Pastavino translates to pasta & wine, the quintessential Italian experience, drawing inspiration from the traditional trattorias & enotecas throughout Italy. Michelin Star Chef Josh Laurano's menu focuses on modern interpretations of familiar Italian flavors, house made pastas, focaccia & secondi. We pride ourselves on seasonality, using local ingredients, and allowing them to be the soul of the menu - Materia Prima. General Manager John Gorga's beverage program features an exclusively Italian list, with a large selection by the glass, and 150 bottles from all regions. The bar showcases a seasonal craft cocktail list, local beers, and large selection spirits.

    Service was poor. Water took forever to be refilled. Two cappuccinos were never brought yet we were charged. The appetizers were served before our drinks were served. The portions of food were small. There was only one special offered.

    My wife and I visited Pastavino for her birthday. We went on a Tuesday evening. The restaurant is located in a wonderful section on the waterfront with great views of NY harbor. Service was passable with what was a personable and sweet waitress who was new to the service. The dinner began with a shared cheese plate and salad which were top notch. My wife had a lovely pasta dish and I had a swordfish dish. Mine was cardboard. And I wrote a review on another site saying pretty much the same thing. I got what I thought was a wonderful return email from co owner John who apologized and asked if we would give them another chance recognizing that the swordfish dish that nite was not their best effort. He said he was sending a gift card to make our next visit more enjoyable. We got the card and are looking forward to our next visit.

    Not good. Salmon was bad (extremely fishy, restaurant staff admitted something “was off” when we sent it back), all of the pasta dishes were over salted. Staff was not attentive. Their “made in house pasta” was at best boxed pasta they boiled. Do not recommend, will not return.

    Truly a wonderful dining experience. The Holiday decor made it even more magical! Just stunning. The food was absolutely delicious. My husband commented that it was the best fra diavolo he's ever eaten. Caesar salad and fried calamari were also divine. And the service is always so friendly and attentive anytime you go. Pastavino is quickly becoming one of our all time favorites. Highly, highly recommend! We can't wait to return!

    PV is always our first choice of places to dine. The restaurant was very crowded so we had to dine at the bar (which was 2 deep for the majority of the evening). The bar is like being in a bar in Manhattan only with much more personal, knowledgeable and very friendly service. Branzino was delicious as was the pasta special. Try it, you will love it.

    I have changed my review after speaking with John Gorga and will give Pastavino another try. Every restaurant has had a hard time in the last two years and because of Mr. Gorga reaching out to me I felt it was worth giving Pastavino another chance. Thank you for reaching out to me to discuss and I am looking forward to my next visit.

    Always enjoy eating here. The food is very good and the portions are nicely sized - especially the side dishes. They also have a very nice wine list with a range of good affordable bottles. The noise level is pretty overwhelming though - so no problem if you're a party but not for quiet conversation. And of course the views are special.
