A Pasta Bar

The service felt rushed, and our appetizer arrived after we finished our main course. We were seated at the bar directly in front of the kitchen, which could have been interesting, but instead, we were constantly distracted by the staff tossing used pots, pans, and empty containers into the cleaning area right in front of us. I also noticed the chef handling food with gloves and then touching an order paper without changing or sanitizing them. It seemed like the gloves were just to keep their hands clean, not for hygiene. The food was okay but overpriced.

Cute restaurant in Soho. We sat on the patio. We had burrata and cherry tomatoes salad, then shared 3 pastas that were delicious. Only downside was there was no AC and it was a hot day in NYC!

Stumbled upon A PASTA BAR while looking for a place to have a quick drink! We stopped because we liked the aesthetic it was giving, such a beautiful restaurant. I now wish I got some pasta to go, but I’ll be back to try a dish or two. As far as the drinks… so good, well balanced and I love when fresh fruits are used to make the drinks. P.S it’s a bit pricey but if you want to go for a nice Italian dinner experience… come by!

Amazing restaurant, I had a great time here. Drinks are great, I got the unknown caller and casual affair. The casual affair was my favorite as it was on the sweeter side. The homemade burrata was good. For pastas I tried the Tonnarelli Cacio e Pepe and Uovo in Ravioli, both super delicious. The tiramisu was amazing a must try. Would totally come here again.

I don't know this was how many times I came here for dinner, one very important tip: please book indoor dining, they have very good music. And the atmosphere is totally different when you dine in.

We had our Lunch at the Chefs table and enjoyed it very much. Prices are on the high side, Service ok, but not special. Wine ok.

I stopped by after seeing this all over TikTok. The main focus is definitely the kitchen, with chefs cooking right in front of you. We ordered the five shared plates and expected them to come out one at a time, but they all arrived at once and the waiter seemed to be rushing us to finish. The pastas were too salty or too bland. With all the great Italian options in the city, I wouldn't come back. It's not worth the hype.

I had a great experience. I chose a prix fixe menu with a salad, pasta, and tiramisu! The chickpea salad I ordered was delicious. If corn were added, it would bring some sweetness that would enhance the taste. The pasta I chose was Tonnarelli Cacio e Pepe. It had Pecorino fondue and black pepper flavor. Creamy, peppery, and with a perfectly chewy texture, the pasta was amazing—I loved it! The tiramisu was a large portion, and though I couldn’t finish it, it was very good. The servers were nice, checking on me just enough to make sure I was okay, without being overly friendly, which made for a comfortable experience. I’ll definitely come back!

So happy I walked by A Pasta Bar and decided to make a resy for the following week. The restaurant is modern and clean. Server was friendly. + Casual Affair 5/5: The best watermelon cocktail. It's sweet and refreshing, and doesn't taste boozy. + Uovo In Raviolo 5/5: Creamy spinach ricotta ravioli topped with a ton of truffles. I thought it was super flavorful and rich. + Tagliatelle All'Astice 5/5: Omg so delicious! I love al dente tagliatelle, savory lobster bisque, and fresh lobster chunks. I enjoyed every bite but wish there was more lobster meat for the hefty price. Unfortunately I had to deduct one star because our water cups were not refilled throughout the meal. The bathroom also needs help lol. Both the toilet and the faucet are loose and need to be tightened.

Came here for drinks after a large brunch nearby. We were seated pretty quickly around 4pm on a Saturday and our waiter was amiable. Not being a fan of cucumber cocktails, I did find theirs pretty tasty. I would say half an hour in, we started feeling rushed which increasingly grew and became a turn off considering the prices here. While we only ordered an appetizer, we were constantly ordering drinks which are $20+. Overall, good drinks, but my experience was tainted by the overly hyped rush and to top it off, it's interesting how gratuity was charged for table of 4 adults and 2 small kids.

