A Pasta Bar

“Beautiful restaurant, table for 1.. didn’t book but there was no wait time (I went for lunch at around 2pm on a Friday) seated at the bar which allows you to watch drinks and food be made! Had the bread side dish and the Cacio e pepe pasta but didn’t add the truffle.. it was delicious!! Water and soda totalled to about $17 then food on top… it’s on the pricier side for me, but the experience and food was definitely worth it! Staff were very friendly and attentive, will be back on my next visit to nyc!”

“Unfortunately we don’t leave in nyc otherwise it would become one of our favorites restaurants to go other, but anyway it was an amazing experience. You have everything amazing food, service and location. We loved the concept of pasta “bar” so seeing everything in real time. But the best past is tasting what they offer. 10/10 under all aspects, strongly recommend!!”

“After a friend chose this spot for our regular dinner gatherings, most of us were skeptical, but we were all pleasantly surprised by how delicious the food is at A Pasta Bar. We all started with some mocktails - two of us went with the cucumber drink and the other two went with peach. We all confirmed they were both very good. All four of us went with the 3 course seasonal menu and shared the following apps: polpette, burratta, steak tartare and seasonal mushrooms. Standout was the mushrooms - these were phenomenal. We ordered the following pastas: cacio e pepe, vongole, norma and bolognese. All four were delicious, but the standouts were the vongole and cacio e pepe. Desserts were also delicious. The right level of sweetness for all three - tiramisu, pistachio gelato and budino with hazelnuts. All in all, not a bad bite. A range of good to phenomenal. The staff were just attentive enough and gracious. Sitting at the counter is probably fun - we were a group so had a high top table (a little chilly being right by the door). A little loud, but not too bad.”

“I love great Italian food and I especially love great pasta. Living in the West Village of Manhattan affords the opportunity to have some of the best pasta in the country - I Sodi, Via Carota, L’Artusi, Barbuto … - the bar is very high. I ventured a little outside the neighborhood to try A Pasta Bar this evening and wow, I was not disappointed. The meal was outstanding. I was by myself, so I kept it simple - Panne Della Casa to start. Loved it - particularly the ricotta and olive oil dip. The focaccia was super fresh, salty, and flavorful. The pasta - the pasta was incredible. 10/10. I absolutely loved this dish. The Maltagliati with sausage and pumpkin. I love a great bolognese, which is on the menu, and this was similar but unique. The pasta was super fresh and the sauce was rich, meaty and flavorful I finished with a hazelnut gelato and walked home with a spring in my step. Highly recommend.”

“What I also loved was the atmosphere and the people there. A couple sitting next to me told me they visit this place every single time they come to New York it’s basically their tradition at this point, and they absolutely love it. We ended up chatting for a while, which made the whole experience feel even warmer and more memorable ✨ As for the food, it was tasty and definitely something different from the usual. My pasta took quite a while though around 25 minutes. Before ordering my cocktail, I asked how sweet it was because I don’t like drinks that are too alcohol-heavy. They recommended one to me, and I ordered it, but honestly the alcohol flavor completely overpowered everything else. It was much stronger than I expected. Still, I’d probably come back a second time just to try something different. Everything looked incredibly aesthetic, the presentation was beautiful, and watching the dishes being prepared right in front of you made the whole experience feel very “wow.””
