Reviews Fiaschetteria Pistoia

This place was waouhhh !! We were a group of 8 and decided to try pretty much everything on the menu. Our favorite pastas were the SPAGHETTI CON POMAROLA, PAPPARDELLE AL RAGU, TAGLIATELLA AL TARTUFO, and TAGLIOLINI AL PESTO (special). For desert would recommend the panna cotta but tiramisu was hype. Everything we ate was delicious and service was great :)

Good spot for Italian eats with indoor and outdoor seating. Notably, the pasta with truffle and the spaghetti with clams were memorable. Also really liked the pork shoulder and zucchini flan appetizers.

I got Tagliatelle al Tartufo which is egg pasta with truffle sauce. The pasta was simply delicious. For dessert we got tiramisu and panna cotta. Panna cotta was silky, creamy, and beautifully presented, it was a delightful finale to an already impressive meal. The balance of sweetness and the velvety texture made it a standout dessert.

service is insane! so good! the food off the charts good - the tagliatelle and shaved truffle pasta is flavorful and rich. you don't get a ton of food but that's okay i hate feeling super stuffed after an italian meal. the service is on point, prompt and attentive.

My big homie took me here, so I came in a little nervous! We came in with no res but were seated immediately. The interior of this place feels as if it has been transported straight from Tuscany, which I mean it probably has. Echoing other reviews, it is intimate and charming. Another great date spot fellas ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ The wine situation is really cool, as the have the bottles right there next to your table and you get to pick from there. The big homie ordered a Chianti for us both, as he said this is local to the region of central Tuscany. He knows his wines. He texted me the following: "That particular Chianti was high in tannins and I'd guessed oaked for about 13-15 months. It resulted in a medium-bodied wine with notable earthy and rustic aromas. The flavor notes most prominent were cherry, strawberry, dried herbs, balsamic vinegar, and smoke." For food, we ordered the prosciutto and both got the Pappardelle Al Cervo (Venison Ragu) as it was a special. The Prosciutto was FANTASTIC, probably some of the best I've had in the city. The pasta was delicious, as you could taste the freshness of the homemade noodles. However, my only complaint was that it was a bit small of a portion size and really didn't fill me up at all. My big bro echoed the same, and we each went and got 2 slices of pizza after.

@netgonenutsforfood One of my favorite no frills pasta places to date - ⭐️ ⭐️Get the house wine. You just can’t beat the price for quantity and overall experience. Half a liter of white for $22 say what 🤯 ⭐️ ⭐️Truffle pasta was absolutely 🤩 just the right amount. Truffle is shaved front of you🤤 ⭐️Cacio e Pepe was good, though a bit too strong for me. Reminds me of Misi’s cheese combo in their version, but lighter ⭐️Ragu parpadelle: good but nothing memorable ⭐️Tiramisu: Great for rounding off the meal, not too sweet. P.S. East Village branch takes reservations but not the one in West Village so plan accordingly 😶

there are three main things to keep in mind upon visiting Fiachetteria “Pistoia” and that’s very noisy, servers with a very strong European accents (only mentioning this because of the difficulty of ordering/ understanding the servers with all the noise), and the best homemade pasta in the City. I was in love with being able to see the pasta being made and just the overall ambience of the restaurant was somehow comforting. I was in a gnocchi mood, so of course I ended up ordering the gnocchi in a very light tomato sauce. Out of all the dishes that our group ordered mine was definitely the most underwhelming for $24 you’re just getting homemade gnocchi with red sauce. I would highly highly highly recommend on getting any of the other dishes on the list because all of the others were definitely worth the price because at least they included some thing other than just pasta and sauce. definitely a must if you are a pasta enthusiast!!!! I guess one more thing I would like to add is their wine selection is very limited.

The food is pretty simple but the quality of the ingredients are incredible. I ordered the tomato/basil soup to start. I'm sorry I didn't take a picture of it but it was absolutely delicious. Imagine a tomato soup that is completely reduced. There was literally no liquid sitting at the bottom. Almost like it was left of the stove for too long. But that was the idea and it worked extremely well. I enjoyed every single bite. My girlfriend ordered the zucchini flan to start. She didn't really enjoy it too much but I thought it was good. This appeared to be one of the more complex dishes on the menu. This was a soft and creamy appetizer that melts in your mouth with a nice Parmesan flavor. The consistency/texture was similar to a quiche. Maybe only a little softer. For my main dish, I chose the Cacio de Pepe. I've never tried it before mainly because I prefer other cuisines other than Italian and I haven't gotten around to trying it. I know at this point it's probably considered an overrated dish for some, but it was very tasty and creamy. Think of Pasta Alfredo only MUCH better and with handmade Spaghetti. This was also a very peppery dish (loaded with black pepper). I love black pepper but this may be too peppery for some of you non-pepper lovers. My girlfriend tried the Tagliatelli Tartufo which was the homemade egg pasta with truffle. I definitely recommend this dish but only if you like a nice, strong truffle flavor. It was rich and creamy. I honestly would probably get this dish if I were to ever visit again. For dessert, we shared the tirasmisu and the pannacotta. The tiramisu, which was served in a coffee much, was light and creamy. The pannacotta was my favorite. It was perfectly gelantized and served with a berry compote. The service was good. The restaurant was very busy so the servers and bus boys were clearly rushing in and out (we sat in tent outside). It was a Friday night so I completely understand. The waiters were very nice. The downside about this restaurant is that portion sizes are pretty small. If you are only going for entrees, you may find yourself 7th street burger afterwards. However after 3 courses and a few glasses of wine, and maybe 20 minutes, I felt pretty satisfied. Overall, I rate this place a 7.5 out of 10. 2 appetizers, 2 mains, and 2 desserts + 1 bottle of Chianti + Tip came out to $111.5/person. I'm not sure if I will go out of my way to come back here but it's a nice place for a date night for sure. Enjoy!

Wonderful handmade, authentic pastas and good wine rec by our waiter. Cozy vibes. I called 5 days before and got a reservation for our party of 7 on a Saturday evening.
