One of the best spots in town! Yes, of course the pasta is very good. But they’ve got the BEST soups in the game! Pair that with one of their crispy salads, or a panzerotti (think a small, fried calzone) and you’ve got the best lunch in town. (And the lasagna and arancini are maybe my favorites of all time!!!) It’s good, honest food served by friendly people! Not to mention, though small inside, it’s cozy and homey, with plenty of space to sit outside in the sun on a beautiful day. There’s a small retail section with items you often cannot find anywhere else in town, and the bakery case is always slammin’. Love- a PLF fan from the beginning <3 <3 <3

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.

My wife and I intentionally came into Pasta La Fata Friday night because they chose to stay open during the nationwide strike to support their employees and make it clear that everyone is welcome here. That mattered to us. The food was excellent. I had the chicken parm sandwich and it was amazing, one of the best sandwiches I’ve had in a long time. We also had their Sugar & Spiced Sweet Tea, sweetened black tea with warm winter spices, which was fantastic and different in a good way. For dessert we took home the tiramisu, which absolutely lived up to their reputation for sweets. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. We told the woman behind the counter why we were there, and she was honest about the concern over backlash but clear about their values. No corporate nonsense, just a small business doing the right thing. If you’ve actually eaten here, leave an honest review. And if you care about good food and businesses that treat people like people, this place deserves your support. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Whether it be at the farmers market or the restaurant, I have always genuinely enjoyed the food from Pasta La Fata. It is always comforting in the deepest sense of the word and the treats are outstanding. The tiramisu has my heart!!!! And the people are so nice. The young man we used to see at the farmers market remembered us after not having been for a long time. He remembered us and our littles! Shopping from small businesses mean a lot to us but that means so much more. 1000/10 you will not regret your time with them.
