This is a must when in Amsterdam, meal sized just right. The spaghetti was amazing!
Really nice place. Lovely atmosphere. Delicious food. Owned by a really great guy who is a great neighbor for the community ! If only every business was such an asset to their surroundings !
The owner saw me peering into the window and asked if I wanted to get a meal even though they were already closed. I’m so excited to try this pasta I’m walking home with! What a kind human. I really needed that kindness tonight.

Pastai Restaurant offers a delightful dining experience in New York City. The staff is very friendly and attentive, providing excellent service that goes above and beyond. Customers have noted that the atmosphere is cozy, making it a favorite neighborhood spot in Chelsea. The pasta dishes are praised for their exceptional taste and freshness, with the regginette, fried artichokes, and arugula salad being particular standouts. The lobster pasta was mentioned as good, but not as special as other dishes. The cozy and beautiful decor creates an authentic Italian ambiance, and Pastai Restaurant caters to those with dietary restrictions, offering a range of gluten-free options for pasta, appetizers, and desserts.
The chef's table is a great spot for dinner, where Italian chefs Luigi & Ricardo create delicious food and wine pairings. The paccheri alla genovese, sfinci di ricotta, and tiramisu are excellent choices, while the Bucatini Con Cavolfior and ravioli are super delicious. Desserts like the Parmesan crème brûlée and flourless cake are to die for. With quick service, mellow lighting, and a great balance of vegetarian options, Pastai remains an elegant and highly recommended spot. Customers describe the dining experience as "absolutely outstanding" and "a must-visit in NYC," easily deserving its 5-star rating.
