We sincerely appreciated our meal! We tried several dishes and enjoyed all of them – we’ll absolutely return again.
We had the whipped feta and crostini app, very creamy and delicious, perfect for 2. We both had side salads with our meal – lovely salads with the perfect amount of dressing served on the side. We both ordered grill items (he the sirloin steak and myself the pork chop) and they were seasoned and cooked to perfection. We both got the grilled asparagus and parm potatoes on the side – delectable. He said the asparagus was the best he’s EVER had!!
We also ordered the chicken cheesecake, out of curiosity, and it was so good! It would be great as a dip, or app option. And then we got the Lemon Tart to go, for dessert, and consumed it approx 30-45 min later when we returned home. It held up well, great texture, and phenomenal taste!!
We did not have to wait to be seated, got constant refills on our drinks, and then one of the hosts helped us take a picture by their Christmas tree after the meal and was very gracious. Wonderful total experience!

This place has gone extremely downhill and we will not be returning. The appetizers were so gross they had no flavor they literally hurt your gums it was deep fried too long, it was like dollar store tortilla chips served with the artichoke dip, my salmon was extremely overcooked, and the parsnips that came with it was a huge mound. I will not be coming back this used to be a good place, our waitress was rude also.

I normally have no issues from here but I ordered tonight through doordash and the bread which I normally LOVE and is complimentary when you order, came with it. However I had nothing but the ends of the bread. Mostly just crust and hard bread to chew. Which I opened the first one and was like okay, maybe it’s a one off and then I opened the second and realized it was BOTH of them like that. Why? Just why? What is the point of even doing that? Definitely will not be ordering via delivery again, maybe in person but it seems like delivery orders are given a snub when it comes to service. You would not have brought this to a table, so why put it in a delivery order and not one but two boxes of it? I normally don’t even do google reviews but this irritated me so badly that I had to. If I’m ordering $70+ worth a food not including tip and delivery, give me something besides just scraps for the complimentary bread or just don’t and keep It. I would have been less mad getting nothing. I should give a one star for the audacity but the pasta is good so I won’t do that but this is shameful.

Very nice place. I thought the food to be a bit expensive. 50.00 for 2 with a drink. Served with bread pieces and sauce at the table. I didn’t care for the cheese ravioli. The cheese inside was some sort of creamy cheese, no flavor, and made the bite too soft and not a good combination with the marinara sauce. The mozzarella on top made the dish so much better. We had a great waitress! Atmosphere was great

Loren was our server and he was amazing. It’s a cute little eatery. The selection was wonderful, and the food was amazing!! I travel a lot, have eaten all over, and this is honestly one of the top places I’ve eaten!
The side salad was so fresh and wonderful, the steak was juicy and thick, the veggies were fresh and the Alfredo was good. The spinach dip for the appetizer was amazing! The white chocolate cheesecake with Carmel drizzle tasted like a toasted marshmallow. So good! I will definitely tell locals about this place!

Nicki was our wonderful waitress, highly recommend her! The food was absolutely Devine! My mom’s side is Italian and this is the closest to her homemade sauce I’ve been able to find at a restaurant! We got the calamari to start, I got the combo tortellini with Alfredo and spaghetti with red sauce, and tried their strawberry vinaigrette (so refreshing and lite) house salad, and my husband got the blackened red fish pasta with Crawfish cream sauce with a house salad 10/10!

I had a great experience here! The pasta was absolutely delicious – perfectly cooked and full of flavor. You can really taste the quality of the ingredients. I highly recommend the seafood pasta, it was one of the best I’ve ever had.
The service was also excellent. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. They were happy to give recommendations and made us feel very welcome.
Would definitely come back again. A great place for anyone who loves Italian food!

Definitely one of our favorite restaurants. The food here is wonderful. With an array of pasta dishes, seafood and non-seafood, there’s something for just about anybody, and for dessert, their white chocolate creme brulee is to die for! The atmosphere is cozy and relaxing and service is always great. If you’re wanting a casual night out with friends or family, or a romantic night out with that special someone, this is the place to come!

Pasta Grill is definitely one of the best, if not the best, Italian restaurants in the River Valley Area! My wife and I have been here several times now, and have tried a variety of their dishes, including their Jambalaya Pasta, Salmon Gnocchi, Parmesan Crusted Scallops with Angel Hair (pictured), their Roasted Vegetable Ravioli (also pictured), and more. We’re also pretty much in love with their Fried Brie Cheese with Cranberry-Raspberry Sauce as an appetizer (which is why we always eat them so fast that I forget to take a picture; haha!). The atmosphere and service are also excellent, especially when you consider what a busy, popular place it is. All I can say is that they didn’t leave our drinks empty for a moment this evening, and they also brought us four baskets of their complimentary garlic bread and marinara sauce, which is also delicious (more than our family could even finish!). All in all, I highly recommend Pasta Grill! The flavors of the food are excellent and always lovingly prepared, the service is great, and you won’t leave hungry!

Good, fresh food and friendly service. Garlic bread and marinara on the house as soon as we were seated. Chicken cheesecake which is similar to a quiche was very good, as was the white chocolate cheesecake. Parmesan crusted scallops also very tasty. Nicely furnished and comfortable.
