Pasta Fresh

“Delicious fresh pasta, sauces, breads .Very friendly staff and owners .”

Delicious fresh pasta, sauces, breads .Very friendly staff and owners . Tony treated us to fresh foccacia. We ordered fresh ravioli for a quick lunch that we enjoyed in the dining area. Like a trip to the old Italian neighborhood. We met Gino who I think runs the Italian grocery across the street. We will definitely go back.

I’m in love! I feel like I’m in Italy, not Chicago. Tony and Gino are so sweet! Waiting on my lunch, and Tony made me an espresso and brought me a little panzerotti. I took a bite and wanted to cry. I’m transcended to another place and time. Do yourself a huge favor and pick up some fresh pasta and sauce for your dinner tonight along with a delicious lunch. I’ll be back, like a lot.

“The best pasta I have had thus far.”

The best pasta I have had thus far! I was in search of Italian dishes for a party of 10 and I stumbled upon Pasta Fresh. As soon as I walked in, I felt like family. Ms. Tina was very helpful and freely offered samples of their delicious treats. Needless to say I left with what I needed and purchased pasta to travel back to Georgia with. Next time I am in town, I will be back!

“Old School Italian spot with the freshest pasta and sauces.”

Old School Italian spot with the freshest pasta and sauces. Great quality and service. CASH OR CHECK ONLY but everything is very reasonable and restaurant quality. They also have a great selection of cheese, pasta, bottle and canned goods from Italy. Including some great Italian olive oil.

“Came in for the first time looking for an authentic pasta experience and I GOT IT.”

Came in for the first time looking for an authentic pasta experience and I GOT IT. Rick was super friendly and helpful, and arranged for us to eat in the shop after hearing we didn’t live nearby. Rigatoni ala vodka and pancetta spinach ravioli were fantastic. The chew to those noodles is out of this world. Focaccia with their house garlic olive oil was a great compliment to our pasta. We will absolutely return another day.

Love the food and the people. Our family has been ordering arancini, Panzerotti, and homemade pasta for decades. We need places like this to survive!

“If you love Italian food there is no reason why you shouldn't run to this gem.”

If you love Italian food there is no reason why you shouldn't run to this gem. The Pasta e Fagioli is amazing-the braciola so good and the pasta is without a doubt the best I've had. Bring cash-no cards. Come for the pasta, leave with so much more.
