Pastai, New York NY

I really wanted to get there, but at the door I was told in a very rude manner that they are “kind of open but still need to set up everything”

Pastai is Chelsea's best kept secret. The food is authentic, beautifully served and Extraordinary. Shush. I love that I can still get a table when I want a terrific dinner.

We were excited, don't know if the food is any good, we were rejected at the door an hour before the advertised closing time.

A romantic vibe, excellent food, great service and good prices. Good vegetarian options. Pasta with coliflower my recommendation

Buonissimo! The pasta was extraterrestrial, every appetizer tasted magnificent, and all of the drinks were perfect. Very cute atmosphere and great service!

Obsessed with the bucatini in cauliflower saffron ragu! And their complimentary bread was amazing! Soft but chewy and a little crispy from the grill.

Pastai is the cutest neighborhood spot for Italian food. Service is above and beyond. Food is very yummy. Tons of gluten free options. This was our second time here—will be returning soon!

Pastai incredible food, they prepare one of the best sangria. The prosciutto it’s perfect. It’s a good place to have a date or go with friends, also the staff are so friendly and attentive.

WOW! This restaurant is small, quaint, cozy, Italian grandmas kitchen extravaganza. After making a last minute reservation for valentines day I was weary because of the lack of reviews. Nonetheless this place exceeded my expectations in every aspect. We were seated immediately at our reservation time and staff gave us the perfect amount of time to look at the menu before asking us what we wanted. After ordering drinks, apps, and entre's at the same time we were ready to feast.first we were presented with an amazing bread app. Unfortunately they were out of the wine that we ordered, but the waiter, who was also the bartender (amazing) recommended us another bottle that was delicious for the same price. We order the prosciutto panini as well as the spaghetti carbonara and reginette al ragu and everything was amazing. The staff was attentive but not overbearing and the atmosphere was excellent. 10/10 would recommend and will for sure be back.

Stumbled into this place on a quiet weekend after Thanksgiving, during Covid. Hope they make it through, because I’ll be coming back!

Everything we had was delicious, and the vibe is unpretentious and easy-going. Highly recommended!

The food here is outstanding, this is my go to Italian spot before and during quarantine. I have ordered the Carbonara multiple times as well as the Garganelli with Burrata.

Love it here. Cozy, neighborhood place, excellent fresh pasta and delicious wine. Beautiful atmosphere, great service. They don't rush you. Perfect portions. Highly recommend!

Pasta was amazing. Salad was fresh and tasty. They have a nice ambience. Definitely will be back when we visit NYC next.
