❤️💝🌹Perfect Valentine's Dinner at Pastaria. Loved sitting at the counter overlooking the open kitchen watching the staff make their magic. Cole, our waiter was really nice and helpful with making choices. Ruby was also super sweet. Love the atmosphere and vibe, and even though there is "noise" we had no problem hearing each other and having a good conversation. The food was amazing! I was pleased to have the pasta perfectly al dente, which other places never seem to get right. Next time we will have to try their pizza as it appears it is made in a wood fire oven and looked delicious. We will be back again SOON! 😘

We have been coming to Pastaria for years, addicted to the Cacio e Pepe, warm ambiance, and tasty everything. When my husband and I got married, we realized there was nowhere else we would rather take all our family and friends for a wedding dinner. Madi and the team could not have been more hospitable, welcoming, and organized. The food was as delicious when serving 100 people as just the two of us on a date. The team allowed us to pick and choose all our favorite dishes, rearrange the tables, and were extremely accommodating of super specific dietary restrictions, special drink requests, and handled the inevitable chaos that accompanies all weddings with grace. Granted, we likely had a little bit more -- there was a tornado in Clayton the day of our event (!), but Madi and team were so

Dog-friendly patio and excellent service. We brought our pup and were seated outside right away. Our server was wonderful—warm, attentive, and impressively fast. The arancini arrived hot and creamy with bright sauces, the wood-fired pizza had a tender, blistered crust with a cloud of fresh cheese, and the layered pasta was rich and comforting without being heavy. Relaxed vibe, fair prices, and staff who genuinely seem happy you’re there (pup included). Five stars. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I had the best experience and it was all thanks to our amazing server, Kiersten. She was quick, funny, and incredibly personable from the moment we sat down. There was a little mix-up with our order, and she noticed it right away and fixed it immediately, pure professionalism. The mushroom pizza was phenomenal. One of the best pizzas I’ve had in a long time. The Old Fashioned was fantastic. Must try the maple pecan gelato! Risotto balls - chefs kiss! Kiersten, along with the fantastic food and drinks, has officially made me a return customer. She’s hands-down one of the best servers I’ve ever had. If you go, definitely request her!
