Fresh Pasta, Timeless Tradition: Welcome to Pastai NYC

Welcome to Pastai
At Pastai, which means “the pasta makers” or “the pasta sellers,” we celebrate the art of handmade pasta. Our fresh pasta is crafted daily from scratch in an open kitchen, using locally sourced whole grains that highlight the finest ingredients New York has to offer. Every dish on our menu is inspired by seasonal produce, thoughtfully curated from nearby farmers and purveyors, ensuring a farm-to-table experience with every bite.

Drawing inspiration from the warmth of Southern Italy, our dishes are paired with fine wines and curated spirits, creating a dining experience that feels both refined and inviting. For those with dietary preferences, we offer signature gluten-free pasta, meticulously prepared and cooked separately to ensure it remains free from cross-contamination with wheat.

Bring the flavors of Pastai into your home—our fresh pasta is available for purchase, allowing you to recreate our cherished family recipes in your own kitchen. Whether you’re joining us for a meal or taking a piece of Pastai home, we invite you to savor the timeless tradition of handmade pasta, crafted with love and care.
