    Pasta Lovers Trattoria is a nice looking restaurant, great location and the right amount of quiet just off the hustle and bustle of Broadway and Times Square on 49 W St. Our server was a little stand-off but he was attentive. The food was nice, but there are better Italian’s around this location, namely Tony’s a few streets further south. Overall we enjoyed our meal, the fried ravioli starter was fantastic but our mains were a little average for the price. Overall I’d recommend but it was nothing special.

    Came across this restaurant on Open Table because I was able to get last minute reservations. We are definitely happy with this hidden gem. Food was delicious, wonderful menu, service outstanding., portions plentiful (delicious chicken parm that we took 1/2 home). It is now on our list for future visits into the city .

    For a busy restaurant in the Times Square area, the service was excellent and staff were quite nice even though they were working hard. Not too closely packed especially for Times Square so not too noisy. Food was very good as well.

    This is a MUST if you're anywhere near Times Square. Situated across from the Hard Rock Hotel on 49th, so an easy find. You will NOT be disappointed. From their spaghetti bolognese to their famous Pasta Lovers dish, your taste buds will sing, roll over in utter amazement, and thank you while falling in love with each bite. Caution. All dishes are large portions. Suggest sharing. We did family style so we could taste more dishes. Their fried mozzarella, yes. Their pizza was good & light. However, their pasta dishes had us coming back. Of course there's always Little Italy also. But this is a Big Italy, also real Italian owned and family recipes right in the heart. As I said, it's a MUST.

    The food was pretty good. The problem, the whole place smelled like cleaning solution. Maybe they overdid it when mopping...someone should pay attention to that. The service was mediocre at best.

    Pasta Lovers was very welcoming, very accommodating, very professional. We went yesterday, October 15th, before going to Radio City Music Hall, which is just around the corner. We had a wonderful time! The service was terrific and not intrusive. We each enjoyed our selections. We recommend it. Thank you!

    I made a reservation for 1 person, but when I arrived, I was greeted by a friendly bartender, so I decided to just eat at the bar. Service, food and ambiance was terrific and exactly what I was looking for to dine by myself. I had the Lasagna Bolognese, and it was delicious. Would recommend this restaurant to anyone dining on their own. JJ

    Our Rigatoni Bolognese and Penne a la Vodka were magnificent. Service was very attentive. Food was served quickly and piping hot. I've been coming to Pasta Lovers for thirty plus years (starting at their original location on 58th Street), but their prices have gone up significantly.

    Pasta Lovers is a ‘go to’ spot for us when seeing a Broadway show. Todays experience was exceptional. We had a lot of time to kill and our waiter, Alejandro was fantastic. We weren’t rushed, we were able to have our drink and relax a bit. The food is always delicious (chicken parm is top notch). Highly recommend

    Give it a miss!!!! We had a really poor experience at this restaurant and would definitely not recommend it. In fairness they wavered the bill and did apologise but we were left hungry having to find somewhere else to eat. This is one of those establishments that churns out very poor food at high prices for tourists and doesn’t care about the quality or seeing you again. The food we did eat was tasteless and poor, we returned our mains as not what we ordered and was less than mediocre. The waiter tried taking our starters away before we’d even finished eating. Poor on every level. Avoid!!!!
