"How could anyone give Il Pastaficio anything less than 5 stars?! From the moment I stepped inside, I felt right at home. The place is clean, cozy, and incredibly inviting. Federico, the owner, is incredibly friendly, and we also had the pleasure of meeting Nicolò, the chef, and Roberta, the store manager. The food is truly delightful and authentically Italian. The dish of the day—pumpkin potato ravioli with ragù—was absolutely delicious! In fact, we enjoyed everything we tasted: the pesto fusilli, lasagna, salad, focaccia (outstanding), and the selection of cured meats and cheeses. And I can't forget one of my favorite desserts that's hard to find in the States: salame al cioccolato. It was so incredibly tasty! Now that I’m back in New York, I can’t wait to visit Il Pastaficio again and share it with my friends."