I visited A Pasta Bar a few months ago with my girlfriend, and while it was an okay experience back then, tonight was a completely different story. I went back tonight, this time with my service dog. Upon arrival, I asked the hostess if they had any bar seating or a table available. I made it clear that my dog is a service dog and even offered to show his ID. The hostess responded with a sarcastic smile, which felt dismissive. She then told me she'd check with her manager. After a few minutes, she returned and said, "Sorry, we don't have any tables or seating." This was at 9 pm on a Wednesday, and I could clearly see several empty tables. It seemed obvious that they didn't want to seat us because of my service dog. Adding to the frustration, another staff member, who wasn't even the manager, approached me and started an unnecessary argument. The behavior of the hostess and the staff was completely unprofessional and rude. I will never visit this place again, and I'd advise others to think twice before going here. Their staff clearly needs a lesson in basic hospitality and respect.

I really wanted to give this place 5 stars. But the service knocked off 2 stars. I went here for my friend's birthday, and I arrived a bit earlier than expected. I approached the hostess to let her know I was there, and she looked me up and down before bluntly saying, "You'll be seated when your party is here," then walked away. No smile, no greeting--just total snobbery. The place was 75% empty, so I don't understand why I couldn't wait at the bar, especially since my reservation was there! Please be aware that they enforce a strict dress code. I wore a dress and heels. When my friend finally arrived, I told the hostess my party was here. She led me to a table, and I reminded her I had reserved a spot at the chef's counter, even showing her the confirmation. She rolled her eyes and said, "I don't know why it was switched. Give me a second." (Was it switched on purpose? My RBF was strong at this point.) After looking around for a bit, she finally seated us at the chef's counter. Overall, the entire experience left a bad taste in my mouth. I definitely felt discriminated as seen on others' reviews. Because the hostess allowed another girl (who was white) to sit at the table to wait for her other 3 friends but I couldn't? I loved the pasta! The pasta tasting was definitely worth it, especially for the generous amount of truffles they served--it was absolutely delicious. We started with the prosciutto, and while I wanted to try the burrata, it was clear it wasn't homemade. I saw the chefs open a prepackaged burrata and simply plate it, which was disappointing for $30. We also ordered a bottle of wine, and my personal favorite pasta was the Tagliatelle al Tartufo Nero. For dessert, we had the signature budino and loved the touch of hazelnuts. All that for a whopping total of $402 excluding gratuity. The server was quite indifferent during our interactions and didn't seem very attentive. Honestly, I'd rather have given the gratuity to the hardworking chefs. Love the pasta but not sure if I'd ever go out of my away to come back here for the poor experience. To the hostess: Don't judge people and lose the attitude.

Ok so the pasta was great. Vibes were cool with music blasting and chefs hard at work in the center of the restaurant where you can see everything. But it was hot outside and they did not turn the AC on. Everybody was literally sweating. Customers, servers, chefs, all dripping sweat and constantly wiping their faces. Can't not imagine sweat being dropped in our dishes. Asked the server about the AC, she rolled her eyes and said "it's supposed to be turned on". Implying they purposely had it off that night. So as good as the pasta was, this made it hard to enjoy the experience as it was uncomfortably hot and we were sweating. Can't Imagine being bringing a date here as cool of a place it is. Disappointing experience. With that said. The food was fantastic. Specially the truffle tagliatelle, and the dry sausage pasta. The latter was very unique and delicious. Turn the AC on peoples!

This is a GREAT pasta bar. Our waiter was such a fun, kind Italian man with amazing recommendations. We ate the Agnolotti 'Fatti A Mano' which was our favorite, the Cacio e Pepe and the Rigatoni Bolonese. For appetizers we got the Burrata and Crocchette. Overall great restaurant, cute spot, good service. Would gladly return.

