New Italian restaurant La Pastaia is now open in Bay Park, with handmade pasta and other Italian dishes. La Pastaia opened Monday, June 5 at 3055 Clairemont Drive. La Pastaia serves a variety of Italian dishes like pizzas and antipasti, but the focus is on the pastas, which are all made in-house.

There are two dishes served from cheese wheels (fettucini with truffles and mushrooms served in a Parmesan wheel and busiate cacio e pepe served in a pecorino wheel), as well as fresh and filled pastas. The restaurant also serves breakfast and brunch, with pink-tinged dishes like pancakes with strawberries and mascarpone cream and eggs Benedict. La Pastaia also has a full bar.
