Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We popped in today for a late lunch and had a beautiful meal. The children loved their pasta lunches and my toddler enjoyed peeking into the kitchen to see what was being made. There was a little wait for our FRESH PASTA to be made (which we were totally fine with) but they still gave us some yummy complimentary cheesey garlic bread because of the short wait. Crayons and colouring were given to our rather grumpy toddler and the meal was a lovely break from a busy weekend. Thank you.

A lovely experience.
Very friendly and efficient staff in an attractive setting.
We both had garlic spinach on toast with smoked pancetta and mushrooms.
We added a poached egg.
It was all delicious and just a little different.
Just the right amount of food and price was right as well.
Must go back in the evening and have a full meal.
Thank you.

My husband and I tried Pastability for the first time today. We ordered the spaghetti for lunch. Mine had chicken and my husband had his with ham. We were pleasantly surprised with the quality of the food. The food was simply delicious and we would definitely come back again. Other food listed on the menu is also affordable and we hope that more people will patronize this place and support one of the local business in Newark town centre. Thank you for the delightful experience. The staff were equally friendly and nice. Keep up the good work! Thanks to the chef as well.

What an amazing restaurant/cafe. Food was divine. We ate beef and red wine cannelloni and pizza and finished it with w very indulgent Ferrero Roche waffle creation. The cannelloni was so delicious you didn't want the meal to end.
We were made to feel very welcome, and the service was so friendly, personal, but also relaxed.
Coffee was wonderful as well. Couldn't fault our meal while catching up with good friends. Don't let the simple decor and small menu deceive you. It is worth a visit.

Pastability is a hidden gem. From the warm friendly reception, to the great and attentive service from the staff, to the beautifully presented and super delicious food, I can’t praise this restaurant enough. We have a wonderful array of starters, all of which were delicious. Even something as simple as garlic bread tasted delicious. The portions were a good size and the food was seasoned well and very tasty. We had cannelloni and lasagnas for main meals, all of which were delicious. Finally we had waffles and home-made ice cream. I was planning to have just a small spoon of ice cream, however, the ice cream was of such a good quality and so well presented that I ended up having many spoons; ! I could not leave the ice alone.. This is definitely a go to eatery in the centre of Newark!

We took tripadvisors advice and visited this gem of a restaurant. Delicious home cooked food well presented and good value for money. The staff were very friendly and attentive and the chef/owner was proud of his establishment.I had the homemade lasagne which is the best Ive ever had. My husband had an Italian sausage pasta special.. again delicious. We were tempted to try some of the homemade gelato as an extra and can thoroughly recommend that too. So pleased to have visited and can thoroughly recommend it.

Honestly one of the best cafe in Newark! The atmosphere was great, very friendly staff whom helped with giving recommendations for deciding on what to have. Very reasonable prices considering how much food you get
Food was amazing! Decided to have the Carbonara with the cheesy garlic bread definitely a must when coming here!
Lots of options for meals to be Vegetarian or Vegan friendly. Especially considering the ice-cream which is a must have!

This has become our favourite place for a Saturday breakfast or lunch family meet up. The food is all home cooked, and the service is so friendly and caring. The homemade ice cream is delicious, and we always come home with a tub for the freezer.
Great takeaway dishes to cook at home, or take to a friends. We’ve done this a few times since our daughter had twins, and we wanted to enjoy a meal together without her having to cook and juggle babies.
A real treat to have this cafe / restaurant in Newark (and you can enjoy a glass of wine too!)

We had checked out the online menu and noticed there was a decent selection of mains for people following a vegan philosophy and way of life and those enjoying more plant based dishes . The owner, who was very friendly and jovial, explained that for various reasons they were not offering the full range of dishes. He apologised and assured us that if we gave him some notice the next time there would be more on offer. We enjoyed the roasted vegetables with Neapolitan sauce and spaghetti.

I was very happy with the service, I had a spaghetti meatballs and my friend had a beef cannelloni. This is the first time she has been in Pastability, and she said she absolutely loved the food as well as the friendly staff, who is always happy to help. She will definitely be back soon.

Some time to kill in Newark led me to Pastability. It had been some time since I had been there before to enjoy their lasagna and so decided to peruse the breakfast menu.
Delighted to see that Eggs Benedict was on offer for a very reasonable price and I wasn't disappointed. Deep yellow yolk served on toasted muffins, with a proportionate serving of bechimel sauce. A side serving of dressed leaves made this the perfect breakfast and accompanied by exquisite coffee.
The only disappointment... It's closed on Sundays so I couldn't repeat the experience the following day with my family.

As I had a busy day and an extra person for dinner I decided to take advantage of Pastability's takeaway service. I took a pyrex dish in (to avoid single use plastic) and the chef at Pastability made a delicious butternut squash lasagne for me to pick up the following day. My daughter, who is a committed vegetarian, absolutely loved it. Will definitely consider doing that again. The convenience of a ready meal but much healthier and better quality.
