This is a fast casual restaurant that has appeared in viral Instagram posts because of their "cheese wheel". Though they do have some seating, most of their business is from takeout orders. If you are expecting high quality pasta, this is not the place. Their "cheese wheel" is just a big wheel of parmesan cheese where they will mix your pasta in. This is done at the front window and was a great marketing ploy to go viral. You get to choose the type of meat and toppings you want in your order. A bowl of pasta here is about $16. The portion is very filling and is a reasonable price for a takeout meal of this size. The food is not authentic and most of the ingredients have been prepackaged and frozen.

Pasta in a cheese wheel? Yes, please! You start by getting in line, choosing your toppings and sauce for the pasta, and then the magic starts. They drop the hot pasta into a huge cheese wheel, swirling and smothering it until it's coated in creamy melted cheese. Everyone was in awe watching the process. The pasta itself was tender, rich, and creamy. I could've easily gone for a second round. If you're a fan of pasta and cheese, this is definitely worth trying. The spot does have seating, but it's a small space. You can also expect to wait a bit since its popular.

This place is known for one thing so it was a little comical when the person (mom) who recommended this place asks "that's all they have?" when we get there. There were three of us, getting the different toppings and the arancini and all left happy with our orders. The outdoor patio was also really nice until the sky opened up. We'll come back for a fix.

Everything went well where do I even start, first off my boyfriend and I came from California on a week trip to NYC our second day here we said let's try this viral place out since they're known for their cheese wheel not only was the food and quality so good but the service was 10 out of 10 thanks to Elif,Nada, and Ahmet they made our first time the best time, not only were they so sweet in every question we had, they were super sweet in attending us but their Tiramisu was so tasty and sweet if only I could come here everyday!! They really made this the best experience we could've ever asked for and I couldn't be more thankful see you soon Pastasole you definitely served us well today with EVERYTHING being a 10/10 once again, I love this place

2nd time having this. Simple menu and quick wait, unless ordering the arancini....food is fresh, tasty. Ordered the fettuccine Alfredo with garlic shrimp and pesto. Took it to go and when we got home, it did have additional Parmesan on it, which was not ordered. It made the meal more salty than I would have preferred. It was tasty, line is always there. Still a good, filling meal for a decent price.

Arrabbiata sauce with Parmesan

Came here on a weekday day with a friend after seeing the many viral videos on social media. Thankfully there was only a short line and it moved pretty quickly. Loved that all of the fresh pastas noodles get tossed in the cheese wheel and you're able to pick additional sauce and toppings. I ordered the pasta with arrabbiata sauce and Parmesan. It came quickly and had olives as well. Pasta was cooked perfectly and fresh. Sauce didn't have a ton of spice for an arrabbiata, but was still tasty. The restaurant feels like a hole in the wall but had a decent amount of seating. There's also an outdoor seating space on the back. Overall decent pasta and a good casual eat. I'd come back!

Fettuccine Alfredo Bolognese

Came a couple months ago with friends after hearing about it on social media. We waited in line for about half an hour before we were able to place our order. The food was decent especially for the price. I'm not sure I would wait in line for it again but definitely a good takeout consideration. We ordered the Alfredo with Bolognese and Arrabiata. Keep in mind that there is limited seating inside with lots of people in line or waiting for food.

Food: 4/5 | Service: 4/5 | Experience: 3.5/5 This hole in the wall does not have much seating. It's meant to be more of a takeout. It was a bit odd to have the pasta being cooked in front of the line behind the register, but it was interesting to have that look. I got the fettucine alfredo (base for every pasta) and added the bolognese on top. I also got the arancini. Food is very fresh, and the portion size for the pasta is generous. I really liked the arancini too as it was fresh, hot, and cheesy. For what I paid, I felt it was well worth. I'd come again perhaps when the line is not too long outside.

Prices aren't crazy and quality matches what you'd expect from a fast-casual restaurant, but the food was tasty! We ordered the fettuccine alfredo and added parmesan cheese on top for an extra $2 (it's the powdered kind). Tasted very yummy actually, but it was only luke warm. We asked and the pesto contains peanuts - we specifically clarified if they meant pine nuts and they asked the chef. It's peanuts.

