Pasto Italiano

You have to have reservations to get in because they are that good. The Italian restaurant is small, maybe a dozen tables and a bar. On Wednesday, there is live music, tonight a guitarist. We were heartedly greeted when we arrived. There is a friendly vibe from the minute you walk in. We met friends, sipped wine and talked before ordering. Wine is half price on Wednesday, so we had a bottle of their best cab, Josh Cellars. The menu is filled with traditional anti pastas, salads and pastas. Our server was friendly, described specials, made recommendations and kept water coming. She and the manager checked on us during our meal. Fresh bread comes with herbed oil, butter and an olive tapenade that is amazing. I could have made a meal on the bread. The Caesar salad is fresh and delicious with creamy Caesar dressing. I ordered Linguine with clams which came out in a buttery, lemon sauce loaded with perfectly tender clams. The linguine was delicious and I ate every morsel. My husband had the Salsiccia E Spinaci (spicy sausage with spinach and mushrooms over spaghetti). He loved it right from the start. The portions are generous. We didn't save room for dessert, unfortunately.Pasto Italiano is a wonderful experience. I am determined to try everything on the menu.

We have gone here for years, we love the food, the quaint atmosphere and outstanding service and kindness.

We recently went to a private event here and the food was delicious! My husband is part of a men's golf league and one of the members just bought the restaurant from the previous owners (or at least I think that's the story!). From my understanding, the menu has not and will not change. The garlic butter was a great pairing with the warm bread. We both had the caesar salad and chicken parmigiana. The marinara has a slight kick that we really enjoyed. The chicken was cooked nicely and the breading had a nice crunch. I ended the night with the raspberry sorbet, which was delicious! Service was spot on. We've been to Italian House several times but we'll now be coming here when we want Italian. The food is much better! Highly recommend.

Pasto is truly one of those rare hidden gems! My fiance & I had our first date here a few years ago, and it's now one of our regular go-to spots. Patsy + Kent, along with their staff are always so wonderful and the food is incredible.I 100% recommend calling in advance to check availability as they do tend to work more off of reservations vs. walk-in seating. The entire menu is BOMB - however, we are creatures of habit and tend to order the exact same things every time we go. I rotate between the Chicken Marsala & Eggplant Parmesan and my fiance almost always does the Spaghetti Bolognese + Spicy Sausage. Consistency is huge IMO & they are probably the most consistent restaurant we frequent.(Also, I think about the Romaine Wedge in my sleep sometimes.)If you haven't tried Pasto yet - GO!!**Honorable mention for the Limoncello Cake - I've never been a lemon girl but one of our friends made me try it recently and now I'm a bigggg lemon girl.

I was looking for some warm authentic Italian comfort food in the Indianapolis area over the Thanksgiving weekend & used Yelp to discover an absolute gem of a restaurant. You absolutely must make a reservation/call ahead or you will be waiting for a while. Once in the door, we were greeted by the owners & beautiful guitar music. Our table was waiting for us and shortly after were introduced to our experienced server. The specials seemed so yummy we tried them all with a recommended bottle of wine. We were not disappointed, the food came out hot and flavorful. It was a wonderful experience of great food & a cozy atmosphere. A++

The food was amazing! I had the hazelnut cake for dessert, omg! I was there for a Christmas party. The staff took care of all our needs.

Their food is the best in all of Indiana!!! Ought to get a Michelin star! Service is great. The charm is out of this world !

This is a cute intimate date night spot that has high reviews and even a waiting list. We tried to walk in buy due to all the reservations we were turned away because they couldn't accommodate it. Right as we were entering our vehicles the manager chased us down and made arrangements for us so I was pleased. We started with the calamari appetizer that was okay. Then I had a lemon drop martini that was decent. The food was bland and the server was not attentive. I think the food might be okay if you haven't tried authentic Italian food but I was quite disappointed for the price.

Reservations recommended. This place is in a strip mall and easy to miss. I had passed by many times without noticing it. Atmosphere is cozy, food is good & everyone worked together to ensure used dishes were removed, bread replaced, and drinks filled. Our party of two agreed: we'd return and reorder the same dishes. See pics.

My friends and I celebrated 6 birthdays at Pasto Italiano last night and everything from the food to the service was nothing short of amazing. This was not my first time there but I had the best entree there I have ever tried. Wowee!! So good. I had the special which was grouper with veggies and cream sauce. Our waitress was very patient with all of us yakkity ladies and provided excellent service. The place is not real big and they accommodated us with a great spot. We will definitely be going back for more celebrations!!! By the way, Pasto Italiano is THEE best Italian restaurant in Westfield!!!
