We were curious how an Italian eatery a little off the beaten path maintained a 4.7-star customer rating. We started with daily in-house baked rolls and the arugula and calamari salads. The salads and dressings were so good that we really needed the rolls to sop up the remaining dressing – Yum! I had their famous Linguine Mare Nero and my wife had the Tilapia alla Vongole w/butter and sage Capellini and we loved every bit of each. So tasty! So, we topped it off with a shared Tiramisu. So now we know their secret: EXCELLENT service (thanks Alfredo and team!) and attention to whatever your table may need along with perfectly prepared and seasoned classic recipes that are so hard to find. We came away from a memorable meal feeling very happy with our choice of Il Pastaio. This is truly great tasting Italian food. Highly recommend!

I’m so happy to discover this gem of a restaurant! The food is fresh and excellent, pasta cooked perfectly, and the eggplant Parmesan is the best I’ve had in Colorado. This is a family owned business and has been here for 25 years – don’t hesitate just go! But make reservations – it’s small and bustling and was full of happy diners!

The staff are so friendly and fun. The atmosphere is cozy and quaint. The food is unbelievably good. Eating here has the same vibe as curling up in a cozy blanket at your grandmas, when you were kid, while you waited for dinner to be ready. I came here after a long, hard day at work and I forgot allllllllll about that. An absolute gem of a restaurant that I will be bringing out of town friends and making recommendations for a lot in the future. Book reservations in few days in advance! They are busy, and for good reason

Some of the best Italian food I’ve ever tasted. We sampled the gnocchi with Alfredo pesto sauce, the lamb with polenta and the Papperdelle Paglia e Fieno Portofino, which I highly recommend. All the pastas and sauces are made fresh and the variety is impressive. You’ll most likely meet the owner and his son who make the rounds ensuring you are enjoying your meal.

My husband and I had a great dining experience at the bar. The owners were especially nice and accommodating.
We did not have reservations, but they are usually important. My husband had a delicious fettuccine. I had a half order of spaghetti with 1 meatball. Everything was so tasty. We wish we had room for dessert which was reasonably priced as well. This is the place for homemade Italian food when one is in Boulder. We came all the way from Chicago for this wonderful Italian restaurant.

Excellent food. We went there during lunch hours. Kinda buffet style where you get to pick one of the vegetables, one choice of lasagna and sauce per plate. All the vegetables are very tasty. We only had one choice of vegetarian lasagna on the day we went. However they said we can call them in the morning and find out the menu.
Their food is out of this world. Lasagna was very tasty
Update : April 2025
We went there during our visit to Boulder. Still love their food.

First of all, if it was possible, i would give them 10 stars. 🙂
My husband and I went there on Valentines day. They had only one menu option. It started with salad. Then, we had an option to choose between lamb, fish, and vegetarian option. My husband and I are Muslim. We can only consume halal meat and cannot consume alcohol. We went there by assuming we can only eat vegetarian option.
Then, the cook came to us and my husband wanted to give it a try to ask if lamb is halal. And the cook said yes. But then, she said that there is wine in its sauce. And because sauce is already prepared, there is nothing to do with sauce. And she offered us only meat without the sauce. We said yes to that. Then, she came after some time with kindness saying “great news, we will do new sauce without wine for you guys”
This was such a great accommodation for us. This made our night literally. Not eating lamb but feeling that there are amazing people out there caring about other cultures, religions, and differences thank you!
I am not saying that they have halal food or they can do halal food for you. What I am saying is that their cook is such an amazing and welcoming lady. It was so nice to meet her!

All the pastas and proteins I’ve had here are fantastic but I particularly love the chicken parm and the pesto gnocchi. I would steer away from some less popular items like their salad though, the one with squid and endives was oily and kind of fishy.
Service is super friendly and kind. Lovely local place that I return to time and time again.

This is a great place for Italian food. Cooked perfectly, great price. I went for lunch a couple weeks ago and it’s more buffet style. They make fresh pasta and sell it for a great price as well – really great for pick up.
Cute atmosphere and very friendly staff.
