The pasta dish is also known as pasta alla ruota and has become more popular due to its Instagrammable presentation. Although the dish originated in Italy it is not as common there as it is in the United States. In Italy the dish is typically reserved for special occasions such as a formal wedding banquet or a milestone birthday.

Around the world the price of cheese pasta varies. Other NYC restaurants like Bocelli Ristorante in Staten Island and Sotto La Luna in Queens serve the dish for $26 and $25.50 respectively. At Albertino's Italian in New Jersey the dish costs $30. Abroad the pasta costs 25 euros (about $27.90) at Osteria Serafina in Milan or 14 euros (about $15.60) at Trattoria Da Danilo in Rome.

Pasta de Pasta on Manhattan’s Lower East Side serves its specialty pasta for just $9.90 a serving. And even with the low price the restaurant still serves high-quality food — with recent Google reviews praising it for its fresh pasta and simple Italian cooking.
