" Wow! What an experience! Pastaio is definitely one of those places you want to keep going back to. Each dish we ordered—from the burrata to the homemade pasta—was absolutely incredible. The flavors were authentic, and I appreciate that they focus on high-quality ingredients. Our server, Jade, was phenomenal and made us feel right at home. Don't miss out on their desserts; they are just as good as the main courses! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a birthday dinner here and it was wonderful! The service staff went above and beyond to accommodate our large party. The pasta was delicious, and I especially loved the pesto! The atmosphere was festive—perfect for celebrations. However, they didn’t seem prepared for our big group so it took a while to get everything, but other than that, it was great! " (*Curated Review*)

" They have done a great job with everything! The food is authentic and absolutely delicious. I had the rigatoni with vodka sauce and it was the best I ever had. The restaurant has a great vibe, and it feels like you are in an authentic Italian eatery. I will definitely return to try more items from the menu, especially after the amazing service we received from our waitress. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Pastaio with a group of friends, and we had a fun evening. The rooftop area was nice and quiet. I ordered the short rib ragu and while it was tasty, I was a little disappointed with the portion size. Overall, it was a positive experience. The staff were attentive and checked in on us regularly. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, super impressed! I came in on a Saturday evening and it was bustling. The atmosphere felt vibrant, and I loved that you could see the chefs preparing the food. I ordered their seafood special, which was delightful. My only critique would be that the wait for food felt a bit long because it was so busy. Worth the wait, though! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Pastaio during dinner with a friend and absolutely loved the ambiance. Super chic yet comfortable! The carbonara was good, not the best I've ever had, but still very satisfying. Our server went out of her way to make sure we were happy, which I really appreciated. Overall, I had a great experience and would recommend giving it a shot. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a wonderful dinner at Pastaio! The seafood linguine was packed with flavor and the pasta was perfectly cooked! The service was friendly, and the wait was reasonable, especially during a busy evening. The vibe is cozy and lively, making it a great spot for a night out. I will definitely be back to try other items on the menu. " (*Curated Review*)
