This was my second trip to Rome, the first in 2019 we stumbled upon this small hole in the wall street pasta and fell in love. This time we nearly had it every day, and for 8€ a bowl you can't blame me. Must try is the pappardelle ragu, portions are enough to share for two. And be sure to eat it on the stoop of the restaurant for the full experience! Expect your hot and fresh pasta ready in 3-5 mins on a busy day. read more

We chose this spot because it had a lot of reviews and maintained a good score. Perks of this spot are that it's affordable with each pasta bowl costing about €7.50 and the bowls are fairly large. Even though the line is long, you can get your meal quickly because the team works very fast and efficiently. The spot has limited seating so most people eat outside, either standing up or sitting on the curb. Menu is limited to 6 options and everything is handmade, so you can't go wrong here. The noodles have a nice, thick, chewy texture and come with plenty of sauce. Only downside for me was that most dishes didn't come with meat and I usually like to have a little with each meal. read more

Felt like they were feeding me slop. I ended up having diarrhea after getting the Spaghetti Cacio e Pepe. It was too salty and the cheese turned into what seemed like a gravy because there was so much of it. Honestly, very cheap and close to the Vatican which is great but it was not worth the after effects. The people were quick to serve us (maybe too quick) and friendly. The place was also small but its mostly take away food. If they improved their food I would consider coming back if in a rush but as of now I will not be returning. read more

Food was so so cool and cheap! The line was like 45 mins but well worth! I will definitely go again! And the lady who took my order was so nice! read more

This is a very tiny place and close to Vatican, there is not a lot of seats and many people were sitting on the ground outside this pasta place. The wait is ok, not very long, but you need to expect some waiting. The pasta is really fresh and delicious. We were lucky to find 2 seats inside the shop. Highly recommend if you don't mind the wait or no seat. read more

AMAZING, DELICIOUS, QUICK & FRESH pasta served here at Pastasciutta! I will admit, I was a bit hesitant about getting a quick bite from a place so close to the Vatican. I generally try to avoid eating near touristy sites BUT I was honestly starving hungry. Pastasciutta is A GEM located in an alley way off the main road that splits Rome & Vatican City. They have 6 pasta options to choose from for only €7.50. Like come on! I got the strozzapreti al pesto and it was €7.50 well spent. Probably the best & cheapest meal I have had in Rome haha. The strozzapreti was cooked perfectly al dente & the pesto sauce... SO GOOD! I could eat their pasta for every meal tbh. Would totally come back again. Staff was so kind, as well. MUST GO if you're in the area and want something to grub on that is tasty, inexpensive, and quick ;) read more

Pastasciutta was recommended to me for lunch by my Vatican Museum tour guide and she did me a favor. It's located about 50 yards from the north entrance to Vatican City and is a 9 bar stool restaurant that serves only 6 pasta meals and most of the people who get their food here eat it on the street curb in front. When I arrived for lunch the line was about a 15 minute wait. When it was my turn, I ordered the spaghetti alla carbonara for €7. Adding a Coke made the lunch €9. The inside of the restaurant is the size of a large closet. Working in cramped quarters the cooks make the food in front of you and then they call your number. My bowl of deliciousness was ready in about 3 minutes after ordering and luckily I grabbed an open barstool to eat inside. I'm not a big fan of dining on a street curb. The pasta was delicious with the egg, cheek lard, cheese and pepper mixing excellently with the homemade spaghetti. Italian comfort food at its best. I really liked this hole in the wall restaurant. The food was delicious and affordable too. It's simple and basic and serves the purpose for a quick and filling meal while visiting The Vatican. Come eat here. read more

Wow! Small store, with line out the door (well it's pretty small) but did not disappoint at all. Wonder if this is the same as PastaEat? It has the same menu and price. Either way, this is right by basilica st Pedro and also has a line. Pretty awesome, quick, and good price. read more

Ordered the truffle pasta for take away and was shocked by how MASSIVE the dish was... and even more surprised by the amount of truffle. Two nice surprises because this meal was great and I'd def go back. Especially considering the cost, Pastasciutta is worth checking out. read more

Cheap, huge serving, and really good pasta. We came in during the evening rush and there was quite a wait in a queue, about half an hour. But as soon as my order was taken, it took less than 5 minutes to get my order. Pasta was perfectly al dente, and the flavor was awesome. read more

