Stopped by here for a quick bite for late lunch/early dinner. The space is small but there's a few seats inside. The worker was kind and greeted us upon entering. Was also thoughtful in handing us our orders correctly which was nice. For the food itself I heard good things and was hoping to love it more-- but I think I was slightly disappointed. The flavors aren't so bad overall and if you have a pasta itch it'll scratch. But I've tried other places better at a similar or even cheaper price point with protein added in. I got the "some like it hot" while my friend got "midnight desire" with burrata added in. I paid about 22 for each dish. Now for my thoughts - flavor for "some like it hot" was not bad, sauce was a slight bit watery for my liking. The spice was nice and I liked that part the most. Pasta was "OK". The ravioli was stuck together for some, filling was adequate but, I would've liked a little more. I don't want to sound harsh, but it was all around just an ok spot. Maybe it was just that day. Burrata added is nice, I took mine to go do sadly it was melted on top (recommend to pack the burrata separately for to go orders) - "midnight desire" is basically vodka and the flavor for this one was kind of odd for me. Not the normal vodka I am used to. I personally wouldn't really get it again. It wasn't a bad sauce, just not like vodka I know. Had a slight "bitter(?)" aftertaste from some seasoning I guess. I'm not a pasta connoisseur but I AM Italian and I've tasted a wide ranger of pastas lol-- I think yummy cheese pasta in Hell's Kitchen offers a similar concept, portion but is more filling, diverse options for adding and overall, slightly cheaper. Perhaps I'll give this place another try on another day.. read more

I stopped in for some pasta to go "SOME LIKE IT HOT" with Nduja and ricotta ravioli with tomato sauce and burrata Fyi there is barely any seating inside so I would plan to take it to go. Theres some communal chairs outside nearby of the weather permits. I really enjoyed the ravioli and would go back for other flavors but it is pricey: $20 for a bowl I could finish all in one go. Took about 10 minutes for them to cook it in store read more

I didn't eat here but can't delete this review. I've been trying to on yelp but it won't let me.

I've ordered takeout and delivery from Pastagasm multiple times and they never disappoint. The food is delicious. Hand made noodles and homemade sauces every single day, fresh ingredients and lots of delectable options. The service is always good the cashier is usually a sweet Italian man and they sell Italian sodas and candies in the front as well. I love the way the shop looks it's completely PINK and plush. I will always recommend Pastagasm to others and will always order when I'm in the area read more

Ambiance: small store with design that accurately represented its name Service: Counter order. Fast and was helpful in helping decide order Food: Underwhelming is the best way I can describe the experience. The pasta was overpriced at 20+ for a relatively small bowl that seemed close to grocery store sauce and noodle read more

Great pasta! But a bit pricey considering it is not a fine dining. You would get more food for the same price elsewhere. Pasta itself is very good but sauce is just plain typical sauce and nothing special. But I would say it is a good lunch spot for those working in the office. Their service is quick, and if you don't want to pay tips, this is the place. There are many solo eaters if you always feel awkward to dine out alone. read more

Pastagasm is a cute, small, cozy spot for some cool pastas. They have some seating so that you can eat there. It's not enough for a large group though. They have a nice variety of pastas and sauces with some combinations available as well. My daughter got the plain spaghetti with marinara, she enjoyed it. I got the pistachio pesto ravioli... The pesto had a very interesting flavor, I really liked it. My only complaint was that the raviolis was a small portion compared to the other spaghetti and linguine dishes. The guy at the counter was alright, was pretty quiet and patient, but didn't really offer any insight or suggestions to the menu. Overall, it's not something I'd be dreaming about. read more

Nothing special. I had the "Some like it hot"--ravioli in a spicy tomato sauce, topped with burrata. The pasta is fresh and cooked to a nice al dente, but it still felt unsatisfying and as though it needed something. There's many better pasta places in the city. read more

Came here for a quick meal after a work event at 230 Fifth Rooftop. I ordered The Hot Spot ($16), which is their Tonnarelli Cacio E Pepe with Pecorino Romano Cheese and Black Pepper. The food came out relatively quick and it was a good meal to fill up on without being too full. I'd stop by again in the future if I'm ever in the area. read more

Didn't really care for the pasta here. Got the Midnight Desire and the Hot Spot. The flavor and texture just didn't do it for me it wasn't bad but being in NYC and the good reviews made me expect better. read more

Really cute place and great price for the pasta that you get. With all the workspaces in the area, I can definitely see people coming by to grab some lunch. It's all housemade pasta, and you can TELL. I had the cacio e pepe which was al dente and had that cacio e pepe flavor that you love. And we also tried the some like it hot ravioli which came so generously stacked with ravioli. I feel like usually at italian places they give you like 5-6 pieces of ravioli, but my sister and I shared and we each got to have at least 5-6 pieces each. Definitely a great new add to the area if you're looking for a pasta fix! read more

The burrata and pesto pasta tasted just okay-- wasn't a big fan of the burrata and I don't think I've ever disliked burrata before (I order it a lot). The pesto tasted fine, albeit rather forgettable, but I will say that the dish as a whole didn't taste too salty which I appreciated read more

Amazing pasta cooked perfectly. Every sauce I tried was delicious! Small area to eat but no complaints bc the pasta was amazing!!

