Outstanding dinner from start to finish! My wife and I shared the chicken parmesan, and the portion was enormous--more than enough for two. The meatball appetizer was fantastic, and the garlic bread basket was the perfect complement. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. A special shoutout to our server, Fletcher, who was friendly, attentive, and provided exceptional service throughout the meal. He made a great dining experience even better. If you're in Key West and craving authentic Italian food with generous portions and outstanding service, New York Pasta Garden is an absolute must. We'll definitely be back! read more

We came at lunch time when no one was here and the customer service was stellar, and the food portions were very generous, do not slip on eating here when visiting key west! read more

Ducked into the NY pasta garden on a brisk day. The outdoor seating area looked lovely, but some unseasonable wind brought us inside. My French onion soup was the only one available (no soup of-the day) but it was really well done, savory and cheesy. I even dunked the table parm bread in. Our server was personable. The pasta though my friends had wasn't so great. The Marsala sauce was sweet? And the lobster ravioli had a beef sauce on top... read more

Cute little place with an old Italian restaurant vibe. The staff were extremely friendly and very attentive. The food was ok. I ordered the lobster ravioli which came with beef sauce. That threw me off a bit and the chicken Marsala was extremely sweet and it just didn't taste right. The onion soup however was prepared right and it was delicious. The bread with cheese definitely was great with a little bit of oil. read more

This is a fun, unique place. The food was 3 stars but the service from the owner brings it up to 4 stars. The portions are enormous... like entirely too much food. Everything had decent flavor, and the owner kept our wine glasses topped up for the entire meal. The outdoor dining area is lovely. read more

Olive Garden has better food and cleanliness. Lazy service, bland food and wasn't worth the price at all. The only positive was the Bruschetta. It was good but is not worth coming back for. I got the Carbonara and it was SO OILY. Couldn't eat a lot of it. My friend got the chicken fettuccine Alfredo and it was bland and tasteless- had to request Parmesan, and pesto just to make it okay to eat. For a restaurant on Duval St with a $30-40 price range... NOT worth it. PLENTY of better options. Don't even get me started on the cleanliness of the bathrooms and indoor seating... so bad. read more

Great find for a wonderful dining experience. Food is excellent and the portions are large.

100/10!!! This food was probably our favorite from our trip to Key West. The pasta with vodka sauce was out of this world. I could live on the garlic bread alone. The restaurant is tucked back in a small patio area surrounded by plants and lights. The owner was very personable and treated us well - highly recommended!! read more

This place is amazing we accidentally came across it while waiting for our room. We ordered off the happy hour menu and everything was delicious. The food, Annetta and the Chef are nothing short of perfect. We came back for dinner a couple nights later and had the best meal of our entire trip. Highly recommend. read more

Ate here on the first night of a week-long trip with a group of about 36 fellows. Terrific place! Seated outdoors, the waitstaff kept up with everything. I had a pasta/cheese/chicken dish that was delicious! Portion was quite generous...I'm a big guy and had to leave some, unfortunately...because it was so good! We all were happy our group coordinator chose this for our first dinner spot. read more

Lots of vegetarian options. We ordered pasta primavera, cheese tortellini and angel hair feta pomodoro. Absolutely loved the flavors and the bread was amazing too! Service was excellent and ambiance was very pleasant. I'd totally recommend it! read more

If we could do dinner again, we would not come back. Everything was mediocre and underwhelming. We arrived here on a Sunday night and it was dead. There was only 1 other table dining here. A very silent meal here as it was pretty quiet. We walked in and what seems to be the owner, just sat behind a counter, looked at us and didn't even acknowledge us. No greeting. Someone else came over to us and sat us at a table. He became our waiter and was our service for the remainder of the night. We used the Yelp check in for the free bruschetta. It looked tasty. It was okay. But something anyone can piece together at home. I would've not been happy if I had to pay for it. We ordered 2 pasta dishes. One was the linguini with clams on white sauce. The other was the alfredo pasta with chicken. The chicken was terrible. No seasoning whatsoever. The alfredo pasta was plain with no color. All cheese. The linguini with clam sauce was very thick. It didn't live up to our pasta expectations. We paid our bill and left. Getting up and leaving, the owner again did not greet us goodbye or bother to acknowledge us. read more

We had an enjoyable dinner here! Granted, we were about 4 martinis in from happy hour across the street at Ocean Grill & Bar, which we learned has the same owner! Gluten free pasta was very good.