Wife found this place on Tik Tok and with free Saturdays now, we decided to try something new. The only somewhat semi negative thing of the place is that there is barely a place to sit at but it's a testament of how good the food is with so many people getting a bite. Wife had the chicken fettuccine with Alfredo sauce and Parmesan which she said was very good but chicken needed a little more seasoning. I had the shrimp fettuccine with red sauce and it was soooo tasty - left me wanting more. When you first get the food it looks small but it's deceiving - weighted a lot and the portions they give you felt like they poured the food in. We even tried the Aritini balls and I really enjoyed those. Nice place for a bite before a date. Good food. Great busy atmosphere. Fresh hot food. And parking in the area was not as bad.

Fettuccine Alfredo
Kayla P.

The pasta itself has no flavor. It is very bland and for it to be cooked a little on the parm wheel you would expect it to be very flavorful and cheesy, but it was not and I was disappointed. The place itself is small but has good Italian music playing. The staff is also very friendly, that's why it is a 6/10. I feel that even if I added chicken, the chicken would be the star. It needed way more parm for it be amazing but that's not how pasta should be.

Bolognese
Peter C.

I saw this place on IG and got so excited because I had went to a similar place when I was in Venice. I had such high hopes in coming here. The noodles were cooked al dente but I was a little disappointed. Even though the noodles were in the cheese wheel, they were not that cheesy and was honestly lacking in flavor. We opted for the bolognese and that didn't really help either It was missing some salt and the creaminess factor. How it works is that the noodles are cooked in a big batch, then put into the cheese wheel and spin around in it. After, the noodles are all taken out and put in separate bowls. Then, toppings are added as per order and they will call out your name Idk if I will be coming back here again

Chicken Alfredo
Jessica L.

Came here around opening and there was no line. I had high hopes for this place! Reasonable price point for homemade pasta. The Staff was nice and took my order quickly. I got a chicken fettuccine alfredo. The wait was around 10-15 min as the store was empty. I'm glad there was seating inside for me to wait. As for the pasta, the noodles were soft and pleasant. Nothing life changing. Sadly both the chicken and sauce fell short. The chicken was quite dry and I don't think it's worth an extra $4. The sauce had NO seasoning whatsoever. There was pretty much no salt or pepper / any kind of seasoning I could taste. It just tasted like cream mixed with noodles. It's difficult for me to eat a bunch of bland noodles in one sitting so I split it into two. It felt very heavy and monotonous. I had a disappointing experience but I hope the other menu items are better.

If you answered "yes" to all three, then Fumo is a place to seriously consider. The restaurant is bright and comfortable. The service is fast and attentive. The menu has lots of excellent choices.

Any drawbacks ? youi ask.....well, yes, there is one, and it should be cosnidered. The restaurant is so so so popular that the noise level can be a bit ..... shall we say "daunting."

Particularly the penne funghi is to die for. Tried the linguine vongole clam pasta for the first time and was pretty good as well! Just wish there was more sauce and the clams were the tiniest size I've seen which was disappointing and to make matters worse, a good 1/3 of them were empty. Besides that, the meal was delightful and still great value as it was delicious with huge portions! Love! However, service at this particular branch is nowhere near as good as other branches. I understand it's busy and it's always incredibly crowded with people and cramped seating and loud music/voices but this was like no other. When I arrived party of 2, they had nearly 5 tables empty and yet we couldn't sit at any of them because the had to wait for reservations to see if they arrived and we had to wait 15 min but they said they'd let us know. We were forced to sit at the bar which the giant metal can of alcohol bottles took up 1/2 my seating/dining area and no one bothered to move it or ask if that was okay because obviously it wasn't but the didn't care. We waited awhile for the food to come and during that time we asked if there really wasn't any table availability since tables clearly open and the denied again even though reservations never came. Literally 3 tables remains consistently empty throughout our entire dining experience confined to the cramped bar area. They even closed the door, separating the outdoor diners which was weird and it became insufferably hot inside, even on a cold windy day. Bathroom situation here is also terrible as it is downstairs with steep narrow stairs and me and other customers almost bumped into each other and staff carrying multitude of food dishes and dirty dishes up and down the stairs. Never have I ever had such an undelightful experience going to bathroom at a restaurant. Additionally, sink water pressure either had no water coming out or a giant spray of water making it impossible to wash hands without getting a whole shower. This location really needs work. Only reason why I'm not giving it five stars is because I love Fumo as a whole. Just skip this location.

