Pasta Restaurants near Astoria, NY

“Figlia was the perfect pre-marathon carb load spot. The handmade pasta was absolutely incredible; fresh, perfectly textured, and the kind of pasta you can immediately tell is made in-house with care. And the Neapolitan pizza? Easily one of the best I’ve had in NYC. Light, airy crust with that perfect char and high-quality ingredients that speak for themselves. The whole atmosphere felt warm, cozy, and authentically Italian without trying too hard. Absolutely a neighborhood gem!“

“Went for the first time today . The owners came up to me and introduced themselves. I tried the stuffed pizza and Detroit slice it was really delicious“

“the pizza is excellent and I love their decor“

“Put cement in your shoes bc this place will knock ur socks off. A little taste of italy in the heart of west village. My biggest regret is not having time or the group size to taste more things.

Pros:
- Piping hot pasta dishes, served al dente, bursting w flavor. If you are allergic to flavor you might have a heart attack
- fantastic cocktails and happy hour
- friendly service. My daughter was treated like royalty (swinging bench, shirley temple, smiles)
- clean bathroom. If your a kitchen confidential person, you know what this means
- affordable price. I don’t remember exactly what, but no mugging happened and that’s rare in NYC
- not that crowded (went weekday 5:30 though)

Ideas to consider
- if the red wines were slightly more chilled (not room temp), some people might like even more
- I can’t think of anything else. The best pesto pasta I’ve had in many years, if not ever“

“cameriera italiana con capelli corti. scortese e molto maleducata. non tornerò piu. non ha saputo ne servire il cliente oltre al fatto che dovrebbe farsi un corso di corretto italiano prima di parlare con un cliente in quel modo. pessima pubblicità al locale. peccato e mi dispiace ma non tornerò più.“

“Delicious genuine Tuscan menu specializing in pasta.“

“El personal es muy amable, atentos y deliciosa comida.“

“By far the best pasta! Great holiday gifts as well. Highly recommend!“

“The pasta, made fresh every day, is delicious. My fav, Fusilli in bolognese sauce! And they Deliver!“

“Excellent Roasted Chicken. Burrata, Garlic bread and Brick Oven pizza. The vibe is really nice and service is excellent.“

“Wonderful dinner from start to finish. We had the pleasure of being served by Ramos, who was attentive, affable, and awesome. We started with the tots & caviar, which was like McDonald hash browns on steroids and the tuna cannolis (also on the smaller side but undeniably delicious). We got the duck ravioli which had a great balance of umami and acidity (the ravioli itself was cooked to perfection). We also were lucky enough to finesse the off menu truffle burger, which is easily an S tier burger (same level as lions bar and better than a PJ Clark’s - steakhouse style, not smashed) Fries were unreal. The dirty Martin’s (w/blue cheese olives) were also perfection and the Cali cab to wash it all down was equally delectable. 10/10. Great food, ambiance, and service. Will be back.“

“My daughter has been a fan of the alphabet pasta here since she started eating solid foods! I am a fan of the pumpkin ravioli and always check the case to see what’s new for the season. #itsallgood“

“WE LOVE THIS PLACE! I think this is New York’s best secret and honestly, I’m so grateful that I found this place. I wanna give a huge shout out to Rafi for being so sweet and kind. No one should ever eat pizza anywhere else!!“

“Visited on Tuesday evening quite late and had such an amazing experience at Osteria Nonnino. We shared a pizza to start, followed by fish and the vodka pasta for mains – every dish was absolutely outstanding. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, and we felt so well looked after from start to finish. The food was honestly second to none. Such a hidden gem, would highly recommend to anyone in NYC.“

“Amazing pasta and staff, that are actually from Italy! 🇮🇹“

“We had a great experience learning how to make pasta! The food was so delicious. This would be something fun to do with a group or family members. Our waiter Mica was fantastic as well as the chef who taught us Anthony. Thanks guys for a fun night in NYC!“

“Open late and hits the spot sooooo good! Tomatoes r cooked for 8 hrs and seeps into the pasta—we got the tomato and basil and it was delicious! Wanna try to the vodka sauce one next time (they use diff tomatoes from Italy for it)—also staff r so sweet! Perf late night snack with v filling portions“

“Great neighborhood place with fabulous home made pasta and wonderful service.“

“I get the Tuesday Special every Tuesday. Fettuccine Alfredo for $5. It's delicious and tasty for the price. A quick bite to eat when you finish the work day and before getting on the subway ride home. For the Tuesday Special. There is a time frame to get it. From 12pm to 4pm.
Nearby Transit: West 4th Subway F,M,B,D,A,C,E Trains. M55, M20 Busses.“

“Margarita Pizza was delicious. Will definitely be back to try some more adventurous styles.“

