  • Neighborhood gem
  • Great for brunch
  • Good for business meals
This new Italian eatery features a casual homey décor and cozy setting that sits 75 and is located in Union Square in Manhattan. The name Pasta Eater is a straight forward recall to the fact that the restaurant strictly serves authentic Italian, freshly-made pasta on the spot or to-go, as well as other genuine products such as focaccia, salads and earth and sea antipasti all made fresh on the premises. The drink menu offers wines from Italy, a full cocktail bar, as well as imported beers.

Pasta Eater is owned and headed by Chef Giusto Priola. Giusto started his career as a restaurateur with the opening of the wildly successful “Cacio e Pepe”, he was the first to bring the renowned Cacio e Pepe pasta to the NYC tables. The restaurant is located in the heart of Union Square and its secret weapon is its all-freshly-made pasta menu: a pasta maker will be continuously rolling their pin throughout the day in front of the restaurant’s guests.

    Overall, the food was very good: the pasta special, and the arancini and desserts were great. The ravioli with ground veal was over ground and tasted like pate!! Service was very poor, we had to ask for water multiple times on a day that was near 100 degrees all day. Waited over 10 min for plates to be cleared. just did not seem interested in serving us, overall with better service and the one meal I would give this a higher rating.

    It was everything we hoped it would be- pasta guise was extraordinary along with the roasted pear salad! The Barolo and the mini cannolis were delicious. Hope to be back soon!

    I haven’t been to Pasta Eater in a long time and I’m so happy we went back. I think it’s better than ever. The restaurant was properly air conditioned during a NY heatwave. The cocktail menu has some nice choices. I had the Blueberry Mojito and it was delicious and refreshing. The parmigiana di melanzana was so flavorful. We ordered 2 pasta dishes, the Casoncelli (veal ravioli with speck and guanciale in a sage and butter sauce) was amazing and my personal favorite was Mafaldina Nera with pesto and clams, I never wanted it to end. The octopus salad was cooked perfectly, so tender. Giovanni was our server, very accommodating and friendly. The entire staff was great. Giusto, you have a wonderful restaurant!!!
