit at the bar. I was greeted right away and asked whether I wanted sparkling or still. That's still something I have to get used to every time I come to NY! I had already seen the menu online but wasn't aware of the drinks. Unbeknownst to me, they have two happy hours, so I def took advantage. I chose the pistachio martini for my first drink but ended up not caring for it. I then chose a regular Cosmo and was satisfied. They gave me bread and oil and I chose the kale Caesar to start and the fusilli pesto as my main. The bread and oil were ok. I was a little disappointed the bread was cold as most bread service I'm used to was hot. Fortunately, the oil more than made up for it as it was fresh. The kale Caesar was pretty good but I was surprised when I tasted spinach and NOT kale. It wasn't bad but had a ton of dressing. Shortly after finishing, my fusili arrived. I savored each bite of pesto and each bite was better than the next. I asked for my check in Italian and that's where the real fun began. I'm unsure if it's standard, but they gave me a shot of limoncello and a small cannoli. The shot hit the spot and gave me a jolt of energy that I was missing. The cannoli was the perfect size; not too big, not too small but just right. I ended up calling my friend who's Italian because he's Napolitano and one of the guys working there was too. All in all, the service and food couldn't have been better. I throughly enjoyed my visit and can't wait to come back! read more

This place grabbed me in from social media posts. A little hard to get a reservation so took what I was able to get -1 PM. Ambiance is nothing special. A narrow long space with counter seats available. Tiny tables for 2. Started with a pistachio martini which was so good I wanted to guzzle it. My friend had the apple salad and I had the baby kale salad. Nice presentation but it was a little too oily. Also shared Gamberi shrimp appetizer. Better bring gum because it was soooooo garlicky but delicious clean shrimp. My main was lasagna. His was rigatoni carbonara. I never send anything back but I'm eating the lasagna and it either didn't have noodles or they were so soft it just melded together with all the other ingredients. The waiter told me that fresh made lasagna noodles don't have that chew that other pastas have , so back it went and I got bucatini which was delicious and had that al dente chew that I was looking for. We were busting full at this point but onward and upward to desert!! Tiramisu it was with 2 complimentary cannolis which were amazing. If you eat as much as we did , expect a large bill. Ours was $169. A bit much for pasta. (Including tip) The pasta is delicious and home made. read more

Love this restaurant! This place reminds me of restaurants I frequented during my travels in Italy. The place is well decorated, clean and great for date night, business meal or just a casual meal with friends. The wait staff is friendly, well trained, knowledgeable and incredibly attentive. I've eaten here twice and both were memorable. First time with my daughter. We ate the squid ink pasta with clams and the pappardelle with wild boar ragu which was as tasty as that prepared by my favorite restaurant in Torino, Italy. Both were delicious and incredibly prepared. My next visit to Pasta Eater I took my daughter plus four cousins. We decided to order six different pastas and created our own tasing menu. All of the pastas were incredible and loved by everyone. Overall, this will be my go to restaurant for pasta in NYC. Cheers! read more

I'm embarrassed and disappointed that I took my partner here to celebrate his birthday. Service was rushed, the food was served lukewarm, and we saw our waitress twice during the entirety of our visit. The first time we came to Pasta Eater was on a weekday when the food was served hot and the service was friendly. But on Saturdays, the restaurant seems to be at war with their patrons in which the front of house are indifferent soldiers resigned to their deaths. Our waitress was slow and unbothered, it looked like she was reprimanded by the front of house manager which only made her more inefficient at her job. Our pasta giusto came out lukewarm. The biggest slap in the face was seeing other tables getting visibly steaming tagliatelle while our tagliatelle was not. One of the busboys who made the pasta in the pasta wheel was nice of enough to refill our water... then left with our water canister leaving us without water for the second half of our night. It was obvious the restaurant was understaffed. My partner and I ordered a tiramisu, which we meticulously picked at knowing that the staff would find a way to kick us out if we finished our dessert fast. Even worse, the waitress tried to take our unfinished dessert without warning. My partner was so horrified he urged me to use the bathroom to get ready to leave. The last straw was when the staff started singing happy birthday for another customer while we sat at our table dumbfounded by the nonexistent service and lukewarm pasta we were served. While no birthday song could've fixed our experience, the fact that we didn't get one after what we experienced was egregious. So if you're celebrating a birthday on a weekend and you're anything but Italian, run far away. Spend the extra money and go to Rezdora or Ammazzacafe, where they'll treat you like human beings and serve you great food every day of the week. read more

