Wonderful experience. The food was outstanding. We had the special appetizer which was a stuffed artichoke. The surprise addition to this dish was mozzarella cheese! The Chilean sea bass was another special that was absolutely delicious. The service was excellent all around.

About the restaurant
Pastavino translates to pasta & wine, the quintessential Italian experience, drawing inspiration from the traditional trattorias & enotecas throughout Italy. Michelin Star Chef Josh Laurano's menu focuses on modern interpretations of familiar Italian flavors, house made pastas, focaccia & secondi. We pride ourselves on seasonality, using local ingredients, and allowing them to be the soul of the menu - Materia Prima.

If you do not see your desired time or party size please check RESY or call the restaurant directly . We do not put all tables online to allow for phone reservations and walk in's.

Please include all guests in your party including those who may be in strollers or high chairs.

While we love to celebrate life's special occasions with you, we kindly ask that you refrain from bringing balloons into our dining rooms.

We try our best to accomodate all requests and preferences, however tables located along the window are seated on a first come first served basis.
