Wow this was my favorite restaurant in Prague! The pastas were absolutely delicious!!! Make sure to make a reservation!! You can also do walk ins, but will have to wait in line. You physically need to stand in line to wait since they do not take your name time to call you back later. We walked in and the wait was totally worth it. Wish I could have tried more pastas! We ordered Spaghetti alla carbonara and Tagliatelle with Bolognese ragout. The Carbonara was phenomenal! Definitely one of the best I have had! It was perfectly creamy and the noodles texture was made very well! The Tagliatelle noodles were so good! Bolognese sauce was really good, but wish it was a bit saucer. Beautiful restaurant and the staff were super friendly! The host was amazing!! He made sure to give us updates and talk to us while we wait and time went by fast! I would highly recommend this place!

i waited around 15 minutes for a table for 1 without a reservation and it was worth it! the texture of the pasta was absolutely perfect. it's clearly fresh as they say, and every mouthful was very satisfying. the only thing was that i would've like the sauce to have a bit more flavor to it, it did need some salt and pepper. regardless, i finished it all. would come back again if i come back to prague!

Heard about this place on TikTok and it did not disappoint! We couldn't get a reservation but we only waited about 30 minutes as a walk-in. They don't have any sort of text-to-wait system, so we all just kindof waited in a line in the foyer until it was our turn (the line kept moving!) We had the Burrata cheese with pepper panzanella and the grilled prawns with chilli and garlic aioli for starters, then two pasta dishes-- the Tagliatelle with black truffle and butter (lighter one) and the Spaghetti alla chitarra amatriciana with tomatoes, guanciale, chilli and pecorino cheese. Then for dessert I had the Vanilla ice cream with pistachio nuts and milk chocolate (this was everything I wanted and MORE). If you're in Prague, I'm sure you're not thinking to yourself "OH YES, I NEED PASTA," but everything we ate was really good. Probably our best meal in Prague that we had and super affordable!

Long lines but awesome food! Worth to stay 30-40 min in a waiting line. Friendly staff! Very clean

Carbonara. Waited for so long for this to come.

Waiter was rude. He literally raised his voice because my daughter told him her drink order first. He expected her to order the main course first maybe? He kind of rolled his eyes and uttered "for your main course"?! I did not know there was a set sequence to placing our order. For some reason, we noticed the following: 1) our order took a long time to come. Our neighboring tables got their orders fast. 2) we were not offered water. All the other tables had water. So we asked for water after we ate dessert only to find out we had to pay for it. At least we got water. Food: My daughter's pasta carbonara was ok. She ate my pesto (also ok but relatively better) and we "took" her pasta back to the hotel. It's supposedly a pasta place. Tiramisu was a bit off. Ambiance: the person who received us was very kind and friendly. Thank for that part. Made the first part of our experience wonderful. On our way out, I saw him helping guests with their coats. Beautiful soul!

Best pasta in town. Everything was authentic and fresh. Beautiful restaurant located in the cellar of the building but still very spacious. The place is very popular, you will probably need a reservation. We shared the bruschetta which was phenomenal and the ricotta tortellino, delicious. Highly recommend

Pasta Fresca is a great place to go if you're looking for good Italian food and fresh pasta in Prague. There's a large downstairs seating area that you wouldn't expect when you walk in. You walk through the kitchen prep area to get to the dining area, and it looks so cool! I really love the ambiance of the restaurant. From the start, our service wasn't great though. It took a while after being seated to even get menus. Our server eventually took our order, and we didn't see her the rest of the evening unless we gestured to her. Someone else brought out our food, and we gestured to her when we wanted to order dessert and after dinner drinks. Finally, a completely different server noticed we were finished and sitting unattended to, so he checked in on us then brought our check. The food was delicious. I love homemade pasta, and the cannelloni was amazing! I didn't love the panna cotta or the limoncello spritz though. I'd definitely recommend a visit, but suggest getting dessert elsewhere.

The best food on our trip. Quality ingredients and dishes. The fresh bread was so delicious too. The service was amazing and friendly. Hidden gem!

Smoked chicken with gnocchi in a creamy sauce

Best food I had in Prague!! It was recommended by a colleague that stumbled upon it during our work trip. In 2 days, he came to this establishment THREE times. Not pictured are our starters which included prosciutto with cantaloupe and bruschetta toast. The prosciutto melted in your mouth and the cantaloupe was the perfect sweetness. The grape tomatoes in the bruschetta was so fresh with the most flavorful herby filled olive oil. The pastas were the absolute best dishes with the perfect amount to eat. As an American, we are so used to big dishes. These are definitely smaller than our norm, but truthfully all we needed! It was filling and quite affordable. I'm pretty sure the pasta was all house made as well! We made a comment to the host that it was the best pasta we ever had and he mentioned that the sous chef isn't even Italian (he's Czech!). This place was packed. We didn't have a reservation, but the host was able to seat us pretty quickly given gaps in the reservation system. He was very welcoming and worked his magic to accommodate us. While he did seat us, the space itself was small and right at the entrance of the restaurant. If you're claustrophobic, this might not be the spot for you. Though, if you book a reservation, you could be seated in a more comfortable area unlike us. Service was rather slow, but that might be my judgement as an American. It was very slow, but did allow for my food to digest between dishes. The quality and flavor of the food makes up for the tight space and slow service. Definitely worth the trip if you are looking for some pasta while in Prague. I could eat there everyday!

