“Aracely’s the BEST worker in this place! I absolutely l love the food and the service! Btw, my girl Aracely deserves a raise 🫶🏻😁”
“The ladies behind the counter are super sweet. The food is delicious and I believe for a good price for the quality of it. The photo has alfredo with penne 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!”
“Es realmente delicioso, porción generosa y económico. Lo triste es no vivir en Chicago para venir más seguido. Fueron también muy amables”
“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.”
“Paid an extra two dollars for extra sauce didn’t receive it actually, the first time I went, they gave me more sauce than this time when I actually paid for more sauce also pay Almost 3 dollars for a garlic knot, and it was old and hard”
“My groin itched a little while I was eating the food and my last order taste like soap.”
“PastaFi is amazing. I appreciate the staffs and managers kindness to me even though I have autism and their food is amazing and really good. Owner Ron and Didi is very nice. The restaurant is in good condition. Great pasta. Must come back. 10/10.”
“This pasta is by far THE BEST in all of Chicago! Service is extremely professional and polite. You're going to get nothing but exceptionalism and world class here.”
“Food was great! I got the Chicken Pesto with a layer of the Arrabbiata sauce on top and it was amazing. 100 percent recommend trying this place!”
