Il Pastaio

Part of what sets the Italian food at Il Pastaio apart is its wealth of sauces. The choice of Arrabiata, Basilico, Bolognese and Matriciana toppings can make a world of difference when sampling pasta, and Il Pastaio creates a rich variety with simple variations in toppings. Pasta entrees such as gnocchi ($4.50), tortellini ($4.50) and ravioli ($4.50) are composed of fresh ingredients, making the diverse sauce selection even richer. The space is small and intimate, so it's wise to make reservations before heading out.