Excellent pasta option near the Vatican - this location is far smaller and has far less seating space than the other location near Flaminio station, meaning you are almost certain to have to eat it on the go/street, but the pasta quality and value is unbeatable and worth the wait. We came close to opening time and the line was 30-40 people long. It moved pretty quickly and we were lucky enough to snag one of the ~5 bar seats inside. We waited around 10 mins for our order and were given a device that beeps once your order is ready. We got the pesto, carbonara, and tartufo. Menu options are limited but with pastas at €7 and water/pop at €1, its an excellent deal. The pasta itself was cooked perfectly al dente, with great portion sizes, and excellent pasta sauce. The carbonara was our favourite and one of the best throughout our entire trip. The pesto was also excellent - both sauces might be a bit salty for some, but we enjoyed and found it full of flavour. The tartufo is a good pick for those looking for a milder, less salty taste. Location is excellent as it's just a street or two away from the entrance to St. Peter's Square and it really hits the spot after a long, tiring day at the Vatican. We considered other options in the area, but seeing how the nearby restaurants were empty compared to the long line at Pastaciutta convinced us to try it, and we are glad we did. read more

Love, love, love the food here. The price is right and the food is sooooooo good. It was our first meal after a long flight and hit the spot. We went back a few times after. Solid food, no crazy influencer line, 7.5 euros per dish. Yes. read more

Again on my way to a different restaurant and the smells coming from the door made me stop. Well worth the stop. Fresh made pasta. 6 options of pasta creations with several different types of noodles. 7.50 per plate and comes out super fast! The Pappardelle is excellent! What a difference fresh pasta taste! The ragu is great option. Just enough ragu for the pasta. The cacio e pepe is a little salty but I think that's how it's usually made. Only my second time trying this sauce (tried in Venice). I switched the noodles to pappardelle because the noodles it comes with were underdone. Otherwise excellent meals with quick service. Can share for two per plate if you just want to try it before buying extra like we did. Enjoy! read more

This place was kind of between downtown & Vatican. One simple pricing, 8.5 euro; 8 pasta options; generous portions. Cute little place with few indoor & outdoor chairs & tables. The kitchen is separated by a glass window, visible from dining area, you can see them cook your orders. Efficient service. The red sauced pasta bowls were our fave. The pesto was good. The rigatoni cacio e pepe was a bit bland & could use more sauce. Total cost for 4 pasta bowls was 34 euros, without cover charge or sitting fees, can't beat the deal!! TOTALLY WORTH IT! read more

Pastasciutta - Simple menu outside the restaurant - Pasta Shops Near Me - Rome, RM

The small restaurant offers a variety of pasta bowls including the Roman favorites such as Cacio e Pepe, Gricia, Carbonara, and Amatriciana. The food is fresh and absolutely delicious. There are only a few seats inside so you will probably be eating sitting on the curb outside. This gem is an amazing alternative to a meal at Roman restaurant and the cost for a bowl was an incredibly inexpensive 8€! read more

Stumble upon this place while vacationing in Rome. And so glad we decided to give this place a try. Definitely worth a visit while in Rome. Thought they have someone inviting you to the restaurant like all other places in Rome. This one was a little friendly to have you try the restaurant. Met a fellow tourist who just finished and talked to us saying the restaurant is very good. So we gave it a try and everything was excellent. Excellent thin crust and crispy margarita pizza. Simple and very flavorful as this was our first stop in Rome so we wanted to try something simple. The calamari was very tasty and crunchy. The pasta bolognese was very good. I guess the tomato's in Italy is definitely different from the us even when they import them. Everything here was excellent and did not disappoint at all. We kept talking about how great the food was here the entire trip. As much we wanted to go back we had to try out places. But for our next trip we will be back for some more. After finishing the meal we walked past one of the doors and found it was a Michelin recommended place. But the servers could be a little more friendly. They were a little rude and not friendly to tourist. read more

Love the carbonara!! So tasty and such a good price! Have to stand in line but it's worth it!

One of the best affordable pasta dishes I had in Rome. It took a little while to find a seat, but once I did, I was able to enjoy my meal. The food was fresh, and the pesto sauce was delicious. This place is more geared towards takeout, and you can eat outside on the crosswalk. It's a highly touristy spot, but the food is great and affordable. I would definitely recommend it! read more

Pretty cute ace and the service was nice. read more

If you are staying in Rome and you are near the Vatican, you must go here. But, know what the experience is. It is not far from the main entrance to the Vatican but you need to turn off the Main Street down a little alley. There is no inside dining except for a couple stools. Most people take the food home or will just sit on the curb. But, wait, it is totally worth it. They only have a couple types of "sauce" but their pasta is freshly made. No dried pasta, this stuff comes CB out of the machine into the water. It is delicious, amazing. The portion is large so I got two meals. Now, here is the best part, it cost $4 euros!!! I urge you to make sure you get pasta here. We were staying at an Airbnb so this place was great for us. This place is a real find. read more

Who knew the best pasta in Rome could be found on the side of a road? Had the most amazing Strozzapreti al Tartufo (6€). They make their pasta fresh in front of you and it's served within 3 minutes! This pasta I got had fresh noodles tossed in a truffle sauce with parmesean! It was insanely delicious and the portion size was also huge. This pasta exceeded my expectations and I would 10000% recommend it! read more

