Editorial Review for Pasita – by Kathleen Squires
The Scene
Bricks line the walls, white marble tops the bar and wood fuels the main attraction: a blazing, copper-cased oven. Antique Spanish-language magazine ads hint at the Latin twist, while lingering young couples and large groups, happy for an economical night out, bring in buzz and festive energy.
The Food
The fryer gets an ample workout with Venezuelan-inspired fare like tequenos, savory fried pastry slims stuffed with oozing cheese; yucca fries, touched with a slight sweetness; and arepitas, silver dollar-sized corn cakes, terrific when dipped in the accompanying avocado spread. Though it's easy to make a meal of these snacks, be sure not to pass up the pizzas, marked by a thin, chewy, smoky crust. Toppings range from the classic (pepperoni) to the Latin-tweaked (shredded beef and manchego cheese). The chocolate plate, garnished with nuts and dried fruits, and the sorbets and gelatos from Il Laboratorio all make fitting finishes.

Insider Tips
What to DrinkAll but two wines on the South American, Spanish and Portuguese list are under $40. Try the $35 Armador Chilean Carmenere, full-bodied with a peppery finish.

I live nearby and walked by a bunch of times but never went in until my girlfriend suggested it. I LOVED IT! The staff is nice and helpful, and the decor is so cute--the antique painted brick, vintage chandeliers and posters are unique and fun! We split the spanish cheese plate (loved the blue cheese with honey) that came with fresh flatbread, and a delicious fresh salad with mango and grapefruit. We shared a bottle of fantastic Portuguese white wine (who knew?), recommended by the bartender. We had such a good time--and didn't break the bank either!
Pros: Ambience, Wine, Food
Cons: Seems to get very busy

I got stuck in a downpour and ducked into this unassuming little place. The bartender had a perfect balance of friendly and respectful, and he really knew about wine (I loved the Malbec Rose he suggested). He also steered me to the Chorizo pizza with shaved fennel--yummy! The place was not too too full, but had a certain easygoing ambience that is hard to find these days. A definite find.
Pros: Wine, Ambience, Brick oven Pizzas
Cons: Small, Could get crowded