I recently dined here with my husband for our anniversary. We made reservations through OpenTable and good thing we did since this place was popping with patrons. I saw them on my feed from the Pasinis on social media and we had to come see what this place offered. The restaurant itself is tastefully decorated. Fresh pasta being made everyday in front of house. We started with some of their house Pinot Grigio and the buratta appetizer served with sliced sweet grape tomatoes and a pesto sauce. Wow we loved how refreshing this dish was. The combination was the perfect bite. It was also great spreading some on the fresh focaccia bread they gave for the table. For the mains my husband got the lasagna and I got their signature dish- pasta giusto. The lasagna was perfect. It had a nice robust tomato sauce and had layers of pasta that was so soft and delicate. A dish I would consider getting next time myself. The pasta giusto was a show itself. It's finished table side being tossed in a wheel of parmigiano and crispy prosciutto. For me it was a little on the salty side for me because of the prosciutto. There were generous portions, so I took the leftovers home. Dessert we had shared the Nutella tiramisu and the cannolis. The cannolis had a nice crisp shell with the creme which truly shined being smooth and light. The tiramisu was super creamy and just the right balance and great ending to the meal. Definitely will be back in the future. read more

The eatery is pretty small - make sure to make reservations during holiday time. In a regular day/time period you should be able to get in just fine. Since the venue is small, the tables are close together too. You'll no doubt hear other conversations. The service was excellent and found them to be very attentive. I went with a group of friends and decided to get something on the much lighter side - peach salad. While it was very good, I think they could have offered a little more lettuce. I did get to try the Parpadelle and found it to be very good - they make the pasta the day of. read more

My friend wanted to try this place so we went. I got the tagliatelle with mushrooms and truffles. This was the least flavorful dish I've ever had. The pasta had an overwhelming egg flavor and the sauce was so one dimensional it had taste. I asked for salt but it was so clumpy I didn't want to use it. I asked for Parmesan and for a real Italian restaurant I was expecting actual parm not the powder stuff. I took it home and tried to add some flaky sea salt and real parm but it still wasn't worth the price. My friend got the pasta in the wheel and hers was much better than mine read more

I want to gate keep this place so bad, but I know it won't do this place justice. As a note, I am a big fan of Misi, Lillia, Don Angie, Piccola Cucina, and Forma Pasta (not a fan of Torrisi). My partner and I know real pasta is cooked el-denté with no heavy cream or cream. Also, we can taste quality pasta by texture and color vs. heavily industrialized Barilla (specifically, we avoid buying bright yellow pasta that has had the cooling process sped up). The portions here were very generous with the actual pasta and chunks of Guanciale in our amatricianna and carbonara pastas. The pastas were perfectly el-dente and we loved the handmade concept where some of the pasta pieces were imperfect. But really, the lunch special for $45 a person was priced extremely reasonably for a NYC Manhattan restaurant with handmade pasta and family style appetizers. Taste wise, the flavors were authentic Italian and validated by my 100% Italian partner. We had to be careful to pace ourselves on the bread with olive oil, calamari, meatballs, charcuterie, and pastas. Very satisfied and we got our moneys worth! Will definitely return and recommend to friends, family, and colleagues. read more

What an amazing experience! My wife & I have brunch reservations but arrived early. We're greeted by Luddo (sorry!) who I'm assuming is the owner, he says not to worry and shows us to a two top table. Walking to the table we pass by people making pasta and rolling out ravioli?? Be still my heart.. The restaurant entrance is on the lower level so be aware if any guests have challenges. Parking garages are everywhere, not a problem. To start, We ordered Insalata di Piere as well as a meat & Cheese board. The poached pears and toasted walnuts were a fantastic addition to the salad. The small meat board had great cuts of various meats: Speck, mortadella and a wonderful dark salami. The cheese was mild and paired nicely with all of the meats. The owner comes by to see how we're doing. We tell him we're going to Rome in a few weeks and we're excited to experience everything! He takes out his phone and starts suggesting things we have try. Then, he calls us over to another table and introduces us to a couple from Boston. The gentleman texted me a list of great things to do while in Rome. This must be an Italian thing, we're all in the zone! Now my Mafaldine comes to the table. Squid ink pasta with clams. This dish is mind numbing, shit the front door good! I'm feeling the love from the pasta, the hospitality of the owner and friendly guests, who says New Yorkers have an edge? Best meal and best experience in 2024. read more

Cozy neighborhood eatery specializing in pasta. The food was decent. Service was attentive and food ordered arrived fast.

