Arrived at 6pm and was told the wait would be 20 minutes. Been waiting more than an hour.

They don't seem to want customers. They clear tables slow and leave empty tables while people are standing in line. The host acts like he is doing a favor by letting people eat there. Lots of little things like not letting us order another glass of wine at 9:03 because the kitchen closes at 9—ok wine comes from the bar, it’s not really a big ask. Pasta was very nice and sauces were ok not great. All in all a disappointing experience.

What a pleasant place to have lunch. The seating area was relaxing and comfortable. Of course, we came here for its pastas and weren’t disappointed. The serving size was smaller, so we ordered 4 different pastas. The lasagna was as advertised, it was excellent. All other three pastas were very good especially the agnolotti. We’ve never had it before and it was a very pleasant surprise. Highly recommended. The only downside of our lunch was that it had sold out its bread. Other than that, we enjoyed our experience here very much. And the service was excellent as well.Vegetarian options: 3 out of the 4 pastas that we had were vegetarian.Parking: It’s pretty empty on the street at around 1:30 pm on a Saturday.Kid-friendliness: Yes, kids should live it’s pastas here.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, but it’s on the tight side.

Super cute restaurant, lots of greenery which made the outdoor area refreshing & a very chic backdrop for photos.The service was great, our waiter was attentive and friendly. I ended up ordering the squid ink pasta which was good but not the best. Flavor-wise the pasta sauce just seemed bland but I do like spicy and/or more salty foods so that may have played a part in things.. the prices are also reasonable so I did enjoy things.

Great fresh pasta, probably the best pasta itself I've ever had. It was a solid amount of food but if you eat a lot, you might be a little hungry. Outdoor seating was really nicely planned and felt like its own secluded area. Quick service and caring wait staff made this place a great experience.

Best pasta I’ve ever had. Seriously. Beautifully handmade pasta cooked to perfection. Tried the Squid Ink Bavette and Gramigna Bolognese, and they are insanely good, both flavorful and balanced. I’m giving my highest recommendation to Colapasta.
