Wow! This spot was such a great find my last visit to PSL. The food was delicious and the service was excellent! The restaurant is situated near Publix in the tradition shopping plaza. It is large and offers indoor as well as outdoor seating. I especially loved the decor and the t-shirts the staff were wearing that read "Hot Girls only need money and Pasta", it compliments my "Hot girls eat Pasta" hat We ordered the clams casino of which were tasty but a bit in the dry/overcooked side along with a salad that had mixed greens, sliced green apples, candied pecans, goat cheese and a lovely house made vinaigrette. For our entree we ordered the traditional Roman style cheese pizza. The crust was thin, and excellent sauce/cheese ratio and fresh basil. It was delicious and will be a definite go-to next time I visit. read more

My wife and I were in the Port Saint Lucie area to escape the NY winter and enjoy some Mets baseball. We wanted some authentic New York Italian food, I was skeptical but , we couldn't have been more pleased. Pastaio is a small authentic Italian restaurant the likes of which we have rarely seen. We grabbed 2 bar seats as we typically do. Troy was the bartender. Fantastic job. Personable and attentive. He made well crafted drinks with attention to detail. I had an old fashioned. Perfectly made , chilled and served over 1 large clear cube. My wife had a vodka/soda/ cranberry drink which was perfectly blended. To start we received a basket of bread. I normally wouldn't mention this but to call this "bread" would be an insult. This was warm delicious Tuscan Italian bread bathed in butter and covered in sharp fresh Parmesan . Literally a meal on its own. For the appetizer we went with the eggplant stack. Fantastic. Crispy eggplant , delicious authentic sauce smothered in rich mozzarella. Main course for me was homemade cavatelli in Sunday sauce. This included fall off the bone pork ribs and an incredibly authentic Italian meat ball. My 1st generation Italian family, including my mom would have loved this! My wife also had the home made cavatelli, however she chose the Cavatelli Trattoria. A delicious blend of chicken, spinach, cherry tomatoes and roasted herbs. Delicious. If you live in the Port Saint Lucie area and haven't been here and enjoyed a serious authentic Italian meal, this is your place. Ditch the Olive Garden and see what Italian food is really all about. We are anxiously awaiting our return to Florida and this is our first stop.! read more

We have been here two times, Troy has always been our bartender and he is excellent. He can make any one of those cocktails that is on the menu to perfection!! I wish we took pictures of our food. I'm sorry we didn't. The clams Casino 10 out of 10, the chicken piccata was so good and the kale Caesar is outstanding! We come to visit Port St. Lucie every couple months and definitely will just start eating here every single time. We have sat at the bar the last few times and everybody is so friendly! read more

Pastio is hands down some of the best Italian in Tradition. Every dish tastes fresh, authentic, and made with real care -- from the rich sauces to the perfectly cooked pasta. You can tell they focus on quality ingredients and classic flavors that keep you coming back. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it great for date night, family dinners, or a casual night out. The service is friendly, attentive, and makes the whole experience feel even more enjoyable. No matter what you order, it's consistently delicious. If you're looking for reliable, authentic Italian in Tradition, Pastio is an easy five stars. read more

We love Pastaio - especially for their Happy Hour and Early Bird dinners. Designed in a modern chic style, this restaurant is large but also intimate, as it's separated nicely between entryway, dining, and bar. The service is always okay, not really anything to write home about - either negatively or positively, but the food is consistently good, and the location is so convenient for us. We've been several times in the last few months for double dates with friends and every time the food and drinks were great. My go-to espresso martini is reliable and actually even better this last time than usual. The pour was perfect and the flavor matched. This week we tried the clams casino pizza and spicy rigatoni vodka dinner special that came with a kale Caesar and dessert of the night (crumb cake that day). The clams casino was even better than expected, although I asked for lightly baked and it was still pretty brown and crispy. The kale Caesar is one of my favorite salads from any restaurant EVER and I eat a lot of salad, haha! The spicy vodka rigatoni was good at the restaurant but even better as leftovers. And the crumb cake was thick and dense, which everyone in my house also loved. Last time we had the burrata appetizer and the carbonara pasta dinner special - again with the kale Caesar but that time the dessert was cheesecake. We loved the burrata, it was soft and flavorful, the carbonara was fresh and tasty, but the cheesecake lacked in my opinion (but admittedly I'm not a fan of cheesecake anyway). Either way, all around I highly recommend Pastaio, especially the kale Caesar! read more

This was probably my favorite dinner out in Port St. Lucie since I've been here. I had hometown friends (a couple) visiting from back in New York and we wanted somewhere to enjoy our last evening together at. It was rainy so everyone had to pack inside which meant we needed to get on the waitlist, but we didn't mind since we walked around Tradition and had a great time grabbing drinks in the meanwhile. When we finally got called back the hostess was an absolute gem, sweet, and kind, talking to us through our shenanigans while we waited for a table to open up (we missed our initial slot since we were having a bit of fun and didn't walk back quick enough - none the less, they worked to get us a spot) Our waiter was also extremely friendly and chatting with us and helped advise on the best food selections. They did not disappoint. Everything that came out was a hit. The drinks were amazing, the food was delicious, and the vibes were at an all time high. From the bread to the app to the pasta to the entree to the dessert (I'm glad we had three people so we could share and try everything). Needless to say, there were no leftovers! Getting hungry just thinking about this meal. Definitely one of the finest local spots. read more

