We ended up at Impasto after striking out at Mon Lapin, where the experience felt a bit pretentious & unwelcoming. In hindsight, we're so glad it happened because it led us here.

From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was warm, inviting, & exactly what we were looking for. The service was friendly & attentive & every dish tasted incredibly fresh.

Our standouts were the baked clam appetizer, the focaccia with whipped ricotta, the crudo with tomatoes, & both the gnocchi & the cavatelli. Every bite was memorable. They also have an excellent wine list that paired beautifully with the meal.

Sometimes the best meals happen by accident, & this was definitely one of those happy surprises. We'd come back in a heartbeat.

In town from Atlanta visiting my brother. We sat outside & had I had Uovo & Gnocchi with dry white wine & it was just superb. I was talking quietly about what I was going to have & when the waiter arrived he'd quietly picked it all up already & knew everything perfectly. Pretty special.

Food doesn't match the price point. It's not bad but not amazing either. The service is fast & the atmosphere is quite nice though. I'd go again, not for a full mean but for a glass of wine & a small appetizer.

Had an awesome meal at Impasto! They fit me in for a late seating as a walk-in, & the food & wine were excellent. Beautifully balanced food - I can taste the inspiration from Italy but with a modern twist, & enjoyed the pasta & tuna crudo. The service was a real highlight - they run a very tight ship, the team works so well together & everything feels in flow, which makes for a relaxing atmosphere. My favourite part was the dessert they surprised me with 😍 5 stars 🌟

Walked into Impasto just as lunch was winding down & was greeted with warmth. I got a lovely table by the window, perfect for soaking in the ambiance. Service? Flawless. Attentive without being intrusive.

I started with the minestrone, rich, hearty, & full of flavour, followed by the porchetta, which was nothing short of spectacular. Perfectly crisp on the outside, juicy on the inside, & beautifully plated over creamy beans & greens. A balanced dish in every sense.

Wines by the glass were decent, & the prices across the board were very reasonable for the quality. Between the food, the service, & the setting, this is a top-tier spot in Little Italy. No complaints, just compliments.
