Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Excerpts

Pasta Fresca is nothing but exceptional, the food and cultural background speaks for itself! This was the best dining experience we have had in Reno, as locals of +10 years. To start, warm, sliced bread was brought to our table, of which we accompanied with high quality olive oil, and balsamic vinegar which was provided at the table. To follow, I ordered an appetizer special, a glass of Italian wine recommended by the waiter to pair with my spicy vodka pasta. The recommendation was tremendous and paired smoothly. The pasta was simply the best pasta I have had the pleasure of having. The rigatoni was soft, but gummy, as authentic rigatoni should be. The sauce was made with wholesome ingredients to taste, and the vodka, as well as the spice, was clear, but not overpowering. Overall the best pasta I have had. The lasagna was equally as impressive. My boyfriend’s face from the moment he took his first bite said it all! The atmosphere of the restaurant was very cozy and small, and the waiter and men behind the counter were VERY attentive, and kind. We finished off the night with a good sized portion of thick and creamy tiramisu, and still had a good portion of pasta and lasagne remaining to take home, despite being very full. Prices in comparison to the quality of food with the cultural expertise, is FANTASTIC. Reno is lucky to have a gem like Pasta Fresca! We are looking forward to being back!

Amazing restaurant!! Best gluten free pasta in town. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. I love that they use local and high quality ingredients. Their meats and vegetables are some of the best in this town. You will not be disappointed if you eat quality food. Their quality is beyond most places in this town!

If you’re looking for real authentic Italian food, this is the restaurant for you. The staff was super helpful and kind the whole time my wife and baby were there. And the salmon with the vodka sauce was to die for. Highly recommend Pasta Fresca for anyone that’s looking for a great date night.
