Pasta Restaurants in New York, NY

“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“

“Delicious genuine Tuscan menu specializing in pasta.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!“

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

“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 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!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Best fresh pasta in the city“

“yummy and delicious“

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

“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!“

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

“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!“

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

“Came here to watch the world cup final since every other bar on our route was full. We got here just in time to get some seats. Pizza and beer were good. We wanted garlic knots but they were out so we got a discount on a bag of chips. Overall, glad we ended up 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.“

“Great pizza and friendly staff. Highly recommend!“

“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 🙌🏽💕“

“Every now and then I have lunch at Previti’s and I recommend you stop in and enjoy very well prepared Italian culinary art👌“

“This place is probably the best slice of pizza 🍕 in NYC! 🗽 NAPOLI PIZZA on 6th Ave near BRYANT PARK and TIMES SQUARE is a must-visit pitstop 🚏 on your next trip to the City! 🏙️ This iconic spot serves delicious 🤤 pizza by slice or pie - definitely try their cheese 🧀 slice! They serve halal food as well. Lines are long sometimes but service is quick ⏲️ and the staff 👨‍🍳 is super friendly! There's limited seating 🪑 so be prepared to dine quickly.“

“Transports me back to Italy. Authentic Italian cuisine. Fresh, real ingredients. Favorite "go to place" in the area.“

“I have been going to this store for years! Now located in the lower level of shops at Chelsea Market. They sell ready made food, scrumptious desserts and many Italian items you need to cook and serve your Italian meal!“

“Oh WOW! Honestly the best pizza I've ever had! Got a slice of the meat lovers pizza and it was THAT good I'm willing to fly back again from the U.K just to get it again!!!!!!“

“Best pizza in the city and you also have to try the chicken cutlet with the penne pasta but the real deal is the guy who owns the joint. His name is nick he’s nice. He’s very caring very good hearted and that’s the best thing. The service is wonderful.“

“Fantastic food and service.“

“Stopped in on a Sunday afternoon to an empty shop. It looked like no one was there with pots full of half cooked gnocchi in sauce and not a sound or anyone to be seen. After a minute or so someone finally came around the corner as we were about to leave. She took our order and then proceeded to turn on the stove to get the water boiling and put in some fresh gnocchi. She then turned on one of the other pots that was partially filled with sauce and gnocchi that was sitting there cold. She barely said a word to us aside from our order total and in between moments of uncomfortable silence she spoke as if she was on the phone with someone and noticed an airpod in her ear. After a minute or two, to our surprise, she stirred both pots, scooped in some fresh gnocchi to the old, then proceeded to scoop the mixed batch in to a container and handed it to us. By that point our expectations were pretty low as we left but, thankfully, the pasta was delicious! Expecting partially cooked pasta we were pleasantly surprised that it was not. Really wish I experience matched the food but all in all it was worth the stop and we were happy we did. I would definitely come back but maybe visit a different location next time.“

“We ordered for the first time tonight and we will definitely be back!“

“I’ve visited New York only five times, but my ex-wife grew up in the city.

After striking out with several disappointing pizza places I chose at random, I asked her where I should go. This was her top recommendation, and she was spot-on.

Excellent slice, fun staff, and easily the best pizza I had on the trip.“

“Loved the freshly made Sandwiches. Rather enjoyed the authentic taste, coming from almost 100 years of tradition.“

“Jean Carlos was a phenomenal server. Gave us the best recommendations and was so kind and generous. He had the warmest vibe and made the experience extra special for us. The food was delicious had the Brussels sprout salad which was lovely, the pesto pasta, and the salmon—enjoyed all of them zero complaints! Jean Carlos was the star of the show though!!! Amazing service“

“I had a great experience at iPizzaNY! The pizza is absolutely delicious — perfectly crispy crust with fresh, flavorful ingredients that really stand out. You can tell they care about quality. What I also love is that they’re not just about pizza. In the mornings, they serve tasty bagel sandwiches, and for lunch, their soups are a great option, especially if you’re looking for something warm and comforting.The service is quick, and the staff are always friendly and welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better. On top of that, the prices are very reasonable, and the location is super convenient.
Definitely a spot I’d recommend if you’re in the area!“

“Great pizza, great octopus. 10/10.“

“The best food at some great prices.“

“Trato inmejorable, la elegancia en la mesa no tiene porque ser cara . Precio, calidad perfecta“

“Orion Diner & Grill is exactly what a classic NYC diner should be. The menu is massive, the food is consistently excellent, and the service is always fast and friendly. Whether you're stopping in for a massive breakfast combo, a killer burger, or their amazing matzo ball soup, they never disappoint. It’s clean, comfortable, and always hits the spot. Highly recommend!“

“Now this is Harlem pizza I can get behind. Beautiful quality cheese, sauce, & crust make a highly satisfying regular slice, w/ a sausage slice for good measure & additional flavor. I wouldn't doubt if Trufa was about as well esteemed as Patsy's! I must admit that I'd walked past this place several times before noticing it.“

“If I could give Amuse 10 stars I would. The drinks are stellar, but the staff really make it. Cate, Amy, Brian, Guillermo, and the team provide impeccable service. They’re efficient, considerate, and sociable. The espresso martini is out of this world. I’m a local and I’m a regular. Whether you’re visiting the city or just passing through midtown, the open yet cozy ambiance of Amuse is an ideal reprieve from the city.“

“Had the full Chef's Tasting Menu Experience. Brando was just amazing with how he guided us linguistically through a epicurean tour of the many Italian regions that inspired the menu. He and the entire staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome to come back again. We certainly will.“

“One of the best traditional slices in the city!! IMHO. Make sure I stop every time I’m in NYC.“
