Amazingly freshly made pasta, with unbeatable prices. Few types of pasta but well done

Very very Good!! Small but delicious place!! Right by the Vatican. Quick service excellent pasta

Trust me, I read all the reviews. I thought "Oh, this must be a good, cheap grab and go pasta place! Great! It's right beside our AirBnB so we'll have to go try it!" I wish that were the case. The pasta is prepared right in front of you and takes a few minutes in the store. The prices are good (6€ a plate) and portions are large. But the pasta... The pasta was quite undercooked. No, not al denté. I'm a fan of al denté, and was quite excited to dig in. This pasta was just undercooked. Hard, raw, and not even really hot; just lukewarm. The carbonara was the easiest to get though because it had thinner noodles, but still was unpleasantly hard. The strozzapreti pasta was. So. Hard. To. Get. Through. (no pun intended.) It was just so hard and uncooked. Same with the pappardelle. The sauces, though, are alright. My brother really enjoyed his truffle sauce. The carbonara was too salty, the pesto was just slightly under average normal pesto. Anyways, I'm pretty sure this is either a tourist trap based on its location, or our entire order (of five plates of pasta) was somehow screwed up, and not to par with normal quality. Grab a bite somewhere else. read more

Soo good!! Must go when in rome! I wish I discovered this place earlier on! Fresh, yummy, and great portions for the price!! If you get this at a sit down restaurant, the pasta could be twice the price. It is right out of the Flaminio metro stop and near many bus stops, super convenient location. read more

I ordered the Spaghetti Cacio e Pepe and was not a fan. The food was fresh though and ready pretty quickly. There are a couple of barstools here for people to sit at. This place is within walking distance of The Vatican. read more

Stumbled upon this place when we were on our way to the Vatican. It was pretty packed but it makes sense considering we were on our way on Easter Sunday... However, even though the place was packed with people, they were still fast! It only took them 10-15 mins to make 3 bowls of pasta for us. It was super cheap. They have a menu posted outside the door, you go to the register & tell them what you want, you pay & they'll call out your number when done. Simple as that! You can watch them make the pasta bowls which was a cool aspect, but there was just no room inside the tiny place so we went outside & had a seat on the steps next to the restaurant. If you're there on a day where it isn't busy, they do have seats inside! The pasta comes in a big bowl with a plastic fork, but it was the good quality kind of plastic. My pasta was alright, but my boyfriend's pasta was THE BOMB. I wish I would've gotten whatever he had. It was the one with the truffles in the description. So if you're stuck deciding, go with any pasta with truffles! Also, the portions were pretty big (for us anyways) so you could technically split with one more person. Oh, & the best part is, they sell wine!! Def try this place out if you're in the area! read more

If you are in a hurry to do the many activities of Italy this place has very inexpensive pasta and they make it fast. I ordered the spaghetti alla carbonara, it was good while eating it but just a warning it is strong on black pepper. I don't know how much pepper they used but it covered the whole dish. Overall they gave a lot of food for less than what you'd pay for elsewhere in a to go container that I was able to take back to the place I was staying at. read more

Okay, not the world's best pasta but reasonably priced and they at least give you more than other places in the area that seem to skimp you. Not much selection and not that much meat on the pastas but it tastes decently for a meal. Pasta was kind of chewy, meaning undercooked. Idk if I'm giving this a higher than normal review but comparing to other food on this trip. Also... My Discover card declined despite there being a sticker for it on the window. read more

A must stop if you're visiting the Vatican City and are looking for cheap food to go. There were 6 options to choose from on the menu and all of them were 6€! They make the pasta from scratch and it's super fresh and authentic - some people may think it's undercooked but I certainly enjoy the chewiness of the pasta a lot more. I got the Paperdelle a Ragu and it was quite the treat! The flat noodles were beautiful along with the bolognese sauce - if you like classic pastas this ones definitely for you! The portion was very big and definitely filling, however, you can opt to add 1.50€ for 1.5x the portion which is very worth it if you are sharing between two people or have a big stomach. The pesto one on the other hand tasted pretty classic, however the portion is for sure smaller than the others. I heard other customers also saying the truffle one was out of the world. You really can't go wrong here, just pick the sauce that you enjoy the most! I only wish that there were more options and a bigger seating area - you'll probably be eating on the floor. read more

The freshly made pasta was so good. I tried the pesto and ragu and both were delicious. There was a line going out the door. Don't expect to be seated because there was none, the place is small, but it was a fun experience nonetheless sitting on the steps with strangers while eating incredibly fresh pasta! read more

