Tucked into Shanghai’s expat-friendly dining scene, Pastificio MOMÉNTI is a love letter to Italian grandmothers’ kitchens—minus the judgmental side eye. The outdoor terrace buzzes with la dolce vita energy, but the real magic happens inside their pasta lab, where chefs knead, roll, and cut fresh noodles daily using imported Italian flour. Think tagliatelle tossed in rich ragù or delicate ravioli stuffed with ricotta, all served with zero pretension and a side of “when’s nonna coming to visit?” nostalgia. The wine list leans heavy on regional Italian bottles, while cocktails add a modern twist (Aperol spritz with a basil garnish, anyone?). It’s not just a meal—it’s a carb-loaded trip to the boot, minus the long-haul flight. Perfect for dates that demand both romance and a second helping of tiramisu.
