Antilia Jaffa

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Pasta and Wine restaurant in Jaffa and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The cozy and inviting ambiance immediately set the tone for a wonderful evening. The menu boasted a diverse selection of pasta dishes, each more tempting than the last. I opted for the classic carbonara, and I was blown away by the perfect blend of flavors and the al dente texture of the pasta. The attention to detail in each dish was evident, showcasing the chef's dedication to their craft. The wine selection was equally impressive, offering a variety of options that perfectly complemented the meal. The staff's knowledge and enthusiasm added to the overall enjoyment of the evening. Their recommendations were spot on and their service was attentive without being overbearing. Without a doubt, Pasta and Wine is a gem in Jaffa's culinary scene. Whether you're a pasta aficionado or a wine enthusiast, this restaurant is a must-visit. I left with a satisfied palate and a desire to return as soon as possible.

Cute wine / pasta bar in Jaffa, with a nice atmosphere and decorations and plenty of seating room. No waiters - you order from a machine, you pick up the food from the counter when ready. I don't mind these 2 aspects, and it has its advantages (even though having more machines to order from so that you don't have to wait in line would help). However, you are also asked to return all the dishes/glasses to a designated area yourself and even sort them out, which kinda makes the experience weird. I don't want to get food leftovers on my clothes when trying to sort out the cutlery and plates, and in general this part doesn't really fit in with the rest of the restaurant vibe. Had 2 pasta dishes which were great + a salad which was good. Also had the tiramisu which was good. Prices were regular restaurant prices. For wine, there are a few changing by-the-glass options, and more options for bottles, with (to my impression) some emphasis on more new-wave/natural wines (but definitely not exclusively). White / light-red wines are stored in the same fridge as soft drinks which isn't ideal (not sure other red wines are chilled at all). Wine prices were also fairly typical. Given price range was for 1 starter, 2 mains, 2 glasses of wine & 1 dessert (for 2 people).

A lovely outdoor cafe set in a residential courtyard. Indoor and outdoor seating. Self - ordering kiosk with a simple menu of excellent pastas, some salads or apps, and a couple desserts. Seat yourself at a wide selection of seating - we sat outside on a lovely evening. About $15 - $20 US per dish. (A nice break from middle eastern dishes - this is all Italian food)

Really nice spot with a garden and lots of outside space. The pastas are delicious and atmosphere is very nice.