I COULD EAT THIS EVERYDAY. While starving roaming Rome, my group stumbled upon this little store near our hotel. It was cheap and didn't look half bad, so why not? BEST DECISION EVER. The pasta with egg and fat bits is SO GOOD. The portions are on the big side, and the disposable bowls are really neat in photos. The customer service was great. It is a pretty small store though, so we just sat outside on the sidewalk. We came back for the rest of our time in Rome because it was so affordable. Will come looking if I'm ever in Rome again! read more

Pastasciutta - Pasta with egg and fat pieces; heaven in a bowl - Pasta Shops Near Me - Rome, RM

Amazing food , fast service , comfortable price , and so tasty ! After visit Vatican - very recommended

One of the more affordable meals near Vatican City and not to mention, filling and delicious too! It's a small shop with a fast food type feel and it's fast food because they make it super fast right in front of you. There are a variety of dishes to choose from ranging from 5 euros+, but it's all worth it. It comes out in a cute square bowl and you can ask for it to be to-go with a cute lid and bag. Pasta is fresh and staff is friendly. Limited seating space inside with a little fan but no one will stop you from eating outside on the curb (unless you're right outside the Vatican wall). Drinks also available to buy at the counter as well as packaged bags of uncooked pasta. Also there is a bathroom inside! read more

Waited in a pretty lengthy line for this place and was hoping for the best. I was already disappointed that there was not much seating and I'd have to likely sit outside to eat my pasta. However it was TOTALLY WORTH IT! I was in Italy for 8 days and this truffle pasta easily makes it to my top 3 favorite places I went to. Pasta is so fresh and made in front of you. The truffle sauce is very flavorful and they give you a generous serving of pasta. I would definitely recommend this place to tourists visiting the area! read more

Best pasta resteraunt that I tried in Rome and the only one that makes the pasta as good as my Italian mum. Us Italians all know that Italian mothers make the best pasta. Tears of joy. read more

A perfect example of the advantage of specialization. This place focuses just on pasta. You choose one of six pastas and sometimes a couple of daily specials. You can see the fresh pasta being made on site. Order your pasta(s) and in a few minutes it is made and served in a takeaway bowl. The cheese and other ingredients taste fresh and the pasta is perfectly al dente. We found this place based on Yelp reviews and it proved to be a great meal, especially after spending all morning walking through the Vatican museums and the St. Peter's Basilica. read more

Little hole in the wall but incredible homemade pasta. Very affordable too! I'd recommend

Came here for a quick bite before visiting the Basilica. Got the Pappardelle Al Ragù and it was really good. Price was €6,00 and for that price it tasted fresh. This is a good lunch spot. read more

So good! Great to go pasta, amazing quality. We tried the pesto which was wonderful! Will def come back

A must after you are done at the Vatican. All 5 of us had different pastas, 5 waters and 2 beers. 40 euros. I had the black truffle pasta which was delicious. Not sure how they can sell that for 6 euros. My family had all different and they were all good. Special note goes to the Pesto. If you like pesto this place will not disappoint. All pastas were cooked perfecto. Lastly. The place is a little shoe box. The woman behind the counter was helpful and didn't have an attitude. Don't be intimidated to walk in and order. It's worth it. read more

This is the BEST extremely casual Italian pasta ever! I truly enjoyed the pesto pasta. Perfectly al dente. I wish I had ordered two! read more

You might not expect a great eating place right next to the Vatican for take out pasta. Actually there is a short counter with six stools but plan to take out. Of course you can sit on the curb if you're just grabbing a quick bite to eat. The take out containers and disposable forks are solid products so no worries. Now what you really want to know is does it taste any good? I think it's already been said but the quality is fantastic at a fraction of the cost (€4.5-6). Surprisingly the pasta is cooked just right to deliver your selected sauce to your taste buds. ! Buon appetito! read more

Fast food but it's actually not going to poison you. They make the pasta right there fresh in front of you and it's delicious and quick. Service is fine but I'm here for the eats. Go here if you need quick quality pasta. Will say if you cook up some ground beef and throw it in there you will not be disappointed. read more

Came here due to the reviews after the papal audience in St. Peter's Square. I ordered the spaghetti alla carbonara. It was pretty good, except it was a little too salty. It took like 3 minutes to make. So fast! Limited seating. Had a chance to charge my phone while eating. Oh, and the cashier clerk was kinda cute. read more

Ah, I've been hearing about this place for quite a while now and put it in my plan for my day spent at the Vatican. It's literally less than a 10 min walk from St. Peter's Basilica, but it's a small little store front so it can easily be missed. I love that the pasta is made right there and that it's a very casual take-away spot amongst some very pricy tourist traps. I got the spaghetti carbonara and my friend got the pasta with pesto and we both loved our dishes! The pasta was perfectly al dente, fresh, and a huge portion. I was in heaven!! I never finish my food, but I ate every bite. It was soo cheap I wish I had enough room in my stomach to get more! Lol. All in all, I loved this place and recommend it for a perfect, cheap, quick lunch! read more

