    Couldn’t believe this amazing place is basically in the middle of nowhere. So hard to find authentic fine Italians in SF….this place is a complete must. Beautiful setting, perfect ironed dressed tables, but most importantly, impeccably crafted dishes! Delicious homemade pasta made to perfection… It is a real treat this place! Do not hesitate visiting if you really want to enjoy an overall exquisite experience. 5 stars on my end 😉.

    I tried most of the Italian restaurants in South Florida (and not only) and I can't avoid to say that this is really a little hidden gem. A cozy little restaurant 100% italian, delicious food, amazing wines and impeccable service. Our waiter Nicola was unobtrusive but very very attentive, exactly what you expect in a great restaurant, we really appreciate him a lot. I'm looking forward to come back again. Let's go!

    Diamond in the rough! Superb Italian restaurant in an unlikely spot. The very basic shopping plaza is the home of this delicious Italian specializing in Northern Italian food. A great change from the typical dishes found in common Italian restaurants. Excellent service as well. This is definitely a hidden gem. Highly recommended.

    The food was excellent. The flavors are delicately put together to make bold statements. Beautifully presented. The service was fantastic. Chef Luigi, kindly came out to ask about our experience. His crew was on point and very knowledgeable about the food style, wine pairings, etc. This was our first time visiting but certainly not our last. Highly recommended.

    Possibly the best Italian meal I’ve eaten in America. Also, my names Anthony, so pasta is pretty special to me. Don’t get fooled by where it’s located. This is the most authentic food you’ll eat. On top of that he most robust list of Italian wines. Top to bottom this is a magical gem! Hope you’re lucky enough to get some official truffle mushrooms. As they’re impossible to stay in stock.

    As a nearly 5 star rated restaurant, I was expecting a whole heck of a lot more. The walkway is blocked so we had to walk back into the rain to go around the blockade to enter the restaurant. The path was narrow. Handicap access and is it up to fire code? Outside seating area was more pleasant looking than inside. There is a massive mountain of boxes, likely full of wine in the center of the restaurant. We were sat in a corner next to outdated, plain drapes. These two things combined left me wishing for more appropriate decorations. My date quietly pointed to a bottle of wine to purchase, and our waiter audibly mentioned the price as if it was relevant and then up sold him for more expensive bottle. This immediately made us both feel annoyed. Waiter then proceeded to tell us the specials at the restaurant and all of their prices. I cannot remember the last time a waiter has made sure to list the price of each menu item. Uncouth. Crass. The bison appetizer was enjoyable. I had the rabbit ravioli. The pasta was too al dente for my preference, almost crunchy. I also felt that the portion inside of the ravioli was minuscule. I respect that the pasta is made in house. I will not be back. There are other places to try.

    Beautiful nice dining experience, with a nice ambiance. We were greeted by the chef and we thanked him for the delicious tasting pastas. Excellent fine dining restaurant for date night or special occasion or if you are in the mode for pasta. Make sure to make reservations as there seating is very limited. We enjoyed every last bite, no one in our party had complaints. It was a successful outting.

    Update 2020: I have been 3 times during Covid-19 at Pasta and... on Margate. I was saddened to see they had few customers. Their Italian food is amazing. Service is super friendly, they give you a box with sanitized silverware, plates, glasses and a bottle of hand sanitizer. I hope more of you go and visit them, don't let good restaurants die. 2 years ago review: Amazing restaurnatreat good, great ambiance, great service. 5 stars!

    I finally tried PASTA AND! In Margate on West Atlantic. We went early,5:30, they take reservations. It was very quiet but by the time we left around 7:30 they were packed on a Tuesday. It is a fairly small place and they do have seating outside. The service was fantastic and very friendly. Def not your typical basic “American Italian” menu, which I loved. So many amazing choices from polenta dishes, risottos, wild game and all the fresh pastas made there in-house. We started with the burratta Caprese and Polenta with Porcini Mushroom, Poached Egg & Black Truffles to start $22 Both were delicious. Our main courses Pappardelle al Sugo di Cinghiale $26 Classic Wild Boar Sauce. Ravioli di Porcini alla Crema Tartufata $29 Porcini mushrooms Ravioli in a creamy Winter Black Truffle sauce. Branzino all’ Acqua Pazza $36 Fillet of Mediterranean Sea bass, white wine, sea salt, cherry tomatoes, side of asparagus. We finished it off with a piece of Tiramisu to share. Service was great and the food was very good.

    Fresh, authentic pasta and a huge wine selection (over 10,000 bottles stored); what more could you want? Star of the show may have been the risotto with aged parmesan and black truffles. Great atmosphere and no rush to get you out of your seat to sit other guests. That said, make a reservation!!

  • 5/5 Summer B. 4 months ago on Google • 25 reviews
    The best Italian food in South Florida! We love this place. The food is amazing - highly recommend the wild boar ragu and all their pastas. Service is great, Chef Luigi will come check on you to see how you’re enjoying your meal and the waiters Kush and Sam are attentive and fun. They have a great wine selection and cozy, intimidate setting. Don’t be offput by the curb appeal, once you’re inside you’ll feel like you’ve transported to Italy!