Made a reservation at the chef's counter. I think a table in the indoor/outdoor space would've been nicer. Once you see them make the pasta once there's not much else to see. We ordered the Uovo in Raviolo to start. Supposedly they only make a set amount a night. It didn't seem like a popular dish. It was good; I liked the creaminess. If I had bread I would've wiped the plate clean. But not sure it was worth $33; I guess that's due to the truffle. Then we had the tonnarelli cacio e Pepe and the bolognese. They were good but this wouldn't be my favorite place for pasta. We had tiramisu for dessert. We cleaned the plate! Overall we didn't love it and thought the $130+ bill was a bit much especially since no alcohol was ordered. I wound up being hungry later in the night!

DO NOT EAT HERE! Extremely discriminatory experience. I am writing to express my extreme disappointment and frustration with my recent experience here. I was denied entry due to what I believe was a discriminatory application of your dress code policy. Despite being dressed similarly to other patrons who were allowed to dine, I was refused service. I was particularly upset to see that a white male patron who was dressed in a less formal manner than I was allowed to enter. I attempted to discuss the situation with the hostess and manager, but unfortunately, their responses were unsatisfactory. I was left feeling upset, humiliated, and discriminated against. This incident has left a negative impression on me and has made me hesitant to return to the establishment in the future. I believe that your restaurant's actions were not only discriminatory but also harmful. I urge you to take this matter seriously and review your dress code policies to ensure a more inclusive dining experience for all patrons. Having a dress code is fine. Enforcing dress code is completely completely fine. What is not OK? Allowing white people to be dressed out of dress code, but not allowing Black people to be dressed out of dress code.

We came here with a reservation for the chefs seating which is bar-type seating right in front of the kitchen where they make the pastas. Very nice inside with housey music. Small restaurant but elegant! The chicken croquette appetizer wasn't our favorite, but it was okay. The pastas however, were AMAZING! Absolutely loved the ragu, great flavor and amount of meat. The cacio e Pepe was rich and creamy. Can't wait to come back and try different pastas and dessert!

A great experience! Did the multi course option, the truffle linguine was our absolute favorite. Perfect for a date night and or a night out with friends.

Have heard about @apastabar a couple times and it turned out to be a lot more clubby vibes than I was expecting - think pretty decorations, loud music, and people who were dressed for the evening. Actually the music was so loud that everyone was yelling at each other at the table, so not the spot if you actually want to have a conversation. The pasta was good but definitely more Italian American with the heavy seasoning and everything on the saltier side. I preferred the raviolo out of the 2 we ordered. My favorite was the burrata. It was really nice with the dressing and lots of pistachios to go with it. Love pistachios! Overall I'm glad that I tried it, but given the options there are in the city, I probably wouldn't proactively visit again.

Although super busy on the weekends, we managed to get bar seating since the next reservation wasn't arriving until an hour later. The service was great, albeit the waitress felt a little pushy when it came to upselling us on more expensive appetizers as well as the pasta tasting option. It was super cool to sit at the bar and see all the chefs work and I wish more restaurants had this concept. I ordered: * Chef's Salad - 7/10: solid salad that probably looked more pretty than it tastes though the avocado cream was a nice touch * Cacio e Pepe - 8/10: super creamy pasta with exceptionally chewy noodles; if you're a cheese lover then you're going to love this dish Also, I don't know why they were so penny-pinching with the bread because they only gave one small ass slice per person. I think this is a good place to try at least once, but I personally would not go back.

Amazing restaurant, I had a great time here. Drinks are great, I got the unknown caller and casual affair. The casual affair was my favorite as it was on the sweeter side. The homemade burrata was good. For pastas I tried the Tonnarelli Cacio e Pepe and Uovo in Ravioli, both super delicious. The tiramisu was amazing a must try. Would totally come here again.

Super cute bar that serves delicious pasta and pizzas! The waygu tartar was loved by the group. There's def not many options if you aren't a pasta/ pizza or meat eater- there's a few salads that are delicious but that would be it. The drinks though are DELICIOUS- their version or a apéro spritz, and the tiramisu was also a fan dave! I would personally pop by amazing drinks on their patio and prob dine somewhere else but that's solely because I'm not a fan of pasta or pizza. Service is top notch!

