Influenced by the original 1950s concept at a Tokyo restaurant, Kabenoana – meaning “hole in the wall” – we brought Wafu Italian to you in New York, Miami, and Los Angeles as pastaRAMEN, an invite-only omakase meal in luxe and elusive pop-up settings. Now that we have shown pastaRamen off to the country, we are thrilled to reintroduce the concept as an elegant Italian ramen shop in the streets of Montclair, New Jersey.
pastaRAMEN, the first-ever Italian ramen shop, is a perfect marriage of Japanese and Italian culture and cuisine. Sensational and sacred, it blends meticulous techniques and deep flavors for an umami-rich taste, as strong as the love for an Italian grandmother’s rustic cooking.
Based on 295 reviews, the restaurant has received a rating of 4.2 stars. Price

Incredible experience. I get the hype behind this place. Reservations are slightly tough to come across but once I added myself to the notify me list, several reservations popped up within days. The service was wonderful with our waitress taking the time to go over the entire menu in detail. Food was quick to arrive. Taste was out of this world. I definitely recommend and can’t wait to go back to try more of the menu.

Next level professional Ramen. I am completely blown away by the food here and I now understand why it took 2 months to get a reservation. The Japanese Italian fusion food is beyond amazing. Every dish is well thought out and every ingredient pairs perfectly with the next. Everything from the calamari to the shrimp scampi Ramen is delicious. The veal scallopini is to die for. Also the house special hot tea is amazing. The restaurant is not that big and they pack it everyday and night. Service is fast and friendly. BYOB is perfect.

Pasta Ramen is an awesome culinary experience. As the world’s first-ever Italian Ramen spot, is truly does represent a perfect blend of Japanese and Italian cuisine. Every dish is worth a shot and none of what I had was disappointing. I went twice in one week and tried something different each time. Service was top notch and meal was well crafted.

I have mixed feelings on this place. I passed by and had dinner with my spouse – I enjoyed my dinner while she didn’t at all. My ramen dish was presented to perfection and tasted great. Hers had bad presentation and wasn’t tasty at all.

Unique concept, a bit overhyped in my opinion. We snagged a last minute reservation for a Sunday at 6:30PM.

We had an awesome experience and were seriously amazed by the flavor. The place has been hyped, and a lot of times, it’s hard to live up to that, but PastaRamen did.

I was excited to get a chance to try this restaurant. When I arrived I didn’t know where the restaurant was because there was no name anywhere. When I found it I walked into a cute restaurant but it is small. I was greeted and found out my reservation wasn’t in the system so I had to wait an hour.

This place is where you want to be. Ignore any negative comments. The food is out of this world. The service is second to none. I dropped my chop stick and they were on it like crack heads on a dropped rock. Friendly. Kind. Knowledgeable staff that explain everything in depth. Hands down my new favorite!!! Mary was awesome!!! Even the bathroom has ambiance. Will be back and a lifer. Keep doing what you’re doing!!!
