Pasta Louise has been a favorite of mine since they opened in 2020 The lasagna was amazing rich, comforting, and perfectly done I also tried the pasta with mushrooms (I’m a big mushroom fan) but it was a bit too heavy for me personally Still a great spot and one I keep coming back to

Fabulous food and service and atmosphere, went on a weeknight for dinner, yummy fresh pasta, had cacio de pep with shrimp and also pasta and meatballs dish. Appetizer of Brussels sprouts recommended. Cappuccinos and blood orange sorbet for dessert. Well done! Several couples and families, some with strollers also welcome. Restrooms clean.

So, so, so good. The pasta was incredible, but the ricotta focaccia completely stole the show. Absolute must-order. We had Olivia as our waitress and her attention to detail and spot-on recommendations were impeccable. Highly, highly recommend.

Meatballs sauce w excellent n sausage n broccoli rabe is also very good. We sat by the bar n service was friendly, attentive n courteous. Will definitely come back.

Charming and welcoming space…every occupied table had that vibe that they were regulars. You know…that easy energy…sipping their glasses and picking at their plate. My family of 5 were there for a late lunch. Welcomed by plenty of sunshine through the windows as well as the staff. Our experience started with the lovely focaccia (both regular and seasonal) and the brussel sprouts with that balsamic reduction; moved onto pasta options (spicy red pesto, meatballs); arugula, sunshine, and farro salads rounded out our meals. Plenty to share…as we all enjoyed a bite or two from each other’s plate. So glad my family and I had a flexible moment during our stay in NYC to try this gem. Looking forward to having dinner there with old friends on our next visit!

What's going on here? The pasta was awesome. The staff actually knows about food. The space is super charming. FYI - While the pasta was seasonal and fresh, the farro salad is totally slept on. I finished it off with a cup full of tiramisu and a second negorni. Rock on Louise. See you soon.

Had a lovely meal with my lovely niece here! I love that the pasta shape changes daily, thats a fun touch and I will surely be back to see what else the chef comes up with. The service was incredible as well. I unfortunately forgot the name of our waitress, she had curly hair and glasses (it might have been Sophie?), but she was an absolute delight. Took great care of us and made us feel right at home!!!

What a delicious meal! Pasta Louise may be hated on by the Park Slope community, but the daily pasta shape keeps you on your toes with fresh and flavorful sauces. The staff were incredibly friendly, and the atmosphere is what you’d expect from a place like Louise in park slope: full of children, with good vibes.

Visiting Brooklyn the evening before my half marathon, we stopped by Pasta Louise for dinner. I had booked a reservation for Friday, but as luck would have it, the two of us were seated right away as walk-ins. Quick note on parking: there is free street parking. We managed to parallel park nearby, but others may have to circle around a bit. The ambiance struck me immediately: warm, inviting, and cozy, with more seating than I expected thanks to a neat little outdoor patio. Starters: Our server pointed us to the specials, so we began with the Stracciatella focaccia (seasonal). The bread, layered with melted cheese and herbs, was excellent — quick to arrive, light but flavorful, and frankly a bit addictive. I held back after a couple of pieces, saving room for the real test: pasta. Mains: My dinner partner ordered the Spicy Red Pesto — sun-dried tomatoes, lemon zest, garlic, Calabrian chiles, sunflower seeds. No option to add shrimp, so they took it as-is. I went for the house favorite: Cacio e Pepe — cracked black pepper and salty pecorino — with burrata and arugula added on top. Both dishes looked modest in portion at first, but appearances deceived; they were filling in just the right way. I tried both but, unsurprisingly, preferred my own. The pecorino on the Cacio e Pepe carried the dish: sharp, savory, and absolutely sublime. I couldn't pin down the pasta shape — penne, or something close — but it hardly mattered. Each bite was balanced, deeply flavorful, and worth savoring. For me, this easily places in the top three Italian restaurants I've experienced. I restrained myself a little — half the burrata, a careful share of bread — mindful of the half marathon ahead the next morning. That race went spectacularly; I placed in the top 10. Pasta Louise played no small role in fueling that performance. Verdict: Pasta Louise is a gem of Brooklyn dining. Cozy atmosphere, excellent service, and pasta that borders on transcendent. I'll absolutely return when I'm back in New York, and I recommend it without hesitation to anyone in search of genuinely excellent Italian fare. Last visited: August 22, 2025
