Pasta Beach

We went here with some apprehension as their yelp rating is so so. Guys, I do not understand why this place isn't at least in the high 4's?!

We were so delighted by the ambiance the second we walked in. Beautiful decor and very inviting bar and dining area.

We had a larger group so we made reservations and our table was ready as promised.

Our server was fantastic. She was extremely kind and knew the menu like the back of her hand. She readily answered any questions and was more than happy to accommodate any requests.

The wine list is excellent and we were very happy with our Orin Swift selection. Those who ordered cocktails really enjoyed what they ordered.

The burrata appetizer blew us all away.

Everyone LOVED their meals. My husband's lobster dish was phenomenal.

We ended our experience with a Nutella pizza. Definitely a must try!

Will absolutely be back and we definitely recommend this great find to anyone headed to Newport!

I loved this place! The atmosphere, the food and the service were all fabulous!
I can't wait to return!

This spot really is just okay, especially for the price point and the wait time. The restaurant was quite crowded when we came (Saturday afternoon), so I thought the food would be really good.

Almost every single dish was lacking in flavor and tasted bland, except for the carbonara, which was too salty The Bolognese (not pictured) tasted entirely like canned marinara and meat (our server told us there was very little tomato sauce in it!!) The spaghetti alle vongole had the taste of wine, as the menu indicated, but the menu also implied white wine sauce, and there was pretty much no sauce in the pasta :( The tagliatelle ai funghi (mushroom pasta) was actually pretty good! It was creamy and generous with the mushrooms.

Overall, this place is a lot more expensive than it is nice - I would definitely give the other menu items a try if I were to come back, but it was a very average meal overall.

Great spot in the neighborhood for italian food. service is fast and kind, their food is hearty and comforting and their portions are on the larger size (but not family size) there is also outdoor seating

Great spot for lunch in Newport! Came here for a quick bite after work. Got the quasi mojito and the tagliatelle bolognese. The mojito was excellent; quite delicious and refreshing. My entree was amazing. The pasta was cooked perfectly and the flavors were very good. Overall I had a very good experience.

Nice, friendly service but food was overpriced, portions were very small and just weren't really good. And $16 for the smallest pour of a house wine I've ever seen.

Great place to go, wasn't to die for but wasn't bad either - definitely worth checking out nonetheless! The vibes are cool and the staff are great!

Pretty good pasta and pizza. I liked the casual vibe. Service was really good too. It's a small chain I think because there's a Pizza Beach in Boston as well. We had different pastas for dinner and shared a pizza for an appetizer. Worked out well for us.

Great spot! The grilled romaine salad is AMAZING, the fried eggplant appetizer was interesting (it comes cold which we weren't expecting) and the bruschetta is unbelievable! I got the mushroom pasta with light sauce and the pasta was perfectly cooked. My friend got the penne arrabbiata but with spaghetti and it was extremely good as well. Service was awesome, our only complaint was that it's super hot in there in the summer

Food was good, I had the cacio e pepe. The atmosphere is super cute and modern, they have a really good drink selection. Staff was friendly and nice! Def recommend this place.
