We found this because of yelp Our waitress is simply amazing and friendly Food - We had Appetizers with the octopus and shrimp and they were delicious. The pasta dish with shrimp and cognac sauce is to die for. The salmon dish was pretty good The reason for the lowered stars is because of the receptionist. I don't know her name but she has buzzed hair. Extremely rude. We came as a group of 5 and she refused to group us together. Her colleague later said it was fine and sat us together. We observed as the receptionist turned away a few people saying there were not enough seats . And was rude when people were asking what was downstairs. What's wrong with just a simple statement saying it's for reservations only? Another couple later came in - albeit good looking, and asked exactly the same, if there was a table downstairs. The receptionist was super friendly this time and even flirted with them. Very bipolar I would give higher stars if it wasn't for the rude receptionist read more

My wife and I had a fantastic meal here. The truffle gnocchi was absolutely amazing, one of the best things we've ever had. We also got the Bolognese manicotti which I thought was really good but a tad bland, could have used a little more parmesan or salt. Overall a great meal. read more

My wife and I had a very good Italian meal here. They have a small upstairs seating area with the main seating area down two flights of stairs (so if you are mobility impaired, this is a minor challenge.) It has a very modern, upbeat interior and a varied menu. My wife's and my pasta entrees and dessert were very good and the service was prompt, reasonably attentive and friendly. It is a very good place to get an Italian meal in Prague. read more

Best fresh pasta ever. So good we went back 2 days in a row! Everything we had was delicious. Friendly and excellent service. Great prices. read more

Not only is the food amazing, but the ambiance in this restaurant is one for the books! When walking past this restaurant it does not seem like much-but don't let the small entrance fool you. As soon as you walk in and head downstairs, you enter a cozy, beautifully decorated space. In one word I would describe this restaurant as elegant. I ordered the farfalle pasta with chicken, lime and cream sauce, which was to die for. So good in fact, that I returned to have it again while visiting Prague. The pasta was cooked perfectly al dente- definitely something that many restaurants struggle to achieve. read more

Pasta Fresca - Best meal in Prague.. The smoked mozzarella was out of this world. I highly highly recommend this resteraunt. - Italian Near Me - Prague, Puerto Rico

Best pasta anywhere! By any standards. Was in Prague for 4 days and ate here twice. Nice wine choices and attentive staff. Treat yourself!!!

After a week of not so great meals in Amsterdam and Prague, we were very lucky to stumble upon Pasta Fresca. The pasta was fresh and cooked to a perfect al dente. The flavors were delicious. The service was excellent. The atmosphere was hip and cool. Our best meal yet after 9 days of traveling Europe. In fact, I would rank it in my top five Italian restaurants in total. Location is right in center of town and so convenient. Make reservations. Best dish was meat cannelloni ! read more

This was a fantastic spot that my wife and I cabe upon while in Prague. We had lunch, but dinner would be equally as great. They make all their own pasta here. We had an app, two entrees and 3 total glasses of wine with 15% tip and paid only 67 US. read more

TL:DL - Great fresh pasta and great Tiramisu but some dishes may lack flavor. Entering this location it has a very authentic Italian feel: pasta chefs actively at work. bread, cheese meat station at center of seating areas and nice romantic ambiance. When we were seated the restaurant was quite busy so it was difficult to get very attentive service; I could see the manager running around and trying to help out the waitstaff. Perhaps they were understaffed but overall seems like the waitstaff were not able to completely keep up without extra wait time. Food: The calamari appetizer was different what we are used to back in US Italian places(deep fried) which was refreshing but the flavors were too light for our taste. I had the meat lasagna and the meat in the dish seemed to overpower the rest of the flavors in it. There wasn't much hint of any sauce; I wasn't sure if they used a tomato sauce or not. My husband had the tagliatelle pasta with mushrooms and cream sauce. He enjoyed it very much. Dessert: Tiramisu - The is the part of the meal I most enjoyed. One of the best I've ever had. Overall a Good but not great experience. read more

This place have the best amatriciana pasta I ever had! Super fresh ingredients and very good service. 100% recommended!

Hands down the best meal we had in Prague! As advised, we called ahead for a reservation so we could sit downstairs (as opposed to the entry hall seating Yelpers warned about!) Service was friendly and attentive. Started with a glass of sparkling wine, I had a calamari appetizer that at first threw me off because it lacked the requisite breading my American taste buds have come to expect. Once I got over that, I was very tasty and served hot, which was nice. My husband had the antipasto plate - that he loved, and one of our friends had s Cesar salad - which had anchovies that she tolerated. The pasta dishes were amazing - fettuccine with lamb ragout, mushroom risotto, black truffle gnocchi - all delicious. The showstopper, however, was the lasagna- which was as pretty as it was good. An excellent restaurant. We left full and happy - but not too full for one of those crazy churro like concoctions that they sell on the streets of Prague. read more

Amazing food! That calamari was wonderful and I would recommend the spinach pasta! The food wasn't heavy, it was just right. You have to check this place out. The staff was also very friendly. read more

