Danilo's Pasta Bar

"I wanted to love this place. We came around the time it opened after Camille left the spot. I looooove pasta, so I was excited to try this place. The presentation was gorgeously executed. However, the taste fell flat. My pasta had way too much lemon in. It was so sour it was hard to eat. My husband’s was so bland, I just felt like there was zero seasoning. It was weird because the dishes were so pretty. But it just wasn’t very tasty, sorry to say."

"Count me in as a fan of Danilo’s Pasta Bar. We thoroughly enjoyed our recent evening, starting off with craft cocktails, then moving on to the 8 courses on the tasting menu, among them the Japanese sweet potato and ciabatta, polenta with shrimp and Andouille sausage, squash scampi, and Wagu Bolognese. Chef Danilo Tangalin and his gastronomic associates, including Sofia who served us, were extremely warm and welcoming. This is a sublime experience at an unassuming venue that is not to be missed. And contrary to some reviews I’ve seen, you do not feel rushed. I would come back here again and again, both for dinner and for drinks at Neighbors, looking out the giant windows at the world passing by."

"It was a little cold in there tonight, but nothing a good cocktail won't help to stimulate that temperature. First time trying the new concept at the neighbors' test kitchen. We may have been a little full for a Monday night, but we'll worth all the yummy flavors. We opted for the caviar supplement to the tasting menu. Why not! We said. And we only ordered one and shared which the server having no qualms about, and thankfully so, or we would've passed on that little opportunity. You can also sit off the bar seating and enjoy items a la carte. Good luck to Danilo.... chef de cuisine...."

"Absolutely phenomenal. We tried the chefs menu and were blown away by the food. We had an 8 course meal with some dishes familiar to us while others were brand new to us. Our party consisted of one Italian and 3 Filipinos. The Italian Filipino was expertly crafted and never felt forced. Were were full halfway through the tasting but we continued to eat because the food was so good. We will absolutely be back."

"Seriously can't wait to come back again. This was such a sweet experience. Every dish was so precisely made, and just incredibly delicious. I can't even find rhe word to describe his dishes. From the start of the course....a small shot of the warm, coconut based soup...through the dessert course, every dish was such an experience. I loved the seasonal dish with the grains but the two pasta dishes were definitely the highlight and perfection. Michelin level dishes was all I could think throughout the tasting menu experience. This chef and his team are on point. The staff is incredibly friendly an they all work hard to make the experience. Chef Danilo also took a moment to stop to chat with all customers while we were there. Thanks to the team for a great night out. Can't wait to see what Chef does next! This was truly a gem. Will be back soon."
