You MUST take a class with Jason. He’s the best, down-to-earth guy who makes sure everyone has a great time (with plenty of wine) while he teaches you how to make an amazing meal.

Very disappointed. I called twice and got voicemail. Don’t leave a message. ”. I tried to order two sandwiches online. “Not currently taking orders’. I waited 20 minutes to a bland tasting sandwich with bread that was hard as a rock. Ahh. I saw an order of 20-25 sandwiches come out. It took three staff several minutes to figure out what each sandwich was and then write on the paper. My lunch hour is not an hour long. Pisssed me off.

I got a hot sandwich to go. I do wish there was a more organized flow to the place so it's clear where you need to go before and after you order, and I do wish they offered cooked pasta as a lunch item. I know that you can get it through the catering menu if you order ahead of time but that's for much bigger orders. Still, their food is great!

Happy to have received catering from Dave's Fresh Pasta. I ordered the roasted lamb sandwich. As I eat this sandwich, I am disappointed in how dry and uninspiring this sandwich is. I have had better sandwiches at convenience stores.There's no inherent sauce for the sandwich, which I think is a mistake. The lamb tastes like lamb! That's it though.

My girlfriend and I took a cooking class at Dave’s Fresh Pasta and had an amazing experience. The Chef was extremely kind and went out of his way to make sure everyone was involved and having fun. He accommodated my girlfriend’s food allergy and made sure to have a separate cooking area set up for her. And of course the pasta was great and we can’t wait to use the recipe again ourselves. 10/10 would recommend

Dave’s Fresh Pasta’s Dinner Party class, led by Chef Jason, was truly an unforgettable experience. From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with warmth and a genuine passion for food that made the entire evening feel intimate and special. Chef Jason’s energy was infectious—he masterfully combined humor, knowledge, and skill, making the class both educational and incredibly fun.
The attention to detail in each dish was astounding, and Chef Jason walked us through every step with patience, ensuring everyone felt involved and confident in the kitchen. The ingredients were of the highest quality, fresh and bursting with flavor, and the final meal we created together was nothing short of spectacular. What made this class even more special was the sense of community Chef Jason fostered—by the end of the night, we weren’t just classmates; we were friends sharing a beautiful meal together.
This dinner party class was far more than just learning to cook—it was about celebrating food, friendship, and the joy of creating something wonderful together. Chef Jason has an incredible gift for making everyone feel like a top chef, and I left the evening not only with new skills but with cherished memories. I cannot recommend this experience enough—it’s perfect for anyone looking to elevate their cooking game or simply enjoy an evening of great food and great company! Thank you, Dave’s Fresh Pasta, for such a heartfelt and inspiring evening!

Dave’s Fresh Pasta in Davis Square has a beautiful newly painted sign with big white letters.
Best Ravioli and fresh pasta in Massachusetts, as well as some good prepared items and amazing sandwiches at a decent price. They also sell wine and beer.
My go-to sandwich spot for lunch. They make great ones for the most part, even when busy 80% of the time the food is delicious. And prices really aren't bad given the quality of ingredients, breads, etc.
Service is mixed. Some people are normal, but you got a couple folks behind the counter who won't even address you or say thanks or anything. Just hear your name, give the sandwich and look away. Doesn't really make sense, not sure why you'd want to turn off your customers like that. Get the feeling some of the folks in there wish they worked somewhere else. But the food is great and should be proud

In many a recent review I have gone to a local place, thought "this seems pricey for a sandwich", but bought it in the hopes that it will be an outstanding sandwich. My Italian sandwich at Dave's was good... but not $14 (after tax) good. I will give you the benefit of the doubt, since this is a pasta shop, not a sandwich shop, but I hope the quantity/quality-to-price ratio of the rest of your menu is closer to reality.

Sadly I have to bump this place down to 4 stars. I used to love their sandwiches, but I was super disappointed recently. It was more expensive and way smaller than in the past. Definitely a bummer because it used to be my go to sandwich spot. The sandos still tasted great but $20 for a tiny thing is a tough sell.

This little store sells various assortments of wine, cheese, fresh pasta, etc. Definitely more expensive than you can buy at a local grocery store but convenient if you’re in the area. I think what makes this place really special is their deli sandwiches - they have a lot of options, very generous in portion size, and pretty affordable! Would recommend if you’re hoping for a good sandwich for breakfast or lunch. Would have to get take out though as they don’t have any tables/chairs.
