A new fast-casual pasta concept has debuted at one of Boston’s food halls, giving guests a chance to order fresh pasta in a matter of minutes.
Makaroni Pastaria, which opened earlier in January at High Street Place in Boston, specializes in made-to-order pasta. Guests can choose from one of eight dishes that are started right after they order them.
Makaroni Pastatria offers fresh take on classic Italian dishes, but with a twist. There is Bolognese Linguine that is made with beef and veal, and Italian Sausage Orecchiette made with fresh broccoli rabe.
Fancier options include the Spicy Seafood Tagliatelle that is served with calamari, clams, white anchovies, cured olives and capers in a spicy tomato broth, and Burrata Truffle Ravioli served with Pomodoro and olive oil.
“Makaroni Pastaria is a heartfelt endeavor to share the authentic taste of Italy with a broader audience,” said Chef Nina Festekjian, who oversees the stand as well as other High Street concepts Hum’oveh and Kutzu.
Festekjian and General Manager Aleks Bakhrakh thought High Street was the perfect place to introduce the concept to workers, travelers and food enthusiasts in the city who are looking for a fast-casual pasta option.
“High Street Place’s diverse and dynamic dining scene, along with its engaged and welcoming community, make it the perfect destination for our vision of relaxed Italian excellence,” Festekjian said in a press release.
“We’re thrilled to bring our passion for Italian cuisine to High Street Place, where every dish reflects our commitment to quality, flavor, and the joy of sharing food,” she continued.
Makaroni opens at 11 a.m. daily and closes at 8 p.m. Monday through Wednesday and at 10 p.m. Thursday through Saturday. The stand is closed on Sunday. High Street Place is located at 100 High St. in Boston.
