Bin YangSeptember 30, 2016Everything is delicious - note that the pastas tend to be oily, but hey it's good olive oil. Check the daily specials on the board (to your right). Lasagna here is always a safe bet. Smaller portions.
Nick LosiFebruary 25, 2017It doesn't get much better than being here on a warm summer night, eating perfectly al dente pasta, simple bread and olive oil, and striking up a conversation with the people next to you.Upvoted Mar 4
Ash PondersJune 26, 2021Lasagne if you don’t wanna think about what to get. It’s phenomenal and easy going. Pair it with a rubbish Italian import beer.
Marco GomesOctober 23, 2018Very authentic italian pasta, cooked al dente like in Italy, the sauces are flavourful, tasty. Very cost-effective considering the location.
Workers are a riot! The space is covered in jokes with their signage. Food is good for a rake out joint. Complimentary bread is tasty.
Bre TempestaAugust 23, 2018Perfect for a quick meal! The patio was open tonight for a perfect summer meal. Got the lemon chicken with spinach — yum!
This is just about the best goddamn place in SoHo. The only Italian place this side of little Italy that Italian is spoken — by staff and customers — more than English.
Chitra AgrawalMarch 8, 2013Lived down the block from this place for 3 years and became addicted to their penne spinach ricotta, also love their chili oil which is kind of hidden near the water.
get a classic pasta dish you like and you won't be disappointed. only thing that would make this cozy inexpensive restaurant better would be byob
OlinJuly 28, 2018A delicious and homemade lunch option if you work nearby. Cosy atmosphere to stay in and friendly staff. Pasta is delicious
Rory ParnessNovember 15, 2014Bring your Italian/English dictionary and enjoy some fresh pasta served perfectly al dente. Check the chalkboard for the speciale del giorno
naveenNovember 4, 2015After all these years, I still like to stop by here every so often – no need to go fancy, just a rigatoni plate and a Pellegrino will do.- Not the biggest fan of pasta, but at Pepe Rosso, I can eat anything. One of the best Italian places in the city, really tiny, but worth it. Recommend the Penne Vodka and Pappardelle w/ Sausages & Spic
Lunch special is great. Always good pasta. Very small though, so don't bet on a seat. And don't stick around longer than you need to!
KarimaFebruary 19, 2016Pasta! It's always al dente, generously portioned, reasonably priced and generally delicious. The bresaola with arugula is also pretty tasty.
Archana ROctober 11, 2011Ahhhh love this place! What a great concept! Porcini taglioni and homemade tiramisu...so delish! Perfect for a lazy sunday lunch while waiting for your laundry at the laundromat next door
William HAugust 23, 2014Don't walk past this hole in the wall. Skip the whole "restaurant" idea and just order a plate of anything here - you won't be disappointed. Penne vodka in particular is top-notch.
Kostya GolikovOctober 16, 2014It is located on a right hand side from the Church, not next to it, as map suggests. As of October '14 they have 'B' sanitary rating, though, the dishes are delicious and worth risking.
Ram RDecember 29, 2017Great Italian take out place in SoHo! Quick food and a very small seating space. The food was really good.
Liz PaulinoFebruary 21, 2016Amazing penne vodka and rigatoni chicken! Great prices too. Definitely recommend it for yummy pasta! :)
Allison YuJanuary 6, 2015Truly a hidden gem. Huge menu of delicious al dente pasta for $10-$12. And seriously AMAZING bread
Audrey OMarch 30, 2015Affordable & quick. Great pasta selections in the neighborhood. Dining area is tiny - definitely better to go.
Tiago FerreiraNovember 23, 2014One of my favorite italian restaurants in the city. The place is small, so take out is a good idea.
- Legit lunch specials. Get a prosciutto panini and salad to go. p.s. don't ask for diet coke unless you want to be yelled at.
Everything here is great. Quick, quality pasta. Few tables, so it's not for leisurely dining.
Emily WilsonAugust 13, 2015The penne vodka with pancetta is delicious, but so is every other pasta on the menu.
KJanuary 11, 2016A must. Could be a favorite...A+ pasta, ambiance, service & location. Small & intimate.
Oz LublingAugust 8, 2014The best Italian takeout in all of manhattan. Super flavorful food and great specials.
Ing SottAugust 19, 2013They have a spaghetti pasta with tuna that is out of this world! Quick and delicious meals every time!
Laura VitaroMarch 2, 2013Delicious authentic Italian. Great lunch deal. Very small space, though which is nice and intimate, but a little cramped.
sam defranJuly 15, 2010Hands down the best Italian food in NYC. Tight seating but if you want to show someone what real ingredients taste like over perfectly cooked pasta, bring them here. And if your date has any idea abou
Definitely the best pasta for take-out/delivery in NYC. Always look at the specials board.
Natalie VMarch 7, 2016Small cozy spot. Great pasta, I usually go for one of the specials which never disappoint.
Alex HayworthJune 19, 2017Tiny place with maybe four seats that churns out really good pasta. Great to-go.
Get one of the pasta specials, sip on a cup of vino, and enjoy the best, quickest inexpensive Italian in town.
Chirag PatelMarch 15, 2010This is one of the best Italian restaurants in NYC, the food is delicious, the prices are low and their is always a line. FYI, the place is small so if u want a table u will need to wait. Read more
Tagliolini wit Prosciutto Shiitake Truffle Oil and Cream Sauce.
Joey DellatteFebruary 12, 2015So amazing that you would think to be in Italy... Except when you look at the window ! Just order, then sit, then taste the food !
Marisa TomAugust 15, 2011Cheap Italian that surprisingly tastes better than some more upscale restos. The hearty spaghetti bolognese and the spicy pappardelle are my favorites.
Lux LovelleJune 23, 2013Penne with pink sauce. So awesome. Best quick lunch spot if you're craving a bowl of fresh pasta.
budgetplaces.comJuly 18, 2011If you’re passing through Soho then this place is a must! Authentic Italian pasta in one of the hippest parts of NYC! Real value for money!
DipikaDecember 5, 2014The delivery took over an hour- was not pleased. I got eggplant parm w penne. They sent me a box w eggplant & another box of plain boiled penne. Weird lol. Saving grace: eggplant was hot and cheesy!
Adam KubanJune 19, 2011Bread comes free, and if you want olive oil (and spicy olive oil) to dip it in, check the shelf on the wall. There are dishes and condiments there.
Jessica NigraMarch 21, 2016its really amazing place must try Italian soup. for more information try this http://dailyupdated.net/category/healthcare/
The penne vodka is my favorite. Grab some spinach or broccoli on the side if you need some greens.
