Love this little gem in Woodinville. Our family has had many lovely dinners over the years. The food is always great. I usually get the chicken my husband the Salmon. Their meatballs are my favorite as well as the minestrone soup.
Pasta nova has always been excellent food and treated me like family when I show up the food is simply awesome and the bucket list item every time I’m in the Seattle area
i know this rating may look bad but it’s really not. the food was great, everything was cooked very well and i ate every bite. the ambiance was pretty and it didn’t feel cramped despite it being a small space. our waiter was courteous and checked on us regularly.
the only problem i have is that the food is *very* pricey. my eggplant parm — which, btw, did NOT come with pasta — was more expensive than some of the meat dishes on the menu. it was a fairly large portion but i’m not sure if it was $35 large.
speaking of the meat dishes, the majority of them come with sausage (pork) so for any other ppl that cannot eat it (like myself) just make sure you double check the menu! it’s all listed.
overall i had a good time and i enjoyed my food, but i'm unsure if i will return bc of the pricing. i understand that it’s bougie woodinville but i think this may be a “one & done” type place for me.

I’m not even sure how I stumbled across the gem, but good grief am I happy about it. The food and taste truly embody the Italian spirit. The salad was very hearty for a half, and everything tasted fresh. The gnocchi was even more delicious and had just the right punch in the vodka sauce!

FOUND IT! The best Italian food for 30 miles around Woodinville!
Let me start from the beginning, when we arrived, early on a Wednesday when it was quiet and before they got too busy.
We were greeted by the host who kindly sat us by the window so we could admire the art and brilliant decor. Chill music played softly in the background giving a nice atmosphere in which to relax after a hard day’s work.
Our server promptly greeted us and asked if we had any questions. For some reason I didn’t even want to read the menu, nor did my partner, so I said, “Could you bring us wine, appetizers, and entres that would be the best introduction to your restaurant?”
The reply was a big, gracious smile. “Yes! Right away!” Was his reply.
He brought out a lovely Italian red wine blend. Then came some of the best bread ever, and Italian meatballs in a bed of red sauce that was divine. I mean exceptional.
I opened the Bellagio, Circo, from NY and the Maccioni family. I have a decent sense of good Italian food, and Pasta Nova is a gem. A diamond of the finest order.
But it gets better. Our entre was a grilled prawns linguine in a white sauce. Oh my! That plate tasted better and better with each bite.
But it gets better. We were served amazing coffee - check my reviews - I’m a coffee snob. This coffee, taken black, was sooo good. It’s why we love coffee!
But, the tiramisu. Folks, I’m a skinny guy who eats salads at home. I don’t have a big appetite, and yet I devoured that tiramisu and could’ve eaten more. I love tiramisu. It’s the perfect dessert. And Pasta Nova’s tiramisu is the best in Puget Sound.
So do yourself a favor and head over to Woodinville and Pasta Nova. There’s easy parking, wheelchair access, and a kid friendly environment for all friends and family. Enjoy fine dining at the reasonable price. You’ll go back, I guarantee.
Parking: All kinds of free parking and always available.
Kid-friendliness: Perfect for kids and teenagers to get them to eat the finest Italian meals.
Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access.

First time at Pasta Nova. How did I not know this gem was right here. Best Italian food in the area for sure. We asked the waiter to bring us whatever the chef recommended. The Italian blend wine was a perfect choice. Then we started with homemade meatballs and their homemade bread with olive oil. My oh my. Delicious. The entree was seafood linguine with perfectly cooked pasta and grilled prawns. Equally fantastic. Our hunger was sufficiently satisfied but we couldn’t leave without trying the house-made tiramisu and an espresso. I have not had better tiramisu. From the host to the waiter to the chef, it was a beautiful experience. The restaurant is beautiful and the ambience is perfect. I will be back.

Overpriced for quality of food, surrounds and service.
Far from authentic Italian. The gnocchi was rubbery and tasted like it was out of a packet.

OMG! Angels will sing! Absolute gem of an Italian restaurant in Woodinville Washington. Do not miss this pearl! Best wine by the glass Best, prepared with love, meal. Best service! You will not be disappointed by this tiny gem. Make a reservation so they know you are coming. Awesome for 2-3 people. If more in your party, call ahead and be prepared for a short wait.Or just order appetizers and enjoy the moment. Great atmosphere for a gem tucked away in a strip mall.

Just stopped in for a great meal and wine. As I am from out of town, I had to choose based on pictures and reviews online. This was a perfect meal and the service was stellar. If I lived in the area I would be back often.
The kind staff served us small servings of pricey, overseasoned food. I wouldn't recommend this for any reason to anyone unfortunately, Woodinville deserves a better neighborhood Italian restaurant.

Pasta nova serves classic Italian dishes that are mouthwateringly savory. Fresh delicate pastas combine with complex red sauces and hearty meats. This is a weekly fave.
Over a decade ago I lived in Woodinville and would frequent Pasta Nova. I never had a bad experience. The service was exceptional and the food as well. I believe our waiter was always Raphael? Anywho I'm happy to see your still around. I definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants good tasting food and great service.

First we had our complimentary bread. That was cold, not even room temp. We ordered Caesar salad and our lettuce was brown. I ordered the special that was supposed to have portobello mushrooms, that were no where to be found. Also my pasta noodles was clumped together.
