This is my all time favorite Italian restaurant in Aberdeen, true it is small, true it has one of the smallest kitchens i have ever seen, but MAN the food they cook fresh and serve you is out of this world, Francisco and his son Christopher run the place very well and we are making a special trip to Aberdeen next week purely to visit Pasta Plus and enjoy some delicious authentic Italian food.
Impromtu visit. Only half a dozed tables , but I had arrived early before tables had gone. Bruccheta was heaped with tomato, flavoured with mild olive oil and drizzle of modena vinegar. Seafood ravioli was delicious. Both dishes were excellent. Food was washed down with perfectly acceptable glass of pignot grigio. £21 all in. Not flashy , but food definitely authentic Italian and delicious. No hesitation to go back.
Took the family - all five of us - to this tiny restaurant on Rosemount Place for dinner last night and thoroughly enjoyed it. We were greeted by the Italian owner and I felt a bit guilty as he asked a couple who had finished their meal if they were ready to leave in order to seat us.
The owner - who in his authentic accent corrected our poor attempts at Italian while ordering - was friendly and took our starters order first. Garlic bread, bruschetta, melon with Italian ham, and Caprese salad were all good - the girls especially loved the garlic bread. The wine by the glass he told us was San Genovese and was
As the restaurant name tells you, the main course is pasta - he had many specials in addition to the regular menu items. We each had a plate of penne pasta with a different topping. The Marinara had clams and prawns, my Rustica had eggplant and anchovies, my wife's Alfredo was cream based with ham delight, and the girls had simple pastas with fresh Italian sausage. The owners son, was the cook and he did a nice job in his closet sized kitchen we could see from our table.
The desserts were also good, lemoncello, cannelloni, and a chocolate ice cream with hazel nuts that was excellent.
Give this little restaurant a try when you are looking for a nice plate of pasta in a friendly - but small - place.
good food and prepare fresh
Very friendly place, food was made from scratch and to order so it was very fresh. The menu isn't too complicated but there are specials on offer.
There is also a small shop area to buy products.
Although it isn't very big it doesn't take away from the authentic experience and I would recommend anyone to visit.
Fantastic quality food and great service for a brilliant price. Great selection of dairy free options too! I will definitely be back ☺️
So far I’ve only bought produce from the deli counter which is top quality produce for sure. Will definitely be having a meal here in the near future. The service is superb. Little gem of a place 👌🏼
I shopped at the Italian delicatessen part of the restaurant. It was well stocked with cheeses and deli meats. I got mozzarella, burrata, guanciale, pepperoni, Mutti sauce and a few cannoli for desert of course. Perfect if you have an Ooni pizza oven and want to buy level-up toppings for your pizza 😉
It is always amazing. Food and service. Best italian in Aberdeen.
I'm still dreaming about the lunch I had this afternoon. What an awesome food, atmosphere and service. Will definitley recommend anybody to visit.
Very small place but it looks authentical Italian inside. Just like many would also look like in their homecountry.
The place is at is already suggests literally all about pasta as well as some starters.
The prices are very fair with about 8 pounds for a reasonable quantity and the food tastes good.
Friendly and chatty owner too which is always a plus.
Just stopped on the off chance today, amazing food and service. Great little find.
What a great wee hidden gem. Food was great, atmosphere even better. The sweetest family run place
Coziest place I've been to in Aberdeen (despite struggling to keep the cold out). I'd walk in here just to have a look around with the cupboards full of figurines, old fozographs and alike but great food and personable service is also there. Definitely will be back!
