About

Pick your pasta, pick your sauce, pick your veggies, add a protein, and presto! You've got yourself #freshpastafast. We’re a fast casual Italian restaurant proudly serving our own fresh pasta- 2 ingredients, never dried, and vegan friendly with no additives or preservatives.

At PastaNito, our philosophy is that "fast food" doesn't have to mean the lifeless, sad burgers and fries that we're used to in this country. Fast food can be fresh, healthy, and vibrant. It can be made in a saute pan just for you, and not held for hours under a heat lamp. It can fill both body and soul and should be enjoyed both between meetings or over quality time with the family.
