Some of our favorite dishes at Pasta Eater are the burnt-wheat cavatelli and the Roman rigatoni alla carbonara. The Sicilian paccheri and tagghiarini is even served in a wheel of cheese.

Chef Priola is in charge of making the pasta. Chef Cetrulo cooks it. It’s a delineation of labor that bears serious fruits.

While in Manhattan, we think it’s worth taking in a meal at Pasta Eater. We doubt many diners will be disappointed by the restaurant’s perfect combination of food and ambience. Also in Manhattan lies one of the world’s largest department stores, which is also worth checking out! And for those looking for a place to stay in New York City, we recommend Crowne Plaza Times Square.