Everytime we come to key west, we come here. It is somehow even better everytime! We got the Caprese salad, artichoke hearts, fettuccine Alfredo, penne Al La vodka, shrimp & scallop carino, and the caramel cheesecake. Everything was 10/10. The staff is THE BEST. They were so personable. Darius was our server and seriously so great. The restaurant is in a great location off of duval street, but tucked away in a quieter area. read more

Service is really quick but the food was not my favorite. Tasty homemade sauce but the veal was hard to cut. We had veal parm. Good portions. read more

Delicious! Came in during lunch time and enjoyed everything we got. We shared appetizers of crab cakes, artichokes, bruschetta, and Italian sausage. I highly recommend stopping by. Plus the spaghetti that our youngest son got was wonderful and he could not stop eating it. read more

We were here last evening exploring the southern most point , when I thought it might be good to check out some dining options in the area This place is nice and cozy . It's nestled inside a mini open mall ,where there is a line of other restaurants. The menu had some nice veg options listed so I booked a spot ahead anticipating a crowd later . I would recommend doing so as it saves the stress of finding a dining venue later as you tour the place . We ordered a salad , penne with vodka sauce and for the garlic knots and artichoke appetizers free . Food was ok . Nothing great . Service was good , fast . read more

What a fabulous restaurant with wonderful staff and delicious food! We just so happened to be walking by and found it tucked behind other restaurants. We are so glad we did. We were welcomed in like family and had such attentive service. One server made us a special artichoke app and it was fantastic. Would never have known it was artichokes, and the base sauce was yummy. We also had plenty (too many!) of garlic buttered knots with Parmesan. Very addicting. My fiancé had the meat lasagna and I had the penne ala vodka. I loved the creamy vodka tomato sauce and the added prosciutto made it even better. Added some red pepper flakes and it was the best. I was craving pasta and it was exactly what I wanted. Also the noodles were perfectly Al dente. My fiancé enjoyed the meat lasagna and could barely finish half as it was so filling. You can't go wrong with meat and cheese. Their sauce is very flavorful too! Honestly one of the best dinners we had while in Key West due to food, service, and being able to actually relax at a restaurant. Can't go wrong with anything on the menu! read more

Stumbled upon this Italian restaurant off of Duval Street. It was amazing. The ceasar salad was the best I've ever had. My husband had the mahi mahi piccata and I had chicken Gorgonzola. Both were some of the best pastas either of us have ever had. We were celebrating our anniversary and Fletcher treated us to a complementary dessert. He was an engaging host, and made us feel welcome. Definitely go here if you're in the area, you won't be dissapointed ! read more

Myself and 3 friends dined at New York Pasta Garden on our spring break trip to Key West in March and it was absolutely fantastic! Our server was Donna and she made our dining experience wonderful. The service was quick, the portion sizes were huge and they had lots of gluten free and vegetarian options. I would certainly recommend this place to anyone looking for good Italian food and a fun dining experience in Key West! read more

Got take fettuccine Alfredo and penne alla vodka. It came out on time, was hot all the way back to my Airbnb, and was delicious. Staff were very kind. Definitely recommend the fettuccine Alfredo. It's a lot of food and honestly could be two meals worth if you don't eat a lot when you're in the heat. read more

NY Pasta Garden was welcoming when we walked into the restaurant. They had charming outdoor dining and very good food including salads, pastas, meats and fish. The prices were very fair for the quality of the food. I highly recommend. read more

Amazing! Donna was great! Best quick service :) parking is free. Bread was brought to the table. Quiet and spacious.

