Soho, you've been holding out on me. ​I swung by A Pasta Bar (330 W Broadway) yesterday and let's just say, my standards for a weeknight dinner have been officially ruined. ​I was rolling solo, so I didn't want to get too wild, but then I saw Radiatori Al Tartufo Nero on the menu. Translation: Parmesan cheese fondue and enough shaved summer black truffle to make a grown man emotional. ​The pasta was fresh, the sauce was richer than my wildest dreams, and the whole thing was a straight 10/10. I'm not saying I'd marry a bowl of pasta, but we're definitely dating now. ​The Play-by-Play: ​Main Event: Radiatori Al Tartufo Nero. If you like truffles, this is your Roman Empire. ​The Closer: Finished with an authentic Cannoli Siciliani. No notes. Perfect crunch. ​The Vibe: High-energy and cool. I grabbed a table, but looking at the counter action, that's the place to be next time. ​Service: Attentive and gracious without being overbearing. They get it. ​Seriously, if you're in NYC and you haven't hit this spot yet, what are you even doing? I'm already planning the comeback tour. read more

Walking up to the restaurant, it is absolutely beautiful with florals all over the building exterior. There's outdoor seating and indoor seating where you can watch the chefs do their cooking right in front of you. It took the hostess a little bit to notice that we were standing in front. Now to the food... we ordered carpaccio de salmone, spaghetti with clams and Maltagliati Salsiccia which has house made Iberian sausage which was recommended by our waiter. We waited for quite some time before anything came out. Not sure what took so long since our reservation was at 5:30pm and it wasn't packed house. The appetizer carpaccio came first and boy was it salty. When I say salty I mean salty af. We took 2 bites each to be exact and left the rest. It came w a side of fresh, still warm chips. I have never ordered a carpaccio where it was too salty. But doesn't it say something when customers don't finish the app and don't ask for takeout box to leave with it? The waiter actually asked us how the food was and I specifically mentioned that it's way too salty and he just brushed it off. Lol we barely touched the plate. The clam spaghetti was pretty standard. The Iberian sausage pasta was not good with the type of cheese they put on top bc it became cold and hard to break off within less than 15 mins. The pasta ended up being hard as well. Only thing good abt this spot is the aesthetics. read more

Came here for a date day with my wife and we enjoyed the vibe and pasta. First off we sat on the counter so we had front row seats to see the chefs at work. They are so methodical and cooked the pasta well! We shared the Tagliatelle al Tartufo and the pipe rigate alla norma. We enjoyed both pastas but the truffle was the star of the show. The host and server were attentive and accommodating! Great place to go for lunch and dinner! read more

A pasta bar was a nice experience. I took my mother there for her birthday. I must say everything was fresh, which was very enjoyable. The price is a little on the more expensive side so you'll be paying $30 for a plate with no meat on it, but that's the average amount for their plates. Have I had better yes but if you like restaurants for their popularity and the NYC sex and the city aesthetic look, this is the place for you. The Drinks are good. The service was good. The best part that I like about eating here was their Caesar salad delicious everything was crisp and fresh. Otherwise, I think an influencer came and made this place popular to be honest.No shade! read more

WOW...this pasta is another level! My husband took me here for lunch and I LOVED it! Such a different experience to sit by the bar and see how they make your dish. We decided to share the tagliatelle al Tartufo the pipe rigate alla norma. The tagliatelle might be pricier but it was worth every penny. The amount of truffle they serve is so generous. The pasta with eggplant was also delicious. The pasta is cooked to perfection and the quantities are big. All the chefs and servers were great, very attentive and friendly. The restaurant is clean and elegant. read more

Decided to try this spot after visiting a pop up. Food was good. I didn't like the sauce with the bread which was $7. I thought it was complimentary but it's fine. Food was good. The nonalcoholic drink was good but very small for not having alcohol in it. $14. Love the cook in front of you. Service was good but wasn't a fan of the auto 22%. I felt awkward changing it to 20%. So I didn't. Other than that the ambiance was cool read more

