Along with pizza and cheeseburgers, pasta is one of the most beloved dishes served in America. It’s a popular choice for at-home meals, as well as ordering in and dining out. From date nights to Sunday dinner classics, pasta is delicious, reliable, and full of range.

But where can you find the best pasta… without going to Italy?

Most Americans have a favorite Italian spot nearby in their hometown—but the country isn’t short on restaurants serving up world-class pasta. If you want a taste of Nonna’s kitchen, you can find it in popular cities from New York to Seattle… or even further off the beaten path.

Yelp just released its list of the Top 100 Pasta Places of 2026, which is based on real user reviews. If you want to know where to find drool-worthy pasta that’s been stamped with approval from travelers and foodies like you, here’s where to start.

A closer look at the best pasta restaurants in the country, according to Yelp reviews

As I mentioned up top, you don’t need to fly to Rome or Milan for tasty pasta. (Although you should gorge yourself on cacio e pepe from Rome and spaghetti alla tamarro in Milan once in your life.)

Thanks to the United States’ ample number of Italian-American citizens, the country isn’t short on Little Italy neighborhoods. That being said, these areas are often flooded with impostor restaurants that emulate Italian dishes without actually nailing their composition, texture, and flavor.

If you want a truly great pasta dish that you’ll be craving for months to come, here’s where to find them, from eateries in Jersey to casual restaurants in Miami.
