“Now that I’ve had the Nutella Pizza from Pasta Beach, I can die content knowing I’ve experienced the premier American sweet treat. Best dessert I’ve ever had. Mezze Maniche Carbonara was also a 10/10. I will be back to try every dish on the menu, pictured for your convenience.”
“Came here during our trip to Newport, was drawn by the fresh pasta dishes. Also tried the next day they're stone oven pizza. Love the seating and decor and ambience of this place, two bars and beautiful outdoor back patio.”
“Our dining experience at Pasta Beach of Newport was absolutely exceptional from start to finish. Booking was incredibly convenient using Resy, which made planning our evening seamless. Prior to our arrival, we reached out regarding their corking policy, as we had a special bottle of wine we were hoping to enjoy. General Manager Sarah responded promptly and graciously confirmed they would be happy to accommodate us — a thoughtful touch that meant a great deal. Upon entering the restaurant, we were immediately impressed by the beautiful interior décor and warm, inviting atmosphere. Our server, Taylor, was outstanding — knowledgeable, patient, and attentive without ever being overbearing. She elevated the entire experience. From the fresh burrata appetizer to our savory pasta entrées, every dish was prepared to perfection and absolutely delicious. The quality and authenticity truly stood out. We’re heading to Boston today and will most certainly be visiting your Boston location. If it’s anything like Newport, we’re in for another fantastic evening. Highly recommend!”
“I really like this Italian restaurant. When you walk in, there is an open bar/counter to the right. You can see into the kitchen where the chefs are cooking. And it's very open airy space, so you're not confined into tiny rooms. I saw the bottle of oil on the table and then knew that there must be bread that would accompany it... Excited to try fresh bread, I asked for it and it arrived promptly. And we were not disappointed. It was warm also. The food is pretty amazing. Everyone in my family got pasta.But of different kinds. The pasta is home made, and there are a lot of choices. It was not very loud at all. But we went on a Sunday night. We thought we had a reservation for Saturday. And we arrived on Saturday night at 8 PM. And it was so hopping, so you would definitely have to have a reservation. Which makes sense because it's such a good place to eat. It may have been also noisier to eat on a Saturday night. But i'm not a hundred percent sure we are standing near the door and there were a lot of very excited people.So don't rule it out. It just depends on your preferences and you may just have to take a chance. So you need to think about that when you make a reservation, whether you'd rather skip a night. Go a different time and possibly have a better dining experience...? The sunday night atmosphere it was much more chill. Our waitress was very attentive. We could ask for modifications. We even enjoyed ourselves so much even after finishing our main dishes, we chatted amongst ourselves not realizing how much time had passed. We ended up being the last customers and then ended up closing the restaurant. They actually were waiting for us to leave and were kind enough to let us stay a little bit longer while they cleaned up. And we just made it in time, and they let us have a dessert even though the kitchen was getting ready to close. The dessert was so good. SO: make a reservation and you'll eat great food and expect that you might need some extra time. Because you'll get caught up in the the awesome dishes, the conversation, the wonderful bread and then you want to have some time for dessert. So expect a good evening. We did want to go back, but it closed for the season. So being there in the winter does have its drawbacks, but it is definitely worth going to while you're on vacation. I do not know if they are open for lunch. But if you can do that, try that as well, it is worth the hype. When we went on Saturday night and it was crowded. There were people of all ages, so it's definitely good.Even for the young ones (late teens)! Early 20s (bringing their dates)!”
“The service and atmosphere was good and everyone was nice. We got salad, confit potatoes, cacio e pepe and creme brulee. The cacio e pepe was okay. Maybw it was because we requested to get all the stuff together, so the pasta started clumping up as it cooled. Other than that, everything was pretty good!”