This was a very bad experience for us and a rip off for new years celebration. We read some good reviews and we though to give it a try. There was a set menu but the food was absolutely terrible, the steak was probably premade and served cold, fish was not fresh and pasta was tasteless. The writer gave us a good service and he was very nice and not his fault that food was terrible but for $400 (2 adults + child) we could've had better food, much better anywhere else I think. Definitely McDonalds would've won if there was a food competition. read more

Wow. What an amazing dinner we had!! We even sat at an unfortunate table under a tree with chickens that pooped wrong place wrong time.. but it was so funny and the experience was still 5 stars from the amazing service and food!! The wine, wow! It's the size of 2 pours in one! I'll come back just for the wine! The food, wow! Most Italian all blends together for me, but some specific dishes here really stood out. 1. The Olivia is very simple olive oil sauce with artichokes, olives, sun dried tomatoes, and it was FANTASTIC! For such a lightweight simple dish, jt was packed full of flavor! My husband and I both were surprised how great it was. 2. The shrimp & scallop Carino stole the show!! One of the best pasta dishes I've ever had, in my entire life!! It's the sherry cream sauce!! I'm telling you that sauce is so unique it tastes like a bisque almost. Best creative sauce from a pasta chef ever! I wanted to soak up all the sauce with every last piece of bread. 3. Compliments to the calamari appetizer also, was very delicious! Perfectly breaded and the red tomato dipping sauce was thick and chunky. The service was equally fantastic! Fletcher is the best! So funny, attentive, helpful, and a key west OG he knows everything! We moved to key west last year and the NY Pasta garden will now become one of our regular restaurants on permanent rotation. Thanks Fletcher!! read more

This place went above and beyond for our table of ELEVEN! There is an amazing happy hour from 4-6 pm where certain meals are $10. Certain Apps are also cheaper! They also give large glasses of wine during this time for a great price, I had the moscato. Their portions are large and they do warn you of that, so don't go crazy with the apps unless you want to take it back to your room. I read more

After several good experiences at this place, tonight's dinner was a big fail. The small wine list had about 6 overpriced red wines so we asked our waiter for the house reds. He said they had Cabernet, Pinot Noir and Chianti so we ordered the Cab and Pinot. The burrata was an excellent appetizer but the "prosciutto" turned out to be plain ham. My wife ordered the mussels and they were tough, grainy and probably freezer burned. My Carbonara was pretty good but the menu says there is pancetta in it. Nope, it was the same ham that was in the burrata appetizer. Then the bill arrived and the "house" wines we ordered were billed at a higher price than the 6 "name brand" wines on the wine list. We mentioned that to our server and he basically took $2 off our bill resulting in the house wines STILL priced higher than the "name brand" wines. At this point I didn't want to make a big deal about it as there were other customers present so I just paid the bill and will no longer consider dining there. It's a shame because in years past we have always enjoyed this place. But tonight everything from the service to the food was not even close to up to par. And judging from the other reviews I doubt this place will still be here next year. read more

Food was great! Service was wonderful. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. Outside seating was perfect on a December evening in Key West. read more

The best Italian meal I've ever experienced! My Filet and fresh vegetables couldn't be better. Shrimp Scampi, Shrimp Alfredo and the Lasagna was loved by everyone at the table. The fresh garlic bread was so amazing we took some home! Oh and let's not forget the Lemon cake which is something I wouldn't normally order, but it was absolutely devoured. The service was also impeccable. Definitely five stars. read more

The bread they brought to the table was absolutely phenomenal. My girlfriend *never* eats bread, but she loved it. The portions were huge, especially considering the prices. Back home, I've eaten at places that cost just as much but serve less than half the portion. Both our dishes were delicious. Our waiter, Fletcher, was like a local guide, who shared a number of great recommendations for us to see and do while in Key West. He also had some fascinating details about the history and ecology of the Keys to share, which I loved. The restaurant itself is quiet and relaxing. We got the feeling that we were at a dinner party in a very fancy person's home, with quiet music playing. The next time I'm lucky enough to be in Key West, I'm coming back to New York Pasta Garden. read more

By far the best meal we've had in Key West! The food was phenomenal and the service was just as amazing. I got the penne a la vodka which was just so delicious and my husband got the lobster ravioli which was truly made to perfection. We had several appetizers as well, including bread, calamari, and coconut shrimp. The owner was so kind, pleasant, and took great care of us. He is the BEST story teller! It blows my mind that people have rated this place any lower than 5 stars because we were just so thrilled with our meal here!! It is a very low key, delicious place to eat close to all of the shopping on Duvall. I highly suggest eating here during your stay! You won't be disappointed. read more
