Everything about this place was amazing! The service, the food, the ambience; everything was a solid 10 out of 10. My vodka sauce parm sandwich just melted in my mouth. It was so fresh and so comforting. Truly, I will be coming back to this place again in the future. This place is definitely not recognized enough for having it all. Well, only one small complaint about the cannolis. We were little disappointed that it wasn't filled all the way through, however, the texture and favor were great. Still would give this place a 10 out of 10! :) read more

Tl;dr everything is served to-go and I'd go for the thicker noodles and heavier flavors like the white sauces. ===== Stopped by and tried the cavatelli florentina and the pappardelle bolognese with mushrooms. Even though we selected "dine in" on the tablet, everything came packaged up and in a bag with plastic utensils, which was sad. Hopefully one day they embrace reusable cutlery and tableware. Or at least don't ask a question when the answer is ignored. The pappardelle was extremely disappointing. Noodles were too soft and the sauce was very bland. Since the pasta is in a takeout container, the problem is exacerbated for the noodles at the bottom since they can't air out at all. Would not order this again. In comparison the cavatelli was a flavor bomb. Very garlicky and good amount of sun dried tomato, and just miles above the pappardelle in the flavor department. Texture of the cavatelli was better too, and much closer to al dente. Chicken seemed a teeny bit old and tough. If I came back, I'd probably order this again, or a different white sauce, with thicker pasta shapes. The inside is pretty nice with a good number of 4-seater tables and some bar seating facing the window. They also had some interesting sandwich and dessert options I didn't try. I appreciated the self-serve water. This is a very casual restaurant, so do not expect any table service. Maybe this is on roughly the same level or a little lower as the Vapiano's that used to be in Chicago (food-wise, loses ambiance-wise) if you order right, but it's definitely not as good as the Vapiano's in Europe. At least, not currently. Very convenient location right by the Morgan green line. Would I visit again? Hard to say. read more

We were in the area nearby and decided to try out Pasta Via since the concept seemed interesting. You can customize the pasta, sauce, and toppings or choose from one of their signature pastas. I went with the cheese and spinach ravioli with pesto sauce and shared the cavatelli florentina (cavatelli, spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, grilled chicken) with hubby. We were expecting portions to be small so we decided to order an extra pasta to share but it wasn't necessary. Hubby had the gnocchi with garlic olive oil sauce and meatballs. We both liked our own dishes but both of them seemed more on the oily side. I had the cavatelli florentina at home the next day and it reheated up nicely. I think it was better than the ravioli and there was more of it than the ravioli. read more

I ordered at a kiosk after the lunch rush - to go. A sandwich and a soup took well over 20 mins. They ran out of a soup and said they had another kind almost ready and would only be a few mins. I accepted the substitution but wouldn't have if I knew it would take so long. I was almost late for a meeting trying to eat beforehand. The lentil soup was good - but I had to eat it off camera during my meeting that I couldn't attend in person because of how long the order took. (Can you tell my frustration?) I didn't eat the sandwich just yet because I was in back to back meetings - but will tomorrow. Hopefully it redeems itself. In the future I will reconsider what they have ready on hand or could prepare quicker. read more

A charming little pasta takeout spot that serves their dishes in fun Chinese-style boxes. It's a neat concept, and the inside of the place has a cute, cozy vibe. You order at a self-service kiosk, and they prepare your pasta fresh right in front of you. It comes with a very small slice of bread. That said, I did find it a bit on the pricey side. Each topping costs extra, and for about $15 (no extra toppings), my box was only about half full. The pasta tasted great--definitely delicious and quite authentic--but the portion size might not be filling enough for a standard adult meal. I really wanted this to become a go-to spot, but given the portion size and the added costs, it's a bit steep for what you get. Still, it's a tasty option if you're looking to splurge a little on some fresh pasta. read more

Let me say I was skeptical of eating pasta from a "Chinese box". Street metered parking that's difficult to find but the food was much better than I expected. Price range $-$$ the more toppings the more it cost. No alcohol. I ordered shirt pasta rigatoni with arrabuata (spicy) sauce with garlic and added Italian sausage crumbles. It was a good potion (7oz) and was packed with good flavor. I honestly was shocked because some sauces lack substance and flavor. The service was with a kiosk...I would have preferred something that walked me through the process of ordering as I had never been there. I didn't take too long to finish but I'm glad no one was behind me. The setting is cute inside kinda eat your food and go vibe. The art is cute inside and the walls speak to the Italian theme of the restaurant. I liked the complimentary salt, pepper sides, Parmesan, and olive oil sides. I would return. read more

