The Corcoran GroupSeptember 23, 2011Fresh, made-to-order, pastas, pizzas and salads. Each diner has their own “chip card” to order and pay for their food. Don’t lose it. Try the Shrimp & Pancetta with White Wine Sauce.
Ariel McMillanJuly 16, 2012The specialty cocktails here are to die for. My favorite is the Hugo which is a wonderful mix of prosecco, lime, and mint with a splash elderflower syrup that adds the right amount of sweetness.
Ricardo TollerMay 1, 2013What's so amazing about this place is that Vapiano takes care of every tiny detail to keep all their locations on the same concept. From their menu to the gummy bears! It's always a great experience.
Raphael LangenscheidtOctober 12, 2015Italian deliciousness and German efficiency. What's not to love? Fusilli with beef, arugula and white wine sauce are great. Perfect for groups. Skip dating here - it's too loud and too fast.
Tara DograAugust 20, 2017Good quality pizza and pasta. Very reasonably priced given the portion size. If you are going as a group however, do not expect food to arrive at the same time. The pizza takes a while.
Tania PlateroMarch 17, 2018Risotto ai funghi with a glass of wine, so good and delicious, panna cotta for dessert was the best choice, light and flavorful
- Lily FAugust 26, 2015Love that you can customize your pasta as you would like it but choose your line well, some cooks are incredibly slow and don't use enough ingredients. Try and find the lead chef to cook your pasta.
Roniel TesslerJune 14, 2015A great choice if you're looking for a non pretentious, lively place to get food with a large or small group and have alcohol with your meal. Still a bit pricey considering you're your own waiter.
Flavia SignoriSeptember 14, 2012My favorite pasta place in NYC! Really! It's delicious and they prepare it fast! When you're in a hurry but wants to sit down and eat, that's the place. I recommend pasta with Alfreado sauce <3- DoubleDeuceAugust 3, 2018It's weird that you have to carry around the silly card for everything...and they put out a tip jar at the bar and you can tip when you pay...BUT...the gummi bears at the end are nice.
Sonny DatoyOctober 27, 2013fresh food. great for groups. herbs (plants) are by the wall next to the bar. also head to the bar to get free soda refills. lastly, no trash bins- they clean up after you.
Akshay PatilMarch 19, 2018The have good Ravioli and Pastas. Also, it is fun to see your food being made right in front of you.
Kay TApril 3, 2013As usual, great atmosphere, but long wait. The plants all over the place are cool (and edible... tchhhh!) Fair portions, fair prices. Very packed in the evening. Overall - very cozy!
P FSeptember 12, 2012Always had the pizza or a salad. Today I had a fresh made pasta dish. Scampi e Spinach. You choose which type of pasta. I went with tagliatelle. Delish!!! Great lunch.
Yesenia AmparoOctober 2, 2012I think this place is perfect place for a first date...reasonable prices...pasta is def good...and the lines move pretty quick on a busy day..however goose luck with finding a seat !- Tania PlateroApril 15, 2019Best I’ve tried so far in NYC, seasoned to your taste, very friendly staff and delicious desserts!
Great space, lots of seating and the meals can easily be split between two girls. Love the basil potted plants throughout the place. For a light pasta, try the aglio e olio with wheat and no cheese
Archana ManiSeptember 18, 2017Always love the ambiance. Their specials are always surprising. I recently had the Shaghai pasta and it was so good even for leftovers.- Nate FolkertMarch 21, 2015fusilli bolognese with Italian sausage, medium spicy, a little minced garlic, and shaved parmesan cheese
This is my go to place for great and well priced pasta with a comfortable ambience. Not too loud and great for dinners.
HashtagNYUApril 14, 2017Vapiano’s unique cafeteria-chic atmosphere is perfect for an affordable night out, and their homemade pasta is hard to beat.- Fahmida AApril 5, 2015I LOVEEEE this place! For halal eaters, I recommend the shrimp scampi & ravioli ricotta e spinaci. Very good. I love their service.
- Manasi GandotraFebruary 27, 2015My most favourite italian spot in the city! Try the scampi with spinach(has an italian name) and also the pesto! Delicious!!!
Gonzalo FiorinaDecember 12, 2014Nice place overall, but it was hard to get a table and the lines were crazy. Make sure of what to order and mind the lines to make it quicker.- Chelsea FelinDecember 30, 2014I actually had the shrimp pasta with penne. It was covered in a nice creamy sauce. Delicious! Plus it's a great serving.
Maria KlockareAugust 5, 2013One of my all time favourite restaurants. GREAT food to a good price! I usually get the pesto e spinaci with scampi! Yuuuum
Cole KennedyMay 30, 2015The BBQ chicken pizza was a better-than-expected lunch; relatively inexpensive too.
Sara 🌈⚔🍾October 22, 2016Really yummy pizza and deserts. Great happy hour specials on beer, wine and some cocktails.
Big choice of macs🍝 tasty soups and salads. Pizza 🍕 here is very tasty
Made to order pasta, cafeteria style. Get a glass of the house red (montepulciano) as well - cheap and tasty.
msMarch 11, 2015Like an upscale food court where noodles and ingredients are fresh and delicious. Also the bread is heavenly
Jane EyreFebruary 24, 2014The pasta is cooked before you, great concept. The setting is community-like with a modern atmosphere. You will love it!
Brett ChamberlinOctober 6, 2010Great for large groups - makes splitting a bill a dream. Don't forget to ask for bread, and grab a basil or rosemary plant to bring to your table. Great for ambiance and garnish!
TeresaNovember 3, 2015Great place for a variety of pasta, pizza and salad options. The price is very reasonable too.
Jim FollettApril 18, 2011Very creative concept - you order what you want at the different stations and they make it in front of you. Good food - reasonably priced - first outlet in NYC.
Amber is the best bartender you'll ever meet. Not only is she really hot, but she also makes a killer Sangria and a sweet tea vodka concoction. 15 out of 10!!!
Llira LandiApril 28, 2018If you like making a long line to get salty uncocked pasta not find a table utensils to eat with then this is your place.when I go to a restaurant I like to be serve food wasn’t even good
Their house sauv blanc is very good and bartenders have a heavy hand if you're friendly
Cool concept but on a sat night it was hot and crowded making it hard to find a table...however the food is outstanding! The bread is a must!
Both the Carbonara and bruscetta pizza are delicious! Great place for groups. cool concept - love that you can actually see what's being cooked. Staff are super friendly too!
Kara TJanuary 28, 2017An interesting mix of gourmet-cafeteria-made to order pasta/pizza place. Good at what it does and great for groups!
Kaitlyn PezikMay 30, 2015gets super crowded during lunch and dinner but definitely worth it, always do the pasta line!
Terence PopeNovember 3, 2014Chicken salad and all the pasta dishes. . Over all this is a wonderful place to have dinner
David SilverMarch 2, 2013Interesting place for some good pasta. Really shocking how good the food was. But whatever you do, avoid the aperol spritz!- Love the ambience! I go for the spinach pesto pizza :-)
