Pastaio Handmade Pasta & Pizza | Royal Oak 208 West 5th Street, Royal Oak, MI 48067

"I love this place when im there which is why im giving it 3 stars. I ordered takeout and granted things are gonna look and taste a little different but y’all should be embarrassed sending this out of your kitchen for human consumption. Pasta overcooked, sauce where? And the essence of veal pork and beef? Do better."

"First time experiencing this restaurant but I was extremely impressed from start-to-finish. Jade was our server and made us feel at home. I found there to be so many things I wanted on the menu and the pasta was a chef’s kiss. I will definitely be back!"

"Good food. Good service. Prices are a little high in my opinion. Italian restaurants are common so they need to be exceptional to stick out. Pastaio seems to be newer and still needs to grow up some. Once they work out the rough edges, it may be with it."

"Lobster Langusto special was good, not sure if $50 good though. Bread was great. Be warned: They charge something around 4% extra for using a credit card. Music is loud and makes conversation challenging."

"Where is the happiest place on earth, no it's not Disneyland, it's Pastaio in Royal Oak. That is the feeling we get when we interact with the staff. There is magic in the air, I don't know how management has gathered the finest employees in one location, but they did and that is what makes it a joy to have dinner here. Yesterday we came to celebrate two birthdays with 6 people. We ordered the lasagna as usual that they upgraded recently WOW it is the best we have ever had and I'm Italian. All of our guests loved the entire evening and fantastic service. One very fussy person ordered the seafood special and loved it. Please order dessert here all made on site even the whipped cream. The Manager Ryan is always over looking everything going on. I even had the pleasure of meeting the owner. This is not a large chain restaurant that does not care about anything but money. Pastaio cares about its customers and staff, and it shows."
