Forma Pasta Factory

Cute little restaurant with indoors and outdoor seating. The pasta is fresh and delicious. Ordered the bolognese as my main and the eggplant as my appetizer. Both were phenomenal. The meatballs looked good too, would try them next time.

Forma Pasta is still one of my favorite pasta spots, and the fresh pasta never disappoints. But I have to admit, I'm heartbroken that the tomato soup is gone. It used to be my absolute favorite thing on the menu and honestly one of the reasons I kept coming back.

This is a dope walk-in spot where you can truly taste the quality of deliciously fresh, handmade pasta. Every dish is cooked perfectly al dente and paired with sauces that are absolutely delectable. The environment is chill, making it ideal for a relaxed date or a quick bite to eat. The staff is friendly and attentive, ensuring the entire experience is seamless. It’s easily some of the best handmade pasta you can find without needing a formal reservation.

My boyfriend and I come here quite often. Service is always super fast and the staff is very friendly. Forma is everything that you could want out of a small, casual pasta spot. Serving sizes are on spot every time, I finish every last bite feeling perfectly full. Pasta is always cooked to perfection AND their sauces are so amazing. I am a HUGE fan of spicy vodka and no one does it like Forma. Genuinely have not found another place that compares, we always find our way back here. Affordable pricing for the quality of food that you’re getting! Hands down one of my favorite spots!

Late fall and winter is the best time because they have their tomatoe soup! I usually frequent the other location, but this one is just as good as the other one. I appreciate their constant quality of food. Definitely never disappointed when I eat here.

Affordable and delicious pasta but buckle up friends no tip means you gotta do it by yourself 🤞 Be brave when you’re looking for the table; took me almost 10 minutes to get one and there’s no server so GOOD LUCK. I wish they had cold water too, but al least they have room temp water. Aranchini was EXCELLENT. Spicy aloli tasted great with nice amount of heat and aranchini was crispy and creamy. All of their pasta was very delicious and they know what they’re doing bc pasta is perfectly al dente and sauces also taste great. Portion size is also decent, but its goona be hard to finish if you nibble on their focaccia too much;bc their focaccia is DELICIOUS. Springy texture with amazing olive oil taste, YUM. I jsut have awesome memories from this place and can’t wait to go back.

Great food. Inside is a tight squeeze and you may have to wait for someone to get up to get a seat but other then that no complaints. Get a seat every time I go.

$14 PASTA! The food here is extremely fresh. The pasta is handmade and tastes so good. The service is great and the staff is very knowledgeable. I love the ambiance of the restaurant, very simple and sunny.

Excellent pasta dishes perfectly cooked al dente with delicious sauce and a nice piece of focaccia. Reasonable prices and friendly service. Very narrow interior, small tables. Good for a quick bite, you will not be disappointed. Looks like a lot of people order delivery from here since there were quite a few DoorDash staff picking up, but I think the quality would degrade if you don’t get it fresh from the kitchen so I recommend eating in if you can. If the weather is good, they have a couple of tables outdoors in front or you can sit in the public space on the other side of the sidewalk. Recommend!

Tasty !! Pasta cooked to perfection. It wasnt expensive at all to begin with and they even have lunch set special at $17 !!<br><br>They also have a daily special pasta besides the regulars on offer. Save the ciabatta for the end to sop ur plate clean, scarpetta !!<br><br>Came on a friday afternoon, no waiting line but busy.

$14 hand-pulled pasta. Expected them to be basic, but this ended up being better than a lot of the pasta I’ve had in Little Italy (NYC) and the North End (Boston).<br><br>The shop was packed when we came in late Sunday afternoon, so we grabbed counter seats instead of waiting for a table. Tiny space at the counter (had to keep my elbows tucked in the whole time) but worth the hassle. Everything was made from scratch, and the pasta had that perfect hand-pulled chew and was cooked spot-on al dente. Both the pipiette ragu and the lasagna were fantastic, and even the small sides like the arancini and meatballs were great.<br><br>Arancini – Tiniest arancini I’ve ever seen. Traps less heat, so it was much easier to eat without getting mouth burns.<br><br>Meatballs – Listed as beef, but tasted more like a pork–veal mix. Texture was more sausage-like than typical ground beef meatballs, but it was still juicy and flavorful.<br><br>Pipiette Ragu – Very nice pork flavors, which I loved. Might feel slightly redundant if you also get the meatballs, but the white wine and herbs gave it a cleaner, lighter pork flavor without any of that lingering pork funk you sometimes get.<br><br>Lasagna (Daily Special) – Loved the integration of eggplant here. The top layer was crisped beautifully, which added a smoky edge, and instead of drowning everything in tomato ragu, they served it with just enough sauce underneath. Definitely had meat in it, but the layering was light enough that you could still taste the vegetables and pasta instead of just sauce.

Has one of the best meals in my time in New York here. Delicious food that use classic flavours and seasonal ingredients. Short menu with a good selection.<br><br>We got the scampi, the vegetable lasagna and the broccolini, and they served us two complimentary portions of foccasia. The scampi was abundant, the lasagna had robust and the broccolini was bright. All three dishes were perfectly cooked and had amazing depth of flavour without being too rich and heavy, with no cream used. The broccolini was bright and acidic with sweet, caramelised onions and garlic.<br><br>Loved it and cannot wait to eat here again. The place was casual and we sat outside. The service was quick, accommodating and polite.

Fresh pasta, self service. we had the Forma house salad, puttanesca, Scampi, Penne in vodka sauce. excellent experience. would go back.

I have eaten here many times as you can tell by the amount of pictures I have of the pasta. It’s my favorite pasta place in the city and it’s so affordable too! My favorite is the gemelli pesto and the spicy rigatoni, also! The scampi is DIVINE. This place has my heart, ever since I found it on tik tok and a plate was just $12.

It's definitely one of my favorite pasta places. The portions are perfect, the pasta is fresh, and I never know what to eat because I have to try everything. The focaccia was delicious, and I love the meatballs. A nice place to share with friends.
