FN Pasta Fresca

La Pasta Fresco is on the new upper floor of the historic Mercato Centrale, one of our favorite places to shop for fresh foods and to grab a beautiful, everyday meal. Sadly, La Pasta Fresca is a tremendous disappointment.
Bar none, the worst gnocchi we’ve ever had, including packaged or frozen varieties. It was heavy and gummy, with none of the counter-​intuitive lightness that one experiences as the potato-​laden pasta melts in your mouth. The sauce contributed nothing good, but instead worsened the experience with unbalanced acidity and heavy oregano. This was inferior pizza sauce trying to pass as a pasta sauce.
Adding insult to injury, this offensive lunch is overpriced at E8.00
Stick with tradition and grab your lunch at one of the well established, well worn ‘joints’ on the lower level.
