Pasta Armellino - Saratoga

Permanently closed in Saratoga. Very misleading because the yelp said that it's four stars, but there's a big step ladder in the middle of the window with nothing inside, except for white paint sheets

This location is closed. (As of mid October 2023) Looking forward to trying another location.

I must unequivocally affirm the sheer delight of dining at Pasta Armellino. The pasta, cooked to al dente perfection, speaks to the culinary prowess of the chef. The sauces, crafted with authenticity and thoughtfulness, unleash an explosion of flavors. It's rumored that the chef behind this culinary marvel hails from the prestigious kitchens of Plumed Horse and Gramercy. After experiencing this pasta firsthand, I can confidently declare it as the epitome of pasta perfection. Without a doubt, this is the finest pasta I've ever had!

I had an extremely disappointing experience at this restaurant. The pasta I ordered had an overpowering alcoholic taste and made the pasta bitter, indicating that the wine wasn't properly evaporated during cooking, and it was not even mentioned on the menu that this dish contain alcohol. When I requested a refire, the waiter claimed that he can't taste any alcohol. However, the refired dish without alcohol has a totally different taste. His word is not that convincing to me. To make matters worse, I found a short hair in my second pasta, and it definitely wasn't mine since my hair is way longer. When I brought this to the waiter's attention, he refused to remove the pasta from the bill, citing that I had eaten half of both pasta. While I'm not concerned about the money, the attitude towards customers was truly disappointing.
