We expected the focaccia to come out before the pastas or during but alas no bread. We waited a little bit before dining in to give them extra time and even asked twice. We were told it was coming. Our pastas were finished and now we were waiting for our desert. Other patrons who arrived later than us started to receive their orders and deserts while we were left forgotten. I went inside to see what was going on and pretty much asked if we could have it to go as our baby was beginning to get restless. The front desk misunderstood me and almost charged me again. It probably took about another 15 minutes before we got our items and were able to leave. Food is good but service needs work. Limited street parking in front. Dog friendly patio.

We went in for a Saturday or Sunday brunch and were able to walk in. The service was overall friendly and fast. The French omelet was heavenly. I am usually not an omelette person generally prefer a regular fried egg because I find the homogenous mixed egg to be a bit boring but with the filling inside this was a perfect balance of taste. I didn't get to take a pic to accompany it but the potatoes were also delicious. I can't wait to revisit

I got the blueberry maple latte and it was delicious. On the sweeter side so keep that in mind. I would reorder every day if I could. For food, I ordered the Monte Cristo. This is not really a traditional Monte Cristo. They made the sandwich with bread that was a little too thick and added Dijon mustard. The mustard was all I could taste even after smothering it in the maple syrup they give you (they did not add the fruit jam that is usual for the Monte Cristo).

I was expecting fast food pasta, but instead got flavorful sauces, lots of customization options, and well-cooked pasta. The Arrabbiata was restaurant-quality and actually had a kick. We added chicken to it and it was good chicken, no rubbery chewiness like chicken pastas tend to get. I also had a creamy pesto sauce that was very good. Service took about 60 seconds and I was in and out very quickly. This is an amazing option for a quick pick up in LP!

This review is for take-out service. I had never heard of Pasta Fasta until The Queen decided to…read moreorder dinner for everyone. This was her choice and I have to say it was a good one. The menu gives you options on the size: small, medium and large. The pasta arrived in these cute take-out boxes that resembled those like Chinese take-out. Good solid construction to prevent leakage and they hold up well the next day to microwave and eat from the box, if that is your thing. I didn't hold out hope of the meal being anything other than something solid to eat, and since I was not paying or having cook, I rolled with it. I ordered the Spinach Ricotta Cheese with lemon and heavy cream. The Doctor and The Queen got the Bolognese. For my order, I added chicken to it. The size of the box is deceiving: when I poured the contents out of the box and into a bowl, there was a lot of pasta! So much that I could not finish it all and had some leftovers for breakfast the next day. The flavors were really good and the pasta and chicken were well done. The sauce was very good as well. I would definitely do this again. I tried some of The Doctor's Bolognese and that was also a nice. I like that they also have add-ons to the pasta orders so you can dress up your dish, like extra cheese, sauce, broccoli, sunflower seeds, cherry tomatoes and olives. For a quick and easy, but delish take out pasta meal, Pasta Fasta is the place to go to.

The Food Breakdown: Cavatelli Shrimp Pesto (3/5): This was the best dish of the night, but it was ultimately just average. Lasagna Di Verdure (2/5): Pretty disappointing and lacked the flavor you'd expect. Pollo Angelina (1/5): A major miss. I really didn't enjoy this one at all. Service (4/5): The saving grace of the night! The service was good, and the staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and nice. Ambiance (2/5): Very plain and basic. There wasn't much atmosphere to speak of. Final Verdict: If you're going just for friendly service, the team here is great. But because the food was such a letdown, I won't be back.

The first time I had a basic red sauce pasta and the second time I tried the lobster ravioli. The filling on the ravioli was good but the sauce was just incredibly heavy and goopy. The pasta here is probably on par to basic home cooking. If you're looking for classic Italian, this may not be the spot. But if you need something filling and comforting then this is the place.

I had a couple espresso martinis which really hits the spot and set the vibes for a great meal. As my main, the bolognese was everything and I think about it often. They also have a gluten-free pasta available that they can do with most sauces. For dessert, I had the tiramisu which was lovely (because it's tiramisu so it has to be good). All in all, I hope to be back again soon.

I love a good Espresso Martini and they know how to make them here, great just as I remembered. We then ordered the meatballs appetizer and they were so tender and light, not dense or tough. Honestly these are among the best meatballs I've ever had. For my entree, I chose the lasagna de carne and it was awesome. A generous serving with just the right amount of sauce and cheese. Easily some of the best lasagna I've had. Overall, the food was excellent and I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone craving a great Italian pasta dish.

The staff was super attentive and kind, checking on us frequently. My friend and I stopped by for happy hour, and this should absolutely make it onto the list of the best in town. They have delicious wine, cocktails, and bites for nearly half of the regular price. I opted for the happy hour prosecco to drink, which was light-bodied and not too sweet. We split the meatballs and dates for bites and both were outstanding. I was super impressed with how tender the meatballs were, and they did not skimp on the flavorful marinara and cheese! The dates, which were topped with a white wine cheese sauce, were mouth-wateringly delicious and a must order. There was also complimentary focaccia with olive oil, which was greatly appreciated. With sea salt on top and a crispy exterior, I could easily have eaten a whole loaf. The only note I have is that the portions are small, so if you don't come during happy hour the prices are a bit steep for what you get. Will 100% be back soon to try more of the menu and highly recommend making the trek over here!

My partner and I arrived for dinner with my small service dog and her stroller. There was an open table on the patio that would have comfortably accommodated us. When we asked about it, we were not told it was reserved or that another party was waiting. Instead, the host stepped outside, looked at the table and at us, and then told us there would be a 30-minute wait because they "usually like to save the table for four." Had there genuinely been a wait for all tables, we would have completely understood. Being asked to wait 30 minutes while a suitable table sat empty felt incredibly unwelcoming. I reached out to management afterward hoping they would understand why the interaction was upsetting. Unfortunately, their response said they were "very sorry you didn't wait just a little bit," which only added to the disappointment. Thirty minutes while an available table sits empty is not "just a little bit." After years of enjoying and recommending PR Italian, we won't be returning.
