The pasta is excellent and the pesto is the best I've ever had. Seafood raviolis and the mushroom are my favorites

A great place to buy fresh pasta dishes, grated cheese and Marinara sauce. The prices are not too expensive and love their mushroom raviolis.

One of Carmel's best hidden gems. Amazing pasta and it's very affordable. We always stop on our way out of town. The goat cheese ravioli is so good! Their pesto too.

My husband and I have been coming to Carmel for years, and we just discovered this gem - literally the best angel hair pasta I’ve had ever (including the time I spent in Italy). The staff was super friendly and they had a great selection of raviolis as well. We stock up every time we’re in Carmel now so we can enjoy at home. Highly recommend!

Fresh pasta. Great prices! I will be coming back. Highly recommend. Don't buy pasta at the supermarket get it here. Impress your friends. Yummy homemade sauces too. Small batch - delicious!

So glad I found out about this spot on Yelp! We located it easily just past the Tree House Cafe and luckily had cash on hand just for this. We love bringing home treats from Carmel to keep our vacation indulgence going. ;)We were greeted by a very nice man that went over the pasta options. We opted for spaghetti so our kids could also enjoy. We bought the accompanying marinara and so glad we did because it is far better than any store bought, and completed the special meal. The staff makes the cooking experience so easy by writing strait on the package how long to boil each one. We also purchased the green 4 cheese spinach ravioli. This was amazing!!! It was a great treat for my in-laws as well because we cooked for them, and it did not disappoint. The homemade quality is very apparent because it tastes much softer than the store bought items.We will be stopping by every trip out of Carmel from now on. Thank you Pasta Palate for providing such an affordable, easy, delicious culinary experience for home.

This is a hidden gem. Their pasta selection is wide and prices are very reasonable. The people are friendly and we love the taste of their rest pasta. I have bought pasta from them for almost two years and never have been disappointed. Try it once and you'll be back. Get the tagliatelle and make a Pasta Bolognese. NY Times has a great recipe .

Saw the reviews of this place and wanted fresh pasta at a cheap price point. Was strolling through Carmel by the Sea and finally found this place tucked again. They literally just make fresh pasta and sauces in the unassuming, old-fashioned way. The employee was beyond friendly and walked me through their offerings for the day. After some thought, I purchased:mushroom ravioli, artichoke ravioli, garlic Fettucine, and pestoI think it ended up being around $22 for everything. It was all great and fed me for the next two weeks. A must-stop for quality Italian pasta. Truly a gem in this expensive city.

We got take-out pasta for a wonderful dinner this evening -- lemon flavored linguini and artichoke ravioli were my favorites. Excellent sauces including pesto and pomodoro. Be sure not to put off your visit -- they sell out early. But this is not a restaurant -- they sell pasta but are adjacent to a restaurant.

A little place to pick it fresh pasta and sauce to cook at home. Always stop by when we are in Carmel.

I'm on a pasta high right now. The last time I remember having pasta where I felt it's another level was during a trip to Venice. Who knew fresh pasta was so different from the dried, boxed ones. ‍ We got one pound (2 bags) of pappardelle and one pound of spinach (linguine?). They're $5.95 per lb. The one pound of pappardelle was actually enough for our lunch (2 adults, a 7 year old and a toddler). Boiled it and then tossed with some butter and a bit of marinara then topped with Parmesan. So good, we're planning to grab some more tomorrow to take home. Oh! The two gentlemen at the store were very friendly and helpful.
