“Great spot to get really good pasta.”
Great spot to get really good pasta! I had chicken pesto & bolognese with beef. So good. I should’ve listened when the chef recommended to get the smaller pasta. Great staff, really nice owners. Can’t wait to see this place get big!

“Pasta fasta is legit.”
Pasta fasta is legit. As a self-proclaimed carbonara connoisseur, I love their carbonara. Decadent creamy sauce, salty pieces of pancetta, and lots of parmesan coating spaghetti noodles create a comforting, filling, and nostalgic bite. The owner Didi is very kind, and the price is very reasonable for the quality and generous portions. Overall, an excellent addition to Lincoln park.

“Pleasantly surprised by this (quick service?) Pasta place.”
Pleasantly surprised by this (quick service?) Pasta place! It's been on my list for a while, but I couldn't wrap my head around, what seems like, the chipotle of Italian food (haha! ) Honestly though, this pasta was better than some that I've had at higher end restaurants for nearly 3 times the price. I got the carbonara. It was a tad on the salty side if you're sensitive to stuff like that- but, I prefer it that way and ultimately thought it was really good! I'm completely sold on the idea now, it's filling, it's pasta, it's cheap, it's in a little takeout box- it just hits the spot! Great addition to the neighborhood and I'm glad I finally tried it!

The workers here are incredibly sweet and helpful and the food was DELICIOUS. I love the pesto with spaghetti and spice added. It's worth a try if you like cheesy pasta.

“This place is amazing and the pasta is so fresh.”
This place is amazing and the pasta is so fresh. I tried a few different dishes, and every one was delicious. They’ve got tons of options for sauces and toppings, so it was easy to find something I love. The staff was super friendly, and the whole vibe was really laid-back and inviting. This place is definitely worth a visit if you're into good pasta!

“The pastas were delicious, sauces were fantastic and made from scratch.”
The pastas were delicious, sauces were fantastic and made from scratch. Bow tie pasta was cooked perfectly! My daughter asked if it’s possible to leave a 10 star review because it’s that good! Fast and tasted very fresh. Sorry for the mostly eaten food photos, shows the pasta has plenty of sauce all the way to the bottom, but also didn’t think to snap the photo until we’d slammed it. I had the beef and mushrooms and will look forward to getting it again. My daughter had the Bolognese and loved it. Loved talking with the owner and chef as well, he was able to answer questions about the menu and ingredients, he could be a chef at a 5 star restaurant!

“An amazing addition to the neighborhood.”
An amazing addition to the neighborhood! Pasta Fasta has become my go-to place for lunch and dinner. Their pasta options provide choices for vegan and vegetarians as well as omnivores. I’m vegan and I love the arugula, butterfly, and arrabbiata. Food is consistently tasty and really fresh. The owners are lovely and very hard working. Give this place a try and you’ll never look back 😊.

Flavour is amazing, it brought me back to my grandma’s recipes. They are super friendly. It’s a perfect healthy “fast food” as a snack or you lunch/dinner meal. Such a cool spot, definitely coming back a lot!

The pasta was absolutely delicious and service was quick and easy. I got the bolognese and the beef and mushroom. The bolognese was delicious but the beef and mushroom was phenomenal! Can’t wait to go back and try more! Also for my fellow Muslims, the chicken is ZABIHA HALAL!!!
