" Had a delightful first visit to Osteria del Pastaio. We were there to celebrate a friend's birthday. The service was friendly, but a bit chaotic due to the crowd that night. Still, the cheese wheel pasta stole the show! Definitely an experience we won't forget, along with the fantastic desserts. " (*Curated Review*)

" What an amazing hidden gem! The focus on fresh ingredients was so evident in every dish we ordered. I particularly loved the Caprese salad, and the pasta was homemade. The service was splendid, and the atmosphere was pretty cozy. Definitely will be coming back to try more from the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a lovely spot! We chose the patio for dining, and it was a great choice with the perfect weather. I ordered the Penne Arrabbiata, and it was seasoned perfectly. The only downside was that I had to pay for the bread, which I thought would be complimentary. Overall, a solid experience, and the cheese wheel pasta looked incredible! " (*Curated Review*)

" Great restaurant with such a friendly vibe! We were greeted promptly and seated quickly. The cheese wheel pasta was a true experience but slightly on the pricey side. The dessert selection was fantastic - I would suggest the passionfruit cheesecake. All in all, a great meal, but bring cash to avoid the extra card fees! " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant left an impression on me! The pasta dishes were fresh and vibrant in flavor. The cheese wheel was a beautiful show, and everyone who was seated around us were just as taken by it! Service was good, but could be improved as our table was a bit neglected at times. Great experience overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Osteria del Pastaio was delightful! The atmosphere was inviting and warm, perfect for a cozy dinner. I had the Pecorini Al Tartufo Nero cheese wheel pasta, and it certainly lived up to the hype. The staff was attentive and friendly. For dessert, I highly recommend the passionfruit cheesecake. Will definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved Osteria del Pastaio! The atmosphere was elegant yet warm. I can’t stop thinking about that cheese wheel pasta; it’s a must-have! The only downside was the price, which was a bit steep, but I'd say it's worth every penny for that experience. Can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)
