Dare Goes Da Pasta brings customizable fast-casual bowls to Port St. Lucie
Port St. Lucie’s next pasta stop pairs build-your-own bowls with a coffee counter in a 1,200-square-foot shop on SW Port St. Lucie Blvd.
A new fast-casual pasta and coffee shop is headed for 723 SW Port St. Lucie Blvd., bringing build-your-own bowls to a 1,200-square-foot space in one of Florida’s fastest-growing cities. Dare Goes Da Pasta is owner Domenick Gonzalez’s latest concept, built around speed, customization, and a comfort-food menu.
Domenick Gonzalez brings more than 20 years in restaurants and hotels, along with his extended family’s Italian restaurant background in New York. Florida corporate records list Dare Goes Da Pasta LLC as filed on Aug. 31, 2025, with Gonzalez listed as manager and registered agent at 2622 SW Acco Rd. in Port St. Lucie. DARE stands for dream, act, rise, and elevate.
The core of the concept is a fast-service pasta bar. Guests will be able to build a bowl or carton by choosing a pasta, sauce, and protein. The sauce lineup runs from vodka sauce, pesto, Alfredo, marinara, amatriciana, and Bolognese to a house Luciano-style sauce.
Two featured bowls are the Brooklyn Bowl, with lemon sauce, white wine, fresh mozzarella, and cherry peppers, and the Boricua Bowl, with pernil, peppers, onions, and garlic butter white wine sauce.
The shop will also include a coffee counter with lattes, cappuccinos, espresso, and drip coffee. Gonzalez also wants to record his podcast live from the restaurant about once a month.
The U.S. Census Bureau estimates Port St. Lucie’s population at 268,062 as of July 1, 2025, up 30.9% since April 1, 2020, and total accommodation and food services sales were $408.9 million in 2022. The city already has another fresh-pasta, fast-casual player in Pastaio Pizza Pasta, which markets handmade pasta prepared daily in Tradition Village Square, and Tripadvisor lists 51 Italian restaurant results in Port Saint Lucie.