First question we were asked if we had reservations and we did. The reservation was for 10 but we end up being 12. The restaurant is down under in the basement. The lady downstairs asked and checked crossed my name on her notebook when we arrived. I told her we are 12 and if it's okay to seat two more. She was pissed and we had two extra and suddenly they all looked like they didn't know what to do. I asked to just bring two more chair and we will all just squeeze in. You can tell the staff was not happy with this addition. We did all sit and and lady came back and stand in the middle and said in a loud and rude ton " you are 12 not 10" and we said yes that's right and thanks for accompanying me. Without any response she walked away. The server was good and once he got to know us and saw how much we were ordering wine he became nicer and nicer. The food was 5 star but first impression of the staff was hostile and rude. read more

Really good pasta selection. Big space downstairs. They give you some fresh bread with olive oil which is delicious! Also very convenient location, right next to Old town square. read more

Great wine selection Excellent pasta... they made me special pink cream sauce when I asked too Everything was so fresh too Atmosphere is really awesome too read more

This is one of the best Italian I have eaten in all of Prague. From outside this place looks very small and under appreciated. Once you go inside this place is quiet big goes three floors underground!! Beauty of this Italian master-piece is they make fresh pastas in front of you. I am vegetarian and was met by wonderful host Klara and Suzanne and they were kind enough to suggest menu. Staff was one of the most respectful and caring. Food was bit expensive but quality and taste was close to the world standards I have experienced. I went back next day - they could not find a table for me, it was that busy. read more

Delicious bread and salad with avocado, goat cheese, walnuts, melon and strawberries. Very light and fresh dressing was a nice touch especially after eating heavy food for a week. read more

Unlike the lasagna in the U.S., the lasagna Neapolitan here was not filled with cheese but rather with real pulled beef. The dish was amazing. My wife ordered the spaghetti with prawns and she loved it. I thought it was delicious too. For dessert, we had the tiramisu. It was fantastic. We liked this restaurant so much we went back there again on the last day of our visit. The two meals with dessert and two glasses of wine was around 800 kr which was quite reasonable. read more

We're in the middle of a 13 day European vacation having visited Budapest, Vienna and now Prague. We've had some great meals dining on local fare. Tonight we wanted Italian so I checked Yelp and found Pasta Fresca. If you're in Prague and looking for a phenomenal meal stop reading this and head immediately to this restaurant. We had the grilled octopus and a fresh fig, goat cheese bruschetta to start and a spinach tagliatelle with candies walnuts, porcini mushrooms in a light mushroom sauce for dinner. One of my top Italian meals EVER. I'm hoping other places can measure up for the rest of the trip. read more

As a New Yorker who is used to great Italian, this place is awesome. Best meal we had in Prague. Get the truffle gnocchi

Like a lot of the other reviewers have said, Fresh Pasta? Pasta Fresca! offered a much-needed respite from pounds of meat and potatos. The "traditional" Czech foods include beef goulash, hearty stews, pork knees, ham, and roasted duck. None of those dishes, while amazing, are light. After just a few days, I was craving something that had more vegetables, and not just cabbage mixed in with more meat. We found this place via the Prague app that I had downloaded before our trip. My family and I were staying just a 10 minute walk away, and we were excited to have something light on our last night in Prague. Of course, it did feel strange to get Italian food while in the Czech Republic, but we considered the fact that CR is much closer to Italy than New York is, so it was probably still a safe bet. The place has a great atmosphere--the tables are made of what looks like solid wood, giving it a sort of rustic feel. The space is open and feels very family-friendly. The upstairs is a little smaller, but the downstairs space was huge. In the middle of the dining area, there's a table with all of the cheeses set up. You can see them go over, pick up a cheese, and come over to grate it for you. And they are generous with the portions of cheese you get! I love European dairy products, so no complaints from me. The restrooms were clean, with a nice woven basket housing the trash can--you can tell a lot about a restaurant from how they keep their restrooms. We were right. So were the reviews that we had read beforehand. The service was great--our waiter was considerate and took it into stride when my dad teased him about my little sister, who thought he was cute. He also knew his wines--he recommended a delicious 2010 Chianti from Tuscany, which paired perfectly with our pasta dishes. I personally ordered the chef's chioce, served with pienello tomatos (basically cherry tomatos), crushed garlic, and a light olive-oil sauce. My mom got the spaghetti carbanara, which was a creamier, slightly spicy sauce. We wound up switching because my mom really wanted something much lighter. My dad ordered a spaghetti guitare (slightly square-cut noodles) with Italian bacon and a nice tomato sauce. My sister ordered the pesto gnocchi with mozzarella, basil and tomatos. We all loved our meals, and left feeling much lighter than we had from our meatier meals. My dad, however, would have been content eating more smoked ham. Overall, I was very happy with the meal, as well as the service. read more

This place was awesome. We stumbled upon it, when we first walked in we thought it was completely dead but when we walked downstairs it was packed. Had a great bruschetta appetizer and also a calamari one. I got the lamb shank served atop Parmesan mashed potatoes, it was phenomenal. We had a great time, definitely check it out. read more