Delish, easy, great service, and great ambience. A hidden gem that I would not have found normally- thanks to the honest tour guides YouTube I was able to enjoy a wonderful pasta lunch in the city center! The food was amazing and the service was so speedy! The appetizers came out almost instantly after we ordered! The fresh focaccia bread had a light seasoning that made me want to eat more just to appreciate the baked good. The carpaccio was a bit thicker than I'm used to but nonetheless still fresh and great. The pasta - it really was the star of the show fresh and light but still rich and tasty! I also had a nice lemonade house made not sweet and a ginger tea and tiramisu- I can't wait to return to this little gem!

Grilled Rump Steak with Green Pepper Sauce, Green Pea Pods and Roasted Potatoes

This restaurant has a small lunch menu that seems to change every day. The two main dishes on the menu day we went there were Spaghetti with Sea Bass, Tomatoes, Garlic and White Wine, and Grilled Rump Steak with Green Pepper Sauce, Green Pea Pods and Roasted Potatoes. Both were very tasty and priced reasonably. We would have gone back to the restaurant for dinner the next day if we had not learnt that the same owner had another restaurant that got a Michelin Bib Gourmand rating.

The review is a little late. Nonetheless this place was pretty awesome! We got seated pretty quickly. The wait staff was super cool, and the food was yum yum yummy! You cannot for wrong! Great food, and a decent price too!

This was a fine little Italian restaurant. The ambiance is nice but the food was average. The bruschetta came on soggy bread which was disappointing. Also, we ordered a number of pastas to share and two of the House specials were SUPER disappointing. The pasta was extremely over cooked and the sauces had no flavor. If you end up here; get the gnocchi with broccoli and ham because that was actually a great dish. The service was friendly but slow. read more

We came to Pasta Fresca in July 2018 and it was so amazing. So fresh, delicious, and friendly staff. We have been ranting and raving about this place ever since. Today we came back to Prague so we HAD to stop by Pasta Fresca and even brought 2 friends with us. Sadly, the experience was not at all the same as before. The fresh/crispy bread was the only amazing part this time... The food was fresh pasta (still very nice) but bland. Every single plate needed lots of salt and pepper added. We had the spaghetti with beef Ragu and Parmesan tortellini (both were dry and bland), avocado bruschetta, grilled veggies, and a garlic baguette (they brought a plain baguette which was fresh and crispy but not garlic like we hoped for). Plus, the waitress was snappy and a bit rude. We speak English (obviously not the native tongue) so I expected it could be difficult to communicate at times but the waitress was easily frustrated and kept saying "No, I don't understand" then visibly upset walked away twice. It was obvious she had no patience or care. I wish they could have sent someone else to help us or warned that we should go somewhere else with English-friendly staff. The most unfortunate part is that our last experience here was polar opposite and quite wonderful. I'm hoping this was a fluke, maybe the back-up chef and waiting staff was handling the New Year's Day holiday...either way I won't tell folks traveling to Prague that this is a "must have" anymore. read more

Loved this place. Luckily we got seated about ten minutes after getting there without having a reservation. Started off with the bruschetta which was very good (the bread is too). I ordered the Tortelloni stuffed with ricotta and parmesan and it was very very good. So simple but full of flavor. Wife ordered a veggie lasagna which she thought was okay. Service was a bit lacking but didn't ruin the meal. Prices are extremely reasonable. Would definitely return. read more

Easily a top five meal of my life, if not top three. Super, super fresh pasta. I was hesitant given its close proximity to heavy tourist area, but when a local Italian native recommended it I figured we had to try it. The antipasta plate with cheese and meat was heavenly, especially the bruschetta. The tagliatelle with lamb ragu is *wonderful*. The wine selection is fabulous. They had cheesy 80s music set to EDM playing, but when I asked if it was possible to change it they did to Italian pop/classics. All in all a fantastic experience and would highly recommend! read more

The pasta is as amazing as everyone makes it sound but tourists beware! We had a horrible experience paying for our meal. The server came over to help us pay and we told him we'd pay in card. He then informed us that tip is not included (which is a common for people to say to American tourists because you don't tip in the Czech Republic but they know Americans do at home). We politely said we do not want to tip as we do at all other restaurants. He then acts like he doesn't understand and continues to ask us over and over again if we want to tip in cash or card and we continue to say no. We finally say cash so he will leave us alone and we can just leave nothing. Then we check the receipt and he had added a 10% tip so we refuse to sign because we didn't tip and he begins raising his voice and saying there is no way to undo the transaction. In an attempt to diffuse a bad situation we left even though he had taken our money. We want to make sure other tourists are aware of this trick. I have attached the receipt where he wrote in his own tip. Feel tricked and will not be going back. read more