Even on a Thursday night, this restaurant was certainly busy. The energy in the air felt energetic and fun as a few people sang along to certain songs playing. The conversation level competed against the music. It was a bit difficult to catch a staff member's attention when I was ready to order or ready for a check, but the staff members were efficient as they attended to me. The Rigatoni Carbonara had the juiciest guanciale I've had in a carbonara dish... or ever. The pasta was cooked al dente. I just wish I got a bit more of the pecorino flavor. read more

This place gets a solid 4 stars from me! We came here last night and thank god we made a reservation on resy; it was packed. We were obviously seated right away. We got our menus right away and ordered our drinks. To start we shared the polpette a pomodoro and I had the lasagna while my best friend had the pasta giusto. Everything was delicious! The meatballs were the perfect size, taste and just the right temperature. Both pasta dishes were amazing. My lasagna was meaty and saucy; just the way I like it! My best friend's dish was cheesy and had a lot of prosciutto. The only reason I didn't give this place 5 stars was because we felt rushed. We barely finished and they were already removing our dishes. That left a bad taste in my mouth; especially since I'm 8 months pregnant. I don't think I would come back but I did enjoy the food overall. Thank you for having us! read more

I got some takeout from Pasta Eater during their lunch special hours-- love the deal, by the way. Delicious pasta for just $15. Get on that. I got the fusilli with pesto sauce. The pesto sauce was flavorful and creamy but not overpowering, and the fusilli were fatter than they usually are when I boil them from the box, so I knew it was fresh. I was also super impressed by their portions, and my to-go bag came with a side of parmesan AND bread. I was so pleased to see it all when I opened the bag. I will say I had ordered sausage with my pasta, and it didn't come with it, which was disappointing. The only thing was I felt a little awkward when I was waiting for my food. They didn't have a host at the door, so I had to keep trying to make eye contact with the waiters in order to get a menu and get my food ordered and pay the bill, etc. They also didn't invite me to sit down anywhere, so I was kind of awkwardly standing near the door. It was just a weird vibe, probably just for me. The interior is really cute in general, and I could see how a sit-down meal would be really nice. read more

Pasta Eater - Carbonara and Cacio e Pepe. - Italian Near Me - New York, New York

Came here for Saturday lunch, completely unplanned. Everything here is so expensive for what it is. How are the appetizers basically the same price as the main dishes? The restaurant itself seems to be trying to be a mix of fancy and trendy but the decor and maintenance fell short. There are portions of the ceiling that are in need of repair. The spray painted pasta shapes on the ceiling feel out of place. Placemats were thick paper but some were laminated and some weren't which was a little strange. We were the only ones in the restaurant, so the staff was pretty good and looked after us really well, even after some customizations. There was not a long wait, but the dishes came out one at a time, which is awkward in a group. When the food came out, for a $25 price tag per dish, we expected a little bit more in quantity and presentation. At the end of the day, it's just pasta. Nothing to really write home about. read more

Tucked away from the drizzle, we indulged in some truly heartwarming Italian fare. The mussels in cherry tomato and white wine sauce were absolute perfection--fresh, flavorful, and cooked just right. The penne in vodka sauce with smoked scamorza cheese was an unexpected standout; the smoky cheese added a rich twist that elevated the whole dish. Ravioli? A timeless classic that hit all the right notes. Our sweet waitress made the experience even more delightful. Sipped on a refreshing blackberry mojito and a crisp glass of Sauvignon Blanc--both paired beautifully with the meal. Can't wait to come back. The place was lowkey and intimate. read more

I saw this on a YouTube short so, I had to try it! It was near 14th street so train very accessible. I will say this place does not seem wheelchair accessible since you have to go downstairs to access the restaurant and the space is tight. Food: 4/5 We got the family style menu ($45/each) and was it worth it! You basically get 4 full sized apps with your own pasta dishes. So 6 plates for $90/total is a Manhattan deal! These apps are such good quality that I had to stop myself to keep space for my entree. My favorite plates were: - Cold Cut Platter: so many good cheeses and meats - Meatballs with ricotta: so tender and savory Being lactose intolerant, this is not the place for you. But, if you must suffer, this is the perfect place to take some lactose pills to experience. Service: 5/5 I am not going lie, I had a headache that day. So I was not also preppy. However the staff here were so kind and patient with me. They were super fast and gave my partner a great suggestion on which wine to have with his meal. The vibes were super chill and was great way to relax after work. All in all, if you are looking for an Italian experience near Union Square this a place for you!

Great spot for high quality pasta in a casual, cozy setting! Came here on a Sunday night with no reservation and was seated immediately. We ordered the Pasta Giusto and the Ravioli Al Baccala. The Pasta Giusto, which is their signature dish served from a cheese wheel, was sooo deliciously creamy and cheesy -- a must order if you enjoy white sauce pastas! The ravioli was great too, and offered a generous quantity of cod stuffed inside.

My daughter was so excited to go here for her birthday dinner. We had this planned for months. It's a cute little place. It is kinda tight inside but is very nice. We were seated immediately. Our server was nice. We went for the cheese wheel. They do bring out bread and oil before your meal. We ordered 2 pastas, a sprite, a ginger ale, and a lemonade, and the total was a little over $70. The food was good, and they bring out cute little cups for the sodas. They were all $5. I would return because their menu had a lot of great things on it. read more
