I stopped into this restaurant for lunch. When I arrived I parked on the street nearby. I walked into a cozy spot. I was greeted and ordered: Mini Calzone Fettuccine Meat Lovers (Fettuccine Alfredo, Bolognese, Meatballs) Lobster Fettuccine (Fettuccine Alfredo & Lobster Ragu) Mushroom Risotto I loved how they made the pasta in the cheese wheel! I enjoyed the lobster pasta the most! The risotto was not too bad. All in all a good experience! read more

I think folks may be misunderstanding the type of food at this place. This is a basic affordable no frills pasta place. Nothing face just nice basic appropriately portion pasta dishes. And I love it! read more

Enjoyed coming here for a quick, fulfilling and yummy lunch! The place is rather small and seating is limited, but I was able to find a table to enjoy my meal within reasonable time. The service is quick. Not the cheapest meal you'll have in NYC but I would recommend checking them out! read more

I'm obsessed with this place. The pasta is al dente and fresh. I got chicken Alfredo with pesto and looking back at these photos now I wish I could go back in time and eat it again. The service was great and the employees will all help. You decide on what to eat if you're indecisive like me. The was cozy and convenient. read more

This is a fast casual restaurant that has appeared in viral Instagram posts because of their "cheese wheel". Though they do have some seating, most of their business is from takeout orders. If you are expecting high quality pasta, this is not the place. Their "cheese wheel" is just a big wheel of parmesan cheese where they will mix your pasta in. This is done at the front window and was a great marketing ploy to go viral. You get to choose the type of meat and toppings you want in your order. A bowl of pasta here is about $16. The portion is very filling and is a reasonable price for a takeout meal of this size. The food is not authentic and most of the ingredients have been prepackaged and frozen. read more

Pasta in a cheese wheel? Yes, please! You start by getting in line, choosing your toppings and sauce for the pasta, and then the magic starts. They drop the hot pasta into a huge cheese wheel, swirling and smothering it until it's coated in creamy melted cheese. Everyone was in awe watching the process. The pasta itself was tender, rich, and creamy. I could've easily gone for a second round. If you're a fan of pasta and cheese, this is definitely worth trying. The spot does have seating, but it's a small space. You can also expect to wait a bit since its popular. read more

I got the Alfredo with shrimp and my partner got the Alfredo with chicken. For the price, it was worth it. It came out to $15 for each person. As for flavor, it was lacking. We needed to add salt to our dish. There wasn't enough Alfredo sauce in my opinion. The shrimp was carrying the pasta for me. I tried 1 piece of the chicken and preferred the shrimp more. The chicken had a strong meat essence and I couldn't taste the garlic or spices. read more

This place is known for one thing so it was a little comical when the person (mom) who recommended this place asks "that's all they have?" when we get there. There were three of us, getting the different toppings and the arancini and all left happy with our orders. The outdoor patio was also really nice until the sky opened up. We'll come back for a fix. read more

2nd time having this. Simple menu and quick wait, unless ordering the arancini....food is fresh, tasty. Ordered the fettuccine Alfredo with garlic shrimp and pesto. Took it to go and when we got home, it did have additional Parmesan on it, which was not ordered. It made the meal more salty than I would have preferred. It was tasty, line is always there. Still a good, filling meal for a decent price. read more

Came here on a weekday day with a friend after seeing the many viral videos on social media. Thankfully there was only a short line and it moved pretty quickly. Loved that all of the fresh pastas noodles get tossed in the cheese wheel and you're able to pick additional sauce and toppings. I ordered the pasta with arrabbiata sauce and Parmesan. It came quickly and had olives as well. Pasta was cooked perfectly and fresh. Sauce didn't have a ton of spice for an arrabbiata, but was still tasty. The restaurant feels like a hole in the wall but had a decent amount of seating. There's also an outdoor seating space on the back. Overall decent pasta and a good casual eat. I'd come back! read more

