Food was amazing! Much much better than I thought. Crab cakes, Tips Gorgonzola were just so tasty! Do you sell the bread dipping sauce? I could drink that stuff :-) Service was on point considering! Even though they were running behind on reservation times, they did a great job of it not being very long! I will definitely be back !! read more

Great spot! I was meeting customers from a local business and they suggested The Pasta House. I got there a few minutes early (around 11:40am) and the place was dead, which made me a bit nervous. The hostess couldn't have been more friendly and stayed at the table for a minute after seating me to tell me her favorite dishes....I asked. She told me that the chicken Marsala was her favorite, which worked out well because that's what I was thinking of ordering. Shortly after being seated the waiter came over with water and fresh bread. I wouldn't say it was focaccia or French bread but somewhere in between. They also have an incredible dipping oil with garlic and a few herbs and spices. The orders came out quickly and the Marsala was really good. Don't get me wrong, I have had better, but not for under $10. This place definitely gives you a great bang for the buck. I probably could've used a bit more Marsala sauce for the noodles, but overall it was a great dish. The customers were also very happy with their meals. I look forward to coming back and delving into the menu even deeper. Nice job! read more

I came here with my family while on vacation in Fairhaven and it was the best food we had on our trip. The server was very nice, the food was phenomenal, and the price is great! I had the salmon and mashed potatoes, and those mashed potatoes were the best I have ever had in my life. My parents had the fig pizza which was also really great. Overall, great experience!! read more

Lobster ravioli and sangria. Just trust me. You won't regret it. But really , everything is delicious- from the Portuguese steak pizza to the chicken piccata. There is something for all tastes. It gets busy on weekends and there will likely be a wait , but it's worth it. Highly recommend. read more

I have been looking for a good place to eat in the New Bedford area and a young man at GNC, Dartmouth Mall, told me about The Pasta House. I went on a Friday night and it was a 30-40 minute wait. I had a cocktail, which was Great, and the the service was excellent. I left, because it was so busy. I returned on a Monday night and had the Linguine Alla Vongole. It was good to the last bite. My new favorite place to eat in the New Bedford area. read more

Just had dinner here again and had ahi tuna salad and clam chowder my wife had cobb salad they where beyond good as always never had a bad meal hear its excellent read more

I always get the tuna and it never disappoints me, they do a very good job. I wish they changed their menu sometimes. Fried ice cream approved as well as the calamari. read more

I honestly don't see the allure of this place. I've been there like 3x never by choice but usually a friend wanted to go and I'm accommodating. I've had a slow and rude waitress 2 of the 3 times and the food takes long which is funny since it's pasta which is fast to cook. I mean when you go out to eat you'd expect to get better food than you can make yourself and yet their pasta is always bland and way over priced. Sometimes overlooked other times undercooked. Save your money and time. I rather get pasta from 99s or Applebee's than the pasta house. read more

This place was amazing! 10/10 the food was so good and tasted amazing. We got apps and dinner and all was fantastic. Our waitress was also amazing and super good. Will definitely come back!! read more

I used to frequently meet my son at The Pasta House for lunch as we both worked nearby. The food was good as was the service. However, during one visit my son found a piece of plastic the size of a dime in his pasta. After notifying the waitress, no offer was made to remake the meal, and we were charged the full menu price for the meal. - which he left after biting into the plastic. We never returned and never will. read more

Having been going to the Pasta House for years and always been satisfied my wife and I went las Saturday for the first time since Covid. The place was packed as usual after a 55 min wait we were seated in a cramped corner. Our waitress was very nice but the service had changed we selected our choices Janet ordered baked cod and I had fillet mignon. We were limited to choice of salad or soup your only offered salad ok now as far as the salad dressing only house dressing is offered not what we were use to.Also our choice of type of potato was gone. We received our meals the cod fish was good rather Luke warm and mashed potato was cold. The filet mignon was room temperature and mashed potato was cold. It's to bad but we won't be going back anytime soon read more

Amazing Meals tonight! Boston Baked Scrod was quickly devoured. Chicken and Veal Piccata were amazing. Lobster Ravioli, Kobe Meatballs, Chowder, Soup, Salads and Bread were fantastic. read more