“Had a wonderful experience with my brother and sister in law! Very friendly and attentive! Bruno was fantastic and so was the food!“

“yummy and delicious“

“Few places are as accommodating as the staff here. The menu, although on available digitally, is extensive. Large selection of GF (gluten free) items. You can start with apps, choose from pizza or pasta as an entree. It is BYOB and that can make for a fun evening. They will accommodate to suit taste, we had someone that was sensitive to sodium, they adjusted sted the entree to suit. The place is small, the food tasty and seriously, the service is over the top.“

“Been a realtor in Brooklyn most my life and you know what they say location location location well this time it’s Pasta pasta pasta I’m mean it’s just pasta however if you like pasta and you don’t make it yourself this is the only place when in Brooklyn you need to go. If you care about fresh pasta—whether you’re a chef, a serious home cook, or simply someone who values true quality—this is a must-visit destination. A genuine temple of fresh pasta, and a place Brooklyn can proudly call its own. Beyond the pasta, the shop has a high-end Italian market vibe with a great selection of sauces, imported pantry staples, fresh mozzarella, and more — all at fair prices for New York City. It somehow strikes the perfect balance between old-school Italian neighborhood charm and quality you’d expect from a top artisanal producer. And just when I thought it couldn’t get better, they let me taste their soon-to-be-offered sourdough pizza. Without question, that pizza alone is going to put this place on another level. Once it officially launches, expect lines as far as the eye can see — just for the pizza. If you want to buy a house come see me if it’s pasta and pizza you’re after go see Savinos! Hey but don’t take my word for it what do I know’, go and see for yourself. Tell em Battaglia sent you’ you could thank me later! Love B…“

“Best fresh pasta in the city“

“Ive always been a really picky eater, especially with pizza, but this place is by far one of my favorite spots!
Been going here since I started middle school and I just recently finished highschool, this has always been a staple spot for me growing up!
If you’re ever in the neighborhood definitely check it out (-: Paco and the other workers are some of the friendliest people I’ve ever met and are always looking out for the community with their amazing food and service!“

“Personal attentive service backed by great wine and food knowledge. Fresh pasta with a well balanced olive oil, lemon and a hint of Chilli spice, crunchy bread crumbs added texture. Just delicious!
Chickpea flat bread, nutty flavor, crunchy and soft, wonderful. GELATO!“

“Great night celebrating my daughter’s birthday. The girls had a table and my husband and I sat at the bar. The staff was so accommodating and very attentive. The food was delicious. It was the perfect place for dinner!“

“Some personal notes:
- Buratta Pomodoro: buratta is 86 so get mozzarella. Didn’t expect it had fresh tomato so make it like salad vibe. 3/5
- next time try Randazo(eggplant), bianca(white sauce with onion), pesto burrata, toretta, tiramisu or cannoli“

“large cheese ravioli gluten free cheese ravioli whole wheat Italian bread“

“Absolutely loved everything about this place! The food was excellent, but I have to give a special shoutout to the pasta because it was genuinely AMAZING!! seriously one of the best I’ve had in a long time. The prices were also really reasonable, which made the experience even better.
The place itself is also so comfortable, with such a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. I would definitely come back without thinking twice! And Xavier was the sweetest and most attentive, he truly made sure I had a great experience. Amazing food, great service, fair prices, and such a lovely atmosphere. Can’t wait to come back!“

“Excellent food and lovely people!!! Recommended 100%“

“I love Bigoi Venezia! Their pasta is amazing!“

“I read the service loan not because the service staff was an issue, but I am sick and tired of being penalized for using cash. I didn’t realize I went to the counter. I made my order selected everything and then I was told if I need to pay cash. I need to go to a kiosk. Annoying because now I have to go through all these menus to figure out what I just ordered feed cash into machine wait for that to come out. Totally unnecessary step and unfortunately something that would make me not want to stop here because they added a layer of complexity. It wasn’t necessary. Now I’m sure by the tone of my review that you could probably tell how old I am but that’s fine by me. I like walking into an establishment explaining what I want paying cash and walking out. It’s that simple but yet this isn’t. That being said, the food is fabulous so if the kiosk doesn’t bother you and you never pay cash then so be it.“

“Abi was so nice! I went over to ask about his pasta and he was so sweet. He explained how he makes the pasta fresh everyday. The fettuccine was cooked just right and the Alfredo sauce had the right consistency.

The portions are much bigger that what’s shown in the photos. These were just samples.

