Pasta Beach - Newport

First-class example for restaurant snobery! terrible personal service and treated us like snobs then wondered why I got angry and didn't leave a tipp. if they want to spend a decent amount at night and be treated badly, then this is the place for them.

Beautiful looking place but: I asked the wait workers what kind they have, they said we have tab beer! So I asked them if they have stella, they answer no, so I ask them what their imported beer selection is, they answer, we have not imported any imported beer, all we have is bud, bud light, müller, peroni, I immediately asked them for peroni, which is an Italian import. then I ordered a mushroom pizza with fresh basilikum and no cheese. when she brings the pizza, I don't see a basilikum, I asked her where the basilikum is, she tells me it must be in the sauce, so I asked her to bring me a fresh basilikum, put on the top, she brought a teller basilikum leaves, but they are covered with black dirt, now that in the right mind...read more

Love the pastas. the amatriciana is our favorite. the pizza with arugula and prosciutto always great. even the Italian brot is up to hard Italian family standards.

Excellent eating. pasta cooked perfectly. bolognese die. friendly quick service. Leave that you want for nothing!

Great Food. This place offers an intimate dinning room...it feels local; like you have walked into a hidden gem. on the downside the service and staff leave a lot to be desired. they are not welcoming and look at you like deer in headlights. you almost want to tell them to calm down everything will be okay. so if you don't mind getting the stare down from the staff and patrons when you walk in you will find the food is incredible. back to the upside...service was prompt (if unfortunately unfriendly)...and the ambiance is really great. it is very conducive to great conversation over great food!
