Simply phenomenal every single time. Getting to be privy to an open kitchen is a treat. When people are willing to wait in line it’s a treasure. Eating at Pasta Mani isn’t just a night out, it’s an experience in and of itself. The staff are amazing and the Chef’s attention to detail and love for scratch food are something that’s hard to come by. My Trotolle this visit was exceptional, as was every dish I’ve sampled here. My only regret, not bringing someone else so I could try more of the weekly menu. I was ecstatic to get a reservation before they close their doors on NYE. Thanks for all the delicious food Chef Jay! This place is a diamond amongst the rough.

Lot of great places to eat in Worcester, but after today Pasta Mani has moved to the top of my list. Salads are fresh as if the greens were picked today. Every entree is ridiculously good. I’m not even a pasta lover, yet I think about this place all week long. Must get any of the dessert's to finish your meal. Portions are perfect amount, if anything maybe a little big (absolutely not complaining- I can’t wait to have my leftover for dinner, or in an hour when I’m not full) so pace yourself so you can make it to dessert. All this and the atmosphere is so unique. Love that you can see the chef jammin out in the kitchen as your meals are being made in front of your eyes. 11/10 highly recommend… maybe make a reservation because the fun of it is eating at the bar!

My first time eating here and I didn't have a good experience. The lady who served us and also was on the register was so rude to me and my husband and were also very rude to another couple with children who were behind us in line. When my husband went to get his order, that same black hair lady was extremely rude and impolite to my husband who was just waiting for his order. terrible experience.

Appetizers were solid, pasta dishes were amazing. Had the American chop Suey and the pistachio pesto with spaghetti. Serving sizes were good. Overall great quality experience. A little cramped, but didn’t ding because our three month old was happy the entire time with all that was going on around the area. Service was perfect.

The food it self was delicious, compliments to the chef. However the customer service of the woman at the front bar who rang in our order was abrasive, lacking in common courtesy and kindness. She must have presumed my husband and I were loitering because we were asked not to stand around while reading the menu as we waited for our friends ahead of us to order.We were refused to eat in their dining area because they were closing 1hr early, meanwhile there were still other guest seated in the area. I work in the service industry so even with poor service I always leave a 20% tip, even on take out, which is what this ended up being. It’s a shame that the service did not match the quality of the food.

5 of us had a lovely dinner on a Sunday evening. We had reserved the private table. Server made great suggestions. Everything was timed well and we weren’t rushed. Food was delicious.

Stopped in over the weekend for lunch for the first time and was excited to try their food after some time. While the location has a dedicated corner of market and nice ambience, the hostess taking orders was unfriendly and dismissive to my wife, and the carbonara dish we tired was a let down as we could not tell the pasta was made in house and the dish was overly oily. Would have given the pasta another try as it was the busy lunch time, but based on the service experience we will not.

Food here is amazing. Been here twice, love the changing menu. First time was dine in, this past time was take out. We had the baby kale salad and ricotta + red pepper cappelletti with braised chicken. The pasta is fresh and so well made. The chicken was melt in your mouth and perfectly seasoned. Was very impressed with how the meal traveled, we live about 20mins away but it was like we ate there. The tiarmisu is delectable, was lucky enough to get to have that both times.