Second time at A Pasta Bar We opted for individual pasta dishes from the à la carte menu, and every item, from appetizers to the main courses, was exceptionally delicious. Table favorite was the Tagliolini Al Ragu Bianco Service was impeccable, the ambiance was lively. Overall a great evening, thanks to the amazing food served by A Pasta Bar

I and my friend have wanted to go here for a while - back when it was originally Sola Pasta Bar (iykyk). We were able to snag a reservation late Friday evening for al fresco dining. One thing we didn't realize was that there was a Hugo Boss collab with A Pasta Bar, so I got to try at the disco and the boss drink, which were not originally on the menu. Both were mezcal based drinks, which were incredibly tasty. We opted for the pasta tasting in which were able to try 5 dishes: - Tagliatella Al Tartufo Nero (8.5/10) - Agnolotti Di Zucca Mantovani (9/10) - Tonnarelli Cacio e Pepe (7.5/10) - Rigatoni All'Arrabbiata (9.5/10) - Spaghetti Alle Vongole (9/10) Each dish was rich, hearty, and well flavored and the pastas were perfectly al dente every single time. The staff was on top of their game- we had each dish on our table before we finished the last one, and our drinks came out fast each time. We finished the night off with the alla banana. It was good but I felt like it was a little too rich after all of the amazing pastas we had, nevertheless, still really good. Super excited to come back here and try dining at the counter!

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.

I cannot rave enough about our experience at A Pasta Bar. I'm very glad we happened upon it as we walked toward our hotel. First, this is a poppin' place - the music, the staff, and the menu are very trendy. The music was awesome, but wasn't super quiet, if you're looking for a relaxed date, this probably isn't your spot. All of the staff was more than friendly, which made the experience even better. We tried two cocktails - both perfect - but the favorite is the current co-branded BOSS cocktail. I'm not sure how long the drink will be on the menu, but it's perfect, so I hope it never goes away. As for food, we did the tasting menu and couldn't be happier. I'm not sure which course I enjoyed the most, they were that good. However, if I was picking one to stay away from, I wouldn't get the clams again - not that it wasn't good, but it wasn't as flavorful as the others. This could be the best pasta I've ever had, hands down. Definitely grab the strawberry dessert too. It's light and airy, but full to taste.

Great place for a date night or dinner with a friend! The ambiance is more intimate so better for a smaller group. The food is fantastic but definitely comes at a price. I got the cacio e pepe and it was worth the hype! Not only beautifully plated but also absolutely delicious! My friend got the bolognese and also really enjoyed it. We ended our meal with the tiramisu which was so decadent! Definitely on the creamier side with less cake but I loved it. Overall, a great place if you're in the mood to splurge a little for some high quality italian food!

This review has everything to do with the experience overall. I brought my boyfriend to A Pasta Bar for his birthday dinner and thought the experience would be amazing; that was not the case. The food was great as I have eaten here before Here is just a quick rundown of what we had: - We started with the burrata (it is simply amazing and done so differently from other restaurants) - Pasta tasting (I would recommend doing the tasting if you and your date want to try all of the pastas) my top two were the Cacio e Pepe and the truffle. - Tiramisu (really moist and full of flavor) The ambiance of the restaurant is super trendy and has a "be seen" vibe. The service was fine up until the end and this is where everything went wrong and the reason for the one star review: My boyfriend had to use the bathroom and as my boyfriend was locking the door security bursts in after him and grabs his arm and asks him to leave the restaurant immediately and that the bathroom is for guest only. Once my boyfriend returned to the table we told the wait staff and all she did was chuckle and say that they must have thought he was from the bar "Felix" next door; which is definitely not an excuse. We were never given an apology and management never came over. No one should put their hands on anyone and if you have a suspicion of something you should ask the person if they are indeed a guest, or maybe ask the wait staff as there were not many guest left in the restaurant. We should press charges against the security/ restaurant for the hostile behavior as this is not acceptable at all! I will not be returning to A Pasta Bar and I offer this review as a huge WARNING!

