Pastai Restaurant
European · Italian · New York, NY
About
Pastai stands out in Chelsea by specializing in hand-made fresh pasta crafted from local whole grains, all prepared in an open kitchen. It's a fine-dining spot with a family-friendly vibe, drawing a mixed-gay-straight crowd. Gluten-free pasta is a signature, made in a separate area to avoid cross-contamination. The menu focuses on seasonal Southern Italian dishes, paired with fine wines and curated spirits. The space is upscale yet casual, with outdoor seating and full bar.
You'll find it open for dinner only, with late hours Thursday through Saturday. Reservations are accepted, and a wheelchair-accessible ramp is available due to landmark restrictions. If you're in the mood for classic New York fare, Katz's Delicatessen is a nearby institution worth visiting.
