What Ali doesn't like about Pastini Pastaria:
its sad to say but the best part was the garlic bread which was outstanding lol). my dish was so bland : my linguini misto mare tasted like nothing. the only flavor was black pepper there was next to no sauce. my friend enjoyed their spaghetti con gamberetti the lemon dessert was good! food came out in record time the staff is very nice. View all feedback. What Amy likes about Pastini Pastaria:
Pastini was a cute restaurant with friendly waitstaff and laid back classy vibes. There were pictures of Italy on the walls and the entrance of the restaurant was welcoming too. Their lunch menu offered excellent selections at $11.00. Can’t beat that for yummy Italian food. If we lived in the area, my hubby and I would be there more often! View all feedback.

Reviews for Pastini in Downtown Portland are mixed. Some diners found the pasta to be overcooked and bland, with slow service and rude staff. Others enjoyed the ambiance and found the food to be tasty, with menu variety. The restaurant offers gluten-free pasta options and dishes like Pesto Pasta received high praise. Overall, while some had disappointing experiences with dry pasta and chewy chicken, others appreciated the lunch specials, delicious salads, and attentive service. The price range is considered reasonable, making it a good option for Italian food in the area.
