About the place

The dough is kneaded in the morning, and the pasta is cut and filled in front of the guests at the bar facing the kitchen (the 'pasta lab'). The menu has filled pasta, which gave the place its name, carbonara, lasagne, gnocchi and a pasta of the month, plus wines and desserts.

The place is small and takes no reservations: guests are seated in turn, and at peak times you usually wait 10–20 minutes. It is on a short street between Piața Unirii and Piața Muzeului. It holds 4.8 on Google from 3,903 reviews and 4.7 on TripAdvisor from 429.

Good to know

  • No reservations; come just after 12:00 to avoid waiting.
  • The seats at the bar in front of the kitchen fill up first.
