3.0 of 5 stars. I probably would have enjoyed Pasta E Basta better had I not been comparing it to one of my favorite local Italian places, Viva Fresh Pasta in Northampton. They both have a cheap pick a pasta and...

Yelp.com Review - by Vilay S.

3.0 of 5 stars. The food is average, cheap, and in huge portions, but that doesn't necessarily warrant 5 stars. I really like garlic, but Pasta E Basta uses it wrecklessly. More does not equal better! Also, every...

Amherst or Italy?
