Pasta And... continues to be one of my favorite special-occasion restaurants in South Florida. The ambiance is elegant yet comfortable, and the service is consistently outstanding. I've been here several times over the years, but this was my dad's first visit, and it did not disappoint. We started with the bison tartare, scallops with sweet potato purée, and the meat and cheese board. Every appetizer was beautifully presented and packed with flavor. The scallops were perfectly cooked, and the charcuterie selection was excellent. For entrées, we shared the wild boar ragù, pumpkin ravioli with sausage, and the ossobuco. Each dish showcased the restaurant's attention to detail and commitment to quality ingredients. The wild boar ragù was rich and comforting, the pumpkin ravioli struck a great balance of sweet and savory, and the osso buco was tender and flavorful. Our waiter was fantastic, offering thoughtful wine pairing suggestions that complemented the meal perfectly. I make a point to come back at least once a year, and every visit reminds me why. Consistently phenomenal food, service, and atmosphere. Highly recommended. read more

Location is out-of-the-way but worth the drive. Pasta is made fresh daily, and the restaurant has a definite northern Italian cuisine and ambience. Service is impeccable and well worth the trip. Price is right. The restaurant, I understand, has been at this location since 1980. We will definitely frequent this restaurant more often. read more

An amazing restaurant. We sat as soon as you walk in next to a bunch of wine crates that made our table semi secluded. The food is fresh and absolutely amazing. They have unique meat sauces including venison, rabbit, even elk. I really appreciate the variety. The ravioli was the best we've had and that is why we will be going back. The waiter was very nice. I do wish when we had sat down they explained some of the wine lists because it is daunting. There are some on the main menu but then also an additional full menu of bottles. Parking is easy, free lot right outside, and bathrooms are nice. It's crazy that this is in a strip mall next to a 7-11 and whatnot because it is just magnificent. read more

For our 9th anniversary we picked Pasta And based on recommendations from two friends. Despite a drive of one hour we couldn't pass on it and I'm glad we didn't. From the moment we stepped in the services was friendly and polite, the dimmed lighting gave a romantic atmosphere and the recommendation from our server was on point. This restaurant have the most extensive Italia wine list I have ever seen. The bread, soup, Polenta, Pork Ossobuco and Ravioli di Porcini were sensational!!! We will be coming back when another special occasion arrises... read more

Still an amazing place to get an upscale Italian meal. Wife and I had old fashions to start and were one of the best We've had. We shared a gnocchi Romano lardo and a caprese di burrata which started the food portion out in a grand way. We then had the Ragu bolognese and the Sugo di Coniglii/ rabbit stew. The rabbit stew reminded me of the meals I had as a kid at my grandparents house. No dessert. Too full. Service by Nicola was outstanding. Never felt rushed and information he provided was great. An experience not to be missed read more

From the moment you enter the door, you are met with a warm and welcoming greeting from the staff. The menu has options that are truly from the old country and expand even the most experienced palate. Don't miss the espresso martini. The best in town. Followed by the entrees that offer so many flavors you struggle to identify them all. Definitely a place that will be added to my roster. read more

I came here with family and friends for a birthday dinner and I truly had a good time. It's very small and very intimate. I actually love the vibe here it was very nice and the staff were super informative and helpful with navigating the menu.

The drinks were super yummy and festive and they have a selection of many different wines you can choose from as well. I look forward to coming back this is a great spot to go to for a date night or with friends for a dinner.

We had heard good things about pasta And... for years. Well, tonight was our first experience at this little gem. I was surprised that the restaurant was so small. Our waiter told us there was another room, accessed from another storefront entry in the nondescript strip of stores. Upon entering the small room we were greeted by our waiter, who escorted us to an elegantly set table, with a simple centerpiece on our table for four, of one beautiful fuscia rose. The place settings were simple, modern and elegant as well. Every glass was a different shape. I love their attention to details. All of this made out Thursday dinner with long term friends seem extra special. Then the food was served. Everything we tried was wonderful! Our friends had the Caprese di Burrata and Pasta e Fagioli Genovese for their appetizers. She choose the appetizer, Salsiccia con Peperoni, (Homemade Sausage served in a red and yellow pepper sauce) as her main. My husband and I shared the Caprese di Burrata. He also had the Bucatini con Polpo, Pomodorini e Timo, (Butter & thyme sauce, with cherry tomatoes and Octopus) loved every bite. I tasted the octopus . It was very tender, cooked to perfection. I ordered one of tonight's specials, homemade duck ravioli, with a marvelous orange/shredded duck sauce, reminiscent of Duck a'l'Orange...only, dare I say...better! Hope to be back soon! read more

This is what I call this restaurant--a hidden gem. Don't go looking for Parmesan dish or Marsala dish. You won't find these on their menu. If you're adventurous looking for Italian completely different you want to go here. The service (thank you Sam) was impeccable and you won't expect how this place is decorated- beautiful for a small family owned restaurant. Thank you to Sam and the owners for a great anniversary experience read more

First time customers last night, and we will return!! Everything was delicious and the service was exceptional. What a great find!