Searched Yelp for a good Italian spot, and this one surfaced to the top. We are moving to the area and this turned out to be a fantastic Italian restaurant with a wonderful menu. There are dining options for both inside and outside. We sat outside and the weather was perfect and the service was excellent. Between the pasta and pizza, it was wonderful. We will be back soon and looking forward to exploring and tasting the entire menu. If you are looking for a great spot for lunch or dinner, stop by and give them a try. Enjoy! read more

Pastaio has become my go-to spot, and for good reason. The pasta and pizza are all made by hand, and you can taste the difference; fresh, simple, and always delicious. Honestly, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu (trust me, I've tried almost everything). The cocktails are just as solid. No matter what you order, they get it right every time. The atmosphere has this easy, welcoming vibe that reminds me of South Florida; laid-back but still full of energy. If you're looking for a place that's consistent, flavorful, and just plain enjoyable, Pastaio is it. read more

We've been there before and we loved it, so we decided to go back and try this time their pizza and handmade pasta. We were greeted properly by Jules, a beautiful young lady with a great smile, she was charming and super friendly. Our server Jenna was also amazing, polite, efficient and professional. Great job to both of them! We ordered pizza and a spaghetti Amatriciana served with pancetta instead of guanciale,but certainly better than bacon, both plates were tasty and delicious. The ambiance was casual and comfortable. The prices were very reasonable. It's our go to restaurant for delicious Italian cuisine and great service! Check it out Yelpers, read more

Great atmosphere, good service, good food. The Pizza is amazing. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

This place is popular in town and very busy. We like their pizza for takeout although it can be a little extra crispy for my taste so I like to get it lightly done. I was walking around town busy Friday night with my family and we decided to try to grab a cappuccino to go at the bar . That was a mistake. We ended up waiting in a long time to even get service and then when we did get them, they were bad, and expensive. Get the pizza, skip the cappuccinos. Don't try to go there on a busy night and grab something to go at the bar either especially if you are pushing kids in a stroller. Ambience is nice , cute outdoor seating as well. read more

I really like this place... Well, I really like the food. It's small and crowded, tables not really big enough for their (quite good) pizzas and drinks. Not really a bad thing, but a reason I don't think about going there to eat. My favorite dishes are the Cucumber Tomato salad, and the Pappardelle Bolognese. It's a tremendous amount of delicious food that goes great with a cabernet sauvignon. We tried the old location in the old Ruby Tuesday in Palm City, which was a great interior, spacious, upscale, but sadly the food wasn't as good as the Tradition location. read more

This is always my go to place when I am in town. I absolutely love their pasta. I always get the pesto pasta with chicken. Also, their garlic bread is to die for I honestly can't stop eating. Our waiter. Tori was beyond attentive and took great care of us. Even the ambience you can tell there are many frequent flyers. Just genuine relationships with the employees and their customers. read more

Met friends for lunch at this Italian restaurant in Port St. Lucie. They are open for lunch and dinner seven days a week. They have an outdoor sidewalk patio in the front of the shopping center. The inside atmosphere is very modern with a large bar. The server brought delicious olive oil seasoned bread to the table. I had the entree Misto Salad $15.95 and it was so healthy and delicious with fresh greens, pears, walnuts and goat cheese with a balsamic vinaigrette. read more

Food was nasty, service was mediocre, and they charged my card twice. Never going back!

Small restaurant, but good food and good service. I enjoy spaghetti with clams, or with Tuscan Shrimp, my husband likes the Bolognese and the salmon. We often take out pizza. read more

Mixed review. Appetizer the Burrata board was excellent. I had the Pasta Carbonara which I found to be underwhelming. Pasta was overcooked and the sauce was very pasty, more like an Alfredo sauce. My biggest complaint is that they allowed an overserved person to disrupt the atmosphere in the restaurant. He was loud and using profanity (dropped the F... bomb). The staff did nothing to stop his behavior. It spoiled the atmosphere in the restaurant. Not sure if I would go back. read more

Much improved service. Glad I tried again. Will definitely return. Food was always excellent.