I have been wanting to come to this place for the longest I've spoken to friends and others about it and couldn't wait to take my fiancè here for date night. I found parking right in front and was sure to make a reservation prior so that we wouldn't have any problems jic they were busy. We sat at the bar which to me is the best seats to have. It was intimate and beautiful setting watching them make every dish. There is a small bar on the other side of the bar that is shared with the kitchen area, I couldn't wait to get started. To begin we started with an espresso martini and an unknown caller which is a spicy martini they were both good. For appetizer we ordered the truffle pizza which I must say is worth every single penny, It was an eye catching moment when they started grating the truffle on the pizza everyone around the bar couldn't help but watch the massive amount that was shredded on top. As far as taste goes it was fantastic looked as amazing by as it tasted we both enjoyed it such a good way to start off. For our second drink we ordered a White Russian and an espresso martini which we both enjoyed also I do have to say the White Russian was so delicious. Now to the entrees we chose the Mezzi Rigatoni Al Ragu bolognese which he did enjoy he said it had good flavor but also did wish he had more, the Tagliatelle All'Astice lobster pasta which I thought was good I did want to trade out the pasta however we were unable to so I stuck with it I do think the pasta was harder than my liking so I did not enjoy it as much as I would have liked. Lastly the Tonnarelli Cacio E Pepe which we both thought was mid we could have done without it, there was nothing special about this dish. For Dessert we had the Homemade Tiramisu which was his favorite he enjoyed it! This was the perfect way to end dinner. We had an amazing time here enjoying the view and one another's company I would say it was an experience. Unfortunately this was my last night with the love of my life he passed away the next day and this will forever my last memory of us together. read more

Came here a few times over the past few years, and previously loved it. This time, i don't know if they changed their chef or just had a bad day, but it was WAY off from what I remembered. We started with a salmon carpaccio, which if you're Italian, you know doesn't go with cheese but it came with a hefty amount of Parmesan (and not even the real stuff, it was pregrated, dry, tasted like Kraft). I tried to be optimistic because my cousins were there and I didn't want them to feel disappointed. They ordered the tasting menu and were satisfied with 3 out of the 5 dishes they received. I ordered a pasta alla Norma, the sauce was no where to be found, the pomodoro served tableside (it was not tableside it just came in a pot and they removed the top? Also was supposed to be with parmaggiano, again they just sprinkled Kraft on top? And it was way undercooked more than al dente. AND there were maybe 8 pieces of paccheri in the dish? Overall not happy with that one). And my brother got thee raviolo al uovo, which when I had it the first time it was a delectable dish paired with white truffles, it was rich and creamy and didn't make you feel heavy. My brothers I took one bite of it and it felt like premade Alfredo sauce not at all the same what I remembered. I will say that we did enjoy the bread and taralli with ricotta for starters. The atmosphere was also cool but I don't think I'd return again. Each time I'm slightly more disappointed. read more

If you enjoy very al dente fungi pasta and overpriced small portion food, then this place is for you. Otherwise you can find better. I get that the pasta is supposed to be slightly undercooked but it only works if it's freshly made pasta. This one is not it. Service was attentive. Our server would come by and refill our water frequently. The tiramisu was decent. The tartare is not worth it. read more

It smells really good here and it is always busy but the pasta is just okay in my opinion. Nothing spectacular. Perhaps I didn't get the right thing but the service was great. I sat outside with my pup and the ice server even brought some water out for my dog. So sweet! read more

We came here on a Friday night to celebrate a special occasion. This place is decently popular so I would recommend having a reservation rather than attempting to walk in. The restaurant is very soho trendy, with music playing and nice decor. The chefs counter allows you to fully view the kitchen working and dishing out pastas. We started with the chefs salad, which was so good! It was shaved cucumber over avocado, and while it was unconventional it was so delicious. We also ordered the cacio e Pepe and the raviolo with an egg yolk and truffle. The cacio e Pepe was a favorite for us, and it was fun watching them make it. Next time I would like to try the seafood option since it looked and smelled great. For dessert we had their pistachio gelato. It was fine but nothing special. Overall, I really enjoyed my time but likely will not be going back. The prices were high even by NYC standards and I know I can get better plates of pasta elsewhere. I'm glad I tried it for a special occasion, it was worth going once! read more