I love this place. Lighter fare, fresh ingredients, homemade pastas and a variety of fish entrees. The food doesn't make you want to die from being overstuffed after a meal. For a starter, I ordered the roasted calamari--so tender and garlicky and just flavorful. For the main, I ordered the grilled snapper with a chickpea and tomato salad. The skin was crispy and this would be something I would make for myself if I had mad skills in the kitchen. After a few days of no working out and eating crappy food, this meal did wonders to help to get back on the straight and narrow. One thing I left on the table was the bread. Too white and fluffy for my taste; not worth partaking as it will only detract from the rest of the wonderful meal you are bound to have here. I will definitely be back. read more

Surprisingly enough, there's quite a few italian and pizza places in Prague, but this one certainly got the highest reviews from a variety of people, so we picked it.

Unfortunately, I only got photos of the mushroom & cheese ravioli and seafood risotto. Too busy feasting to photograph the lasagna, veal and seafood pasta we had. Thanks to the Yelpers who helped identify this as an option. The info is correct as of my trip.

We were greeted with a wonderful and courteous smile and were seated immediately outdoors which was fine given the beautiful weather. The service was absolutely fantastic -- You can see how thay all operated as a well maintained team. The atmosphere was cozy-warm and inviting, a perfect setting for a relaxed dinner. Since qwe were outside , we had the opportunity to see all the folks walking in and out as well as the seating accross the street. Apparently, this shop is not a secret. We ordered the Margherita pizza and a Buratta salad, and both were amazing! The pizza was perfectly baked with a deliciously fresh crust and rich tomato flavor, and the salad was crisp and full of flavor. I say this all the time about the pizza and salads in Europe. Everything is just so fresh and tasty. Clearly, they don't order food for the month and throw it in the freezer. Everything from start to finish was excellent. Just another restaaurant that we would definitely visit on a trip back to Prague. -- I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great Italian food and top-notch service in Prague!

Wow! This restaurant was a stumble upon as I walked around the area wanting to see Prague from the…read moreother side of the river and to catch the Lennon Wall. It was my second visit to Prague so I was taking my time to see more than the "must see things." As I said, I stumbled onto the restaurant because I was taking in the park where artists were painting, people were reading and I pulled out my phone to use the Merlin app to identify birds that were singing. It was totally picturesque. But I wasn't hungry. So I regretfully moved on without eating there. Imagine the elation a few days later when someone in our group booked a dinner reservation for us at the same place I was regretting having missed! With a group of a dozen of us, I think someone ordered everything on the menu. We were all thrilled. We had appetizers , cocktails and entrees -- everything we had was great! The restaurant is family-owned and we were treated to the son being a primary server for our group. Now and then dad was part of the picture too and we enjoyed the added dynamic. Pretty sure the son is on point for Americans as his English was on point. They were great hosts!

The sauce seemed to have been made from a can (1 star off) as the diced tomatoes tasted different than the whole tomatoes that were added to the dish later; the whole tomatoes tasted way better. My husband got the pinsa alla diavola, which was like a spicy pepperoni pizza. It was fine, but reminded me of a pizza at a kids' birthday party (1 star off), maybe only slightly better. I made a reservation a month in advance, but did not know I had to specifically request for tables outside on the river. When we arrived, only a few outdoor tables were taken, but was told the rest were reserved, so we were seated indoors instead. When we finished our dinner, the same few outdoor tables were occupied. I don't know why the restaurant couldn't just stagger the guests for the outdoor tables according to their reservation times.

Both nights visiting this restaurant we met other couples who were on this trip with us. This is such a comfortable restaurant, very rustic with much character. Helene and I usually do the same types of meals in Italian restaurants. Pizza, pasta or put them together and get a Lasagna. We did pizza, pasta and salads here. Food is delicious. It fresh, and the ingridiants are very rich and tasty. This is one of the reasons I like the food overseas so much... it's always very fresh and cooked to order. The staff here was wonderful. We were seated quickly and they were very attentive to take our order and serve food. They were quick but did not rush us through dinner. Overall I can not reccomend this lovely retaurant enough.

At Papaiolo, we believe in tradition. That's why we serve our authentic Neapolitan pizzas with scissors, just like in Naples!

I recently dined at Pasta Fresca and was truly impressed by their pasta dishes. The pasta was perfectly cooked-al dente with a rich, flavorful sauce. The ingredients tasted fresh, and the portion size was generous. The service was excellent-friendly and attentive without being rushed. The cozy atmosphere made the meal even more enjoyable. If you love authentic, well-prepared pasta, this place is a must-try! Highly recommended! read more

Výborné ambiente. Čerstvé těstoviny, které jsou prostě vynikající. Obsluha milá a rychlá. Ceny vyšší, ale u ambiente se s tím musí počítat. Jedna hvězda dolu za poněkud namačkané stoly, cítili jsme se poněkud stísněně a ocenili bychom více soukromí. read more