Came a couple months ago with friends after hearing about it on social media. We waited in line for about half an hour before we were able to place our order. The food was decent especially for the price. I'm not sure I would wait in line for it again but definitely a good takeout consideration. We ordered the Alfredo with Bolognese and Arrabiata. Keep in mind that there is limited seating inside with lots of people in line or waiting for food. read more

Food: 4/5 | Service: 4/5 | Experience: 3.5/5 This hole in the wall does not have much seating. It's meant to be more of a takeout. It was a bit odd to have the pasta being cooked in front of the line behind the register, but it was interesting to have that look. I got the fettucine alfredo (base for every pasta) and added the bolognese on top. I also got the arancini. Food is very fresh, and the portion size for the pasta is generous. I really liked the arancini too as it was fresh, hot, and cheesy. For what I paid, I felt it was well worth. I'd come again perhaps when the line is not too long outside. read more

PastaSole - fettucine alfredo w/ bolognese - Italian Near Me - New York, New York

Prices aren't crazy and quality matches what you'd expect from a fast-casual restaurant, but the food was tasty! We ordered the fettuccine alfredo and added parmesan cheese on top for an extra $2 (it's the powdered kind). Tasted very yummy actually, but it was only luke warm. We asked and the pesto contains peanuts - we specifically clarified if they meant pine nuts and they asked the chef. It's peanuts. read more

Wife found this place on Tik Tok and with free Saturdays now, we decided to try something new. The only somewhat semi negative thing of the place is that there is barely a place to sit at but it's a testament of how good the food is with so many people getting a bite. Wife had the chicken fettuccine with Alfredo sauce and Parmesan which she said was very good but chicken needed a little more seasoning. I had the shrimp fettuccine with red sauce and it was soooo tasty - left me wanting more. When you first get the food it looks small but it's deceiving - weighted a lot and the portions they give you felt like they poured the food in. We even tried the Aritini balls and I really enjoyed those. Nice place for a bite before a date. Good food. Great busy atmosphere. Fresh hot food. And parking in the area was not as bad. read more

The pasta itself has no flavor. It is very bland and for it to be cooked a little on the parm wheel you would expect it to be very flavorful and cheesy, but it was not and I was disappointed. The place itself is small but has good Italian music playing. The staff is also very friendly, that's why it is a 6/10. I feel that even if I added chicken, the chicken would be the star. It needed way more parm for it be amazing but that's not how pasta should be. read more

PastaSole - Fettuccine Alfredo - Italian Near Me - New York, New York

I saw this place on IG and got so excited because I had went to a similar place when I was in Venice. I had such high hopes in coming here. The noodles were cooked al dente but I was a little disappointed. Even though the noodles were in the cheese wheel, they were not that cheesy and was honestly lacking in flavor. We opted for the bolognese and that didn't really help either It was missing some salt and the creaminess factor. How it works is that the noodles are cooked in a big batch, then put into the cheese wheel and spin around in it. After, the noodles are all taken out and put in separate bowls. Then, toppings are added as per order and they will call out your name Idk if I will be coming back here again read more

PastaSole - Bolognese - Italian Near Me - New York, New York

Came here around opening and there was no line. I had high hopes for this place! Reasonable price point for homemade pasta. The Staff was nice and took my order quickly. I got a chicken fettuccine alfredo. The wait was around 10-15 min as the store was empty. I'm glad there was seating inside for me to wait. As for the pasta, the noodles were soft and pleasant. Nothing life changing. Sadly both the chicken and sauce fell short. The chicken was quite dry and I don't think it's worth an extra $4. The sauce had NO seasoning whatsoever. There was pretty much no salt or pepper / any kind of seasoning I could taste. It just tasted like cream mixed with noodles. It's difficult for me to eat a bunch of bland noodles in one sitting so I split it into two. It felt very heavy and monotonous. I had a disappointing experience but I hope the other menu items are better. read more