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.

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!!!

5 stars!! Nico made our experience absolutely incredible. The food was authentic and was exactly what we were looking for. I would highly recommend the raviolo. Again, cannot say enough good things about Nico, a true gem. We sat on the patio and we will be back!

OK, no joke, best pasta I've ever had in my life. It was a pretty hot night, so still hot inside since there are no walls. I recommend sitting a the bar, where we sat, so you can watch the masters at work. The pasta was fresh, the pasta was tasty, and they really know how to put that together. We ordered the truffle pasta and the scampi pasta. They were both AMAZING! The truffles in the sauce of the truffle pasta and the truffles on top of the pasta really came through. The scampi pasta was rediculous. The breadcrumbs on top of the pasta really brought it all together. I even bought some breadcrumbs at home so that i can top all of my pasta with it. Everyone should go here and taste the pasta, which was amazing.

Giving 1 star to bring awareness towards the burrata. I regular here often, the truffle pasta is one of the best in the city. I suggest finishing off your date here, one pasta between two is a great night cap. I use to get the burrata here, untill I sat at the kitchen and watched them prepare it. Almost 30 dollars for a pre packaged burruta you can find at your local supermarket. The brand is called burrata con panna lioni. I attached a photo of the container while sitting at the bar. You should come here and get the burrata to experience good old nyc robbery.

Amazing anniversary dinner! Trendy, busy and delicious with great service. You'll need a resi 100%. The floral space is jam packed with tables as well as a Hibachi style open kitchen and a small bar. There's also outdoor seating. Folks were well dressed and the bathroom is wife approved. We sat chefs table and ordered the Wagyu tartar- deliciously seasoned with a texture that reminded me of tuna tartar, but better. Could have used more of the pillowy focaccia but the server was kind enough to big bread for the remaining portion. We split the limited supply ravioli- super rich, yolky and satisfying. We also split the bolognese, as good as Nonna ever made, FUGETBOUTIT! With its name sake, you can expect freshly made, amazingly textured pasta. We also had drinks which were sadly, less than good. Didn't finish my Viva Vida, my wife wasn't into the Paolo. They weren't offensive, just didn't compliment the food flavors and not particularly tasty. A Pasta Bat will be a repeat. Looking forward to our next meal at A pasta bar.

Came here for a friends birthday but didn't snag a bar seat so we didn't get to watch the chefs cook. The truffle pasta is good but wouldn't come back for the rigatoni. Good ambience.

This restaurant has a nice, upscale vibe. A profanity-forward neon sign adorns one wall. To start, we had the chef's salad. It had a very artful presentation with the cucumber delicately arranged in a circle. The salad had no leafy greens and was just cucumber with creamed avocado, and a sprinkling of onion and tomato. Despite the minimalism, it was delicious. The cucumber and avocado paired perfectly together and tasted very fresh. For an entree, we shared the tagliatella al tartufo nero. I am a big truffle fan so I had high expectations. I thought the sauce would contain truffles, but it was just a regular garlic cream sauce. It was thick and rich but I felt the flavor was missing. The pasta was al dente and tasted homemade. The dish was topped with fresh truffles. It was tasty but didn't offer the bold truffle experience I was hoping for. For dessert, we had the tiramisu. It was light and subtly sweet. Strong mocha flavor. The cream topping melted in your mouth. To drink, I had the Tulum Ave. It was a poor choice on my end since I don't care for the taste of Campari but for those who do, the drink would be great. The spicy salted rim and grapefruit garnish were nice touches. My friend got the At the Disko and said it was enjoyably sweet. Though the food and service were good, I feel this restaurant is a bit overpriced.

Loved trying so many unique pastas here! I am so sad I didn't get a second to fame photos because my friends jumped into the food. Haha! But clearly it was worth it. We sat outdoors and the decor was so unique! Totally recommend it!

