Pastai Restaurant 186 9th Avenue, Manhattan, New York 10011

"This one of those understated, cozy, restaurants that really try to perfect their craft. Had dinner here and the pasta was excellent. Loved the regginette, fried artichokes, and arugula salad, and flourless chocolate cake. One of the best Italian meals I've had in a while. And they offered gluten free options!!"

"Great little Italian spot in Chelsea with a neighborhood feel. Service was perfect and the food was delicious. Got the winter caponata and the butternut squash to start and it was the perfect autumn appetizer as we were there Nov. 8th. For entrees we got the Paccheri alla Genovese and the halibut from the specials menu, which were both spectacular. The grass fed flank steak ragu in the Paccheri was amazing. Halibut cooked perfectly. Also got some salted cheesecake balls for dessert which were great with the strawberry compote. Would definitely come back here when we're next in town."

"This restaurant is so cute! It’s very neighborhoody and cozy and it’s a great option for a date night! Their pasta is amazing and they have a good wine selection too. We went there around 8pm on a Friday and we had a reservation, which I recommend cuz the place was at capacity (there might have been one or two other open tables). I highly recommend this spot if you live in Chelsea"

"This is one of our favorite neighborhood restaurants in Chelsea. The specials are always fresh and amazing. The service is on point and the decor is charming. We feel like we left the streets of NYC and slipped into an Italian bistro."