We started with the housemade focaccia and Wagyu carpaccio--both were outstanding, with the perfect balance of crispy, flavorful, and fresh elements. My partner and I shared the pasta, hangar steak, and potatoes, which turned out to be the ideal amount for two. We finished with the famous olive oil cake, which we loved for its subtly sweet, moist and tender bite. Served with lightly whipped cream and raisins, the combination was surprisingly delicious. We were also touched by the complimentary anniversary scoop of ice cream. The interior seating is a bit snug, but the decor is beautiful--elegant yet homey. The service was good as well. Overall, we highly recommend L'Artusi for a special night out!

L'Artusi has been on my radar for a while, ever since I heard it was a hot spot and saw reviews of…read moreit being one of the best Italian restaurants in NYC. Being Italian American, I'm hypercritical of spots like these - but nevertheless the positive reviews were overwhelming so I wanted to check it out for myself. One of my friends and I were looking to catch up, so I booked a table and off we went. While it can be tricky to get a reservation during prime dinner time, it's relatively easy to get a lunch reservation - or an early/late dinner. I managed to get a reservation for dinner at 9:15pm which was the earliest I could find. The restaurant is pretty unassuming on the outside - it looks like a converted brownstone and once inside we were greeted by a large space with a sceney vibe. The space is split between two levels with a large bar up front and a semi-open kitchen in the back. The decor was modern - with lots of greys and neutral tones which was a little unexpected. The main star of the menu is pasta, but they also have a few non-pasta mains as well as some crudo selections, apps, and sides. We decided to get a few apps, two pastas, and one side. To start, we went with the octopus, roasted mushrooms, burrata crostone, and focaccia. These were all really good, but my favorite was the mushrooms. I'm usually not a fan of mushrooms but these were prepared with red pepper and fried egg and were delicious; it cut through the earthiness and changed the texture to something I really enjoyed. The focaccia was also a standout - it's house made and was paired with a peppery oil that complemented the bread well. For mains we split two pastas - the caccio e pepe and the rigatoni. Both of these were very good, though I felt the rigatoni was the stronger dish. It was prepared with sausage ragu, soppressata, broccoli rabe pesto, and pecorino. The flavors worked really well together and the pasta was cooked al dente. The caccio e pepe was perfectly fine, I just feel it's been overplayed and didn't feel there was anything that stood out amongst the others I've tried. We also got a broccoli rabe as a side which was great. We couldn't leave without dessert and decided to get their olive oil cake and quattro formaggio cheesecake. The restaurant is known for the former - it was perfectly fine but I've had olive oil cakes elsewhere of the same or better quality. The cheesecake was the stronger dessert IMO - the combination of cheeses gave it an interesting, almost savory flavor. The brûlée top and mascerated strawberries were great texture and flavor complements. Service was great - the place was packed but service was consistently on point and everyone was friendly. Overall, I had a good experience at L'Artusi. While everything was very good, I'm struggling to find the exact reason why this place became such a hot spot compared to other Italian spots in the city. Nevertheless, you'll have a good meal here and I would definitely return if given the opportunity.

I read the reviews mostly good so I was hoping for the best. My friends and I were not disappointed. The first thing I noticed was there were 7 people in my party and 4 arrived early and did not have to wait for my arrival to be seated. Second the waiter who took our order was polite and on point with specials and knowledge of the menu. He (just never caught his name) suggested the Rigatoni which chicken and sausage. I am not really a pasta eater but baby that dish could change that; it was DELICIOUS. I even liked the anchovy dressing on my Caesar Salad and I dislike anchovies. All the dishes ordered (chicken parm, mussels chicken paillard etc.) everyone enjoyed them immensely. The only negative was when the Chicken Paiikard arrived it was supposed to a shared dish by the elderly couple and they asked for regular dinner plates from one of the servers. It took the gentleman who took our order to step in and said sure, lucky their food was still hot. Common Sense is not so common for all. But this will not lower my rating as it was taken care of swiftly. The portions were the perfect size and I was not stuffed but pleasantly satified. We told them the time of our show, food was out quickly, nicely presented, still hot and very tasty. The restaurant was not noisy and had space between the tables. It also had an elevator for those who could not manage stairs. Trattoria Trecolori you will be added to my must go again list! Thank for a wonderful experience!