We came on a Sunday afternoon with great weather so they had all of the door open. The design is an indoor/outdoor concept which was nice for the day that we were there, but it did mean that there were a lot of flies in the kitchen area, flying around and landing on the food. If you are with a smaller party, I would recommend sitting at the bar so you can watch the dishes being made. The servers were very attentive at first, continuously checking on us, ensuring our drinks were full, and coursing out the pasta tasting menu so that we had one dish at a time. At some point during the meal, that changed and they brought out 3 courses at once and had to ask multiple times for refills. This wasn't horrible, but it was a difference from the service we initially received. We had the pasta tasting menu so we could try a few options on the menu. We enjoyed some pastas more than others, as to be expected, but most of the pastas were pretty delicious. We also had the chicken croquettes which were probably one of our least favorite dishes. They looked to be fried from frozen (since you can see the kitchen, we watched them make them) and they were pretty mushy. Overall the experience was enjoyable and the food was pretty good. I would recommend trying this place at least once.

5 stars for the burrata! Nice drinks Nice vibe at the chefs counter. Pasta is a little salty , but great all around. Service was good.

the most EXCEPTIONAL service, food, and ambiance. They were so accommodating and the most generous people!! Can't wait to be back!

Great date night spot. Friendly staff and fun ambiance! The food was amazing and it's our new favorite Italian spot in nyc. Highly reco the pasta sampler where they give you half portions of five pastas. We loved getting to try all of the different dishes for our first time! We will definitely be back!

Came here with a group of 6 and we got some appetizers to share and a pasta each for our entree. The top dishes for me were the burrata (super fresh and light) and the salads. But all of the apps were a great way to start our dinner. All of the pastas were delicious as well, and a crowd favorite was the lobster one. The sauce was rich without the seafood flavor being too over powering, and the bits of lobster meat were tender. I loved the interior space and aesthetic as well - especially with how they had an "open kitchen" where people could watch the chefs cook right in front of you.

A Pasta Bar will forever have my pasta heart *Pasta tasting for 2: this was an amazing deal. We got to try 5 different pasta courses and the staff was extremely nice. They were able to answer all of our questions as well as giving us the details of ingredients amongst all the dishes. This was also very filling for two people and the atmosphere of the place was beautiful *my tips: reservations are available on resy and I recommend making one. You should definitely give the chef counter a try where they make the pasta right in front of you. would I go again? Yes!

The pasta was great but not great for the price. $34 average per entree. Unfortunately my group was also seated outside, which was certainly not as good of an experience as being inside seeing the pasta being made. Lastly, I felt my server was fairly pushy in getting us to buy more (we ended up getting shots that we thought he was offering us for free). All in all, it's a fun place but not worth a return.

Food and servers was great but the two hostesses at the front had a VERY standoffish attitude (no greeting, no smile, and side eying my friend and I) also it's funny that they enforce a dress code when the two hostesses did not look put together at all. one of them noticeably had no bra on which isn't an issue normally but if you are going to enforce a dress code then at least have your employees follow it too....

This place is really cute and would come here to sit at the bar next time as it seems like they actually cook the pasta in front of you! I sat at a table due to no space at the bar but it was still a good atmosphere. To be honest, the food is pricey for what it's worth and you're definitely paying for the ambiance. Staff members were nice but it was awkward when they started cleaning the table and wiping it down before we even left... that is no bueno. I highly recommend that prosciutto from Spain though!' It was muy delicioso!!!

