Pastaio Handmade Pasta & Pizza is a hidden gem that serves phenomenal food. The restaurant prides itself on its handmade pasta and pizzas, which are made in-house. The menu includes popular dishes like chicken Marsala, carbonara, and pizza fungi. The bread is tasty, and the pasta dishes are excellent. Guests have praised the atmosphere as very friendly and warm, making it a good spot to take friends and family. The staff is attentive and personable, with some offering good recommendations. The manager makes rounds to check on guests, although service can sometimes be slow and inconsistent, and there have been moments where issues were not fully addressed. Prices are on the higher side, especially for some items like the halibut dinner, which some guests felt was overpriced. The food remains a highlight, with many guests enjoying the incredible pasta and chicken dishes, and the tiramisu is highly praised. Despite occasional delays and higher prices, Pastaio offers a cozy ambiance and delicious dishes, making it a great choice for a night out or special occasions. The restaurant may not be ideal for larger parties or those in a hurry.
