Yummy Cheese Pasta — Restaurant in New York

As a huge pasta lover—especially for Alfredo fettuccine which I make a lot at home—I was really excited to check out Yummy Cheese Pasta. The place is neat and the staff super friendly, but the pasta was a bit of a letdown.

I ordered the basic fettuccine with olive oil, added some extra mushrooms, and topped it with the Yummy sauce. But the pasta felt more like something from a noodle joint in Northern China (but also much worse than those, Chinese noodles are very good actually)—soft, chewy, and kinda wrinkly, not what you’d expect from good pasta made with semolina or 00 flour. And I noticed them carrying a huge bag of all-purpose flour to the kitchen, so that explains the texture.

The real bummer was how bland it was. There was hardly any cheese flavor, which is usually the heart of any great pasta dish. Plus, I couldn’t taste the butter at all, and the lack of herbs and black pepper really made the dish feel flat. Without those, you lose all the depth and those punchy flavors that make pasta pop. The olive oil I asked for? Couldn’t taste the spiciness of good olive oil either. Even the mushrooms were just so so.

On our recent trip to NYC, my wife and I noticed a new addition to the Hell's Kitchen food scene, Yummy Cheese Pasta on 9th Avenue (between 47th and 48th). This is one of those places that cooks your pasta in a large parmesan bowl you may have seen on social media.

On this trip, we passed Yummy before attending a Broadway show and thought it might be a nice bite to hold us over since we were planning on eating a late dinner after the show. We split the Classic Alfredo, a bargain at just under $10. The pasta was fresh and cooked al dente. The sauce was cheesy goodness and obviously quality. We were pleasantly surprised at the portion size, more than enough to share. The place was clean and the folks behind the counter were friendly. We'll definitely be back and check out the different toppings and other sauces, which all looked good as we saw them prepare other orders. Wish this place nothing but success. Definitely a welcome addition to the...
