HASTA LA PASTA — Restaurant in Valencia

Transport yourself to mama’s kitchen in the heart of Italy where EVERYTHING is handmade - using the freshest ingredients either from the local Mercat or straight from different regions in Italy. But...right here in Valencia Spain!!! How you ask? By simply walking to a small corner right off of the Plaza de la Virgen.

Oh my. You are in for a treat. Mix mama’s Italian kitchen with a California Food-truck vibe, add in the two most amazing young people - a couple who are authentic Italian which know their ‘stuff’ and you have the best pasta street food outside of Italy!!

Each pasta - which rotates daily - is handmade and fresh each day. Their sauces are also made with authentic Italian ingredients and recipes. They can also adjust many for vegans/vegetarians!

The menu is simple and straight forward (they also speak both languages plus Italian and I’m sure others, but I only heard these three). Printed in both Spanish & English as a board mounted in the kitchen and also on the street. As I mentioned, this is a food-truck vibe so you can order at the counter either for take-away or to sit at one of their cute wooden patio tables. Simone will also wait on you once seated.

The quality is amazing. The quantity very generous. The pasta was PERFECTLY al dente like it should be (mama would be so proud!!). Served piping hot in cute cardboard containers which can be for eating there or to take-away. A selections of cold drinks, beer, some alcohol and of course Italian espresso and coffee drinks are also offered. Desserts too, but we were too full from the pasta we chose to indulge - at least this time!

My husband had the pesto fresco with fusilli and a beer. I had the pomodoro & basilico with added chili spice on an orecchiette type pasta with a water. Both were done to perfection! We ate onsite, enjoying the seating area in the little alley street along side their corner.

And the price??? All I can say is wow! I know we will be back often!

Service was super friendly, helpful, quick and the entire experience was awesome! Maike was very busy in her little kitchen making our selections while Simone visited with us and kept the flow going nicely.

‘Hasta la Pasta’ should definitely be on your ‘must eat at in Valencia’ list. They will also make you custom pasta to go. Just let them know a few days ahead and order your FRESH and YUMMY pasta! We can’t wait to try more...and more!

Thanks Maike & Simone for a wonderful first time visit. And best of luck...

What a nice find, fresh pasta in Valencia. This is a takeout pasta place where you can pick the type of sauce you want and they pair it with fresh pasta (can't choose the type of pasta). Quality and price is outstanding. This reminds me of the fresh pasta stands in Italy, fast casual takeaway meals throughout Florence and Rome. Order your sauce, pasta is cooked to order, and they serve everything in a takeout container. There are a few seats for those who want to eat there, but the majority of people take theirs to go / or eat across the street in the piazza. The food is much higher quality than many sit down formal...

Review for middle of October 2023:

Really chatty guys, they are Italian, so you get to speak to them in Spanish, Italian and English.

Pasta is cooked on the spot and to order. Really al dente, good tasting, really fast delivery. You either get food for takeaway or you may serve it at some outdoors tables and chairs sitting in the shade.

There is no bathroom, afterwards there are some bins where you can throw away the leftover boxes and wooden forks.

Payment accepted by card also contactless or tap to pay.

I do recommend the pesto Genovese pasta...
