I’ve dined here several times now and loved each visit. The atmosphere is lovely, and the food is delicious. The tomato sauce is fresh and bright, the pesto sauce savory and rich, and the herbal love sauce lives up to its eponymous name. The pasta itself is perfectly cooked, not too soft and not too al dente. I also love that you could eat here every day of the week and have something different every time, since you get to choose your own pasta, sauce, and toppings. Definitely a great place to eat again and again!

I love this place!!! My favorite combination is the Sweet Potato and Goat Cheese Stuffed Ravioli with Herbal Love sauce, zucchini, sun-dried tomatoes, and basil. All of the ingredients taste so fresh and I love the fact that every dish is made to order. The staff and management are always smiling and welcoming. Oh, and the Sangria is fantastic!!! My favorite lunch spot, without a doubt!!!

Fresh, made-in-house pasta and friendly staff. The food really is delicious, and the Wednesday and Friday deals make it very affordable. All around, awesome place. I do prefer the red sauce to white, but that may just be personal preference.

First of all…..when we walked in the delicious aroma of fresh spices and sauce were hanging heavily in the air. My tummy began to growl. I ordered the goat cheese , sweetpotato ravioli….it was absolutely amazing! I will be back! The staff was very friendly and the music gave the place a fun atmosphere. Can’t wait to go back to Gainesville for done more homemade pasta! !yum….

My family & I decided to try this place and we were all very pleased. Great quality and selection of pasta dishes and salad. The staff was very friendly and our food was made promptly. I will definitely be returning.

Description:
Fork and Pasta has taken over the space that How Do You Roll once shamefully resided and has really made it their own. I want to start by saying that I absolutely love the interior design of the restaurant – minimalistic, unique, and creative. This is exactly what I pictured college town restaurants to look like. It’s about time we had something with a little more spark than just Tijuana Flats and Jimmy John’s (both decent places, just not local). Shout out to their design team as well for the cool looking menus and order boards. I for one think they look awesome.
Food & Service:
Their menu is very straightforward and easy to follow. If you have any questions about the sauces or types of noodles, the staff is very willing to help you out. After some consideration, I decided to go with the aioli-love sauce, raditore pasta (because I’ve never heard of it and it had a cool shape), and add meatballs ($1.00 extra). To be quite frank, I knew this place would be decent before coming but the fact that they essentially only serve pasta made my expectations a lot higher. The food came quite quickly and I had my fork in pasta in no time. I was not overly amazed but the first bite was pretty good. The noodles could’ve been a little chewier but it beats dry pasta from the supermarket. The sauce was a blend of herbs and oil if I remember correctly. It was very fresh, light, and seasoned but the name throws me off a bit (aioli is usually a creamier egg based/mayonnaise texture). It also came with a small slice of bread which I didn’t like. They should either bake it fresh themselves or just leave it out. I’d like to mention that my roommate ordered the cream sauce with fettuccine which he really enjoyed. I took a bite and wasn’t as impressed. Maybe I’m just a hard critic?
Final Thoughts:
If there’s anything to take away from my review, know that I want to see this place succeed. These are kinds of restaurants I would love to see populate the city of Gainesville. The atmosphere inside makes it ideal to hold small tastings, events, etc as well. I also forgot to mention that we were given free frozen coffee drinks to taste test for them. Maybe if you go, you’ll get lucky too? My point in all of this is that I think they have a solid plan but they might need to do a little more to get the ball rolling faster. As someone who cooks, the simple concept of pasta and sauce isn’t that appealing to me. This is the type of place I’d stop by if I was on campus and craving a fresh, high carb, quick lunch/dinner. Regardless, I encourage everyone to go and check this place out. They seem like passionate, driven people!

You want pasta? This is it, the one stop shop for a pasta craving. Pick your noodle, sauce, and add your meats and veggies and they serve it up hot with a slice of fresh italian bread.
Noodles made super fresh in-store and you can tell the guys love what they do. The slow-cooked chicken I ordered for my pasta was so tender that it could be served on its own.
You will not be able to get spaghetti and meatballs here until further notice.

This place is fantastic. My girlfriend and I have been coming here for over a year now, and we are always satisfied. The service is prompt, the staff is friendly, and the pasta is delicious. The desserts are also fantastic and made in-house.

I’ve been here twice and loved it both times.
Now, I’ve heard people say that the pasta/sauce is meh or that the food is too expensive, but as someone who cooks a lot of not-made-from-scratch pasta at home, I am more than willing to pay ~$8 for FRESH pasta (yes, I can taste the difference) and fresh sauces.
I’ve only ever tried the classic rose sauce (because it was SO good I couldn’t risk getting something else and being mad at myself), but I have tried the fusilli pasta and the radiatore pasta. The former was my favorite of the two, simply because it seemed like I got a lot more food than I did with the radiatore. (Indeed, I had an entire second meal when I ordered the fusilli, whereas I ate the entire bowl when I ordered the radiatore.) The reason for this is probably because the fusilli pasta is smaller, so more of it can be jammed in the bowl.
All bowls also include a slice of what tastes like delicious, homemade, rosemary bread.
I also love that you can get cooked veggies in your pasta! Now, granted, I think it’s a little lame that you don’t get one to two veggies automatically included in the price of the bowl. But nevertheless, my favorite combo for my classic rose bowl is the roasted zucchini and caramelized onions. Mmmmmm, so good. Plus, there is a cheese grater on every table, and inside the grater is a fresh block of Parmesan cheese. I love that I can grate to my heart’s desire, and I love that they give you a block of cheese, not just cheese crumbles like at pizza restaurants.
It’s not the best Italian in the world, but for the price and the quickness, there isn’t really anything else like it, especially on University Ave. I’ve never waited more than 10 minutes for a bowl, and I’ve only gone during the lunch rush. I’m in and out in under 20 minutes once I eat my food. To me, that’s perfectly acceptable for fresh pasta.
They give a 10% discount sometimes to UF students/staff; check their Facebook page for specials. As of this review, they were not validating parking for the parking garage, but they may work something out soon.

I liked it at first. I would go almost every other week. Ordered 2 pasta dishes, drove 30 minutes back home, and opened them to find no sauce on either of them. I was so disappointed, but was willing to try them again because maybe they were just having a bad day. Nope… still no sauce ♀️ maybe it’s just me haha