    We were actually depressed when we had our last bite of pasta! Amazing little gem, we felt like we were back in Florence. The food was delicious and the service was amazing. Our waiter helped us choose the perfect wine to match to our meals. The beef carpaccio and the truffle ravioli were unforgettable. Dessert was delicious and all for a reasonable price! 5 stars! Make reservations!! But we got lucky and they accommodated us anyway!

    An amazing Italian restaurant! Freshly homemade pasta, sauces and desserts! Don't let outside fool you. In a small shopping strip next to a Papa John's. The cozy romantic ambiance is superb. Nothing beats excellent customer service. They go above and beyond. From our burrata & smoked salmon appetizer to our delicious entrees and our tiramisu we were wowed with each course. Spectacular stuffed ravioli for my wife and I enjoyed the wild boar pasta. The wine pairing was also amazing. Great for a date night Or group dinner. Definitely looking forward to my next dinner at Pasta And...

    BEAUTIFUL experience & I was greated by Gian Marco who says my wait will be 30 mins because I was unaware that they go by reservations. I informed Gian Marco that I would sit in my vehicle & before I knew it we were at our table. Our server was Lui & he was FANTASTIC assisted my wife & I with the menu. Lui has the PERFECT manner for any job & the food was quite DELECTABLE.

    Absolutely the best pasta and risotto I have ever tasted with a high end restaurant experience. It's so indistinct from the outside, but it's an absolute treasure run by a family inside.

    Just wonderful! Reminds me of restaurants we visited while in Italy. Beautiful plates of homemade pasta, excellent wine list, and atmosphere. The staff is knowledgeable about wine and food and will happily share suggestions. If you are visiting during covid, they have made it feel so safe and clean.

  • 5/5 Steve F. 1 year ago on Google
    Pasta And is very cozy, fun with great varieties of Italian food. It's a different experience of Italian cuisine with knowledgeable staff with a great wine options. If you live in the area and want a respectable restaurant to spend some quality time for any reason. This is the place to go, call for a reservation . As for me ,I'll definitely go back.

  • 5/5 Helen N. 11 months ago on Google
    Great authentic Italian restaurant in south Florida. It was a pretty small restaurant that probably sat 50 people max. We reserved a table for later that night and were pretty happy that we did because it was fully booked. I highly recommend making a reservation beforehand. We sat outside and the weather was really nice. The menu was pretty extensive with two sections dedicated to raviolis and risotto. They also had featured dishes for that night. We ordered the scallops for appetizer which was very delicious and fresh, definitely melts in the mouth. There was only 3 scallops though. I ordered the delicious pear raviolis which featured a light cheesy sauce which I recommend.

    This charming, family owned restaurant always surpasses all expectations. Impeccable service, authentic flavors, and a cozy ambiance make it a must-visit. The staff’s knowledge and friendliness, combined with the chef’s mastery of Italian cuisine, make it a truly memorable dining experience. The attention to detail in the food, wine and atmosphere sets this restaurant apart.

  • 5/5 Charles Messa, I. 5 months ago on Google
    Delicious homemade Northern Italian pasta dishes! The most extensive selection of Italian wines with an extremely knowledgeable sommelier!

  • 3/5 Thomas M. 5 months ago on Google
    We never got to eat there. They only take reservations and they fill up quickly. I can’t in good conscience break their food or their service although I would prefer more clarity about the fact that you have to HAVE TO HAVE A RESERVATION. AND THE ONE STAR IS THAT THEY COULDN’T OR WOULDN’T ACCOMMODATE US. In fairness, he did offer us to come from the later sitting. And I have no right to be mad it’s just now I won’t get to eat there because my friends were put off by it.

  • 5/5 Rachel Mufson P. 3 months ago on Google • 6 reviews New
    WOW is all I have to say. I seldom leave google reviews but I have no choice but to come here and say that this is literally one of the best dining experiences I have had! From the location and outside of this restaurant, one would have no idea how much of a gem this restaurant really is. I’ve never received such attentive service before and all the staff members are Italian, making it feel like you’re actually in Piedmont, Italy. My boyfriend and I started with some charcuterie. The best part of it was the prosciutto San Daniele. Then we split sausage ravioli which had such a lovely flavor of warm sage. My entree was the white truffle spaghetti which was rich and earthy in all the best ways. My bf had the boar parpadelle which was super tender and satisfying. Thank you Nicolo, and the whole team for making our date night out a special one.

  • 5/5 Frieda M. 3 years ago on Google
    Beyond excellent. Every meal is a dining experience. Complete with fabulous wine list (including the correct glasses for us wine snobs). Service couldn't be more accommodating and attentive. Recent updates to the interior elevate the ambiance of this small and inviting gem of a restaurant. Reservations are recommended. There aren't enough stars to give. We are fans for life!

