I went here with my parents, my FIL and SIL for my hubby’s birthday dinner. I am still bummed the location in RO closed.

Ordered a large Italian salad, side Kale Caesar salad, spaghetti primavera, gnocchi Romano, chicken tutto fresco, Langosta lobster scallop special with arrabiata sauce, pumpkin agnolloti mascarpone ravioli. $189.67

The house Italian bread with EVOO and Parmesan cheese is good, even after 3 plates of it.

They don’t have the pizza funghi, as the RO location used to and it was quite good too. Bummer.

We are seated in the back, better for conversations.

The Italian salad is a colorful blend and tastes good. The Caesar is decent.

Arrabiata sauce is good. The lobster and scallops was maybe a bit overcooked, still not bad. Garlic slices are good. Good heat.

The gnocchi is good, soft bites.

Pasta primavera was good, lots of spinach and tomatoes.

The chicken tutto is good. The waiter halved the plate for my FIL and his girlfriend.

The agnotti pumpkin mascarpone ravioli was yummy.

The great outweighed the bad. The house salads were fresh and delicious and the complimentary bread is tasty. The pasta dishes were both delicious. Rigatoni Boscaiola and Pappardelle Bolognese. The Cannoli Cream martini is sinful. The tiramisu was good. The service was adequate. The table was one of three down the middle of the restaurant behind the host stand and next to the bar. We felt very crowded. The servers and other guests had to turn sideways to get past our table. The chairs are super comfy, but those tables are squeezed in too tight of a space. We can’t wait to come back for the delicious food and drinks, but we will sit at the bar next visit.

The seafood pasta was amazing, beef brisket pasta not so much. Just not my type although some reviews here said that it’s the pasta to order. I just find it bland. Soup was good to share as a starter along with the complimentary garlic bread which was amazing to not charge for it. Had a cocktail and a mocktail and those were made perfectly. It was packed when we arrived on a weekday dinner but they made sure to still sit us at the bar. Ambience was good. It was very chill and good to hangout and unwind after a busy day

The design of the restaurant is modern with hardly any soft surfaces

So beware if you have hearing issues, I also wouldn’t recommend this to new couples, as it is tough to carry a conversation

Our server Kevin was pleasant and respectful he even gave us the history of chicken piccata that was a nice touch

The ravioli, kale Caesar, and garlic bread are fantastic

What a fun spot!

Prepare to eat til there is no room
Left.

Mouth-watering homemade pasta, delicious kale Caesar salad, chicken Marsala and more. Go early to avoid crowds and noise. Our server, Jacob, was terrific.

I came for my birthday dinner with my family because I had heard good things about Pastaio. We had a reservation for 5:45 and were seated right away. We ordered wine, beer and appetizers. Five minutes later the server wanted our entree order. We got our drinks and appetizers and immediately they brought the meals before the table was clear so we had to stack all of our plates for her.

By 6:25 we were completely done eating. They never returned to see if we wanted more wine or to see how the meal was. After ordering the entrees I didn’t see the waitress again until we were handed the bill. We had a $200 meal and it was over within 45 minutes. We would have ordered more drinks and even a dessert since it was my birthday but they were in a rush for us to be gone.

We then sat for 20 minutes with an empty table waiting to pay our bill. The food was mediocre. We will definitely not be back.

Pastaio is a wonderful addition to the Grosse Pointe dining scene. The space feels warm, inviting, and thoughtfully designed—perfect for a relaxed night out that still feels a little special. The food was delicious, with so many great options that make it hard to choose just one favorite. Everything we ordered was beautifully prepared and full of flavor.

I also loved seeing a well-thought-out mocktail menu. It’s such a nice touch and something that feels very current and inclusive—whether you’re not drinking that night or just want something fun and intentional beyond water or soda.

One of my favorite features of the space is the semi-private area in the back. It’s ideal for hosting—intimate enough to feel special, but still connected to the energy of the restaurant. You can tell this is a place designed with gathering in mind, which I always appreciate.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Pastaio! Our waiter was very attentive and the bread was a nice starter. We had the Broccoli Rabe and Chicken Piccata! Both dishes were flavorful and well balanced. We had the Tiramisu for desert! I would highly recommend Pastaio to anyone.

The 1st time I went was amazing. 2nd time, not so much… same table, same staff, same order. The bread still awesome, gnocchi top-notch, but the eggplant in the rollatini was breaded & fried this time & like rubber. Seriously could not cut with the butter knife. Also, I had to take lid off toilet & bend rod so that it would flush. All that said, I would try again, order differently & use the other stall.

Extremely disappointed with the service here. First time and probably last time.

We had a 4:45 PM reservation for a group of six, and it took ~90 minutes for our main courses to hit the table. Our server completely avoided us, never apologized for the wait, and our appetizers never even showed up. I asked for a manager, but they never came to the table.

We nearly missed our show at the War Memorial because of the lack of communication from the server. Did he forget to enter our order? We will never know.

Incredibly unprofessional.