The convenience is clutch and the flavors are on point. Exactly what my family needs living in the west loop. I've got 3 little children to feed and they gobbled up the butter noodles and alfredo. I got the ravioli and my husband got the rigatoni bartucci. All were delicious and filling. Found our new go-to spot for Italian! read more

For what it is, well exceeded expectations! Will certainly be back! When I think of fast food pasta the only thing that comes to mind is Noodles and Co. so going in, I didn't have a lofty expectation. However, the pasta was fantastic and changed my view on what to-go pasta is. The manager was really kind and the food came out in around 10 minutes. I got a spinach, mushroom, and rigatoni marinara which was a pretty large portion even for a guy who eats quite a bit. They didn't skimp on anything in the pasta and the noodles were cooked actually perfectly and were certainly homemade. I'm extremely impressed and excited to go back! read more

JR hooked it up with one of the best vodka chicken parm panino I've had definitely try it when you're around Fulton

It's just not good pasta. And I've had bad pasta. Bad pasta is fine if it's cheap but even this is overpriced.

When I think of to-go pasta the first, and only, thing to come to mind is noodles and company. So I wasn't really sure what to expect when my fiancé and I stopped in for lunch. But I was pleasantly surprised about what we got. The pasta was really well cooked for being "to-go" styled and will definitely keep us coming back. The manager was super friendly and helped us out with ordering at the kiosk. It took somewhere around 15-20 minutes to get our food so if you're looking for "fast food" this might not be the place. read more

Absolutely loved this pasta spot! Had a work lunch-in conference and put in a custom order for a group of 10 of us and wow did this not disappoint! The pasta was fresh, falvorful, and perfectly cooked! One of my favorite things is how they package everything in those convenient ready-to-go Chinese-style boxes, super easy to carry and eat from which made it so easy to eat from our desks while on our calls and take what we wanted home! Great portions, amazing taste and everyone was talking about how we havent ordered this spot sooner! We will be back, or regulars lets be honest! Thank you Pasta Via! read more

Not sure if it was the warmth of the staff or the food I should talk about first. As a small business owner myself I really appreciated the approach I believe was the owner to take the time to give his recommendations to our daughter as well as ourselves. THIS is what makes me remember and want to talk about places like this to whoever will listen. The food was amazing. I even really liked the take out bag. Please do yourself a favor as well for this place, support this business if you care about that sort of thing these days. Good environment. An owner who cares. Good food and a nice surprise to our day. And who doesn't like unexpected surprises in their day. Can't wait to go back. read more

From the moment you walk into Pasta Via, the environment is just amazing. Everything is super clean, the decoration is stunning (as a soccer crazy fan I really appreciate the art), and it feels so warm and welcoming. Pasta Via is truly my dream come true, a place where you get luxury-level, restaurant-quality pasta without having to sit down for a long meal. It's fast, fresh, and so satisfying. You get to choose exactly what you want and enjoy a healthy, delicious meal in minutes. It honestly doesn't get better than that. Everything looked so good that it was hard to decide what to order. The pasta, the veggies, just all of it looked so fresh and perfectly made. I also had such a great experience with the staff they were kind, fast, and very attentive. I'll definitely be coming back many times!! read more

A lunchtime gem with an Italian flair. As soon as you step inside, you are greeted by the irresistible aroma of simmering sauce and fresh herbs. I ordered the vodka pasta, which arrived perfectly sauced and full of bright, fresh flavor. The restaurant's sugane immediately set it apart: the logo features the iconic Italian hand gesture, a playful and memorable touch that reflects the personality of the space. The setting area is spacious and inviting, with warm-toned lighting that creates a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. Upbeat and energizing music rounded out the experience with a lively vibe. I'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu! read more

Pasta Via - me eating the pasta - Italian Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

We went here on a whim during a snow storm, and were pleasantly surprised. It's kind of a no frills Italian restaurant, but the food we had was good, and of obviously a good quality. It has kind of a fast food look and vibe to it. When you enter, you place your order on a screen, which was easy enough, and you can customize your order. Our food was made to order. We had spaghetti with bolognese sauce, and a meatball sandwich. Both items were substantial portions, and really good. read more

Pasta was chewy and the sauce was coagulated. Too many other great pasta places in this city to waste any money at Pasta Via

It took a lot longer than expected to get my food. I was in a hurry and politely asked to cancel my order after 30 minutes. They said they were already making it, so I said okay and as I walked away to continue waiting I was mocked by another pasta maker. He kept staring at me and laughing, as if what I said was unreasonable. It felt horrible. I could understand this treatment towards a Karen but I'm always polite. I won't be going back. read more
