Wow lovely staff and the best vegan pasta in Essex, can book table or take away and all food cooked fresh to order, also love that they have vegan options and the vegan food is so tasty. If you love Italian food you need to eat here it will not disappoint, they deserve there own restaurant this is true Italian food.

Wonderful food . Lovely couple. Italian fresh cooked food in a friendly atmosphere. Only downside is its a bit chilly in the market. But kinda adds to the rustic atmosphere.

Whenever we visit Chelmsford over lunchtime, this is our go too place for food! So friendly and nice always willing to go the extra mile. And the food is amazing!

What a absolute gem of a place, tucked away in chelmsford market. The food is delicious, lovely atmosphere a professional friendly staff. Will definitely be coming back and spreading the word how good this place is!

WE @ DUKESTREET TATTOO LOOOOOOOOVE THIS PLACE. Not only are they super friendly and helpful when it comes to customizing your meal and accommodating for vegans (thank you thank you thank you!!!) but the food is absolutely FANTASTIC. I could choose anything off the menu and know i'll enjoy it... Fresh cannoli's & tiramisu for dessert as well? How can you not love this place. Only good things to say, and now to order some more!!!

This is the best place to get fresh home cooked pasta! Always tastes amazing and made right I front of you. You are able to pre-order which is great for lunch! One of my favourite places in Chelmsford!

The real Italian place to eat in town. I will not go back to chains, thanks for opening this place guys, you really make a difference and show that a good restaurant doesn't need to be pricey. It makes me feel I was in Italy. Yummylicious.

The food at Pastacuitta is unique. I can choose my pasta, which is made fresh every day and I can watch my food being cooked in front of me. The food is so delicious and the portions are more than ample that it's great value for money. I've tasted quite a few tiramisu desserts over the years and I've found the best one here. Bon appetite

The best and most original place to eat in Chelmsford. Reasonable priced food, cooked with passion. A hidden gem!

The best Italian food , made with love and the friendliest staff too make Pastasciutta our favourite place in Chelmsford. We were devastated when you want on holiday. Please don't do it again!.

Recommend by a friend and the food was excellent ,freshly cooked and tasted delicious.

All other dinners were Italians so if they go there it must be authentic.

Will visit again soon.

Really lovely food & the people who run it are very warm, smiley and welcoming too. Will definitely be visiting more often! �

Pasta alla norma (tomato, onion,garlic,fresh basil,fried aubergines) & Spaghetti con le cozze ( mussels)... well done Pastasciutta!!!1st Class

Old Skool Italian style cafe offering about ten sauces to go with your pasta. The pasta is freshly made. Plus they serve coffee, pastries and desserts. Service is quick and friendly and you can buy fresh pasta to take home to cook. Please support this cafe!

Just had my first takeaway from Pastasciutta!!!! Amazing!!! We had the carbonara, the bolognese and the amatriciana. They were all delicious!!! We had three types of pasta too which were equally delicious!! We will definitely be coming back! Thank you so much.

Just been back for the third time and found a 3rd delicious dish. Everything we've tried there has been perfetto! Can't wait for next time. Lovely food, great staff and well priced.

In a word... Heavenly 😋



Delicious food, amazing cooks and lovely people - could not ask for anything more.

If you want to eat a real delicious italian meal you have to go there!!!!!!!!!

I can not truly put into words how wonderful Pastasciutta is. The owners and staff are wonderful. The food is absolutely delicious. Fresh home made wonderful pasta with an array of fabulous meat or vegetable sauces. This little gem is popular with Italian diners. The food is so very reasonably priced. I will definitely return here for lunch and buy takeaway to warm through at home in the evening.

I am Italian and I bought here some AMAZING fresh egg pasta!! You can also find other italian food and drinks!!

Hands down one of the nicest pasta dishes I have ever eaten outside of Italy! The pasta was cooked to perfection, there was so much choice and it is all made fresh right in front of you. Very nice atmosphere too and the staff are so friendly and attentive. We even tried the homemade Nutella sponge cake and chocolate cake (can't remember what they were called) which were vegan and gluten-free (not my usual choice) but they were AMAZING. You know when every other customer apart from yourselves are Italian that the food must be good. Thank you so much for a lovely lunch, we will definitely be back again and again :) Gratzi!

Friendly owners and wonderful genuine quality food. A real treasure and something a little bit different from "chain" style food.

Fresh, authentic and delicious Italian food. Made to order, quick enough for a work lunch break.



They also let you order ahead - a god send for our team lunch today.



Would thoroughly recommend - will be back next week, as am suffering from major food envy!



A fantastic addition to Chelmsford market.

Fresh, authentic and delicious Italian excellence. Made to order, with a fantastic market atmosphere!



Would thoroughly recommend- will be back next week, I am sure!

Fantastic. Probably the best pasta in Chelmsford.

Fantastic place, loved the food will definitely go back again and again.

Fantastic meal here today, portion size great, superb flavour and brilliant pasta, we will be coming back

Fantastic food and service!

Delicious reasonably priced food. And they use compostable cutlery and take away boxes.

Delicious cappuccino and little cake with you yesterday. Can't remember what it was called. ..the one filled with Ricotta then dipped in almonds and pistachio.

Can't believe I have not been here before. Fabulous genuine Italian food. Deffo coming here again!

Best pasta place around, hidden gem as someone else says for sure

Awesome find... if you're ever nearby.. TRY IT! You won't regret it.

Authentic Italian pasta, always cooked fresh in front of you by Alessio. We come here most Saturday's for lunch and receive the warmest welcome making you feel part of the family. The food is in another level! Fantastic �

Amazing vegan bolognese, so filling and tasty, and lovely owners too �

Amazing pasta! Big portions, lovely friendly staff! Best pasta restaurant in Essex! Would definitely recommend.

All the plates are tasty as my italian mom does! The staff is very nice and hospitable!

Absolutely love this place! Visited for the 1st time last Saturday and it was so good! It will definitely be a regular haunt when we visit Chelmsford now. Please please please come and open a branch in Sawbridgeworth, we need you here!!! �

Absolutely amazing, the best Italian food you can get outside of Italy. It gets really busy every lunchtime so plan your visit. You won’t be disappointed