I have only gotten it to go but it has been great every time. The pasta is always fresh. I've tried their appetizers, pasta and pizza and always enjoy them. The rigatoni is definitely a fave of mine. Service is never an issue. read more

Just absolutely delicious! We have tried the Kung fu chicken pizza, pear salad, the fried mozzarella ball(can't think of name) and the Gnocci pasta (blonde) wow wow wow. Everything here is fresh and delicious! A bit pricey but definitely feels worth it! read more

I used to love going here but my past visit was very disappointing . I went with 7 other people they brought out one dish of bread with about 5 pieces we asked for more and they said it would cost about $6. Honestly for 8 people 2 servings should have beef put out and to charge $6 extra is unheard of. The appetizers were brought out some of got it and others waited patiently for about another 10 min or more. When our food came out we waited about 20 min for someone to bring cheese. They brought us a cheese shaker that you would get at a pizzeria . My husband got up and got a cheese grater and how fast the waiter came and grabbed it out of his hand and said it was his job. We told him we waited for 20 min for someone to come. Also their portions have gotten smaller too. We used to love comming here , sorry will not be returning. read more

This is truly a gem in Tradition! We stopped in last night for dinner with friends who are considering moving to the area. They don't take reservations for parties less than 8 which is truthfully the only reason they don't have 5 . This is very much the type of caliber I expect to see on open table. Our server was wonderful. We had a couple of mixups in the kitchen but the food was absolutely delicious. We will definitely be returning. read more

My daughter has been here a few times since my initial review for their pizza and loved their lasagna. So, for her birthday this is where she wanted to go. And no joke, best lasagna I've ever eaten. Their garlic bread was equally amazing. So much so our waitress sent us home with a few pieces extra. The portion was generous and our waitress was wonderful. Albeit pricey, but I don't mind when the food and service are excellent. Oh, almost forgot, my daughter got my to try the kale Cesar salad which was very good as well. read more

*Request for the RISOTTO to be brought onto the menu permanently or at least seasonally ! The mushroom risotto was exceptional. My family & I go into Pastaio every time we want to eat out, it's phenomenal one of the best Italian restaurants anywhere nearby. I would say it rivals some of the best in south Florida without a doubt. The kale Caesar salad is incredible, the pasta is fresh and so delicious the flavors are savory and so well developed. Their mussels are wonderful but every time we've gone in the last year we've asked if risotto is on the menu because the first fine we had it, it was seafood risotto. It was phenomenal, last week we stopped in and they had the risotto ! Their spaghetti Pomodoro is delicious, their parpadelle pasta is amazing as well as their shrimp on that dish. The service is always so friendly and wonderful. It's great being able to walk in without a reservation, it's such a gem I want it to stay this way but it's only a matter of time. Ambiance is neat, clean and adorable. Don't miss out ! read more

Absolutely delish. Everything was fantastic, gf had gluten free pasta and was very pleased. Small place but worth it

If you're on the hunt for a fantastic gluten-free pizza, look no further! We started our meal with the meatballs, which were to die for and super filling. For the main course, I went with a 10-inch cauliflower pizza. They have the option to build your own or choose from their specialty selections. I decided on the Cassino, which featured chopped Jersey clams, bacon, onions, peppers, bread crumbs, and fresh mozzarella. It was incredible! My friend, who is blessed with zero gluten-free allergies, opted for the Fresh Burrata pizza. It included semi-soft mozzarella, prosciutto, arugula salad, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze. She's been living in Port St. Lucie for a while and insists that this is the best pizza she's ever had in the area! read more

My wife and I come down with our daughter to Port St. Lucie every year now to visit a family friend. She suggested we visit Pastaio and we had a nice visit this past Friday night. Service was solid although I will mention that the hostesses were neither friendly nor hostile. A hint of a smile goes a long way, but it could have just been the fact that they were busy. Our seats inside were provided quickly, which was very much appreciated since our kid was starving. The table bread was absolutely delicious! I probably could have eaten just that and been decently happy. My wife and I ordered a couple of pizzas and one of our friends ordered the eggplant dish. It was large and looked delicious. The pepperoni was tasty. I don't know if they make it in-house, but I would not be surprised. The ambiance was really great and our family friend ordered her usual cocktail. She seemed very happy with it. The bar area looks like a fun spot to hang on a Friday night. Overall it was a nice experience. Oh also there is tons of parking out front. read more

Food: 5 star Service: 5 Ambience: 5 We really enjoyed our dinner! Met friends. I started with an aperol spritz which was great. We ended up sharing a bottle of wine. I had the beet salad and the mussels in a white sauce. The beet salad was mixed greens, big pieces of reed beets which were amazing, walnuts and goat cheese.. mmm the dressing was so good. This salad alone would have been sufficient for dinner. The mussels though I had to taste. The flavor was excellent, albeit they were on the smaller side. None came closed up which is a big +. My husband said his lasagne was the best he's ever had. They make all of their pasta in house. They have all the good pasta dishes to offer, bolognese,papperdelle and so much more. We will have to go back soon. It is not a big restaurant and they do not take reservations for less than 8. read more

Food is always good but beware of the prices for top shelf alcohol! $20 martinis are a little steep, imho.

We had a terrible experience here. We were told 1 hour wait, ended up getting our table after about 2. Took more than 20 minutes to even get our water filled up. Especially frustrating because we were assured that it would be fine & could've made plans elsewhere. Understandable is not taking reservations. Unacceptable is how it was handled after the fact. We were ignored. If the place is busy at all, you should probably go literally anywhere else. They are not good on their word for wait times and even when you're seated you'll be largely ignored. read more
