What José Carlos Ferreira likes about IL Pastaio:
Il Pastaio Ristorante in Boulder, is a hidden gem that offers delicious, fresh, and tasty Italian cuisine. The food is exceptional, and the service is top-notch, making for a delightful dining experience. The only downside is the small space, which can get quite crowded during lunch hours. However, the quality of the food and the friendly service more than make up for it. I was so impressed and enjoyed my meal so muc... View all feedback. What mandi b doesn't like about IL Pastaio:
For 30$ I only got a single serving of pasta without chicken or any protein and I asked for extra bread and didn’t receive it, after I spent that much on dinner for 1 person. Probably won’t be back because of the outrageous amount they want you to pay for average pasta. View all feedback.