Wishing you much success Abi.“

“I had the pleasure of spending my 50th birthday at Piccoli Trattoria with my family. Wonderful food and great atmosphere. I felt like such a birthday queen, thanks to the staff! Can’t wait to travel from Kansas to Brooklyn again so I can visit this wonderful restaurant. Thank you so much for a beautiful experience and meal!“

“Great pizza place we ordered half veggie half mediteranean , dough was on point and tge ingridients are fresh! Would order again for sure“

“The atmosphere is modern, yet cozy and comfortable. The fresh pasta and imported foods are excellent. Can’t wait to try a homemade cannoli!“

“La Trafila is an absolute gem for anyone who loves real Italian pasta. From the moment you step inside, you can feel the passion and precision behind every strand of pasta they produce. This isn’t just a pasta shop — it’s a celebration of Italian tradition, texture, and taste.

What sets La Trafila apart is their dedication to freshness and authenticity. Every shape, from the delicate tagliolini to the perfectly ridged rigatoni, is crafted with care using traditional bronze dies (trafile in Italian — now you get the name!). The result? Pasta that holds sauce beautifully and cooks to perfection every time.

Whether you’re a home cook, a chef, or just a pasta lover, this place is heaven. Their seasonal specials are creative and delicious — think truffle-infused tagliatelle or pumpkin gnocchi in the fall. And the team? Incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and proud of their work, as they should be.

La Trafila is a rare find in New York: a place where quality, tradition, and innovation meet. Once you try their pasta, there’s no going back.

Bravi!“

“i enjoyed the city feel inside this gem of a restaurant, the dining experience, was super friendly and very accommodating, I enjoyed a delicious salad followed with cacio e pepe, definitely coming back.“

“Delicious fresh homemade italian specialties! From their bread, cookies, fresh pastas, olives, cheeses, sausage the list goes on and on. Charlie and the entire staff truly treat you like family! Highly recommend 👌🏽“

“A lovely corner of Tuscany in the hearh of The City. Amazing food.“

“Love the concept of designing your own dish. Everything is fresh and the homemade pasta just like Noona’s. Cacio e Pepe, delicious, have it with crispy prosciutto. The Vegan chocolate cake - fooled me, absolutely sumptuous and I’m not a vegan. The roasted tomato sauce, perfection. This is a place where food, service and ambiance coalesce flawlessly. In two words - JUST GO!“

“This is not a restaurant. They make the best fresh made pasta. They have a retail store in little Italy, and this is where they make the pasta.
They will sell to walk in customers, but it's better to order ahead to pickup. They also sell some cheese and sauces, and a few imported items from Italy.
I used to get my pasta from Cassinelli in Astoria, and was very sad when they closed.
Now I get fresh fettuccine all the time. Last time I got a pound each of the egg, tomato and spinach lasagna sheets, and made a few tricolor lasagnas. Just fabulous!“

“Our son first shared ARCO with us several years ago. We always make sure to stop by for delicious food, friendly people, warm atmosphere, and very reasonably priced food. The owners and staff are very dedicated to your enjoyment!“

“FANTASTIC, authentic flavors and simple but genius combos. Came super hyped and recommended and lives up to the expectations every time. I tried the vanilla cream bombolone and that was a home freaking run, as well as the mozzarella tomato confit sandwich and salami, fig jam, Gorgonzola. Bread is nuts, ingredients are super fresh and delicate while still being rich and satisfying. I don’t think you can go wrong here!! I even tried the cafe leccese, which is an Italian iced espresso drink with an almond paste / cream situation that I’ve never heard of before. It was so amazing! Such a unique detail to an already delicious and balanced menu. :)“

“The vodka pasta with grilled chicken is amazing. I also tried the pesto pasta with sausage and it is just as good. The mozzarella sticks are excellent too, they come with two flavorful homemade sauces. The buffalo wings are a must-order; the sauces are perfectly balanced. Not only is their food really good, but their portions are also very generous. Their pizza is great, but I recommend giving the other items on the menu a try! The staff is also super friendly with great customer service.“

“Nous sommes venus deux fois. Endroit très sympathique et très abordable dans le centre de NYC, plats avec des ingrédients de qualité.“

“Food is awesome staff great neighborhood awesome“

“Durso’s Pasta & Ravioli Company is a beloved Flushing staple, offering an authentic Italian culinary experience rooted in tradition and quality. As soon as you step into the shop, you’re greeted by the many inviting aromas, the sight of hanging prosciutto, and a beautiful display of over 50 freshly prepared dishes, which are made daily.

The sandwiches are absolutely delicious, generously portioned, and perfect for a very hungry individual like myself or for sharing. If you are ordering ready to eat items, plan ahead as this is a strictly take out establishment.

You’ll also find a wide variety of gourmet, ready to enjoy meals, imported cheeses and meats, and Italian pantry staples and gift items. Their selection of homemade ravioli, fresh pastas, and sauces from classic marinara to rich bolognese is unmatched. The service is top notch, and the ambiance has a warm, family feel that makes every visit feel like coming home.

Durso’s combines quality, tradition, and hospitality a true Italian culinary gem in Queens.“