I love when Dakota is on pizza. I will only go when he is there! Me and my friends love his attitude and flare on the station. If he's there, we want in! The bartender was also lovely. read more

Hands down, the best pasta house I've ever been to. Their sauces are spot on, seafood is cooked perfectly, & the menu has something for everyone. Long wait...be sure to make reservations if you can. Marked off for the service. Our waitress was slow, inattentive, & not very knowledgable about the menu. Two of our party had incorrect orders. And, they messed up on my drink...and still charged me! Then, they gave us a hard time splitting the check. After 3 attempts at explaining things to this woman, we finally took out our calculators & made her a list of each credit card & how much to charge. Very frustrating... read more

I am writing this from the takeout line, in which i've been waiting 40 minutes despite the promise of 25. The food is good, but my time is precious. read more

I was skeptical of this place, as it is one of those very large dining room chain type places, but ended up being very impressed with the meal that I had! Our server, Lisa, (Linda? One of those L names...) was very generous and answering all of our families many questions, and she steered us in the right direction all the way. My dad said the Rizzuto that came with the sweet chili scallop dish was some of the best he's ever had. I had the seafood stew-the thing with all the different seafood, fish, lobster, the whole shebang-and my dad had the Spanish mussels and we were all very happy. The wine list is minimal, as is the cocktail selection, and our servers were not particularly knowledgeable about that part of the menu, but all things considered it was a great meal. Ironically, we did not really eat much pasta! But I didn't miss it. read more

Mom is having the clam chowder and I actually got a crazy baked potato to go with my Philly Cheese Steak Pizza, and my Mom got the Margherita Pizza. The pizzas were excellent, just perfectly hot and mine was a stunning creation of the Philly style with an excellent background flavor and great veggies too. Oh and the steak was perfect as well. read more

Bocca - Interior. - Italian Near Me - Fairhaven, Massachusetts

So I had seen this restaurant in phantom gourmet and noticed it isnt too far from my house so i gave it a shot even though i was sure it's not quite like authentic italian. When arriving, i felt like i did arrive at a quite nice restaurant, somewhere you certainly like to take someone out on a date or somewhere laid back for a family restaurant. I went strait to the bar with my friends and sat right next to the pizza maker. (I believe the only pizza oven they have is right at the bar with the maker and everything with the bar tenders). Service: As it should fit to its standards, nice people, nice little chat having with the bar tender and even the pizza maker (quite funny guy) who was recommending the entrees and pizza we planned to order. Gotten my drinks and food the necessary time. Food: Pizza was excellent, nice crispy crust with their sauce that had actually gotten me addicted to have more slices even though i was too full. The pizza maker recommended pesto sauce with tomato plums and eggplant (thought i rather have meat on my pizza). Certainly everyone should try first coming to this restaurant. Pasta was a little disappointment. I asked the pizza maker if their noodles were house made and he said no, store bought kinds that come from a box. I wish i had asked before ordering because it really wouldnt be as authentic if they didnt make their noodles. So nothing so special for noodles so I do not recommend it. Though the sauce and kobe meatballs were quite good. The sauce tasted great though it kind of tasted like store bought marinara sauce that was added with their own twist. but the meatballs were incredibly good because as soon as you bite, it melts in your mouth. Drinks: I see the bartenders sample each of their special drinks with a tip of the straw. Definitely something that everyone should do before serving their creation. and it was quite good. My friend had a chocolate martini (i dont know the exact name) and she said it was very good. Price: Could be better... if they were to have the name "Pasta house" my personal opinion would be home made pasta thats made to order then I wouldnt of mind paying the price of my meal. (about $35 including tip) hopefully they read this review and have it to consideration. I expect if they make their dough for pizzas, would make sense to make their pasta as well Drink prices were actually fair as well, about 3 dollars for a coors light or 4 dollars for a sam adams seasonal? I lived in boston for quite sometime and seeing drink prices like that at a restaurant like pasta house, quite a good deal. What I think they can do better: It's already posted, I would rather have house made noodles to really make this restaurant italian and to have their prices slightly lower because I personally dont think the quality fits well for the price everyone else pays. Just my opinion Overall, I would come back for certain occasions like bringing someone out for their birthday or a date, but not exactly one of the places that makes me want to kill for their food. read more

My favorite Italian restaurant! The best chicken alfredo! Great drinks also. I go every year for my birthday!

