The pasta is made fresh daily and is absolutely delicious. You can taste how fresh it is. The sauce compliments the taste of the fresh pasta.

We loved our time with the lovely owners at dinner. It is a cozy place where you could sit at the ‘bar’ and watch how to make good Al dente noodles ( proper way to make pasta which should be “just nice” and firm)!!

I randomly walked into Pasta Press when visiting Boulder. The food was INCREDIBLE. Like some of the best pasta and cookies I’ve ever had. Wow!! I’ve traveled to most every US state and almsot a dozen countries and this food is top of the line! I ordered carbonara , chocolate cookies and lemonade.

First, why spend $21 for pasta that comes on a food tray and plastic container. I much rather a plate than a flimsy piece of plastic, so wasteful. The pesto was comparable to noodles and company but I’d rather go there, you actually get some sort of veg. The pesto was water. I got pesto soup. I expect a high quality pesto that has form and flavor that stick to the noodles. Not watered down. The bread sticks were unsalted saltine crackers. I will never bring my service here again. I don’t know how they have 4.9 stars atm.

First time here and it deserves all the stars. The pasta and pomodoro sauce was *insert chef’s kiss* perfection. As a native Philadelphian, I know my pasta and sauce. No other Italian restaurant in town delivers this quality, simplicity, flavor. They got this simple dish exactly right. I read their story before I came today, and we’re lucky they opened this gem here. They gained a regular today. If you’re still reading this, put away your phone and get going, I’ll save you a spot at the community table.

I absolutely love this place! The pasta itself is fantastic. I think it’s a great, quick, affordable option in that area that isn’t tacos, burritos or bar food. I come in on my break and it’s fast and seamless, and every time I leave, I leave satisfied. The people are really friendly and nice to talk to, as well. Dining in is better than carry-out.

The ingredients were fine, fresh pasta, but the preparation was not good. The sauce was supposed to be creamy and was very watery, more like a soup. It would be nice if the staff also check with clients how it was and we could provided quick feedback.
