They were short staffed tonight and trying to keep up with large parties. The food was delicious and overall a great experience. Not a place to go with little ones after 6 as there may be a wait. We definitely will be back.

The food was very good, nice italian flavor but some of the dishes on the menu were a little too rich in salt and calories for my diet. I stuck with the tomato sauces which I recommend. A glass for red or white wine enhances the food. I recommend PastAmore.

Excellent. Pasta dishes were terrific. Cream of tomato soup with spinach and chicken was a standout. Great drinks and wonderful desserts-chocolate fondant and cannoli. And thanks to our server, Samantha. Well done.

The raviolis and the sauce were excellent. I was a bit disappointed in the sausages, the meatballs were okay. I've had the veal there before and that is outstanding. What made the dining more enjoyable was our waitress, Jamielee. She was attentive, knowledgeable, and extremely friendly and pleasant. When I go back I will definitely ask for her to be our server.

3rd time here in 2 months. The food is good, never had a bad bite. The sangria pitcher is a great value. Service can be a bit slow at times but not terrible. Once the food order goes in, it comes out pretty quick. Bread service is standard here which is very old school and much appreciated.

Enjoyed a warm and cozy meal with friends along with a nice Chianti. The place has good vibes, terrific food, and lovely servers/service. Roll down the window as you enter their parking lot and smell the cooking and then get yourself in there.

Took forever to get our order. Patrons came in after us, ordered appetizers and got them and later their entrees long after we had ordered. Waitress too busy being the focus of all attention in the restaurant. Food was fair, Chicken Parm (very good), and Spaghetti Carbonara (fair-have had much better). No water refills, no checking on how our food was (till after we were done eating). I ordered a Chicken Parm to go, we're just reaching.our car in the pouring rain, when another waitress came running out, stopping us and saying we were given the wrong order. YEP, Eggplant Parm was for someone else. She came out 5 minutes later with my order. Needless to say, we were very unhappy with the service. Will not be going back.

Not the best experience last night. The pasta carbonara was swimming in oil. When I asked the waitress if I could get it drained she gave me a look and said “that’s just how carbonara is.” Pretty sure it’s not. Overall 1/5 stars. The probably not going back.

Every time I go to PastAmore the experience is wonderful. The food is always delicious, service is great, and the environment is warm and welcoming. They also provide a variety of cocktails and a nice wine selection. The tiramisu is my favorite dessert on the menu. If you want good Italian in the Nashua area, go to PastAmore!

The food was very good, as expected (this was not our first time here). Nice selection of meat and fish dishes. The ambience was spoiled because of the very high noise level, probably due to multiple birthday celebrations. The parking is very restricted and an adjoining lot has to be used when busy, around dinner hours. Despite these issues, I recommend this restaurant!

We love this place! The food and service are always great. It was quite noisy this time - so much that we were unable to have a conversation. It was unusual for it to be that loud. But it was Saturday night and folks were anxious to not cook in our hot weather streak. It also appeared that their air conditioning was not working - it was extremely warm which did not allow us to linger over our lovely cocktails before ordering or encourage us to have coffee and dessert l. Hope they get this worked out.

Has improved quite a bit since previous experience/ review. Very nice selection of food, which was delicious and served well. Portions have improved. Restaurant was mostly empty so the noise was low. Wine list is limited, but generally includes one wine of each major category, and these are at very reasonable prices. What bugs me though is when ordering wine the bottle comes to the table already uncorked.

We've been enjoying Pastamore for years. We love everything about it. The wait staff is excellent. Our most recent visit was as good as any. Very nice wine selection at very reasonable prices. Some of our favorite entrees are the bolognese sauce with any pasta, the four cheese raviolis, eggplant parmigiana. We had a pistachio cheesecake that was very delicious. Plus they made us some very nice espresso martinis. This is one of our favorite restaurants in Southern New Hampshire.

Another great meal at PastAmore. The Mediterranean shrimp special with kalamata olives, feta, basil and tomato over linguine was flavorful and the shrimp were cooked to perfection. The lobster ravioli had a generous amount of filling and big pieces of lobster and shrimp in the sauce. While we started with the bruschetta, and it was a huge portion for an appetizer, our fav is still the zucchini! Anna always makes us feel at home and never rushed. If you haven't tried PastAmore yet, do!

Waitress was not very attentive and had tables on the complete opposite side of restaurant. A food server came out with a plate in one hand and a baby in the other. Didn't find that to be appetizing. Maybe health code violation. Very loud in there and the food was ok, not mind-blowing. Maybe a couple would fair better than a family sizes party, maybe a weeknight is better? Not sure we'll be returning.

Our second visit, but not our last! Food is fresh and flavorful. Portions are perfect. Service is friendly and not rushed. Fried zucchini is crispy, light and has just the right amount of salt. The Shrimp Portofino is my favorite so far: shrimp are cooked to perfection and the sauce is balanced and light. Feta, garlic, tomato and spinach are made for each other! Zuppa di Pesce is also excellent. The seafood is fresh, tender and cooked beautifully and the sauce is garlicky with a spicy pepper kick that's not overwhelming. Other dishes we tried: lasagna and ravioli - fresh, nice fillings that are well seasoned, sauces are light with deep flavor. Great wine list. Fun cocktails. Anna took great care of our table and made us feel right at home! Definitely will be back.
