What People Are Saying About Pasita
The Owner
Pasita
Owner
At Pasita, we find the best wines available from the Latin world and match them with our menu of wood-fired pizzas and Venezuelan small plates. Try a classic Margherita pizza with a glass of well-balanced Malbec from Mendoza or a latin-inspired "Ropa Vieja" pizza with a cherry red Rioja Crianza. We offer simple, fresh salads and Venezuelan "pasapalos" like corn fritters with nata cheese and guasacaca, or "empanaditas" with chicken and beef. For dessert, don't miss our pot de creme made with single-origin Venezuelan dark chocolate, a great match with a ruby malbec dessert wine from Argentina.

The Scene
Bricks line the walls, white marble tops the bar and wood fuels the main attraction: a blazing, copper-cased oven. Antique Spanish-language magazine ads hint at the Latin twist, while lingering young couples and large groups, happy for an economical night out, bring in buzz and festive energy.
The Food
The fryer gets an ample workout with Venezuelan-inspired fare like tequenos, savory fried pastry slims stuffed with oozing cheese; yucca fries, touched with a slight sweetness; and arepitas, silver dollar-sized corn cakes, terrific when dipped in the accompanying avocado spread. Though it's easy to make a meal of these snacks, be sure not to pass up the pizzas, marked by a thin, chewy, smoky crust. Toppings range from the classic (pepperoni) to the Latin-tweaked (shredded beef and manchego cheese). The chocolate plate, garnished with nuts and dried fruits, and the sorbets and gelatos from Il Laboratorio all make fitting finishes.

A friend and I stopped into Pasita to get a quick glass of wine and wound up staying for hours. The place has a relaxed fun atmosphere emphasized by Latin-inspired music and artwork. The staff is incredibly attentive and personable. Our waiter Ish was hilarious, and kept us laughing the whole night. The wine list is amazing - Del Plata Malbec is perfect if you're a red wine lover and the Verde y Blanco pizza was very tasty. Great for a night out with friends or an intimate date.

SO DELISH! Cozy brick-walled restaurant with great thin-crust pizza and very fresh starter salads. Place has lots o' character. Once in a while they run out of something on the menu but that's the only critical thing I have to say about the place. Oh and they deliver lunch!

I live nearby and walked by a bunch of times but never went in until my girlfriend suggested it. I LOVED IT! The staff is nice and helpful, and the decor is so cute--the antique painted brick, vintage chandeliers and posters are unique and fun! We split the spanish cheese plate (loved the blue cheese with honey) that came with fresh flatbread, and a delicious fresh salad with mango and grapefruit. We shared a bottle of fantastic Portuguese white wine (who knew?), recommended by the bartender. We had such a good time--and didn't break the bank either!
