New face in an old place. Much needed elevated dining. Very warm ambiance. Very tiny space, but they make the best of it. It states a 2-hour seating time in the menu. Single bathroom rooms him/hers. Plenty of parking. Small bar top. Accommodating to food allergies. Menu was excellent. Very fresh. Very reasonable as expected, pricing for the environment. Large portions on apps and main entrees. Food was truly as described. Fresh bread on the table before dinner. It was cold. Definitely could have been warm to feel a little better on the table, in the hand. Slice of butter was a large flat unique square, however that could have been a little more fun for the holidays. Appetizers were fantastic. Unique and classics available. Dessert was unique – multiple choices. Lemoncello parfait. Wine, small but nice selection. Wait staff was attentive, funny, and kind. They need dessert spoons wink, wink. If one is going to serve a champagne style dessert, the customer needs to get to the bottom of it. Can’t wait to come back!

Trying to be fair and equitable here. First time here at this establishment. Very small with limited seating inside and out but food was very good ( quality & presentation), however service could have been better. Waiting time for drinks after initial order was longer than expected. Maybe they were understaffed. Not going to beat up this establishment understanding the current workforce shortages but that’s why I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars. Other than that , a good eatery.

I am almost speechless. That was by far one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had. The food was outstanding. The service was amazing. The best Italian food in the Capital Region. The seafood, burrata, proscuitto (cut right in front of you), everything, was SO fresh. Make a reservation and go here. I cannot wait to go back!

After seeing all of these good reviews we were excited to try this place. Unfortunately, I was disappointed to say the least. While my meal was OK , my one daughters chicken parm was over cooked and my wife and other daughter decided to order off menu and got spaghetti pomodoro, a very simple dish to make. Both sent it back due to tasting nothing but garlic. In addition, the shisito peppers we ordered were undercooked with no flavor. I am Italian and know good Italian food and maybe they were off that night but it was not good. Also it was extremely loud in there since it is small.

The food is great Italian. The service is attentive. However, the restaurant is small and is very popular so it is a bit noisy. Be advised that there are two sittings, 5pm and 7 pm. The wine list consists of imports from various Italian regions. I would suggest making a reservation.

Just ate at Pastina for first time after they moved from Albany to Delmar. Patio wasn’t open for the season yet but they seated us outside anyway on a beautiful evening. Appetizers, meal and dessert were all great and I’ll definitely be back.

I took my boyfriend here randomly and that was the best decision ever. Extremely small and fully packed so we knew the food was going to be amazing from the second we walked in. Friendly staff. Amazingly fresh tasting ingredients and flavors out of this world. Nice ambiance dimly lit. Romantic A hidden gem. I texted all my family members to go there ASAP. My mom booked for the next night. WONDERFUL!

After being referred to go by friends, we were real excited to try an Italian restaurant that’s in town. We were disappointed. Pros, we had a reservation and sat right down. The burrata was delicious and they had a good wine list. Cons, we didn’t like either veal entree we had. Milanese (one of my favorite meals) was soggy but tender. Pan roasted veal was overly fatty. Pasta was over cooked and too soft. Dinners and pasta just weren’t good or good enough. We really wanted to have a good experience. Hope we just had bad servings.

We had an excellent meal at Pastina last night. Calamari with currants and mushroom polenta apps were both delicious (we wanted to lick the sauce out of the polenta bowl) and my zuppe di pesce was great with a light and flavorful tomato based sauce and an entire lobster tail… finished off with yummy desserts… highly recommend and we will be back!

So very delicious. Love the vibe. Food Atmosphere Hospitality is like when you were a kid at grandma’s for Sunday dinner.