4.5 out of 5 Looove it! It's definitely a hidden gem just right around the corner of St. Peter's basilica. It is the perfect meal after a long day of walking and sightseeing in Rome. The food is freshly made in front of you. Service is quick! My only complaint is the lack of space and seating. I have to take 0.5 points for that, but their sign clearly says "pasta-to-go" so they're not misleading. It's still difficult to go in and out of the place though... even just to go to the cashier or pick up your pasta. The space is so narrow that two people have to walk sideways to get in and out of the waiting / seating area. read more

The tartufo pasta was my favorite one followed by the ragu. I also tried the cacio e pepe and carbonara and found those to be too salty and therefore not as enjoyable. The pasta is cooked al dente and is very nicely priced for such a good amount of it. Definitely try the truffle/tartufo pasta because it's really an authentic Italian taste. read more

Came here for a late lunch after visiting the Vatican and found it through Google Maps. I have to say that I was VERY pleased with the place. It's only about a 3 min walk from St. Peter's Square It seems like you can't go wrong with any of the different options that they have. It got the Spaghetti alla carbonara and Strozzapreti al pesto. Both of them were really good, and of course because we're in Italy, they're cooked al dente Place was also cool because they serve the pasta with a fork that's silver, but it's actually plastic! Best Part: Location, price, quality, and the service. Menu: Is short, but easy to read, where most options are €6 and there's 1 item for €5. Payment: They take cash, card, and NFC pxayment. read more

After an amazing trip to the Vatican, my tour guide recommended coming here if we were looking for a delicious and inexpensive lunch. When I got there it was a bit crowded, but the line moved very quickly. There were only about 8 seats inside the restaurant and I managed to grab 2, but a lot of people were sitting on the steps outside so be prepared to have to wait for a seat or look for one somewhere else! After ordering the Pappardelle al Ragù for just €6 (A GREAT DEAL FOR THE PORTION SIZE) I got to watch them make my pasta right in front of me. A short 5 minutes later they called my number and I finally got to dig in. The pasta was definitely thicker than what I usually prefer and there was only a little bit of sauce, but it was so good that I finished every bite! If you're looking for a quick, inexpensive, and tasty lunch, I'd say look no further than Pastasciutta! read more

If you're looking for some quick fast food pasta that taste good and is a great deal, you can get your meal here! Since our Airbnb was nearby, we came here twice and took our pastas back to our room. It's located very close to the Vatican City near St. Peter's Square. You can dine in there, but it's extremely small; so you can easily take it away. Your pasta will be ready within minutes of ordering. Their prices ranges around 5 - 6 euros. If you pay 1.50€ more, you can get an XL size, which is about a 1.5X sized portion. Their selections are limited, but they are quick and their pastas do taste good. They're a very convenient place to eat at if you're near this area, need a quick bite to eat, and is trying to saying a little money. read more

Delicious and convenient pasta! Every bowl we tried was delicious and good portions for the price. Would come back when in the area!

This place was very close to the St Peters basilica. The reviews were off the charts when we came to the front you could see them making pasta fresh, what is there not to like? Well the taste was excellent especially the truffle pasta. You know what was crazy was that 3 of the 4 pasta's were undercooked. I didn't think that would even be possible in the tourist city of Rome!?!?!? The pasta was a bit hard and chewy. Rather than ask them to re-cook we decided it wasn't worth it and left. The price wasn't too bad just sucked they don't know how to cook pasta correctly. Would not recommend this place nor return. read more

The food is awesome, quick and fresh! The service was correct, but there's sooo many people, so you won't be able to sit down.

Quick and easy meal while exploring Rome! It's very close to the St.Peter's Basilica. There is only 5 seats inside so be prepared to stand outside and eat or grab a seat on the steps outside of Alice pizza next door (which is also great so grab some of both! Haha). Pricing for any of the pastas is very reasonable at 6€ each. Pasta is freshly made and comes out piping hot on a paper plate/bowl. The line can get long since this a pretty popular spot but food comes out quickly. Mo and I waited about 10 mins, even with a mix up that caused a slight back up for the few people ahead of us. Tip: If you want extra cheese you must ask for it. read more

I've tried multiple pasta dishes here, and nothing has disappointed! The highlight on the menu is definitely the carbonara. They give very generous portions for a great price.

If you want quick, delicious pasta, this is the place to go! read more

Visited the Vatican city and we had to stop by this freshly made pasta place! Lines went by really quick as this place is very efficient. You order with the cashier one of the six plates and whether you want to eat inside or outside. Take it to go and you'll get a bowl instead of a plate (plus they only have counter space for 5-6 people). They accept credit card and the pasta really does come out in 3-4 minutes! I would not order the pesto one - the pasta was almost al dented a bit too hard for me still. The Bolognese with meat sauce was REALLY GOOD. Definitely recommend that, the pasta was cooked perfectly and the sauce was delicious! read more
