Pastini Pastaria

My wife and I went to Pastini and were very happy with our experience. When we arrived we were pleasantly greeted and told there was a 20 min wait. They even asked if they could take our phone # so we didn't have to wait in the lobby. We decided to stay in the lobby and were offered drinks while we waited. That was a no-brainer. I had a Italian creamsicle, ""yummy"" and my wife had a glass of wine. Nice to have while waiting.\r \r When we were sat, about 20 mins like they said, our server was great! We were never left feeling like we were unattended but not rushed either. I had the Manicotti and my wife had the Misto Mare. Both were really good.\r \r We will be back and will be telling our friends to check you out. Thanks Pastini. You obviously care about your customers. Pros: Great service and food. more

Italian food that is authentic and just plain yummy. Other restuarants offer a gluten free pasta that is just gross. Pastini makes it to order so you can change the sauce and topping sto your liking! Great atmosphere for a date or for family.\r Go! It will be your new fave! Pros: options! authentic! Gluten Free option! Cons: parking more

I look forward to my weekly rendevous with my daughters and grandchildren whiel having lunch at our favorite place of all! Pastini's of course!!\r Tthe grandkids love the childrens menu especially the mac and cheese. If I ask them what they want, they just tell me, Grandma you know already! Of course, the best mac n cheese for any child!! \r My favorite is the Cannelloni Fruit di Mare. Cannelloni filled with tender pieces of seafood with a smooth white sauce. Then there's the dessert, what can one say when all I want to do is melt eating anything from Pastini's dessert menu. \r One of my daughters has to eat gluten free and we can always get gluten free pasta at Pastini's. \r Bridgeport has the ambience we enjoy and the best wines for the prices they ask. We are and always will be loyal customers to Pastini's at any location. The staff at Bridgeport seems like family!!! Yeah Pastini's!!! Pros: Something for Everyone!!!! more

Pastini is such a great local place! I love coming here with my friends and having a great dish of pasta, some wine and dessert for a reasonable price! The servers are always friendly and explain the menu well and take time to ensure we have everything we need. Its a great place for lunch or dinner after some serious shopping! Pros: Great atmosphere, great food. Cons: Can I eat here everyday???? more

Pastini just lost two long-time customers due to rude customer service from the wait staff and the new, gestapo-like manager. Worst restaurant experience ever (even from such a quaint and tasty restaurant as Pastini). Why? Manager refused to let my pregnant wife have some parmesan sauce for her pasta order unless we paid $4.00; a 50% upcharge on the meal. Four dollars for about 6 tablespoons of sauce. We'd gotten the exact same dish and sauce combination no less than 6 times over the past 6 months, and we were *never* charged extra and we always got service with a smile. Not any more thanks to new management. It's like the soupnazi skit on Seinfeld. If you don't like your meal as-is, no pasta for you. And the manager's attitude? 'Go ahead and leave'. Pastini corporate management should be ashamed. Pros: Excellent food, great selection, perfect prices Cons: terrible uncaring new manager, awful attitude more

We think Pastini is the best deal around and in such an upscale atmosphere. I really like that I can get whole wheat pasta or gluten-free substituted with any of the pasta dishes as well as lots of vegetarian selections. It seems like whoever we take there can find something to fit their diet. The servers are all so friendly and the service is prompt but not rushed. My parents are restaurant snobs and they were impressed. It's hard to believe that most entrees are under $10. Try the Carbonara or the Linguini Misto Mare, two of our favorites. The wine list is extensive but we usually go for the wine of the month, they take time to select something really good to feature. I'm getting hungry just writing this, time for dinner! Pros: Great service, consistently good food more

We bought a new place not too long ago, so now I feel like we're always at Bridgeport Village looking for stuff for our place. ANYWAY, while I'm getting miserable about having to go back to BV all the time, I do love it when we take the time to stop into Pastini for lunch or dinner. Service is fast, the food is consistently good, and it's great for takeout. more
