Love this place all the pasta is so good. I love the atmosphere as well the truffle pasta is one of my favorite, very creamy and tasty

Expensive and not authentic. Not worth 600 bucks for 3 people. I'm sure you can find better holes in the walls in little Italy for way less

My family and I celebrated my mother in law's birthday April 18th and overall, the food and service were good. However, towards the end of our meal, we were rushed out after paying close to 500.00 for our bill. Lastly, we asked if staff could sing happy birthday or could provide a birthday dessert to sing happy birthday and the manager was very dry and said no providing no alternative to provide service to us. The waiter was great but managements only concerns was getting us out to seat the next guest waiting. Not goof or business. I would have rated this place 5 stars for decor, ambiance and food but the rude rushing us out and customer service at the end killed the experience.

A beautiful restaurant with delicious food and very nice staff. Service was quick. The pudding and chocolate cheesecake dessert were amazing. The Viva Vida drink was pretty good, didn't love it but didn't hate it. My friend and I loved our food and our waiter, a shorter gentleman with tattoos and a buzz cut, thick Italian accent.

They were so rude to me! I wasn’t dressed the part, so when I was in line for the bathroom they asked if I was eating there. Guess I was dressed too gay for them! Enjoy ur pasta!

A very cool twist of a traditional "bar" where instead of people standing around watching bartenders make drinks, staff makes fresh to order pasta. I have been twice, once by myself and then with my girlfriend, and we both enjoyed the service, wine, friendly and helpful staff, and clean facilities. While it is a bit pricy the portions are reasonable and you will feel satisfied. I loved the oil and bread, and the salads were delightful. 10/10.

Cocktails and pasta is so good. We love the burrata for sharing and my own pappardelle bolognese as main and of course the soft creamy chocolate cheesecake.As for the atmosphere, its very cool and chic with great playlist but the music is way way too loud. It fits for people who dont like to talk. And I agree with other reviewers here that we have to shout and yell to each other and that makes the whole place even noisier.Service was cordial and sweet.

Pasta was greasy / heavy and nothing really good. Very average. Special cringe is included 20% gratuity for table of 3 ppl. What is next? I do leave 20% tips, but I don’t want you to include it in my bill. The first and the last time here.

I saw this place all over social media, so I came with my friend from out of town. We started off with the burrata, which was very tasty with the side of focaccio bread. The accompanying tomato sauce was a little lacking in flavor, but the pistachio was good. For pastas/mains, my favorite was the uovo in ravioli. Not only was it very egg yolk-y, the spinach and ricotta filling was well seasoned and creamy, which then paired well with the truffle flavors. Felt like it had multiple layers and left me wanting more. I believe there is only a limited number of servings each day. The tonnarelli cacio e pepe was another highlight. I loved how peppery it was! The pepper not only provided a spice kick but also a smokey flavor. The cheesey sauce was creamy but a little too heavy for me. The pasta was al dente throughout. The agnolotti fatti a mano was also great with the flavors, but I felt like the meat filling was a little dry. Love how there is a central open kitchen area where you see them cook your pasta, as well as bar seating around it. Lighting was dim. Staff were polite. Overall, food was delicious for sure but didn't "wow" me enough to live up to the IG hype.
It's gone downhill. Horrible experience from them lying to us about our reservation change to extremely rude/ condescending staff and managerThis was an amazing spot and maybe I had a bad hand this time around, but they need to do something about how they treat people.

Run and spend your money elsewhere! We paid 200$ for undercooked and under flavored pasta dishes. Also, either they don’t have tap water or just like to upcharge by giving everyone bottled water.The service and atmosphere were nice so no complaints there but the food was meh considering the menu prices.

Firstly, the ambiance is exactly what I was hoping for. The music is loud, yet the vibes are intimate. It's a great place to bring a large group and even better for date night. We started off with the burrata followed by the truffle tagliatelle and bolognese pappardelle. Surprisingly, the burrata was the star. It's so fresh and the olive oil it sits over is simply delicious. The pasta was good too, but I definitely thought that would be the highlight of my meal. Our waiter was really amazing and very accommodating of my tree nut allergy. He's from Italy, and it's always nice to have that at an Italian restaurant. I recommend going to Little Ways before your reservation for a pre dinner drink.

A Pasta Bar was A mazing!!! It lived up to all expectations! We loved the atmosphere, the music & especially the food! Even my sparkling rose was fabulous! We shared the scallops as an appetizer...sensational. Then we had the papardelle bolognese & the eggplant pasta which was a mixture of a ravioli & beggars purse. The sauces complimented the dishes perfectly! My favorite part was the dark chocolate caramel ricotta cheesecake...which did NOT taste like its name at all; it was even better! It tasted not too rich, but super creamy, with a caramel graham cracker crust...it was the BEST dessert I've ever had and the portion was huge!!! We will definitely be coming back & telling everyone about our experience!!!