PastaSole - Chicken Alfredo - Italian Near Me - New York, New York

Nothing special. Definitely have had better elsewhere. For the line and hype of this place would expect the chicken to be less dry. Flavor of the arrabbiata sauce was good, but fettuccine alfredo lacked salt. Pasta noodles were fine but a bit too soft, expected chewier and more al dente. For the price point and hype, this place is alright but prob wouldn't come back necessarily. read more

Have been dying to try some pasta fresh from a cheese wheel and "Pasta de Pasta" (apparently now called "Pasta Sole") popped up in my search. All pastas start with the fettuccine Alfredo base then you can add proteins and other toppings. It was small and crowded in there and we had to wait 10 minutes or so for our orders but was happy to do so since the pasta was so hot and fresh! The pesto was the star of the show and the portion size was good for the price! read more

Pasta de Pasta has been trending online recently and I think it's worth the hype! We came on a Sunday afternoon around 1 pm and there was no line. The premise of this place is they serve fettuccine made fresh daily with a base sauce (Alfredo) that costs $9.90, and you can pay to customize your pasta with additional toppings such as sauces, meats, and cheese. You order at the front and pick up your pasta and then go find seating. There's plenty of tables between their smaller indoor space and large back patio, but it did get quite hot if you're not under the shade. They also have a restroom. I got the original fettuccine Alfredo ($9.90) with no add-ons, but was able to try a bite of my friend's pasta with pesto and sundried tomatoes. The original pasta was super comforting, rich and had a nice bite. While I preferred the classic, the pesto and tomatoes definitely added more flavor. I also tried the fried Arancini (delicious and so cheesy!). I am a huge pasta lover, and think Pasta de Pasta's concept is amazing. I would 100% come back if I'm in the area to try some of their other toppings or if I'm just craving a cheap, tasty plate of pasta! read more

This was a TikTok recommended spot and was worth the 30 min bike ride to get there plus waiting time to order then sit down. It's your classic cheese wheel pasta with choice of toppings and sauce to make it a casual spot to chill with friends or pick me up spot during your lunch break. Do be mindful that there is a bit of a line and hype over this new pasta location in the East Village. And please do be respectful of the work space when taking pictures since they have an open window with the cheese wheel and toppings. Everything is sorted and has a clean system when cooking the pasta and prepping each order. Orders do get backed (sometimes) so be patient but attentive when they call out your name to assure you pick up your order. Do try this place if you love pasta and adding all the toppings (which are an additional cost) you want onto it read more

I let the hype about this place really hype me up! The inside is very small and they aren't friendly at all. I spoke to the cashier and she didn't speak back. I proceeded to place my order. They do have a spot for people to dine in my again it is very tight!. The pasta had some flavor to it but I was a little disappointed that my broccoli was cold and the pasta was luck warm. I didn't eat all of it and decided to warm it up for lunch the next day and it was an epic fail. I wasted 19.03 on this bowl of pasta. The food came out pretty fast! read more

Great place; very small and cozy. Staff is always smiling and making sure that everything is alright. The food is amazing and so so so good for the price as well; I recommend the Fettuccine Alfredo with the garlic shrimp. read more

Found this place from a viral IG post so I was pretty hyped to try it. I knew this was a budget pasta place so I didn't expect much in terms of the space. I actually figured it's take out only since the food is served in paper containers. They have 1 main dish on the menu that serves as the base- chicken Alfredo. Then you can add sauces, meats, and other toppings on top for an additional charge. My pasta dish ended up being $16 with the toppings added. First they cook the pasta on the pan, then bring it to the storefront where someone mixes it in a cheese barrel. It looked delicious when they mixed it in that barrel but man looks are deceiving. The pasta that I got was very bland. I'm not sure where the cheese flavor went? I went with 3 other friends and we all only had a few bites before we couldn't eat anymore. I tried my pasta soon after I got it and it wasn't even hot.. I still think it's weird that they mix white sauce with red sauce. Definitely not authentic. I also ordered Arancini and they forgot it. The person taking my order was nice but to be honest none of the staff looked like they wanted to be there. Also not a single Italian person in the kitchen. That should say something about this place.. Do not come here looking for good pasta. read more

