    carbonara
    Andrea N.

    i waited around 15 minutes for a table for 1 without a reservation and it was worth it! the texture of the pasta was absolutely perfect. it's clearly fresh as they say, and every mouthful was very satisfying. the only thing was that i would've like the sauce to have a bit more flavor to it, it did need some salt and pepper. regardless, i finished it all. would come back again if i come back to prague!

    Heard about this place on TikTok and it did not disappoint! We couldn't get a reservation but we only waited about 30 minutes as a walk-in. They don't have any sort of text-to-wait system, so we all just kindof waited in a line in the foyer until it was our turn (the line kept moving!) We had the Burrata cheese with pepper panzanella and the grilled prawns with chilli and garlic aioli for starters, then two pasta dishes-- the Tagliatelle with black truffle and butter (lighter one) and the Spaghetti alla chitarra amatriciana with tomatoes, guanciale, chilli and pecorino cheese. Then for dessert I had the Vanilla ice cream with pistachio nuts and milk chocolate (this was everything I wanted and MORE). If you're in Prague, I'm sure you're not thinking to yourself "OH YES, I NEED PASTA," but everything we ate was really good. Probably our best meal in Prague that we had and super affordable!

    Walking in! Long line

    Long lines but awesome food! Worth to stay 30-40 min in a waiting line. Friendly staff! Very clean

    Carbonara. Waited for so long for this to come.

    Waiter was rude. He literally raised his voice because my daughter told him her drink order first. He expected her to order the main course first maybe? He kind of rolled his eyes and uttered "for your main course"?! I did not know there was a set sequence to placing our order. For some reason, we noticed the following: 1) our order took a long time to come. Our neighboring tables got their orders fast. 2) we were not offered water. All the other tables had water. So we asked for water after we ate dessert only to find out we had to pay for it. At least we got water. Food: My daughter's pasta carbonara was ok. She ate my pesto (also ok but relatively better) and we "took" her pasta back to the hotel. It's supposedly a pasta place. Tiramisu was a bit off. Ambiance: the person who received us was very kind and friendly. Thank for that part. Made the first part of our experience wonderful. On our way out, I saw him helping guests with their coats. Beautiful soul!

    Best pasta in town. Everything was authentic and fresh. Beautiful restaurant located in the cellar of the building but still very spacious. The place is very popular, you will probably need a reservation. We shared the bruschetta which was phenomenal and the ricotta tortellino, delicious. Highly recommend

    Pasta Fresca is a great place to go if you're looking for good Italian food and fresh pasta in Prague. There's a large downstairs seating area that you wouldn't expect when you walk in. You walk through the kitchen prep area to get to the dining area, and it looks so cool! I really love the ambiance of the restaurant. From the start, our service wasn't great though. It took a while after being seated to even get menus. Our server eventually took our order, and we didn't see her the rest of the evening unless we gestured to her. Someone else brought out our food, and we gestured to her when we wanted to order dessert and after dinner drinks. Finally, a completely different server noticed we were finished and sitting unattended to, so he checked in on us then brought our check. The food was delicious. I love homemade pasta, and the cannelloni was amazing! I didn't love the panna cotta or the limoncello spritz though. I'd definitely recommend a visit, but suggest getting dessert elsewhere.

    The best food on our trip. Quality ingredients and dishes. The fresh bread was so delicious too. The service was amazing and friendly. Hidden gem!

    Best food I had in Prague!! It was recommended by a colleague that stumbled upon it during our work trip. In 2 days, he came to this establishment THREE times. Not pictured are our starters which included prosciutto with cantaloupe and bruschetta toast. The prosciutto melted in your mouth and the cantaloupe was the perfect sweetness. The grape tomatoes in the bruschetta was so fresh with the most flavorful herby filled olive oil. The pastas were the absolute best dishes with the perfect amount to eat. As an American, we are so used to big dishes. These are definitely smaller than our norm, but truthfully all we needed! It was filling and quite affordable. I'm pretty sure the pasta was all house made as well! We made a comment to the host that it was the best pasta we ever had and he mentioned that the sous chef isn't even Italian (he's Czech!). This place was packed. We didn't have a reservation, but the host was able to seat us pretty quickly given gaps in the reservation system. He was very welcoming and worked his magic to accommodate us. While he did seat us, the space itself was small and right at the entrance of the restaurant. If you're claustrophobic, this might not be the spot for you. Though, if you book a reservation, you could be seated in a more comfortable area unlike us. Service was rather slow, but that might be my judgement as an American. It was very slow, but did allow for my food to digest between dishes. The quality and flavor of the food makes up for the tight space and slow service. Definitely worth the trip if you are looking for some pasta while in Prague. I could eat there everyday!

    Black truffle tagliatelle
    Liz T.

    Delish, easy, great service, and great ambience. A hidden gem that I would not have found normally- thanks to the honest tour guides YouTube I was able to enjoy a wonderful pasta lunch in the city center! The food was amazing and the service was so speedy! The appetizers came out almost instantly after we ordered! The fresh focaccia bread had a light seasoning that made me want to eat more just to appreciate the baked good. The carpaccio was a bit thicker than I'm used to but nonetheless still fresh and great. The pasta - it really was the star of the show fresh and light but still rich and tasty! I also had a nice lemonade house made not sweet and a ginger tea and tiramisu- I can't wait to return to this little gem!

    This restaurant has a small lunch menu that seems to change every day. The two main dishes on the menu day we went there were Spaghetti with Sea Bass, Tomatoes, Garlic and White Wine, and Grilled Rump Steak with Green Pepper Sauce, Green Pea Pods and Roasted Potatoes. Both were very tasty and priced reasonably. We would have gone back to the restaurant for dinner the next day if we had not learnt that the same owner had another restaurant that got a Michelin Bib Gourmand rating.

    Lasagna Ragout!
    Danny C.

    The review is a little late. Nonetheless this place was pretty awesome! We got seated pretty quickly. The wait staff was super cool, and the food was yum yum yummy! You cannot for wrong! Great food, and a decent price too!

    This pasta was not good. I don't know what happened. They should not be soon as good italian pasta. It was an okay meal.

    Haili A.

    Best restaurant we tried in Prague! From the appetizers to the entrees everything was so flavorful. We were really lucky to get in last minute because this place is usually booked. I highly recommend visiting this place when in Prague if you are looking for some delicious and authentic Italian food!

    Burrata, absolutely delicious!

Imagine the elation a few days later when someone in our group booked a dinner reservation for us at the same place I was regretting having missed! With a group of a dozen of us, I think someone ordered everything on the menu. We were all thrilled. We had appetizers , cocktails and entrees -- everything we had was great!
