It’s an ok casual restaurant. I felt that the pasta selection could have been better. The prosciutto and the burrata was excellent. Service was good as well.

Had a great meal here last night. Started with meatballs plus a warm beet & goat cheese salad, followed by Paccheri with flank steak ragù & the swordfish tagliatelle special. Everything was delicious. Our server Oscar was a star - very friendly and efficient. $100 for food plus $100 for wine. Definitely will be back.

Very nice little restaurant. Everything is fresh and of very good quality. Small, selected menu, as we know it from Italy. Very friendly staff who keep the standard high. Prices are typical for New York. Clear recommendation, even for vegetarians.

I had friends in from out of town staying in the area so I chose to meet them at Pastai without knowing anything about the restaurant except for review. I couldn't have been happier about the choice. A nice local restaurant away from the tourist traps. We started with appetizers, fried artichokes, caponada, and octopus... all wonderful. My partner and I shared cauliflower pasta, and brancino. Both were wonderful. My guest had a panini and pasta with tuna. They both said it was wonderful. For dessert we decided to split a creme brulee. Which was also wonderful. The staff there couldn't have been more friendly or more help. We really all enjoyed having our meal here. It was of delightful reunion which was only made more delightful by this wonderful restaurant.

Great experience. The food was fresh, good and reasonable portions. The service was very friendly. The music was not loud, which allowed us to talk while having a pleasant dinner. I highly recommend the duck ravioli and the black squid tagliatelle!!
Enjoyed an amazing genovese sauce on homemade pasta in a cute setting off the high line. Sit by the bar for great conversation, have a table with friends or enjoy the outdoor space. True hidden gem filled with great food and conversations!

I sat on the sidewalk and enjoyed tasty pasta and great service. The staff was very friendly and came check on me many times. It was perfect for my craving for pasta between work and a theater play.

This is a must when in Amsterdam, meal sized just right. The spaghetti was amazing!
Great place to check out , food was 10 out 10 service was great and the wine was delicious 🤤

Super average, ate there when I was hungry and kind of regretted not searching for a better option.
We had an amazing time at Pastai, such an elegant spot, Mo at the bar really took care of us, and the food was super delicious. The fried artichoke was almost like a vegetarian calamari. I had the Bucatini Con Cavolfior and really loved it, my boyfriend had the ravioli which I shamelessly stole a bite. I wasn’t going to get dessert but got talked into it, and SO glad I did—the Parmesan crème brûlée was to die for, and I also stole a bite of my boyfriend’s flowerless cake and ice cream, which was also super tasty. I almost ate too much but no regrets 😂 We will have to go back soon and try a few more new things! As a vegetarian, Pastai has a bunch of really good options and a great balance on the menu.