I'm studying abroad in Barcelona and was visiting Prague for a weekend to visit my friend. This restaurant was recommended to us by so many people so we made sure to make reservations in advance. When I say this was the worst experience of my life, I MEAN THE WORST RESTAURANT EXPERIENCE EVER. I've had food come out rare, glasses dropped on me, found a cockroach in my food, and I've always been understanding because bad things happen and no restaurant is perfect but nothing comes close to how disgusting this restaurant is and how poorly the staff treated me. I had gone with a bunch of friends and in the middle of paying for our a meal a customer (a grown man) threw up all over me, my sweater, hair, pants, my shoes. My friend's shoes and hats were thrown up on and they had to throw them out and the floor of the restaurant was thrown up on everywhere. I ran to the bathroom and none of the staff came to help me or ask how I was. In fact, the staff legitimately laughed at me. My friend cleaned me off but I couldn't wear my sweater so I had to walk through the restaurant and streets of Prague with just a bra on. It was absolutely the most humiliating experience of my life. The restaurant continued to laugh as I walked out and still made my friends finish paying for the rest of their meal without apologizing or offering us anything. Then the man who threw up walked back into the restaurant and sat at the table and the restaurant continued to serve him. This was absolutely unacceptable behavior and if you go to this restaurant remember that their staff laughed at a thrown up on 20 year old girl crying in bra humiliated in public. I even put my thrown up jacket down on the floor and they had the audacity to ask me to move the jacket off the floor. I hope the food wasn't the cause of the throw up. I can't make this up. Oh and to make it better.. I called back today and discussed the situation with the manager (also the one who laughed at me). He told me they're "not responsible for their costumers." But, after I discussed the situation further he said we can go back to the restaurant and he will pay for our entire meal. My friends went about 15 minutes after I got off the phone with him and he refused to give us the money back. He offered us a receipt to get our laundry done and nothing else. I had already left my clothes in their bathroom because they were ruined. The manager then yelled at my friends and walked away. This restaurant should be ashamed of themselves!!! Plus if you go, you'll probably use the same utensils and plates this guy used who threw up. Who knew if he had a stomach bug. Absolutely unsanitary and they barely cleaned the floors he threw up on. DO NOT GO HERE read more

The restaurant was recommended by my good friend in Israel. It was spot on. To start most of the seating is located below street level yet the ventilation was quite good as it was one of those warm days. For starters we had carpaccio, tomato with bufalo mozzerella and cucumber soup with chunks of salmon. The carpaccio was very fresh and slicetd thin. The tomato was so good we didn't even bother with the olive oil and balsamic vinegar. The soups is a cold soup and very light and refreshing. For entrée we ordered pasta carbonara, gnocchi with black truffles, and grilled turbot with grilled vegetables. The pasta was prepared perfectly as was the carbonara which had a nice kick. The gnocchi was airy and light along with t he trufflesnit was a perfect pairing. The turbot was grilled and seasoned to perfection. Panna cota was the sessert of choice. Delicious. After all that food, it was goodnto have a walk back to our hotel. The service was great. iur waiter was not only helpful bur also had a great sense of humor. All this great food and service and the entire bill was approx $80 usd. Amazing. read more

Since this restaurant is part of the Ambiente Group, you can be assured that the food and service are going to always be of great quality.

I would not, however, recommend it for romantic dinners. read more

'Gross. BAD SERVICE TOURIST TRAP. We're tourists and had a serious problem in this restaurant when a stranger vomited on our table. The staff did not help and instead laughed. They are a tourist restaurant that doesn't care if you return. DONT GO HERE if you want good service. read more

Overpriced food that could have come out of the freezer. The gnocchi tasted like little gummy flour balls, the best dish was the salad. They have an ENTIRE downstairs restaurant that only a few "select" people are aloud to go down into. We (a group of 4) had to sit right at the front door at tiny little tables. We had a front row seat to all the people that came in, so that gave us first hand experience to how different people were treated differently. The staff needs to have better training. If you want good food and an awesome experience....? DO NOT COME HERE!!! read more

Extremely unfriendly staff. Downright rude. I don't care if their food is awesome. They need lots of customer training

Very cool atmosphere and interior. Food is alright, it was definitely unique. I've never had fish in tortellini before and I don't know that it was a combination I would ever get again. Their pasta is handmade but it came out too al dente for my liking. I also thought that they skimped on the cream sauce. There was not enough cream to eat all the tortellinis with and there wasn't that many tortellinis in the first place. If the price was cheaper, it might have been a 4, but it was simply too much for too little. Not too mention the waiter definitely made me feel bad for not ordering a drink. read more

On my last night of 5 days in Prague. My husband and I went here for dinner last night based on reviews posted on Yelp. We were underwhelmed. I had tomato soup which, while not cold, was definitely not hot and it was over salted and tasted like it came from a can. My husband had the Tiger prawn pasta; he thought the prawns didn't have a fresh consistency. I had pasta with, I think, a venison sauce. The sauce was good but some of the pasta was all stuck together and hard in the middle. We also had some spinach bread which was very good. Service was good and the surroundings were nice but overall, I thought the food was lacking. read more