This place is really overhyped- I had seen alot of insta publicity for it before trying so maybe i had higher expectations. Yes the ambiance of pasta being made infront of you is nice but the long lines and price doesnot justify what you get out of it. The 3rd star is just for the really nice backyard seating area( YES there is one and you have to find it all the way in back). The pasta as described by other reviews is really dry and so is the meat you ask for. I got Chicken and dried tomatoes for toppings because each topping costs you extra dollars ranging from a dollar to 4. So a regular serving with no sauce and just two toppings cost me around 17/18 bucks which is alot for pasta in a box honestly. The pasta was just not dry it wasnt even cooked properly. Also the time our orders were being made there was chaos going on between the staff related to some alfredo sauce delay which could be the reason it was rushed. Overall staff seemed little frazzled too. Another good thing is their fried arancini- they were great. read more

Listen to me: this was some of the best pasta I've had in my life. Hubby and I got the fettuccine Alfredo with mushrooms and onions and sat right down at one of the little tables. The vibes were so chill, there was some good music playing. And the staffer at the counter was so nice, we appreciated her recommendation. The itis hit us afterward, the pasta was so good. Will absolutely be back next time we're in NY. read more

The pasta was alright. Especially with toppings and sauces costing extra, it actually gets pretty expensive in order for it to taste good. The garden area in the back is very cute tho. This place does not live up to the hype though unfortunately. read more

Tried this place yesterday, first time. I was excited. The pasta was fresh and on point HOWEVER, the pasta was bland and had no flavor. Like zero. None. Unless you add additional toppings. 2/5 not worth the hype I think. read more

A trendy, hole-in-the-wall spot serving up build-your-own pastas with an alfredo base -- they don't have too much seating, so would recommend grabbing to-go. Think they offer great value for the amount of pasta versus the price, and the staff is very friendly! We stopped by for a Monday evening dinner and they ran out of pesto -- they were nice enough to swap it for something else, but that was a bit of a bummer in the build-your-own spot. The pasta itself was fresh and filling, but not sure it's worth the TikTok hype. read more

Me and my friends arrived the place before the opening hour and waited for a few mins. We ordered Fettuccine with shrimps and broccoli, caramelized chicken and broccoli. We had to wait for a few mins for the food to be ready and the pasta was a little bit bland. I wasn't sure if that was intentional cuz they do provide salt and pepper at the utensils area. The red sauce of the shrimp was pretty good. One of us ordered lasagna and had to wait for 30-45 mins and it wasn't that good. The staff gave him a complementary tiramisu to make up for the waiting time. They have a backyard dine-in area which was nice. Although the pasta portion seems little, we couldn't finish it all because the cheese made us feel full. read more

I'm not a native of New York nor do I live there. I found this restaurant based on an instagram reel and it looked amazing!!! The line was short when I got here and they had seating in the backyard available. I ordered my pasta the cashier didn't have any recommendations or anything so I got broccoli, sun dried tomatoes and shrimp added. My pasta was rather bland and needed more sauce. The video I saw was super cheesy and saucy that was not what I received. The ARANCINI was amazing. That is what I would order again and again. Kids are not a fan of the ARANCINI, well my younger kids weren't. They did enjoy their pasta and it was a good value. I'd just suggest not getting the sundried tomatoes they were too sweet, add extra sauce and parm. The place gave a good quick bite hangout vibe. If you're in the area I suggest you give it a try but it's not worth commuting over 25 minutes for. read more

I was really excited about this place after eating at similar "fast food" pasta places in Italy. This place was so promising but needed a lot more seasoning/salt. The Alfredo sauce could have been thicker and cheesier as well. The texture of the fresh pasta was on point though. Unfortunately it did not come close to what we had in Italy but it's not bad if you want some fresh pasta. read more