Cacio e Pepe Worth the Detour Tucked around the corner from Broadway on 27th in NoMad, this unassuming little haven delivers a truly transportive experience. What makes it unforgettable? Fabio. Warm, welcoming, and unmistakably Italian, he guided us through the menu like a dear friend hosting us in his own home. The cacio e pepe? Perfection. Creamy, peppery, and balanced with that unmistakable touch of Northern Italian craftsmanship. It's the kind of place you want to keep to yourself, but Fabio and his team deserve a full house every night. Go. Eat. Savor. Then thank Fabio for the journey. read more

It's alright pasta. They have perfectly al dente noodles (everyone complaining about the al dente noodles in the reviews here probably haven't had pasta in Italy) but the pecorino cheese was not as fragrant as it is in Italy. It's also quite expensive for a bowl of pasta, but you can tell they really care about their pasta! There's plenty of pasta places in New York though, so it's hard to be competitive, but definitely love the interior and branding. They have a little bit of seating, but I wouldn't count on it! Service was good and the people are nice! read more

Cute unassuming place that packs a serious flavorful punch! My husband came home one day and was like "there's this place with a crazy name but the menu looks SO good, we have to try!" AND TRY WE DID. (was there a pastagasm? err not quite. but I was really warm and full and content afterwards... so maybe like a pasta warm hug? whatever) Store is tiny- there maybe around 8 counter seats. Check out the cheeky decor. My husband and I got the Carbonaughty (carbonara pasta) and smac n' cheese (Mac and cheese that uses pink pasta and 4 types of cheeses!) to go- $16 per pasta, they were packed with care into these paper bowls. Even after a 15+ min walk back, the pasta was perfectly al dente and simply delicious! The blend of cheeses in the smac n' cheese (gorgonzola, parmesan, cheddar) was so rich and comforting. I saw that they also had a pumpkin ravioli for the fall! Can't wait to try that and also their other dishes. read more

I had the carbonara first and did not like it - the guanciale was too bitter and the pasta was a bit too al-dente. Other people have pointed that out. I am not Italian, so perhaps I can't really judge the "doneness" of the pasta. Anyways, moving on - about 3 months later, I tried it again. I tried the vodka sauce pasta. This was just great. The guanciale this time was delicious. It was perfect with the vodka sauce. The noodle also was perfectly cooked (in my opinion). The place is nice. The service is good. I hope they stick around. The prices are reasonable, I guess. Good pasta can be expensive in NYC. It's not cheap, but it's also not too expensive. read more

Cute interior, very IG worthy. The cashier was very nice and helpful when I was picking out my selection. I ordered the Carbonaughty with truffle sauce and a blood orange drink. This rang up to $25 which I think is very expensive for what I got. While the food was good, it was not worth $25. I would go back to try some of their other dishes that look tasty. read more

Reading some of the very few negative reviews makes me understand why a lot of ethnic restaurants often times can't be too authentic and thus have to cater to the local palate. It's a shame. This place is so delicious and authentic. Please keep doing what you are doing! Food was delicious. read more

Good, but not great. Got the carbonnaughty with the truffle sauce, and it is true - the sauces here are tremendously good. Rich, complex, flavorful. Unfortunately, the pasta was just a little undercooked, not quite al dente, which killed it for me. read more

I live in the neighborhood and have walked by this place a number of times, but honestly, based on the name did not think it would be great. I was SO wrong! Was craving a good pasta, so after reading quite a few great reviews, decided to give it a try. I had the carbonara, and it was honestly one of the best I've had outside of Italy. Pasta was cooked to perfection, and it was delicious! The guanciale was so crispy too!! (Do yourself a favor and order extra). The focaccia they give you on the side was good, not great. I've had better. But truly this place is all about the pasta! Will definitely be back, and can't wait to try some of their other options! read more

I tried this place for the first time and went back 3 days later. I couldn't stop thinking about how good it was! Seriously it's a great portion and soooo good. New fav pasta spot read more

Delicious lasagna at this charismatic Italian place! Perfect destination to have Italian cuisine to-go, or even to dine in and pause amidst the hustle and bustle. Ingredients are super fresh, not with as much oil and butter as some other places, very much like having a dish in Italy. Staff were so friendly, and the wait wasn't long at all for such a fan favorite. Overall, spectacular! read more

good amount for the price but it was alittle too salty for me the pasta was also a bit too chewy in my opinion but might just be personal preference i like the concept of the place, cute storefront. it's small tho, limited seating so it's better to just takeout which is what i think they're going for names are creative and the staff was attentive when i came which i appreciated read more

Trying to find good pasta in NYC is close to impossible. Some are at least ok. This place was by far, the worst I've had. I ordered the carbonara, with was tasteless, even with adding salt and pepper, but it edible enough to eat 1/2. . The bolognese was as completely inedible, primarily bc the past was so overcooked, it was like eating mush. The fact that the pasta itself was so bad made it impossible to judge the sauce. But I did have to add salt and pepper and cheese. (And I almost never add salt to anything ) I really don't know how any of the reviews could be as good as they are. I don't recommend this place at all. read more

It came pretty quick and it is very good. The place looks very nice and the service was very good

Best authentic Italian pasta I've had in the city outside of Italy. You don't need to go to a fancy Italian restaurant, just come here!

A friend and I came here and absolutely loved the food. so so good. My friend got Smack 'N Cheese and I got Italians Do It Better. 10/10 loved. read more

I tried Spicy Date and it was amazing! I love that they make everything with fresh Italian ingredients. 10/10 recommend

These guys stayed open later for me to grab my dinner after a long day of working and commuting. Forever grateful they deserve all success.
