Pasta Restaurants near Long Island City, NY

“Let's start with nice samosas (jumbo size - they have smaller size too). They are very crispy with a good flavor. Nice option for yourself or to share, well better don't share :). Then a Dosa (kind of Indian pancake or burrito) with chicken tásala (they ask you how spicy you want). The chicken has a good flavor, so it s a good option when you are boring to eat traditional fast food. The sauces are ok but the Tamarindo was the best with a sweet and a little spicy flavor. The place is pretty small, you order at the cashier, seat, eat and go. Jumbo Samosas, Dosa and Coke: 14$ is the hit to your wallet. मेरे दोस्त को शुभकामनाएँ 🇮🇳 Enjoy your food my friend 🇺🇸 More Food and Entertainment in NY with your new fiend.... @elmanudominguez (Instagram and YouTube videos)“

“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.“

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

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

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

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

“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.“

My good friend comes from Long Island to shop for her husband and kids when she visits me in Brooklyn! The best love ya Pastosa Ravioli 🫶🫶🫶🫶🩷“

“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…“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“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“

“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%“

“So this is a factory, not a storefront. I ordered a Too Good to Go bag from here through the app. For $6.39 including tax, we got 2 packages of spaghetti-type noodles and 2 boxes of ravioli. We were told the ravioli were either cheese, spinach or mushroom, which is fine with us!! That's half the fun of a TGTG bag - not knowing what you're going to get! The bag was enough for about 3 meals for 5, 3 of whom are big eaters. It was a little hard to find - the GPS took us to the back of the building, so we went around the block to the front. There is a ramp/loading dock to the right. We walked up that into the loading area, and knocked on the office window. Someone came out and got someone from the factory to get our pasta. This was a 30 minute drive for us, so next time we will definitely order 2 bags!! Can't wait for dinner tonight!!“

“Best ravioli by far!! Try the stuffed olives with cheese they are a must“

“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 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.“

“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!“

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

“This texas girl fell in love with their thin crust pizza or as they are called there pies!! 💯 recommend you wont regret it! Our server was very nice and attentive and the atmosphere is perfect for a chill day or night 🙌🏽💕“

“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 👌🏽“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“We were treated to these donuts from our colleague. Omggggg the filled vanilla creme DONUT is PERFECTION .. Wow!!!
Light, fluffy, AND with the perfect amount of vanilla creme, that's not too sweet.
I can't wait to get some more stuff from here .“

“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.“