Pastasciutta - Spaghetti alla carbonara - Pasta Shops Near Me - Rome, RM

Great fast food for a great price. We got the spaghetti alla carbonara and the pappardelle ai funghi for takeaway. The noodles were perfectly made and perfectly cooked -- chewy and done well. Overall, I would strongly recommend the carbonara. The spaghetti with carbonara was easily our favorite of the two. It had crunchy pork bits that were very flavorful and added a nice texture to the creamy, full-bodied egg sauce. It was €5.50 for a decently sized bowl. The pappardelle ai funghi was good, simple with just mushroom and salt. It was a bit plain for my taste, and a little salty but still decent. It was €6. The food was served quickly in 2-3 minutes, and we took ours to eat while waiting in line for the Sistine Chapel. Great food for the price! I'd come back again if I needed a quick bite in the area. read more

Hands down this was the best pasta I've ever had. I was walking down the street and I happened to turn my head to look down aa side street. What I saw was an awning reading Fresh Handmade Pasta, and about fifty people standing outside. Well, it was lunch time and I didn't have to be anywhere so I turned down the street. Fortunately the majority of the crowd had already ordered and were just waiting for their pasta. So, the menu is small, eight items, all of them pasta of course, but the pasta and sauces are prepared so well you'd expect to be paying significantly more than the six euros most of the dishes cost. I do wish they had more seating, but having written that there's something about standing on the street with a bunch of other people enjoying exceptional food that's kind of special too. It's my favorite place for pasta in Rome! read more

Came here after a long day of waiting in lines around Vatican City. The line was not as long here as we anticipated from Yelp photos! Got the cacio e Pepe and it was very fresh and presented in really cute bowls. I wish there was more pepper and more cheese on mine as it tasted a little blander than I would've liked. Nevertheless, it was still yummy! I think I would get something else the next time I stop by! :) read more

I wanted to like this place so much . The person who took our order was nice and the food came out fast . That's the only reason I gave it two stars . My family got three different pastas and we only took two bites each . It's a a take away resturant and there were tons of people eating outside and seemingly enjoying their food . I had high hopes for this place , but the food wasn't even edible for us . read more

If you are looking for a quick freshly made pasta meal near the Vatican then this is the place to go. Amazing tasty pasta. The carbonara here is outstanding. The bacon they use has tons of flavor and really puts the carbonara over the top. Your order is made fresh. The prices are very also very reasonable. Service is very helpful and friendly. You can watch them cook your order. Seating is limited, but have a seat on the curb and enjoy your meal like most of the customers do. read more

Italy and Rome in particular obviously have amazing pasta restaurants on practically every corner, but Pastascuitta stands out.

This is a great take on fast food, everything is made fast right in front of you. They have a very short menu and everything ready to go. for not much money I usually had my food in less then 5 minutes then off to a local park to eat. If there was a down side, Its that the pasta is not as cooked as I am used to having it. That seemed standard for Italy. I'm sure they would find what I am used to over cooked. They have large servings with nice flavor, I went back several times. read more

Great place to get a quick bite. The prices are a bargain for the amount of paste you're getting. There's only 6 choices though. But a lot of good vegetarian/vegan options! Location: right near the Vatican and the perfect meal after you've walked more than 16,839 steps in a day in Rome. You need the carbs from all the walking! Inside: you order right inside the door. The lady taking our order didn't give us a number but gave the people after us a number. But she did tell us when our order was up because we were confused. There's about 5-6 seats against the wall inside and a small high table outside that'll fit 2 people. You can always get the food to go/carry out if you don't want to just stand outside and eat. I couldn't finish my food and they gave me a to go box. Food: they make their pasta fresh and you can DEFINITELY tell. This was the best priced meal we've had in Italy so far in the last 4 days. read more

I took a group of students here and we all really enjoyed it. No place to sit, but the staff are very friendly and the past is absolutely wonderful. The next time you come to Rome, be sure to make a stop. I had the spaghetti carbonara, my daughter had the spaghetti con limone, and others had the fusilli with pesto. All were tremendous. We'll be back. So the NEXT DAY, we had pappardelle a funghi, also delicious. Great for vegetarians! read more

Highly recommend coming here for a bite to eat, especially if you're going to see/be by the Vatican! Came here twice during our 3-day stay in Rome and this will probably one of the things I dream about when I think back to my time in Europe! This place serves by far the best pasta I've ever had. It super fresh, flavorful, and inexpensive. Only €5.50 per plate?? Such a steal, especially being just around the corner from the Vatican. Tried the carbonara, ravioli, and gnocchi -- would recommend any and all! read more