I'm not sure why it's taken me so long to write a review, but I recently talked my partner in to taking me to Pasta & and we had a lovely experience. The food was delicious. I had the manicotti, he had a meat pasta. I also had the most delicious drink that tasted like raspberry cotton candy that had a bubble you could pop. This was my first time sitting inside, and the interior was much larger and more formal thank imagine. This is definitely a date night worthy place. Food was deciduous, literally no notes! read more

Pasta And quite literally blew me away. The quality of service and flavor of the food went above and beyond my expectations. They specialize in Northern Italian cuisine, which I found nice and light, a pleasant change of pace from most Italian restaurants around. Portion sizes are very reasonable as are prices, and everything was delicious. We started with the burrata and smoked salmon appetizer, which was so fresh. I also really enjoyed the olive loaf bread they brought to the table. For the entrees, I knew I had to try the speciality game meats as well as their fresh, house-made pasta, so we got both the boar and rabbit ravioli. They were delicious! The sauce on both was simple and light, allowing the flavors of the meat to really shine. The rabbit ravioli was a little sweet which paired well with the fresh rosemary, and the boar was savory with great thyme flavor. I tried a sip of the cosmo ordered to my table, and found it very well-balanced. I also loved the cappuccino they made, and thought their tiramisu was the perfect way to end things. What really blew me away though was the service. They were SO attentive. I didn't even get the chance to pour water into my own glass or pick up accidental crumbs from our table - their staff were right there every single time we needed something, before we even had to ask. They were so friendly too, even when busy, and it seemed like they had a lot of regulars. Tucked away in an unassuming strip mall, this classy little place really feels like a hidden gem. read more

Been there twice in the past six weeks. Don't let the fact that it's in a crappy strip mall with a Papa John's dissuade you. This is a family owned Italian restaurant where Chef Luigi bring authentic Italian cuisine from the Piedmonte region. Mouthwatering bison tartare; elk linguine; wild boar and polenta; rabbit; pork shoulder (which was sublime). An incredible wine collection of wines that you will never find anywhere. Just extra extraordinary and worth the drive! The service was exceptional. We ordered a lot. We ate a lot and we drank a lot so the bill was pretty hefty but so worth it! read more

Truly a wonderful experience. Staff friendly, observant and knowledgeable. A wonderful full variety of wines and northern Italian style cuisine. And you will leave happy with their menu. But by all means make a reservation soon, they are known for their greatness. 5stars for sure. read more

We have been to Pasta And.... a few times. They have since expanded and have more seating which is great.the food continues to be top notch but the service could have been better. It took a while for the server to take our order, the food took extra long to get to us. They make everything fresh there but it took super long even for fresh. Like our reservation was at 5:30pm and we didn't leave until 9pm long. The check also took forever and we were with an older couple who just couldn't sit any longer and ended up going outside to wait while we paid the bill. We had the branzino, lobster ravioli with calamari and crab topper, lamb shank and pasta shells bolognese. Everything was fresh and delicious. I asked for a little Parmesan on the side and they looked at me sideways bc cheese doesn't go with seafood. I get it but it wasn't appreciated. Additionally, the waiters kept only speaking with the men at the table and asking them what we wanted etc. The ladies were paying so this was also not appreciated. I'm as traditional as the next person but I don't appreciate the premise that a man has to speak for me or answer questions for me when I'm sitting right there. We put it to the test bc I called our server 2x for water and was ignored but eh minor my husband spoke, they came instantly. What I did love is that the chef came by and asked about our meal and was extremely friendly to the entire table. We would go back because the food was so amazing but we would definitely make sure that we had a different waiter. read more

A wonderful hidden gem located in a tiny plaza in Margate. You truly are transported to Italy as soon as you walk in. Surrounded by hundreds of wine glasses, white linen and super comfy chairs. The service was phenomenal, quick, clean and efficient. The bring bread right away and they we started with the sausage and Italian soup, both 10/10. I choose the handmade ravioli and my husband got the wild boar pasta. We ended the night with an espresso and a hazelnut chocolate cake. We are already planned our next visit. A true hidden gem, you must try it!! read more

Overall great experience for my birthday. It was elegant and the perfect type of intimate date night spot for just my husband and I. It's located right next to a smoke shop, it definitely does not have the best curb side appeal. But when you walk in you feel like you are transported to a winery with the decor and somewhat of a speakeasy on the other side. We were greeted immediately and for a Wednesday they were pretty busy. It took about 15 minutes for our waiter to come over and take our drink orders. Food came out pretty quickly. My husband ordered the special: beef shank over polenta and I ordered the white truffle tagliatelle (which is a rarity and their special- whole last page of the menu was dedicated to this! The smell of the truffle was to DIE FOR). Both had great portions sizes and we left there feeling full but not overwhelmed. The bread starter was a nice touch but it was thick so don't fill up on that too much. Also for appetizer my husband had the burrata and I had the pasta fagioli. I had to get pasta when I heard they were all made in house, homemade! You can absolutely taste the difference. I will recommend pasta and to any one looking for an authentic Italian experience. read more