It takes a lot for me to give a restaurant a 5 star rating. I mean, everything has to be spot on and there was one thing that almost had me going to a four star, but after thinking it through, the good far outweighed the "bad" at this restaurant. Lets start with the pleasant waitstaff, engaging and informative. Even the staff cleaning tables and serving water were pleasant and kept my water glass full, start to finish. So we know service is part one of a machine that must be well oiled to work. I order the special pizza of the day which featured prime rib, bleu cheese, caramelized onions and a balsamic vinnegret sauce. I was worried how all the tastes would fuse together but it was amazing. Probably one of the best pizzas I've ever had. The right amount of every ingredient and a carefulness to get it right was very evident. My family order a lobster roll (cooked perfect, not overwhelmed with mayo), chicken parmesan (tasty marinara with a nice crunchy piece of chicken cooked well) and a salmon plate (not too much butter and melted in your mouth). It was the dessert that made me think about the four to five star mark. I ordered fried ice cream and was disappointed to find my ice cream melted inside. That being said, everyone else enjoyed their dessert so again, it's well worth the five stars. This is an excellent restaurant that has a friendly staff serving exceptional food. By far highly recommended and we will be heading back there very soon.! read more

Perhaps the best dining experience in Fairhaven. Always new menu items and specials . Excellent choice of Draft beer and wines. Very attentive staff. read more

came here on a Fri night.. seated fast. The decor is more cafe like. There were 8 of us. It seems to me one must be careful about what to order here. half of us were very happy with there food... I was one who was not happy. I got a pizza, and besides being small, it was so whimpy on toppings... plain at best. Another got the sword fish and I was not gonna even taste it, I could tell by the look on his face he was not happy. But we were invited out for a birthday and thought it was not gonna go well if we bitched. The shrimp and corn chowder was not good either and over salted. My girlfriend got a salad and was happy with it. Cant say I would return....... read more

We had to wait 30 minutes but the bar staff was very friendly. Apps: Batata Caprese yummy waiting for entres read more

Over hyped and over priced. We ordered the lasagna and chicken parm, both tasted like they were left overs from last nights dinner service. There is better Italian to be had in this area. read more

Stopped in with a coworker for dinner. The food here was fantastic! I had the Stuffed Filet Mignon medium rare, and it was cooked to *perfection*. We sat at the bar because we were in clean work jeans and a company T and felt a little out of place. The dress code isn't necessarily "fancy" but it's probably a step up from your average Friday's or Applebee's. The 2 bar tenders were awesome (a pregnant woman and a guy). The perfect combination of professional and personal. Made you feel welcome and like one of the regulars without being annoying and hovering. I look forward to going back on my next trip to Mass. read more

This place was amazing !! Im very annoyed that I cant remember my waiters name because he was awesome!! The place was over all very Friendly and a beautiful place. I enjoyed my chicken Alfredo pasta it does come with a lot of Alfredo sauce I might ask for light sauce next time. read more

See all

My husband and I and another couple went to the Pasta House for dinner this past weekend. The wait was a little long but that just means the food is good. We were able to sit and enjoy some drinks at the bar. The girls were very attentive at the bar!! We didn't get the best seat in the house (the water table was behind us and got a little loud). Our waiter, Ryan, was absolutely awesome!!! He was very attentive and had a great personality!! Desserts were slow to come out but expected the place was packed!! Ryan checked in with us made some funny comments and made the wait worth it!! Ryan is definitely an asset and next time we will ask for him!!! read more

Amazing food! I am gluten free and they have a very nice gluten free menu ! They even have gluten free rolls and oil ! All around Amazing service and very accommodating ! My bf had the spicy shrimp scampi and loved it, while I had steak tips with mash and veggies ! Will be coming here again ! read more

This restaurant is okay. It is not the best for a couple of reasons... The food comes out cold some times. I was with a couple other people and their food came out cold as well... I ordered the Fettuccine Alfredo and half it was cold. The rest was just warm not hot. The whole restaurant is ice cold. I am not sure if their A.C. Is broken or what. I have been there about 5 times and it has always been cold. Overall, I give this a 2 star because the food is cold and the whole restaurant is cold too! Maybe I will change my review but right now it stands. read more

