Really amazing staff that truly goes above and beyond! From the moment we walked in, the service was warm, attentive, and thoughtful. The food was incredible, the drinks were perfectly crafted, and the overall atmosphere made it such a great spot for a night out. Highly recommend for dinner and drinks. Can’t wait to come back!

Pasta Eater never disappoints! We had a great evening celebrating our dear friend’s birthday. The food is stellar. The pasta is fresh made and the quality of the ingredients used is very high. Each dish is cooked with love. The staff is super kind, warm, attentive and welcoming. The new menu is great and super tasty. Our guests were so pleased and happy about the quality, texture and taste of every single dish we ordered. We had a great evening at Pasta Eater. A big special thank you to Giusto and Matteo for making our dining experience memorable. We can’t wait to go back. Ancora grazie.

Pasta Eater was such a great choice for our dinner tonight! We decided to split the arancini and penne vodka, which were both so delicious! The attentive staff noticed I wasn’t able to eat much (my stomach had been on the turn all day) and were so kind and generous enough to bring us a little plate of cannoli as something light I could enjoy after the meal. Though I couldn’t finish it, it was delicious as well! I will definitely be returning when I’m not fighting my own body until then I’ll be enjoying my leftovers throughly

Very average pasta for the price point. I started with the tuna tartare which was perfectly fine (nothing EXTRAORDINARY) and followed it up with the squid ink pasta with clams. Also, very average. The pesto wasn’t superbly prominent, pasta was under-salted and not al dente, and the clams were just okay. For the price point of $30 a dish, you’re better off going to Rezdora.

The food we got here was DELICIOUS, I got the carbonara rigatoni and the sauce was perfect. Can’t reccomend the food enough… the atmosphere wasn’t exactly what we expected. From the pictures it looks like a pretty quiet sit down restaurant and it is a sit down restaurant but the music was loud for a pretty empty restaurant, as we were there before the dinner rush, and the music was a weird fusion of pop songs and EDM… did not fit the vibe.
Overall 8.6/10 fantastic food, great service, mediocre atmosphere.

Went here for my lunch break from work. The lunch special is relatively affordable with a $16 lunch special. Comes with bread. I had the spaghetti and meet ball. The pasta was pretty fresh we they make it in house. Definitely would come back.

Absolute hidden gem. Alex took amazing care of us. The attention of detail and the quality of the food is the stand out here. Cozy restaurant with a very diverse menu. No choice on the menu is the wrong one. Authentic fresh pasta. Fresh ingredient an absolute way to wow your date or your future father in law.
