New York Pasta Garden

Myself and three friends dined at New York Pasta Garden during our spring break trip to Key West in March and absolutely loved it! Our server was Donna and she made our dining experience wonderful. She made us laugh, gave great menu recommendations and was very quick to seat us! The food was excellent, the service was quick and they had lots of gluten free and vegetarian options. The prices were affordable and the portion sizes were huge! I got a glass of their Riesling and it was one of my favorites I’ve ever had. I would certainly recommend this place to anyone looking for good Italian food and a fun dining experience in Key West!

⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 – Cozy, Casual Italian Dining in the Heart of Key West New York Pasta Garden is a great little gem tucked into Duval Square. We loved the relaxed, tropical patio vibe—perfect for a laid-back dinner after a long day exploring Key West. Bonus points for being pet-friendly! The service was warm and attentive from start to finish. Our server was knowledgeable and offered great wine pairing suggestions. The menu is full of classic Italian comfort food—definitely try the penne alla vodka or the seafood lasagna, both rich and flavorful. That said, not every dish was a home run. One of our pasta dishes came out a little overcooked, and the seasoning could’ve been bolder. Still, the portions are generous, and you can tell they put love into the food. They don’t have a separate gluten-free menu, but the staff was accommodating and helped us find some safe options. All in all, New York Pasta Garden offers a friendly, satisfying Italian meal with plenty of charm. We’ll definitely be back the next time we’re in Key West.