  • 5/5 aimeemiabeach 3 years ago on Google
    Great restaurant especially during these crazy times. My boyfriend and I went for date night and were very impressed that they took our temperature at the entrance and had hand sanitizer on the table. Also the tables were set up to abide by the social distance guidelines. The food was awesome!! Our waiter was very friendly, knowledgeable about wines and recommended the mushroom ravioli with truffles that was amazing. We highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Ava M. 3 years ago on Google
    One of my top spots for quality italian food. Entered near eleven, it wasn't packed. The staff was very welcoming and observant. Food is similar to a cafe in Portland I loved.

  • 5/5 Trace H. 3 years ago on Google
    This place is worth giving a shot. They serve large portions for affordable rates. Always well organized and with excellent atmosphere. Will come visit again.

  • 5/5 Linda T. 3 years ago on Google
    This tiny restaurant quickly became my favorite for Italian food in Florida. Everything is fresh. Most is homemade, and using very good quality ingredients. The flavors are incredible and the waiter is tops. We recently went during Covid and were so impressed. They take your temperature at the door, spread out the tables, everyone wears masks, and there is sanitizer on every table. Be sure to reserve early. They tend to book up very fast. A+

  • 5/5 David D. 4 years ago on Google
    Good better than your typical Italian grub and lots of wines to choose from. Matteo gave us good service. A lovely night. Pictured is one of our two wines, this ref one we're recommending.

    By far the best service in coral springs! we all know the food is great but food is only a percentage of the experience for fine dining. The staff at Pasta And.. was so fantastic. never was there a water glass half full, always wine in our glasses, great suggestions and product knowledge. The staff made our meal one of the best we have had in years. They should teach their skills to the rest of town. A+++ Truffles.......

  • 5/5 Ignacio F. 3 years ago on Google
    I was just at Pasta And last time I visited Florida in November and by all means this was an excellent choice. The food was spectacular, and the service was out of this world. Very authentic and friendly folks. All dishes were amazing and I'm definitely returning for the dish my mother ordered which was the Ravioli stuffed with pear and cheese. UNREAL! It was so good. Hands down my favorite authentic Italian restaurant.

  • 4/5 Caleb R. 3 years ago on Google
    This place really hit the spot! The cashier was super friendly on my first visit. He recommended the chicken thigh and beef louleh combo plate - about $10. First impression - very generous proportions. Came with a side of onion salad and grilled veges. Next is the taste. Aww my gawd got instantly hooked on their chicken thigh kabob! Juicy with very deep flavors. It's been a while since I've had a craving to go back to the same spot the next day. Immediately ordered delivery the next day and tried the beef louleh, chicken louleh, beef shish and pork shish with sides of hummus and buba ghanoush. The delivery was on time. Great taste for most dishes. Only thing I wouldn't recommend is the pork shish. Mutabel was on another level. My wife and I are excited to continue exploring through their menu.

    Little piece of Italy here in South Florida. Food and service are amazing and most of all authentic. Love their recommendations of wines Last one was special one recommended by Matteo :) and the best part after dessert espresso, grappa e limoncello è siamo pronti! Definitely a must try!

  • 5/5 joseph g. 3 years ago on Google
    From that moment my friend and I walked into this restaurant I knew this was going to be an amazing evening. We were greeted with a very welcome and big friendly smiles. The restaurant inside is very nice and it brought me back memories of a great cafe in Italy. The service was outstanding and the food was 5 star. You can tell a lot of love, time and the best ingredients go into each well prepared dish. Please do not hesitate to dine in this fine restaurant. I look forward to coming back soon.

  • 5/5 aline f. 3 years ago on Google
    First of all, our server seemed just as excited to have us as we were to be there, which only enhanced our joy :-). I read the reviews for this place and our experience did not disappoint. Rinky-dink plaza but this place is amazing... Mom and pop restaurant where mom and pop are not just the owners, they're actually your chefs. So many wine selections. Lots of mushroom and wild boar dishes (so for those of you who are vegetarians or carnivores: you can finally get along here... there are plenty of options for you both, and even some pescatarian dishes). Everything made fresh in house. I was so jaded by the typical italian restaurants here in America... but this place is refreshingly authentic. On that note, don't expect your basic "italian" dishes like chiknn pa&rm or plain spag n meatbalz... This place is the real deal and honors recipes from north Italy. Enjoy!!!

  • 5/5 Leny 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Dr. Tickle S. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Na Y. 3 years ago on Google
    A little piece of heaven...Italian heaven. Got back from Italy and could no longer settle for anything but real/authentic Italian food. Discover Pasta AND and the rest is history...been coming regularly and it is never short of amazing everything - to die for food, especially my favorite...homemade gnocchi. Exceptional wine..love their Oreno wine. Quaint/cozy ambiance and the staff is just darling - incredibly knowledgeable, professional and warm/friendly....always enjoy their company. This place is a must try! A little gem...my piece of heaven.
