Handmade Pasta.
Rolled fresh every morning. Sauced to order. And finished tableside in a hollowed wheel of cheese — Moderna's signature theater.
The pasta at Moderna is rolled, cut and cooked in-house every day, then sauced to order rather than held. That means hand-cut Tagliatelle alla Ruota swirled tableside inside a hollowed wheel of Grana Padano, a Famous 20-Layer Lasagna Moderna built with slow-cooked Bolognese and bechamel, and a three-ingredient Cacio e Pepe that hides nothing. It is the quietest argument we make for scratch cooking on West 6th Street. Book a table if you want the wheel service.
