Introducing Pastini's Fresh New Menu

We've just launched the New Pastini Menu with ideas as fresh as the ingredients. For starters, try the new Pesto-Parmesan Bread, it’s absolutely addictive! Six new pastas, starting at only $6.95, mean something scrumptious for everyone's pasta partialities. And for a great new side dish, there's a delicious Vegetable Saute you will love. Also, because you've asked for more healthy kid's choices, we've added a Kid's Small Salad and Kid's Broccolini. Finally, Pastini's gluten intolerant fans will be thrilled with our decadent Gluten-Free Tiramisu.

The new pastas include:
Linguini with Basil Pesto starring fresh summer basil, Mamma's Four Cheese Ziti, Orecchiete with Greens, Lemon and Parmesan (a light summery pasta), Baked Tortellini with Shrimp in a pomodoro cream sauce, Spaghetti and Spicy Sausage and Aunt Lucia’s Feast Day Rigatoni, a rich and elegant dish with leeks, mushrooms, chicken and fontina cheese.

There's also our exciting new Chalkboard Pasta Specials, two tempting pastas from Chef/Co-owner Craig Bashel that will change seasonally. We think you will love our new dishes and invite you to come in soon to try them.
