They live up to their name - authentic Italian bistro! – My husband and I tried the downtown Pastini?s for the first time last night and we were quite impressed. We prefer to support local restaurants and don?t particularly care for the chains. Come to find out, Pastini is locally owned & features bread from the Pearl Bakery! (And they even have a Pastini MySpace page). Their menu & wine list were extensive. I tried the baked ziti with sausage and my husband had the spaghetti & meatballs, along with some Chianti. Yum! Both d... read more

They aren't even trying – I'm not an Italian cuisine snob, but I know what is good Italian and when they aren't even trying. We tried this place out a few weeks ago and were not impressed with the sauces or the service. We decided to give it another chance this week thinking it might have been a fluke. This time I asked for a suggestion of a great dish with rich creamy sauce. The waitress had no suggestions. I went ahead and ordered a chicken pasta dish that was described to have a creamy Alfredo sauce with sun dried tomatoe... read more

They don't skimp on the scampi :) – It was hard at first to decide on a Recommended rating for Pastini. Then I realized I would only be docking them points because they're a chain restaurant, a tireless machine of pasta slinging bliss. Yet, they accomplish their mission with deft organization, varied dishes, and most of all low prices. My wife got a shrimp dish and I ordered the Spaghetti Carbonara. The latter of which is a white sauce with peas, peppers, and bacon. This is where their value is, even though it was between 8 ... read more

time to try other Italian restaurants – Been here at least half a dozen times. Today we ordered spaghetti and meatballs substituting bolognese sauce for marinara. Spaghetti & Meatballs on menu is 7.95. We were charged 9.75 for the substitution and got 1 meatball less than the menu item. If we'd ordered the bucatini with Italian sausage, 2 meatballs and bolognese sauce we'd of paid 9.75. Okay, so they don't know how to price changes. When we spoke to the head waiter, he was insistent on explaining his restaurant's policy, rig... read more

best italian – I have been to Pastini many times with coworkers, friends and we always had good experience. Prepare for some delays on work day lunch if you have big groups. Service and the good quality was always good.

Excellent service, delicious food and lively atmosphere – I had a fabulous experience at Pastini last night. They were busy, but the server efficiently took our order and our food came out so fast we were astounded. I?m used to paying twice as much for less quality at other restaurants.

Great Food, Great Service, and a Great Value - We Love it!! – My wife and I love going to Pastini. We are somewhat food snobs because we dine out for lunch and dinners multiple times a week. That said, we love the food at Pastini. I have eaten nearly every dish on the menu and have always found it to be delicious. Their ingredients are fresh and their preparation is perfect. In addition to the quality food, the service is top notch and always friendly. They really strive to go beyond your expectations. As for the prices, you... read more

Spectacular food for a very low price! – What a great place. I was surprised how affordable it was despite it's location at the upscale Bridgeport Village. I was there with a large group of friends and we all ordered something different and tried eachothers food and everything was great. The best, hands down, was the seafood cannolli thing. (I think that is what is called) It was basically a manicotti noodles stuffed with halibut, scallops and crab...and strange combination but incredible!! The portions were on the larger si... read more

Good food, good price (for the most part) – I have gone there a few times for take out with my girlfriend. The value and the food has always been excellent except for their soups. The soup portions are very very very very small. Our take out order of soup didn't even fill the small container even though we got the "bowl" instead of the "cup." We were told that it's one ladle of soup for the cup, and 2 ladles for the bowl. I feel sorry for whomever gets the cup and thinks they accidently drained 2/3rds of it on the walk home.... read more
