Discover a lively Italian eatery in Chelsea Market where you can indulge in creative dishes and watch the chefs whip up culinary delights.
"If the thought of sitting through another predictable mid-range sushi omakase makes you feel bored, a visit to The Oval at La Devozione might be in order. This Chelsea Market pasta bar serves a pasta tasting menu that’s prepared inches away from where you sit. The experience—which costs between $125-$195, depending on which tasting menu you choose—is just as much entertainment as it is an exercise in consuming carbohydrates. If you don’t want to go all-in on a tasting, you can order à la carte in the more casual “A Tavola” section, or grab an order of spaghetti to go." - bryan kim, neha talreja, hannah albertine, sonal shah
"The first international outpost from Italy's 110-year-old, family-run Pastificio Di Martino, this multi-concept space nestled within the Chelsea Market houses a pasta shop along with two dining spaces, including The Oval. It is aptly named, as an oval-shaped, 30-seat counter awaits diners who will twirl their forks through a seven-course pasta tasting menu. It's all shapes, styles and sizes, and it's far from dainty, with plate after plate of pasta. Margheritine pasta is dressed with a cauliflower sauce and given a hearty dollop of caviar, while spiral twists sauced with bright red beet and anchovy are dramatically served in a wine glass and topped with goat cheese foam and almonds.As expected, the strong wine list leans Italian." - Michelin Inspector
"If the thought of sitting through another predictable mid-range sushi omakase makes you feel bored, a visit to The Oval at La Devozione might be in order. This Chelsea Market pasta bar serves a pasta tasting menu that’s prepared inches away from where you sit. Your options are a seven-course dinner tasting and a four-course lunch. All of the pasta is cooked perfectly, from the deceptively simple spaghetti to a vermicelli prepared cacio e pepe-style. This makes sense, given that the owners also run Pastifico di Martino, which has been making pasta since 1912." - Neha Talreja, Kenny Yang, Carina Finn Koeppicus, Carlo Mantuano
"Commedia al pomodoro: Savory and slightly sweet, this elixir made with tomato water coupled with a blood orange soda over ice is delightful and invigorating." - The MICHELIN Guide
