Easily became my favorite Italian place to eat. Everything is made there, literally. The bread and oil sauce they give you while you wait is phenomenal. We bought that sauce to go for at home it was so good.The raviolis we're the best I've ever had anywhere. Hands down. The mushroom pasta my girlfriend got was tasty! Great flavor.The salads were awesome! The dressings were awesome! Good size for a salad too.I didn't have a cannoli but my mother did and she said it was the best she's ever had.Will be back many many times. I'll be trying many different dishes.
The salmon dish is arguably the best dish Pastina has made. It was recently added to their menu after being on special for a few weekends. All components work so well separately and even better together. The cocktails here are always delicious and well crafted. And the service is on point. Pizza is delicious as well. You can't go wrong. All around good experience.
Lord, please give me the strength and fortitude to NOT go to Pastina every week. I will be overweight AND broke. Rustic Italian is the feel of the restaurant for sure. The food is DELICIOUS. When they say everything made from scratch, they MEAN it. The pasta was amazing. The pizza phenomenal. Fresh ingredients felt like they were picked from a greenhouse in back. So good.
Very disappointed.I ordered a simple Italian classic, Chicken Piccata. What I received was over cooked, mushy, flavorless, watery pasta. Somehow the pasta was over cooked, the chicken was overcooked, but somehow had no color - it was white and rubbery. The traditional breading was non existent, instead it was just a thin layer of gummy flour that I could scrape off the chicken with a fork. What should’ve been a traditional fresh lemony briney cream sauce was straight water. The sauce had no flavor at all. I was so disappointed. The salad that was served with our dinner (which was an extra $4) was not impressive. The bread that was served was the sliced italian bread you can buy for a $1 a loaf at the supermarket. For an average of $25 a plate I would suggest going somewhere else... The server was nice but didn’t check on us at all during our meal, and then when I said I didn’t want a box for my meal (that I took one single bite of) she said “I wish you had told me you didn’t like it!” I would’ve said something if she had come back at all to our table before we were finished to check on us.. instead I felt like I was being blamed for not being asked…?The only redeeming quality was she took the dish off our check without us asking which was very much appreciated.
Small portion for dinner cost me 17 bucks for 4 ravioli with 3 meatball.. sauce is too thick like tomato paste. Meatballs taste old with no flavor. What is with the bread? And dipping sauce is cold. I wish to give 3 more stars but.. ?
Service was the slowest I've ever seen in my life! After being seated took 15 minutes for the server to ask our drinks. Another 15 mins to actually get them drinks, another 15 mins to get bread and a half an hour to get our food which was mediocre. The server never came to check on us at all. I saw her go to the same tables 3-4 times before even acknowledgung us! Olive garden is far better and cheaper!!!!!!!! Never ever again.
Pastina’s party of 8 on a busy Friday night, did a great job- I ordered shrimp scampi with home made fettuccini (pictured below) was delicious! I recommend reservations highly- give it a try
I drove 2 hours and was worth it!I have been to a lot of Italian restaurants but none as delicious as this!You can taste the difference with the homemade pasta and homemade sauces.The bartender was right on the money with my chocolate martini .Not to mention the waitress, I believe she was Alyssa. She was fantastic and did a great job. I highly recommend and is one of my favorites. I wish they had one in Huron County, I would visit on a regular basis.
Excellent time with buddies I love and great food ?❤️??
The most amazing pasta you'll have in your life. Although the place was packed and very loud, the staff were courteous and nice. The pasta, sauce, everything is made from scratch from locally sourced ingredients. At Pastina you can taste the difference. The noodles had texture and the sauce was rich. Next time I am in Ohio again it'll be a must visit!
