Reviews for La Pastaria in Summit, NJ

The more you go, the more you realize that this can be your go-to spot. Not pretentious at all. But definitely not just a hole... in the wall. The food-excellent, the service-very good, the only thing I would like to see improved are the bathrooms. Read more

We've been on the lookout for a local Italian place since we moved in a couple years ago and somehow only came across La... Pastaria tonight. I think it's safe to say our search is over as we had a great meal delivered to our door this evening. Firstoff, the amount of food you get for like price is pretty outstanding. Rare these days, honestly. For $75 we got 2 large salads(a meal in and of themselves), 3 antipasto (zuppa di mussels pomodoro, risotto balls, grilled vegetables) and a large fettuccinealfredo. The fettuccine was enough for both myself and my husband, plus we had enough leftover for another full serving. Thealfredo sauce was simple, exactly as it should be. The mussels were cooked amazingly well, especially considering we had themeal delivered. The broth was perfect and we were thrilled to have been given bread to soak it up with. Only downside wasgetting 3 unopened mussels, but it kinda goes with the territory. Oh, and the muscles were the biggest I've ever seen. Therisotto balls were good, and though I prefer mine to be crisp, these came covered in marinara. I should have asked for it on theside but it really wasn't a big deal. The grilled veg was good as well, decent char, though somewhat plain. It would have beennice if it was served with some fresh mozzarella, but I enjoyed eating it with the alfredo. I'm saving the salads for my lunchfor the next couple days, but they each look amazing. Overall, we were really impressed with La Pastaria and truly appreciatehaving a good Italian meal delivered to our door on a Sunday evening. Life with a newborn prevents me from being in the kitchenas much as usual, and this meal hit the spot for us. Many thanks, we look forward to dining in person soon. Read more

BYOB restaurant with outdoor seating. Traditional Italian food with heavy sauces. The food here tasted great but my chicken was... over cooked and stringy. Service was good too. Read more

This is my go to restaurant for Rigatoni with vodka sauce! The sauce has an amazing flavor with just a hint of heat. I love it... so much that I haven’t tried any other dish here! Love this place! Read more

We hosted my sister’s baby shower at La Pastaria in Summit. It was flawless! The food was AMAZING (bread was OMG good!), and... Tatiana was extremely friendly, helpful, and accommodating. We didn’t know we had a gluten free guest, and Tatiana was able toaccommodate so quickly for her. Service was quick and friendly. I loved every second of working with them. We would 110% comeback!!
