    My sister and I stopped here for dinner. The food was very good. We started with the eggplant which was amazing, and the bread came out hot and fresh. We got two kinds of ravioli which were flavorful, but both dishes were practically swimming in sauce. Drinks were good, I’ve had a better cosmopolitan elsewhere. The key lime pie and mint chocolate chip martinis, however, were outstanding. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu but could’ve been more attentive, we had to wait a long time for our second round of drinks and the bill. The ambience was great, not too loud or crowded even with a full restaurant. Overall a really nice spot, would recommend trying at least once.

    Another great experience at this restaurant. As was true on our last occasion, the owner (Christian) took us under his wing and provided a great Thanksgiving dinner, which included turkey, of course, but also many of his best Italian specialties. Everything was great, including the personal attention of Christian to all ten of us ( 6 Adults and 4 young children.) The New York Pasta Garden has become our go-to restaurant when we come to Key West!

    We had a party of seven and everyone agreed it was one of our best meals in Key West. My husband said it was the best lobster he had in a while and I really enjoyed my fettuccine Alfredo. My son-in-law had the seafood Saffron risotto and said it was excellent. Everyone else is very pleased with their dinner and we will definitely be back. Oh, their Keylime pie was excellent as well!
