GARLIC LOVERS, COME FORTH!!!! 🧄😛
a brand new Japanese-Italian fusion pasta restaurant for my noods people 🤝🏻 Nolita uses 𝐀𝐋𝐎𝐓 of garlic for their dishes mainly the pastas and i am loving ittttt. here’s what we got:
— 🥓 A.O.P. ✦ 20/10
i am an aglio olio girlie…so bias here but i love it alot. oily & there’s alot of garlic as well 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐇 𝐈𝐒 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐌𝐀𝐈𝐍 𝐇𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐋𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓 🧄
— 🦞 lobster rosé ✦ 9/10
definitely something different but there’s a kick! lobster meat was quite generous as well imo
— 🍄 black truffle ✦ 7/10
normal mushroom truffle pizza, alotttt of mushroom pieces but quite jelak at the end of it…😭 can give this flavour a skip or try other flavours!
— 🥔 crispy tots ✦ 9/10
normal tater tots but make it ✨ 𝐄𝐗𝐓𝐑𝐀 𝐂𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐏𝐘 ✨ at least the name of the dish didn’t disappointment. iirc the dip has a hint of mentaiko so it was not bad :)
apologies for the lack of close up photos. other than the food, the restaurant vibes were right up my alley. they had wine bottles on the top racks and cute decors on the walls 🖼️ i would say the restaurant is medium-size, not big nor small but would 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗮 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 as i reserved mine at 7:30pm & they had a Q during peak hours but from what i observe, they seated walk-ins quite quickly
another smol tip is to 𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗿 𝗱𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗸 as they charge sparkling water at $3 or $4. they didn’t seem to mind outside drinks when i brought mine or maybe they were too busy to tell us 😅
& 𝐘𝐄𝐒! i would definitely be back 🫶🏻

If you’re planning a visit to Nolita, a few personal tips might enhance your experience. Since they charge a premium for sparkling water, consider bringing your own drink to save some bucks—staff didn’t mind mine at all. Also, the restaurant tends to get busy, especially around 7:30pm, so making a reservation beforehand is a wise move to avoid waiting. While the menu highlights garlic prominently, the lobster rosé pastas stand out with their generous seafood portions and a pleasantly spicy kick that balances the richness. For those who prefer more classic flavors, the truffle mushroom pizza can be a bit overwhelming, so maybe save that for last or try other dishes if you want variety. Don’t miss the crispy tots—a simple dish made extra special with a super crispy texture and a hint of mentaiko in the dip that pairs nicely. The cozy interior, decorated with wine bottles and artful touches, sets a warm and inviting atmosphere, making it an ideal spot to savor good food with friends or a date. Overall, Nolita is a great find for garlic enthusiasts and pasta lovers seeking something a bit different but still comforting. Looking forward to going back and trying more dishes!