Just had lunch there with 7 of my friends. There was nothing classic about my "classic bolonase" and the pizzas looked burned and that's the second one that was remade. And it took a very long time to get our food. I do not recommend!! read more

I want to like this place. The staff is great. They're dong a great job with Covid but my meal really was bad. We started with the braised beef Arancini. 4 balls on a whipped ricotta bed. They were good except they were really salty. And I love salt. Both my wife and I said it. I passed it off as sometimes a prep cook May over salt. Not a deal breaker at all. My wife's peanutbutter martini was good. She loved her chicken parm. Now for me. I ordered the fruitti di mare. I get this often when I'm out. $26 and it was 4 littlenecks 2 yummy properly cooked scallops and 2 over cooked chewy shrimp. Maybe 3 ozs of seafood if that. Topped with an enormous amount of sauté onions. I mean a real lot. The white wine sauce was nothing to write home about. It actually wasn't good. It's served on linguine. When I order this at other places it's heaping with seafood. Big disappointment on that and not impressed with the sauce and what the hell is up with all those onions. I'm sorry pasta house. I would give one star if I went alone. We've been twice and my wife has been very happy both times. Happy wife = Happy life. Maybe 3rd time will be a charm. read more

Always a great dining experience here. Love the ribeye benedict w/ Portuguese hash. The Veal Oscar, the fruitti di mari & even the Portuguese Steak pizza is awesome. Zuppa Toscana is tasty too. Decent Bolognese, and I enjoy the chicken piccata as well. Great atmosphere. I have yet to have a bad meal here read more

Order from this place almost everyday and it is a regular for date nights, I called toady and ordered chicken parm ( NO PASTA, YES JUST A CHICKEN BREAST LOL) they charged me $11.77 now I have no problem paying extra for excellent food believe me, however This was the price for the entire meal so I call and speak to Christine a manager and she tells me "the price for Chicken parm is the price no matter what i could have got a substitute" ... so I explained they should have told me this That I would have absolutely did that,,,,So she then say's "ya Sorry, want me to make you a side salad?" like I'm gonna drive all the way back for a side salad ....Needless to say I will not be returning I don't care how good the food is if this is how you treat loyal customers I'm all set, read more

One of the best restaurants in the Southcoast! I am always pleased with my experience at The Pasta House! They have consistently provided great meals, generous portions and great service! The wine selection is also a plus! read more

A good solid 4 stars, could be a 5 also. Went here the night before the Superbowl. It was very crowded and almost thought of going someplace else but stayed and glad we did. We started with an Antipasto which was very fresh and had much better meat and cheese choices in it than other local places. Great fresh homemade seeming dressing also. I then had the Chicken Picata while my friend had the Eggplant Parm. We tasted each others meals and we were very impressed! very fresh and seemingly made from scratch. The bar was full so we did wait for a table, the dining area was crowded and noisy but our server (Missy) was FANTASTIC! We split a Crème Brule that was about average. Price, quality quantity .. things were all pretty good. read more

Great food never had a subpar meal ever here.... packed house on most nights. Tip. Go early

I really really wanted to like this place because disappointingly there is not much in this area for fine food to chose from. There is such potential here, but... sadly stated, the food lacks flavor. I don't understand ... the menu looks so enticing. I got a ceasar salad - nope, I had a few bites and even w/the cheese it just tasted bland. OK, so I'm a bit picky w/ceasar salads, but I usually finish them if I'm not blown away, this one I just couldn't. I then ordered the petite filet mignon with a port wine sauce, how could that possibly lack flavor? It did. I ate only half. Pasta House, if you are reading this please please find the flavor (more fresh ingredients?). I would be a weekly regular ................ read more

I love pasta house. Food is great, service is great, prices are great, food is great. I will ALWAYS come back here. Thank you Mario for being an amazing manager and running a fabulous business. 10/10 read more

My experience was terrible. I made reservations and I still had to wait in the parking lot for an hour. Then they still didn't call my name. I went up to check what was going on and they still didn't have a table ready for me. We finally got seated 1 1/2 hours later. Then the two parties that got seated after me got waited on and served before my party. Let's just say I'm not a happy camper read more

The service is perfect!! I always order the chourico baked scrod and it is delicious every time! My husband orders a variety of dishes, and he's never disappointed. read more