I want to take back any other 5 star review I've ever given- Pasta And was incredible through and through. Definitely ask to be sat with Kush- he is super attentive, so fun, and has the best recommendations on food and beverage. We started with bison tartare on top of stracciatella topped with sub dried tomatoes with oil. The tartare was incredible and had a beautiful bite of garlic to balance out all the creamy goodness. I ordered the special of risotto with scallops are it was the finishing of mascarpone cheese and lemon sauce took this over the top. My husband had the elk parpadelle which wasn't really anything but a meat sauce- not tomatoe based, not cream based- just beautifully seasoned meat on top of fresh pasta. You could literally drive right past this gem and never think twice but IT IS WORTH THE STOP. I was SHOCKED at the gem we found at Pasta And thanks to some friends recommending this place. Seriously, tucked next to a Cricket wireless and 7/11, you would NEVER think such high quality would exists in this plaza. STOP-EAT-ENJOY!!!! read more

We went there last weekend for the first time. We didn't have a reservation, but they had a table outside. It was like I was back in Italy. The food was absolutely awesome. My wife had one complaint about how lasagna, she says she wanted more! read more

This place screams fine dining!! The ambiance, the service, the authenticity of this resteraunt really was immaculate! They start you off with a variety of fresh breads with oil. Our waiter was SUPER helpful because the menu was intimating as i do not eat authentic italian food often. We ordered an appetizer - Polenta al Ragu' di Salsiccia e Funghi. It was incredible 10/10 recommend!! Entrees we ordered were the Ravioli di Pera e Taleggio al Cacio e Pepe $33Pear and Taleggio cheese Ravioli - Pecorino Romano & Black Pepper Sauce and Ravioli di Cinghiale al Burro e Timo $32 Wild boar Ravioli - Butter and Thyme sauce. Both were amazing 10/10 the flavor and freshness of these dishes were like nothing ive ever had before! The wine we had was a red wine called nobile di montepulciano; expensive but well worth it to have a nice wine with your meal! All in all, this place was amazing. Reservations are highly recommend! read more

Immaculate service! The waitstaff was amazing. Continuous check ups, great recommendations by our server and the chef came out to say hello. I was a bit tipped off at the beginning of our dining experience when we walked in. I was wearing a jacket since it was chilly out for me since I was 9 months pregnant and didn't really show, they said the only seats available are outside. I saw a few tables inside but I didn't want to make a scene since we brought a friend along. My boyfriend and friend order a bottle of red wine. They poured them a small tasting first to make sure it's something they enjoyed. I loved the sausage risotto! The server did warn me that it's more on the salter side. It was amazing. I'd like to try the wild mushroom next time. The truffle ravioli was OUT OF THIS WORLD!! read more

Through a turn of events, my husband and I ended up here the night after our wedding. It was the BEST experience. We were conflicted on our food choices, and the waiter gave us recommendations to have a full experience from one region of Italy. Our appetizer and both of our entrees were from that region. We ordered cocktails instead of wine (which were delicious), but the waiter had a pairing for both of our dishes if we wanted it. And incredible experience from start to finish! The food was delicious. read more

Came here for my boyfriend's birthday and it was absolutely amazing. It's truly a hole in the wall - the shopping center where it's located has nothing to do with the inside. It's small, but so charming, and truly feels like you're in a luxurious restaurant. The food, ambiance, and service were absolutely spectacular. They also have a bar area that you can just go and sit down and have drinks, so definitely a cute place to go to even if it's not any special occasion. I couldn't recommend enough! read more

Pasta And - Italian Near Me - Margate, Florida

Food was great but we were disappointed because they could not accommodate my wife's dining preferences. She contacted the restaurant ahead of time and they assured her they could accommodate a vegetarian. They offered many spectacular pasta dishes but the only sauce they would offer was a cream sauce. Probably great but not my wife's preference. The waiter tried to accommodate by offering to go to the local 7-11 and get her some chips. Guess he was being funny but it's Not the kind of service I am used to from fine restaurants. She ended up with salad and soup, which were great but she could have gone to Panera for a quarter of the cost. My bad in not asking to speak to the manager or chef, but the waiter had us convinced that the chef was not flexible nor accommodating. Other dishes on the menu were great, but we won't be back. read more

Everything was executed perfectly! Food was delicious. Wine selection was extensive, prices were extremely fair .

Surprisingly elegant inside considering the location is a strip mall food was excellent. The service was a little erratic, meaning different people kept asking us the same stuff we already did with another waiter, but that wasn't a problem. The food was excellent. The dessert was great and the 20 minute drive was well worth it. I definitely will visit it again. read more

Fantastic place to eat!!! One of the best Italian restaurants you will find and yes it's in Margate, Fl. Seating inside and out but very small so reservations will help.