What a great find!! delicious fresh pasta. I had a relative visiting from overseas who was craving fresh pasta. We happened to be in the area and find this place on Google Maps/Yelp. Luckily there was a table for 2 available in the heated outdoor area (inside was full). Next time I want to sit at the bar to watch the food being prepared right in front of you. Prices are comparable for NYC Italian, the portions are good and the food tasted amazing. We had the cacio e pepe and the tagliolini al ragu bianco and shared. I was tempted to order the vegan pasta (I'm not vegan or vegetarian, sometimes I'm just in the mood for veggies) but I would prefer if it was vegetarian (instead of vegan) so that the noodles would at least be made with egg. For her to have the true pasta experience we decided better to go with traditional pasta. Maybe I'll get to try the vegan next time. We didn't get any salads because those were on the pricey side, and we had more than enough food with complimentary bread and the 2 pasta dishes. (Ended up with leftovers.) I do wish they had a veggie side option or a small side salad, but they don't have a huge menu.

I loved my experience at A Pasta Bar!!! I reserved a table through Resy - it's a pretty small spot inside but the interior decor is great and the service was really good too! There are many different options to choose on the menu. As a vegetarian, I had to try the Burrata as the appetizer, and I was not disappointed. The charred pineapple along with the nuts given on the side added such complexity of flavor to the dish with all the different textures going on too - easily one of the best Burrata dishes I have had!! I think they change the menu frequently so the Burrata components may not be the same now, but I still highly recommend! For the main dishes, we ordered the Tagliatella Al Tartufo Nero and the Raviolo Ripieno. I LOVED the Tagliatella so much - the creamy fondue with the abundance of truffles created such an elegant dish. The plating was also done wonderfully!! The Raviolo Ripieno was basically one big ravioli with a runny egg yolk inside as well as the filling, and it was pretty good too. Lastly, the Tiramisu was very tasty and plated so nicely too. A Pasta Bar was so decadent and delicious, will definitely want to make another trip here!!

Best cacio e pepe I've had in my life. I literally had this months ago and went multiple times after. The only reason I haven't been recently is because I moved out of the city. Yet here I am, still thinking about this pasta. That's the hold it has on me. Pathetic, I know. But it hits that hard.

Loved this spot, the music was loud and vibes were very high! We sat at the chefs counter and loved getting to watch them curate the meals. We chose the pasta tasting which was 5 smaller portions of their most popular pasta and wow it was amazing. All of the pastas were incredible. The arrabbiata had a great little spice & the pumpkin was so delish. I thought the noodles could have been a little more al dente but just a touch. It wasn't incredibly noticeable. I truly loved this spot and the burrata was sooooo good. Will be back!

all i have to say, is WOW. absolutely incredible experience. went on a wednesday night at 8pm and was very busy. if possible, get a reservation for this place! the ambiance is super loud.. i mean they have a sign that says "blast this f****** music", so we expected it to be loud! they brought out this delicious crusty bread with great quality olive oil when we ordered. we started with the burrata appetizer that had basil infused oil, and we got the option to add tomato jam that was sweet yet savory as well as pistachios. unreal! the flavor was incredible and i HATE basil! we then opted in for the pasta tasting menu for 2. i have to say there are NO regrets there. we had options to switch out some of the plates but we let the waitress do her thing by placing the suggested order. we got the following options for $140 for 2 people: 1. Tonnarelli Cacio e Pepe Pecorino Cheese Fondue & Black Pepper: definitely a star when your opening your palette up to get ready to eat a bunch of pasta. Very peppery and was so saucy and creamy that i took my extra bread and basically cleaned the bowl. 2. Tagliatella Al Tartufo Nero Parmesan Cheese Fondue & Shaved Black Truffle: i'm OBSESSED with black summer truffles and this place does the slicing perfectly. truffle is overwelming to some people, but even my brother who is NOT a fan.. absolutely LOVED IT! my only critique is that i wish they added even more. excellent and my favorite one by far. 3. Spaghetti Alle Vongole Manila Clams, Calabrian Chili, Aromatic Breadcrumbs: i never eat clam sauce and my dad apparently makes it very well. THIS place turned me into a clam sauce pasta chick. excellent flavor, just wish the clams weren't so so tiny. other than that, you can tell it's very fresh and not fishy smelling at all. 4. Rigatoni All'Arrabbiata Fresh Tomato Sauce, Calabrian Chilli, Cherry Tomatoes & Basil: a classic. nothing bad to say about it but if you're looking for traditional tomato sauce that's the perfect sweet and salty, this is a great dish. the chili is not overwhelming either. 5. Agnolotti Di Zucca Mantovani Pumpkin Stuffed Agnolotti, Amaretto, Pear Puree, Toasted Pine Nuts, Parmesan & Sage: this was a confusing one. we couldn't decide if we loved it or not? i think the amaretto is what threw me off since the pine nuts already have such a sweet flavor. the texture of the pumpkin was a bit too mush for me but still had great flavor. the sage and pear puree matched perfectly! We did not opt in for dessert. The pasta is VERY al dente, so if you want it cooked more, you may have to ask. This is fresh pasta and the density will fill you up. If you do get dessert, the tiramisu looked delicious at other tables. Service overall great but the food took a little long. Understandable as they were busy and everything is fresh and cooked to order! 5/5 recommend. will definitely bring a group for girls night or couples here for date night!!

