Nonna’s secret Sunday night sauce is now available to enjoy every day of the week. Pastadoro is a new casual Italian eatery providing authentic Italian cuisine that is also fast and affordable. The spot is within the College of New Jersey’s Campus Town, a walkable main street near the university in Ewing.
Pastadoro promises something unique and, in particular, says “We have a different concept for Italian food”. That’s according to Anthony Adragna, the head chef and managing partner. His years of experience come from serving as a restaurateur throughout Pennsylvania and New Jersey. “Everything is made fresh, on-site every day, but it’s also fast and affordable for today’s busy customers,” he explains.

Inside, Pastadoro presents a stylish and modern design Anthony describes as “very clean, bright, modern, inviting, and open”. The interior seats 35 to 40 diners; in addition to outdoor seating for another 15 to 20 people, complete with heaters, tables, and chairs. “Imagine a Sunday style, high quality, slow cooked, all-day sauce and meatballs and pasta in mere minutes,” Anthony says. “We felt people want to eat out again, but also enjoy taking amazing food home to their family. It was a perfect time for us to bring this concept to New Jersey.”
Pasta & More on the Menu
Freshness and quality are the top priorities for the Pastadoro menu. Of course, their marquee item is the build-your-own pasta and sauce bowl with various topping options. “We have thousands of combinations available for you to try,” Anthony says. For instance, they have 9 types of pasta, 8 types of sauce, 7 regular toppings, and 7 “primo” toppings. (Primo toppings include meatballs, bacon crunch, and chicken, as well as sausage and broccoli.)

Likewise, other Pastadoro menu highlights include panini sandwiches on Brooklyn ciabatta bread. But Anthony’s personal favorite is the meat ravioli with gorgonzola cream sauce, topped with toasted breadcrumbs and Romano cheese; which he also gets with a side of sausage. Meanwhile, they serve homemade gelato for dessert in a number of flavors; some featured flavors include lemon, strawberry, mango, dark chocolate, espresso crunch, cookie caramel, and Nutella.
