My daughter wanted pasta she googled and found this place. The food was Amazing this was truly fresh authentic pasta �. I like it better than Olve Garden at this point. The atmosphere was great and the music excellent they played a variety of Motown hits and they make fresh pasta Daily. I have not ate since 130 it’s 915 pm the meal was that fulfilling
Wonderful food and great attentive service. The father's day special was delicious. I can't recommend this place enough.
They have great service and the hand made pasta is worth the wait. So much better than any pasta place I have been to.
A very small quaint boutique restaurant. The food is amazing. Special request they don't mind. Of course BYOB. Reservations are a must on Friday & Saturday.
They made me a fabulous chickpea pasta with capers, olives, sundried and grape tomatoes and some other things. So great to find a vegan option since my friend really wanted to go here for lunch. I don't expect it but it is always appreciated �.
The menu is limited. If you love Italian pasta, you will enjoy this small restaurant short distance from the state capitol complex.
I didn't see alcohol on the menu but our next table had a bottle of wine (BYOB??). It would be nicer if wine is offered. I had San pellegrino sparkling drink - sans alcohol.
Went with a large group. All the food was good. The pasta amazing! The protein in the pasta was a tad flavorless but the homemade pasta made up for it. BYOB so plan ahead for the wine to go with dinner.
Always looking for a restaurant with good homemade pasta, Pastorante did not disappoint.
I had the special of the day which was a fusilli (rotini) with shrimp, asparagus, and sun dried tomatoes. IMO the pasta was a bit overcooked but it held its shape. The shrimp and asparagus, however, were perfectly cooked. I'm not a fan of sun dried tomatoes but those were easy to eat around (I didn't know they were in the dish) and the lemon creme sauce was light and flavorful.
I also had the stuffed mushrooms with pancetta and mozzarella. They were okay. The mushrooms were flavorful but I couldn't taste the pancetta and there was too much mozzarella which was overwhelming.
The absolute best part of the meal was the espresso creme brulee. It was AMAZING! I highly recommend it! With the perfect amount of coffee flavor, this was the perfect treat to end the meal.
Stuffed mushrooms, side Cesar salad, pasta dish, and creme brulee = $36. Good value for the amount of food.
I was really impressed by the quality of food here. We had the bruschetta and the meatballs with garlic bread to start. Both had great flavor. For the entree I had the special, which was a rigatoni with sausage and peas in a lemon cream sauce. The pasta was cooked perfectly and the sauce tasted fresh and light. Overall the flavors were that of a high end restaurant, but in a casual eatery. I will definitely return to eat here again. It's my new favorite restaurant in the area.
This place has a unique name, but it says so much! It's a very cozy place. The service is top notch, and family oriented. The menu is extensive with pasta an other quality Italian dishes.
Tell Karla I sent you! An ask for the Shuan' Mac & cheese dish! You will not be disappointed! This place is worth a trip just to Harrisburg!
