Excellent from the beginning to the end. The atmosphere is dark, trendy and romantic. We had the charred romane salad bolognese, linguine with clams. Tiramisu for dessert and the strawberry gelato. Everything was perfect.

It was a raining winter night and we got soaked paying for parking ..... hmmm was it worth it? Well I started with a bowl of white bean soup and should've ordered a VAT! Delicious and warmed me right up....or maybe that was the table next to me (right next to me) - If you like space make sure you ask for a table in the main restaurant not as you come in but on a cold winter night there is nothing like soup and table aide company! Bread was A+ I'll be back in the summer and let you know... but definitely worth a trip! Right GG?!

Pasta Beach might just be the top restaurant in Newport. Every dish we tried was fresh and absolutely delicious. Make sure to order the Nutella pizza for dessert; it's a must-try! Beyond the food, the ambiance is charming and very cozy.

Pasta Beach was an exceptional restaurant. It has a perfect location for exposure to visitors, it has a large indoor seating area, I love the welcoming atmosphere and.... during the warmer months...they have a beautifully aestetic outdoor seating area. Let me start by saying how much we enjoyed our server, Nicole. From start to finish, she was attentive, helpful, resourceful with local attraction recommendations, and always displayed a genuine smile. My drink was the Sugar and Spice (Shipwreck Spiced Rum, Liquor 43, Mint, and Lime). This drink was amazing, deliciously sweet, loved the sugar rim, and highly recommended. The appetizer was Polpette (Beef and pork meatballs, tomato sauce, parmesan cheese). The meatballs were pleasantly tender and the sweet sauce enveloped every bite with deliciousness. Each entree was award winning, presented at the optimal temperature, and perfectly seasoned: Margherita Pizza and the Tagliatelle (substituted with rigatoni) Funghi. This dish included champignon mushrooms, garlic, cream, and parsley. The dessert was mouth watering...Coppa Straciatella (Chocolate chip gelato swirled together with chocolate syrup, topped with cocoa powder and hazelnuts). I enjoyed this dessert and every spoonful was an adventure. Going from the powdery top layer, working to the creamy gelato center, and finishing with the syrupy chocolate bottom, was exquisite and hope that everyone gets to experience this exceptional final course. Once again, I have entered a restroom that deserves kudos. The nautical decor was innovative and the cleanliness speaks volumes for the beauty of the entire restaurant. Thank you, Pasta Beach, for a memorable meal. I look forward to returning during the warmer months and I highly recommend it to every Yelper.

The food was delicious, the espresso martinis were probably the best I've ever had and the service was outstanding. Highly recommend!

Pasta Beach Newport makes Rhode Island pizza that tastes like Manhattan-style pizza. Delicious Margherita pizza with extra sauce and roasted garlic with a golden, crispy thin crust - you can't beat it, hitting all high cues. Pizza sauce is the crown jewel of pizzas, and Pasta Beach Newport could use a richer, more explosively flavorful sauce, recalling celebrated consistency of Rao's Sauces, with straight up saucy flavor.

We were seated outdoors in the back, a really nice garden. We ordered the Mezze Maniche Carbonara (with bacon) and Chitarra con l'Aragosta (lobster with linguine). Both dishes were great. The pasta was cooked to perfectly al dente. Very flavorful.

The Pasta Beach was an excellent choice for our lunch. The interior was beautiful and there was also a very nice secluded courtyard. We chose the courtyard. Our server was very friendly and attentive. I was impressed by this as our order was small. We split a margarita pizza and it was very tasty. My only surprise was a 2% kitchen apprehension fee added to the check. I assume this was a tip shared by kitchen staff. I would enjoy going back and trying a pasta dish.

Pasta Beach was on my list during a weekend trip to Rhode Island. We were seated in a cozy booth by the bar. I loved the low lighting ambiance, it was definitely romantic. We received complementary bread and ordered cacio e Pepe and arrabbiata pasta as our entrees. Both plates were wiped clean! Both were flavorful, hearty, and had a nice spice kick. We ordered tiramisu as dessert which didn't disappoint!

Dropped by for a birthday dinner with some friends, table of 6. Restaurant was pretty packed (Saturday at 6:30 ish) we had a reservation so were promptly seated. Parking is street and nearby lot parking which fills up pretty quickly. Food wise the lasagna was said to be solid so a few ordered that along with a cacio e Pepe and one of the carbonara dishes. We ordered the calamari and the fried provolone with hot honey (we ended up ordering a second round.) Drinks I can only speak to mine I went for the Club Italian which was refreshing, and well balanced. Would recommend! The dishes we tried were all equally flavorful, and ample serving sizes. The pasta was perfectly elegant dente. I would say at first glance the cacio e Pepe seemed like they put store bought shredded cheese but overall taste was great and perfectly cooked. I had a bite of the lasagna which was good and definitely shareable unless you're really hungry :) Staff was nice, space had a nice upscale beach vibe. Pizzas seemed pretty good too large brick oven up front when you enter the restaurant. Would recommend stopping by for a drink, or food. Cute bar area as well.
