La Pastaia Italian offers excellent service and upscale food, making it a convenient choice for a quiet dinner. Standout dishes include the cheese wheel, short rib tortellini, carbonara, and short rib parpadelle. The pistachio crusted Salmon with Risotto and the ribeye with mashed potatoes and vegetables have also received praise for their quality and presentation. Cocktails are worth trying, and while the burrata with mortadella could use better bread, it remains a worthy option. The staff is known to be polite and attentive, and the owners and staff speaking Italian adds to the authentic experience. Server Sergio is recognized for providing special care to guests. However, some recent feedback indicates that service can improve, as it has been noted to be slow at times. Overall, La Pastaia is seen as a special occasion restaurant where homemade dishes are worth the splurge.
