Overview
pastaRAMEN, the first-ever Italian Ramen shop, is a perfect marriage of Japanese and Italian culture and cuisine. Influenced by the original 1950s concept at a Tokyo restaurant, Kabenoana – meaning “hole in the wall” – Wafu Italian is reintroduced as the concept of an elegant Italian ramen shop in the streets of Montclair.
Sensational and sacred, it blends meticulous techniques and deep flavors for an umami-rich taste, as strong as the love for an Italian grandmother's rustic cooking.
James Beard Nominated Rising Star Chef, Robbie Felice, is dedicated to quality ingredients and traditional techniques. He invites you to imagine dining in Japan at an Italian restaurant, where a Japanese chef prepares each inspired dish. This is the essence of Wafu (和風) – celebrating Japanese-style Italian cuisine.
pastaRAMEN is a BYOB experience. Gluten-free and vegetarian options are available on the menu.
Reservations required via Resy. Seating is limited to 90-minutes per reservation. Street parking is available around the area, as well as a parking lot located directly behind the restaurant off of S. Fullerton Ave.
