This place was just down the street from the Financial District; it looks fairly new and I am a little curious why it wasn't more crowded, but it was just 5:30 on a Friday night. It seems like the downtown needs a shot in the arm, and I would suggest Vapiano as a great place to come down to start your evening.
The pasta is build your own or select from the suggestions. I had the tagliatelle with bolognese and a side caesar salad. Everything was really tasty but I think I will order a little differently next time. Not quite Calzone's but a good fast Italian. They claim the pasta is made on site daily, and you can tell; the taste is much better and the pasta isn't slimy like packaged pasta.
I liked the "credit card" style of paying for the meal and being able to go to the stations. Real plates and flatware, and a very stylish (and large) interior seating area.