Came here after seeing an IG story about a place for an omakase like pasta tasting and A Pasta Bar did not disappoint at all! The pasta tasting is good for two and allows you to share a handful of plates from their menu. Every dish was absolutely amazing, and while it's a bit pricey, I'd say it's worth trying for anyone coming here for the first time! No negatives to report and will definitely be coming back here for more! Also, just a tip: sit at the bar for the best experience of the pasta tasting

This quickly became my favorite spot for pasta in the city, and I loved it so much I came twice in 1 trip. The ambiance inside the restaurant is fantastic, creating a cozy and intimate setting for conversation. I loved that you can see the chefs preparing the food fresh in the center of the restaurant, adding to the overall dining experience. The menu is simple and well curated, offering only the best options without overwhelming the customer. The presentation of the dishes is beautiful and adds to the overall dining experience. The service is top notch, with quick attention to detail and a warm and welcoming demeanor. It's no surprise that this spot is always fully booked, so I highly recommend reserving a table in advance. One thing to note is there patio seating with heat is not adjustable, and can be very warm, but indoor dining has no issues with the heat.

The restaurant was really cool and has pleasant atmosphere. Long table was good and well-prepared. Perfect for family gathering or business meeting. Amazing interior setting and it has good lighting. The outside was so cool too and perfect for dates, intimate vibes. The pastas were really good and so delicious. The Cotoletta Milanese were really amazing. The meat has nice quality and lots of tomatose. The sauce was so tasty. Love their cocktails. Perfect in every food.

A Pasta Bar I've been wanting to come here for a while to see if it was worth the hype, and it definitely was The Tagliatella Al Tartufo Nero is one of the best truffle pastas I've had, a must get at your next visit. This sauce was perfection, and the presentation of the pasta was unique. The Mezzi Rigatoni Al Ragu was a traditional bolognese sauce and was dull of flavor and delicious.

It was a gloomy Sunday afternoon in Manhattan, we are walking on the streets sipping coffee realising it's time for lunch and we hit the Subway N train downtown towards Hudson square to find a spot somewhere. Upon walking through the streets, it starts pouring down and we decide to just walk into A Pasta Bar. We saw the menu and it looked appetising. We decide to eat there and boy oh boy were we satisfied. We ordered cocktails for the start which were great (4/5) The pastas - Rigatoni Rosa and Gnocci Pesto and Cacio E Pepe were just right. Perfect creaminess, perfectly cooked and very balanced in taste. Kudos to the chef! For the dessert we ordered Fragole, which blew my mind away. As a home chef I love eating new recipes and this one was the first I ever tried and it just hit the spot. The whole vibe of the place is chic, happy to go...and with the rain pouring down on Manhattan, on a Sunday afternoon, this was one of the lunches I'd never forget! 5/5 Thank you A Pasta Bar for an amazing meal and experience
