Pastalini

We stumbled upon Pastalini during our kitchen remodel, and let me tell you, it's become our absolute favorite go-to spot for a reason! It's our little ritual now: tackle the tedious kitchen design choices, then reward ourselves with a wonderfully relaxing and delicious date dinner. This place truly is a special find. The pasta at Pastalini? It’s simply exquisite and takes me right back to my childhood, reminiscent of those beloved local Italian restaurants from my New York days. You know, the kind of place where the food just feels like a hug. And the best part? It's incredibly affordable without ever compromising on quality – truly amazing food that won't break the bank. But what truly elevates Pastalini to the top of my list is the phenomenal staff. They are consistently friendly, incredibly helpful, and genuinely fun. As someone with dietary needs, I was particularly thrilled by how extremely gluten-conscious they are; it makes dining out such a breeze and a joy. They make you feel so welcomed, almost like part of their own family. It’s that kind of personal touch that makes a place truly shine, don't you think? Now, let's talk about the ambiance. While the decor might not win any awards for modern design, honestly, in this case, I'm absolutely willing to overlook it. The warmth of the staff and the sheer deliciousness of the food create such a wonderful atmosphere that even for a romantic date, it works perfectly. Plus, their unique bar-style setup is fantastic! It's like those build-your-own bowl places where you see all the fresh ingredients and customize your craving right in front of you, but with pasta! It’s a truly engaging and delightful way to dine. You simply have to try Pastalini!

They do have some gluten-free options and try to accommodate you as much as possible too bad the white sauce has wheat in it.