Very cute space overall. The servers were also very friendly. I had the Cacio e Pepe - unfortunately, the noodles were extremely al dente and were honestly pretty hard to chew. While I do appreciate that it's fresh, handmade pasta, I think it could be cooked longer so that I'm not eating hard pasta. I did like that the as it was thick and clung onto the noodles well. I know NYC is expensive, but I feel like this place is especially overpriced. Considering this is handmade pasta, I don't think the price matched the quality and taste of the food. read more

drinks full of ice, music too loud, super cheap wine sold at outrageous prices and not even poured from a bottle. this is one of those places that should be placed in midtown for tourists. everything is more about aesthetic and looks than actual quality of food. i can't believe i got tricked into coming here and spending so much money for something i could have easily made at home. seeing them cook the pasta in front of you was more harmful than good, bc you see them pull refrigerated pasta out of fridges and dump them into water, then dump the water into an already super watery sauce. that's why none of our pasta had any flavor. at that point its not even about the carbs sticking the sauce and noodles together-- it's just a watery mess. they even had to go so far as to put cheese on top of mine (seen right) and bake it as to hide the lack of flavor which inevitably just made most of the pasta dry and crackly and hard to eat. chewy and gross. i genuinely said out loud when i was eating it, "i feel like im eating a baked ziti from pizza hut." like why did we just spend $$$$ on this food? They bring you the food in a hot plate from the oven to distract you from the cheap food, the terribly cheap wine, and the "house made focaccia" which was by the way not house made. it was dense and cold and chewy. nothing like a real authentic focaccia. That's what set me off originally to the fact that this place is a fraud. lastly... the manager or owner or whoever on expo just walks around in an oversized blazer bringing food to tables. meanwhile, right in front of everyone behind the counter she's chewing on her nails, touching all over the basil, on her phone, just being kinda nasty. and again, if they were really about the quality experience of a good pasta restaurant all of this would have been avoided. but that's what this place is about. it's about looking a certain aesthetic to bring in influencers and tourists or whoever can't catch on to the scam they're running before it's too late. they got me this time. but they won't get me again. read more

I don't even know where to begin with how amazing this restaurant was! The place is very small and intimate. I highly recommend getting a seat at the chefs counter if you can. Watching them crank out the pasta dishes non stop adds to the appeal. We started with the homemade burrata appetizer that also had pistachios in it and I can never eat burrata any other way ever again. My friend and I did the pasta tasting and it was easily the best pasta I've had in my life. I always thought I hated cacio e pepe but turns out, I LOVED the one here! The truffle pasta was also a close second. Service was great and attentive though the pasta courses did feel a little rushed as they came out just as we were finishing up one dish. Overall great experience and worth the hype! read more

Food was solid, although a bit pricey for what it was. Made a reservation and it was canceled (got a message around 1 to confirm by 3, and my reservation was canceled by 330) but called and luckily they were able to reinstate it for a similar time, but it did throw our day for a bit of a tizzy. I'd rather have them default to collecting a deposit vs canceling in case I can't get to my phone in time. Pasta was good but pricey for what it was. They kicked us out quite abruptly and we had order d a bottle of wine. I totally get that they need their table, but would have appreciated them letting us know 15 min in advance or offer us a spot at the bar (even if it's standing room) to finish up our drink. Music was a little loud, but good, but it just made it a little harder to converse. Maybe wait until after the dinner rush is over to turn up the music and turn it into a club. Food was good but pricey. Loved the way they presented the pasta though. It was pre-rolled and drenched in sauce. Highly recommend the fettucini or cacio e Pepe. Nice experience overall. read more

Had the best burrata I've ever tasted--creamy and fresh, served with an amazing tomato sauce and crunchy pistachios that perfectly complemented it.

A must-visit spot for burrata and pasta lovers alike! read more

This has been an incredibly interesting experience, we're on the website. I personally thought that this restaurant was going to be incredibly intimate experience between the chefs, and the customers, but upon arriving I realised that there is a huge sense of energy, and liveliness through all the dynamic customers in the incredibly focused and hard-working chefs and other employees. I've ordered their truffled pasta, and I have to say it is one of the best I've had in New York City, especially considering the price where we've been given a generous portion of both truffles and pasta, which is rare.would highly recommend read more

Dined at a pasta bar last night for my birthday. The restaurant is setup up like a hibachi but for pasta so the best seats are by the chef. The service was fantastic as well as the music. People were constantly flowing in and out. If you like a spicy margarita, unknown caller was so so yummy! We had two drinks each and felt a little buzzed. Ordered the pasta tasting to be able to try their best pastas. You get to try 5 different pastas for $150 to share between 2 people and the portions are not small. I couldn't make it to the fifth pasta! My absolute favorite was the truffle pasta! They brought over a tiramisu cake with candle to celebrate which was the perfect texture. Definitely returning! read more

Seated right away at the bar where I could watch my food be prepared. I love seeing a clean, well-operated process involving food. Servers were efficient and timely. I ordered the mushrooms which were delicious. They were served over some type of cream and the flavor- girl, yes! I also ordered the Caio de Pep... (I forget how to spell it but my foodies know the dish I'm talking about). Noodles are definitely al dente but still delicious. I ate my whole dish. I was too stuffed for dessert. Get there before the dinner rush but recommend reservations if you're a party of two or more. Oh- there was a dress code sign but didn't see it enforced. read more

Quite yummy cozy restaurant. Loved the music, ambiance and a big plus you sit at the bar and not only see your drinks being made but your food as well.

