IL PASTAIO
A warm and welcoming address offering Italian specialities for a family and gourmet cuisine
In the heart of Rixheim, an address that brings together families, friends, workers, couples... it's Il Pastaïo. In a few words: simple and good. You have a view of the counter, the takeaway and the kitchen. A warm atmosphere enhanced by friendly, smiling service. The menu is concise: a dozen pizzas, pastas, tarts flambées and desserts. We've opted for a small, well-mastered menu. However, some of the offerings are more appealing: Indian, snail and Savoyard pizzas. On the plates, the portions are generous with sauce and toppings, which is very much to be appreciated at such low prices. Tasting verdict: it's good, simply gourmet and comforting. The cuisine is more family-style and gourmet than traditional Italian. The pizza dough holds up well, and the tomato sauce is tasty. However, we prefer the homemade pastas, whose sauces are perfectly mastered, with a special mention for the tagliatelle forestière. From the installation to the bill, everything is there to ensure you enjoy a good meal. It's easy to see why the place is full all week long, and if you run out of space, you can just take away.
