Absolutely love pastavinos, David is an amazing waiter that is always on top of his stuff. We love coming here and love when we get him as a server

May I just say, this dining experience was beyond wonderful. We started with the formaggi (a selection of Italian cheeses) and Cabernet. They provide delicious classic Italian bread and olive oil infused with rosemary when you are seated. Our main courses were Cacio e Pepe, Casarecce, and Gnocchi with roasted pumpkin, sage, pumpkin puree, and toasted pumpkin seeds. All the pasta is made in house. Each dish was divine and the portions plentiful. The gnocchi in particular was excellent.
We were treated as though we were the only people there, which added to an already delightful experience. We will be back!

Pretty decor, good service. The pasta bolognese was delicious. Unfortunately, I can't say the same about the branzino. Whenever branzino is offered on a menu, I order it, because it's a favorite of mine. However, I was so disappointed in this particular dish because it was drowned in a very rich butter sauce. It completely ruined it for me. I am always amazed when restaurants make this grave mistake with any fish: they put too much sauce or seasoning on it and it takes away from the fish. Let the fish speak for itself! Trust me, if you're ordering fish, it's because YOU LIKE FISH. When it's over-seasoned, or in this case, over-sauced, all you taste is the sauce. And to be honest, the sauce was too buttery anyway. Too rich. I didn't feel well after I ate it. Fish is best served with few ingredients, so that you can actually enjoy the flavor of the fish. All of this being said, I still intend to come back to try another dish, because there were plenty of good choices on the menu that were not fish. I'd go back for that bolognese again and again!

We ate outside because it was a beautiful evening and it is Quiter outside. Service was great as was the food and cocktails. The Pesce Milano was perfectly done.

Great meal! We sat outside which was lovely but inside looks great too. We really loved the Parma focaccia and the chicken parm with spicy vodka sauce is delicious. Pricey but worth it in my opinion. Great service from our waiter Fernando too!

We had a disappointing experience at Pastavino service was ok. The food was mediocre nothing special the veggie was no cook, the Bronzino was half of the fish, calamari was more bread crumbs, Eggplant was very salty, in general overprice. I wouldn't recommend to dine here.

One of the few Italian restaurants on the island that actually delivers on authentic Italian cuisine. From imported sparkling water from Italy to first and second courses you’d see over seas, this restaurant truly delivers. Inside you’re met with beautiful counter tops and a sprawling floor to ceiling wine rack while outside you can take in the New York Harbor with views of Brooklyn and Manhattan. A perfect place for any occasion for sure.

Disappointing Birthday Experience

Came here to celebrate a birthday with my family, hoping for a special evening, but unfortunately the experience fell far short. The place comes off as quite pretentious, but the food didn’t live up to the image—it was average at best. Service was underwhelming throughout the night.

What really left a bad impression was how we were treated at the end. Despite the restaurant being half empty, the host approached my son, not even me, to say we had 30 minutes left because our table was “reserved.” Completely inappropriate and unprofessional, especially during a family celebration.

Truly disappointing. Wouldn’t return or recommend
