Reviews for II Pastaio Ristorante in Boulder, CO
Great little family run spot. Not a big menu (which is always a good sign!). Something was missing with the "wow" factor which... is the only slight drawback. Service was great, however and I'd still highly recommend it. Updated the image of the menu as youcan see, the prices have increased since their last posted. Read more
We did not have to wait for a table. We had the imported Buffalo cheese on bread with tomatoes and basil for an appetizer. It... was delicious. I wanted ravioli and the waiter suggested goat cheese ravioli with pesto sauce. It was amazing. The owner cameand checked on us many times which was nice. It was delicious! Read more
Highly recommended if you are looking for FRESH pasta! It tastes great, very authentic, the owners are super friendly.
The staff is amazing and very friendly. I had never been here before but I will definitely come back next time I am in Boulder.... I ordered the Pollo Parmigiana and did gnocchi instead of the regular pasta and it was fantastic. The sauce has amazing flavorand the gnocchi were the best i have ever had. Everything tasted homemade and was super fresh. The chicken was amazing as well,it was pounded thin but not to thin and had cheese and sauce on top and had the perfect crispness to the breading. My newfavorite Italian restaurant hands down Read more
Every review is a reference of your experience elsewhere. No-doubt this is the best I have had in Denver metro so far. They know... how to run a restaurant and have exceptional marketing tactics. The FOMO of not being able to eat on weekends and limitedseating, along with superb taste gives them an edge. Not to forget the daily draw of wine (you put your name and number/email,and they?ll have a draw from a fish bowl). ??Taste ??Location ??Quantity ??Hospitality ?Availability on weekends Wouldrecommend- Pasta - ??Gnocchi ??Chicken and Mushroom Ravioli ??fettuccine ??rigatoni Sauces- ??Pesto Cream ??Arrabiata (this isgot the perfect kick, it will be slightly spicy) ??Aurora Desserts- ??Tiramisu ??Panna Cota (they are not making it at themoment) ??Chocolate Mousse Read more
Eggplant Parmesan was so oily and way too much sauce?. definitely not worth it. They also charged me $26 instead of the 22 shown... on their menu. Pesto ravioli was also extremely oily? be prepared to be disappointed in the flavor since it?s all SMOTHERED inoil. They also messed up my takeout order and didn?t add Asparagus into the Pesto cream ravioli. Overall 2/10 experience afterpaying $100+ for literally 4 pasta dishes.. would not recommend for now? unless you want overpriced pasta and a plate of greasysadness. Read more
This is a fantastic hidden gem of a restaurant. Everything is cooked with love and you can absolutely taste it. They also sell... delicious take-and-bake foods. We made dinner for 10 with just 2 of the family combos and everyone loved it. The waitstaff isincredibly friendly. Love it. Read more
The staff and environment here is so charming and we have yet to order a dish that is anything less than incredible. We love... coming here and it never fails to put a smile on our face (and induce a happy full of carbs snooze). Read more