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. read more

I made a reservation on Resy at the counter but when we arrived, the staff sat my parents and me at a table. I feel that the open kitchen concept is the pull of the restaurant, so I was disappointed when we were sat away from the bar. The food was ok: the chef's salad was tangy but I couldn't taste the yuzu kosho and the vongole clams were cooked well but the sauce was a little salty. I felt it was a pleasant experience, but I felt that I won't be repeating this anytime soon. read more

Overall rating: 4.2 I've had this place saved for years, then read that it was overrated so I removed it. Then! I saw a dang tiktok, and got back on the train. Given this turmoil, I obviously had high expectations. I did the Chef's table for 2 with a friend for $150. First of all, the videos 10000% overhype this place. It is TINY. The seating at the bar to watch the chefs cook cool appeal is like 7 seats. Max. They were not fond that I was late even though my friend was happy to pay and eat while she waited for me. They made it very clear it was a 90 min reservation 5-10x to her and to myself when I arrived. Like, okay. We understand the time limit when I made the reservation and when you told her the first time. Do you think we can't hear? This obviously deterred us from spending more money on alcohol. The chefs table was the way to go, but was it worth it? eh. The food was al dente posta, possibly more. But as someone who doesn't I only likes 2 out of the 5. Happy I was able to split it with someone. The staff was also.. not friendly. And the cool chef's experience, since the place is small - it's basically a kitchen because it's so small. Not worth it & I do not recommend. read more

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! read more

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! read more

Absolutely not recommended - dishonest and unacceptable practices I strongly advise against Pasta Bar. I was fully aware that canceling a reservation could go against the restaurant's policy, which is precisely why I went to the restaurant in person rather than canceling online. If I had failed to show up or canceled improperly, I would not be disputing the charge, as the policy is clearly stated. What is completely unacceptable is what happened on site. I explained the situation to the staff (my dining companion was sick) and was explicitly told that the reservation could be canceled without any charge. The cancellation was initiated by the restaurant themselves. Had I been told otherwise, I would have dined alone or found someone else to join me at the last minute. Instead, I trusted what I was told face to face -- only to be charged afterward anyway. This is not a misunderstanding; it is misleading and dishonest behavior. Saying one thing in person and doing the opposite later shows a total lack of professionalism, transparency, and respect for customers. Verbal assurances clearly mean nothing at this restaurant. Based on this experience, I do not recommend Pasta Bar at all and will certainly never return. read more

Ambiance: 9/10. This place is super cute and has a cozy vibe, perfect for a date night. Service: 10/10. The staff was amazing & really friendly. They gave us fresh plates and utensils every time we got a new dish, I noticed that they were being very attentive to the guests. Food: 6/10 We tried the Pasta Tasting Set ($150 for two), which includes 5 different pasta dishes (half portions). The Cacio E Pepe was definitely the standout, loved it! The other four however were fine, but nothing to stood out. Also found them to be a bit too salty for my liking. I was also a bit let down that the pasta sauces aren't made from scratch and are actually frozen in containers. For a place like this, I expected more. And even though it's called a "pasta bar," the whole experience feels less personal. The kitchen is open, but they're cooking for both the bar and the regular dining area, so it doesn't quite give you that custom, pasta-bar vibe you might expect. Definitely does not justify the $150 price-tag. To be fair, this was my first pasta bar experience and I had different expectations and this is just how they operate. read more

I was excited for the vibe-great music, lively atmosphere, and a lot of buzz. But after ordering everything at once, the experience fell apart. The dessert took 20 minutes while I saw others get theirs straight from the fridge. My water barely got refilled, and for an expensive spot, service was not up to par. Also food was very mid. Then, to top it off, while I was deciding on a tip, a staff member hit the payment button without my consent. I had to get them to redo it. No apology, just awkwardness. Overall, overpriced food that wasn't worth it, slow service, and a pushy tipping experience. Not recommended! read more
