Dave's Fresh Pasta

I can't believe I haven't written a review for Dave's yet. Maybe because it's so awesome I figure it doesn't need my review. I'm never disappointed! I love their pasta. I love the store. I love the sandwiches. Love the breads and pastries I've never ordered anything I don't like. If I had a complaint, it might be how short they are with you at the sandwich counter, but I'm not going to complain because they're always freaking busy. I would act like that too. The person working the pasta counter always seems to be able to answer questions though.I literally go here every time I'm in the Boston area and I always take something to go home. I really wish there were more places like this around the country.

Sandwiches for lunch...no seating, minimal non-alcoholic drink options. The desserts and pasta looked amazing. Grilled sandwiches were okay but more like meat on a cracker. Certainly filling but not worth the wait and hassle of neighborhood parking.

One of the best sandwich joints in Boston...while it can be packed on the weekends, with sometimes a 30-40 minute wait for a sandwich it is WORTH IT!My all time favorite from Dave's is the fig and prosciutto sandwich on a baguette, toasted. While waiting for my order, I like to peruse through the market, as they have a variety of unique and interesting snacks.

I love this little local store, it's truly charming living in Davis and being able to pop into a store like this on weekends or after work. They have THE most delicious sandwiches, and I'm not even a sandwich person. In addition to sandwiches, they have pastries and (obviously) pasta. They also have a store and wine selection as well. I love the little local store and always bring visitors here!

Went to a private birthday party where Jason the owner was a gracious, knowledgeable, and fun host. A beautiful charcuterie board started off the evening, and then after we learned a little bit about Jason's family history, we got to cooking. We learned hot to seer delicious garlicky green beans in a paella pan, made garlic shrimp with amazing fresh bread, and had the most incredible caprese sandwiches with prosciutto and marmalade fig jam. Then after we were totally stuffed on the food and wine, we got to learn how to make homemade cheese ravioli. It was so much fun. He showed us multiple ways to make them, and then gave us the table to do our thing. We brought tons of leftovers home, and we got to shop in the store with a little discount. It was a fabulous time! Highly recommend to anyone considering a birthday party with friends!

Fabulous past place in the townMake sure to check out this place if you are visiting Davis square. And don't let the name fool you, they not only have delicious pastas and sauces go with them, but much more (different pastries, deli sandwiches, generous selection of beers & wines, etc.) I thought their cubano tasted great!Who needs to say more, their pasts are delicious and pretty affordable if you think about the neighborhood they are located at. Last time we picked out some black squid linguines, pumpkin/peach raviolis with pesto sauce. They were delicious and I can't wait to try their different pastas and sauces next time!Also check out their cute tote bag! We had to get them since they're adorable!

Sometimes I find the pasta hit or miss. I took a great class here years ago though and I appre the specialty goods and awesome sandwiches.

I think the shop is cute and has a ton of little things you can buy and get. The service was awesome.But the food was ok. It was good. But I wasn't blown away. We got turkey, an Italian and the Cuban.I'm not complaining about any of them. They were good sandwiches. But it didn't blow my mind. It just felt "ok". Portion wise, great. Big sandwiches. Good amount of slices inside.

One of the finest things about Cambridge! Dave's is not just a fresh pasta shop. It's a one-stop shop for all your entertaining needs- pick up freshly made pasta, delicious sauces (the lemon parm cream sauce is perfection), meats/cheese/olives/dips for your snacking board, plus other fun gifts/desserts/breads and don't forget to peruse their drinks and freezer section. Oh also, you can buy delicious sandwiches from their sandwich counter (the Grilled Chicken #1 is shockingly tasty) which features some truly tasty bread choices. The pasta people are so helpful and kind and will help you decide exactly how much pasta to buy so you won't feel overwhelmed in the face of all their choices; they'll even package it taking into account if you plan on cooking it later today vs. in 1-2 days and give you written instructions on the best way to store and cook it. It can be very busy so order online/ahead if you can, but make sure you make time to browse all their selections!

Dave's Fresh Pasta's Dinner Party class, led by Chef Jason, was truly an unforgettable experience. From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with warmth and a genuine passion for food that made the entire evening feel intimate and special. Chef Jason's energy was infectious--he masterfully combined humor, knowledge, and skill, making the class both educational and incredibly fun. The attention to detail in each dish was astounding, and Chef Jason walked us through every step with patience, ensuring everyone felt involved and confident in the kitchen. The ingredients were of the highest quality, fresh and bursting with flavor, and the final meal we created together was nothing short of spectacular. What made this class even more special was the sense of community Chef Jason fostered--by the end of the night, we weren't just classmates; we were friends sharing a beautiful meal together.This dinner party class was far more than just learning to cook--it was about celebrating food, friendship, and the joy of creating something wonderful together. Chef Jason has an incredible gift for making everyone feel like a top chef, and I left the evening not only with new skills but with cherished memories. I cannot recommend this experience enough--it's perfect for anyone looking to elevate their cooking game or simply enjoy an evening of great food and great company! Thank you, Dave's Fresh Pasta, for such a heartfelt and inspiring evening!
