This is a little gem of a restaurant. The chef was there without a waiter for the afternoon and it didn’t matter. His service was so great and we felt special to be able to be the only ones in the whole restaurant because of the timing. The food he cooked was delicious. It’s a cute restaurant with unique options and traditional options too. We are so glad we found this place!

FANTASTIC! The food is fresh and flavorful, prices are decent, and the service is friendly.
Other pros:
Parking is street parking but it's a quiet neighborhood so I've never had to park farther than across the street.
No cash, no problem. I know Google lists them as cash only but they also accept Zelle.
Cons:
While a wheelchair user could definitely navigate entry, please be forewarned, you wouldn't be able to use their bathroom. It's an old building and the bathroom is barely big enough for anyone much less a chair.

Fantastic place with incredible dishes . Everything has layers of flavors and texture great personal service best octopus appetizer and bruschetta. The risotto was unbelievable and delious soups like mushroom and pumpkin. The pesto and the vodka all the sauces were incredible. So worth it a true dining experience. It is byob and if you’re looking for an especially romantic night make reservations and tell the owner. Can’t wait to go back and try another dish. Thank you for such a great dinner!

It’s small, but do not be deceived by this.
The host was great, and the food unbelievable.
I’m purely a guest whose family had the time of their lives.
Please try it as we need it there for a long time to come.

Fantastic place! Pastina is a hidden gem in the neighborhood. By far, the best Italian restaurant in the area. Food is made fresh daily, the service is phenomenal, and the restaurant is charming and cozy. Try this place if you haven't already! You will not be disappointed.

My experience here was quite special. Both our chef and server were incredibly kind. Fernando, the chef, will walk around and ask how you are enjoying everything, and even brought us some gelato to sample. They are very generous with portions here, and the food is delicious. Definitely worth a visit if you're seeking an intimate venue for a tasty dinner.

Absolutely delicious Italian food. Legit! Wonderful appetizers, main courses and desserts and super friendly staff. Very fresh ingredients, which seems rare and a treat these days. A tiny slice of Italy in the neighborhood.

I don't have the words to tell you how much we loved Pastina. First, the owner/chef was amazing. Personable. Warm. Inviting. The food was amazing! Maybe the best total dining experience I've ever had. This place is the whole package. My family doesn't do fancy, stuffy restaurants. We love casual where we feel comfortable and enjoy great food. My son wanted something that wasn't exactly on the menu and the owner created it for him. It was our anniversary, so the owner brought us special treats. My 20 year old son said this morning, he can't wait to go back. It's cash only (we knew that going in) and BYOB.
