It was an amazing experience. We got a baby friendly space which allowed us to keep our buggy. The restaurant has a good number of vegan and vegetarian options to choose from for mains as well as dessert. Service was pretty good and fast and the ambience was good too. It would be better to have a booking as the place is normally packed with a waiting time of 30 min minutes or more. Overall, would love to visit again and enjoy their food. Really really loved the agio olio
This place is super stylish! The tiramisu and pasta are both amazing — really tasty and perfectly chewy. The staff are super friendly too. Totally recommend!
We stopped by quickly just to have a plate of pasta. At first, the service was more than perfect, with waiters who went out of their way to please us. They were truly helpful. We chose the lemon and parmesan spaghetti, and it was INCREDIBLE. I highly recommend this dish. Thank you for the warm welcome, the peaceful atmosphere, and the quality of the food.
Amazing service!!! Got a few pastas and they were phenomenal. Loved the whole vibe on this busy street and couldn’t recommend this place more.
My friend and I went last week and had such a lovely time! The red prawn pasta was yummy. The prawns were so well cooked and had an amazing flavour. One of our waiters made our evening as he helped with the recommendations! He was so helpful and cool. Wish we got his name for the review. The tiramisu was one of the best I’ve had. Would definitely come back for the amazing service and good food.
Stumbled across this for a quick lunch and it was delicious. Service was really good, staff were really friendly, food arrived quickly and the menu has some many delicious options! The red prawn paccheri was our favourite dish! Nice selection of wine with carafe option!
I have always wanted to visit Pastaio based on TikTok recommendations and I was not disappointed. I came with my two friends and we left feeling satisfied. The atmosphere was effortlessly stylish with a warm welcoming vibe which made me feel at ease. I have to give a big shout out to Polly and Lyric who showed us exceptional service. They were both attentive, knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about what they do. They went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect!! Now let’s talk about the food. I ordered the lobster linguine (which they saved for me as I requested it when booking online). The pasta was cooked to perfection and the lobster was so tender. I will definitely say it was money well spent. This restaurant delivered on every level and myself and girls will be back to try out more dishes on their menu!!
Top top pasta place this is! Now I see why it's all over the social media - the pasta linguine was worth every penny and can't go wrong with the alcoholic slushies too! Was really nice to have and shout-out to the young waiter who served us, forgot his name but he's 22 and does his job very well! Definitely will be back again no doubt, 100/100
