After not coming back for awhile I decided to try Pasta Cafe again. The food had great flavor and service was good too. Not too many places you can get Italian walk out only charging 10 dollars. I'll be back for sure. read more

The food was really good, my Godfather pizza was amazing and the Calamari was so good. Our server was very nice and patient since it took me forever to decide what I wanted. I only give it four stars because the way their seating is set up our table and our neighbor's table behind us or in front, they are right on top of each other. We end u slamming into each other. It's just too tight. It is not very comfortable to be bumping into the person behind you read more

Pasta Cafe - Building front. - Italian Near Me - Roswell, New Mexico

Had one of the best Italian meals here. Hubs and I are traveling through Roswell and were in the mood for Italian. This place did not disappoint. Service was excellent as well. Would definitely eat here again. read more

Great food. I had the green chili chicken alfredo. It had great flavor, the only thing I didn't like was the chicken and asparagus being chopped and mixed in. Had a cannoli for dessert which could not have been any better. Our waitress was Natasha and was the best server we have had in Roswell. Great personality and great service. read more

Great Italian place. Free Warm bread with oil/vinegar. That's always a good sign it's a good Italian restaurant. Great service. Our server was prompt and helpful. Lobster Ravioli was very good. Fried calamari was yum. Chicken Marsala was delicious. Place is nice inside also. Clean and decorated nicely. read more

This is our 2nd visit in the last 6-months to Pasta Cafe. First was in March and it was 2 of us during lunch. The food was good and we were looking forward to coming back. Today, we went with a group of about 40 plus. We were quite disappointed. The place cannot adequately handle such a group. 1) The seating was quite tight. You undoubtedly elbowed your neighbor in the process and getting up would be a big undertaking without imposing on various. 2) The beverages were limited, either you didn't get a refill or you had to flag the limited staff down. We finally suggested to leave a pitcher of water on the table for convenience. 3) As in our lunch visit, we were provided bread, none this time, and with the chaos, it wasn't worth asking for. 4) The food came in all sorts of onsey, twosey deliveries. My partner did not receive hers until the very end, almost 1 hour after everybody. I ended up going to Paul the manager on duty to request assistance in expediting receipt. Unfortunately many of us sitting around her had the courtesy to wait, but our meals got cold in the interim. When the meal did arrive, there was no earnest, I apologize, etc. My daughter got meatballs and spaghetti which was a plentiful serving. In fact the other person next to her had not received her meal, so she ended up sharing with my daughter. When her meal finally came, she sent it back. 5) A cake was brought in by our party for sharing. The staff cut cake for one table but failed to do so for the other. At this point it wasn't worth pursuing. While I was able to persuade Paul to compensate me for the delay in meal delivery, I don't believe a $10 credit was worth the bad experience. I don't think I will be returning anytime soon. And certainly not recommending it. read more

Oh, pasta cafe. I have such mixed feelings. First, what's in a name? Not much if THIS is your name. It took me a long time to even bother goi g in. Honestly. On to the food. The food is expensive, but it was pretty good. Sure bet: the calamari with the slices of fried peppercinis/olives. I can't remember the name, but I've had it a few times, and it's absolutely delicious. Also they have a Bourbon pork chop thing that kind of rocked. Negative: the service. I had been a few times where we just left after the calamari appetizer because we had been there for over an hour without a drink refill. And the servers tend to get snarky with each other. It's ugly. Probably not worth the ugliness for one good appie, unfortunately. read more

For starters, we were given bread without any dipping sauce which we were told was coming. We ordered calamari for appetizer & majority of it was undercooked. Main course I ordered sesame salmon with 2 sides which I didn't even get & the waitress didn't even apologize for not giving it. The salmon was undercooked & the sauce was horrendous! I do not recommend this place. We came here coz it had a high rating. I don't know how. Place was disgusting. It is one of the worst experience I ever had. I didn't even want to give 1 star but I couldn't post my review without it!!! read more

This a review of a visit at 8:00 PM ON Monday, 16 March 2015. BOTTOM LINE - TERRIBLE FOOD, great wine, OBNOXIOUS atmosphere, good to fair service, OVER PRICED, and generally a waste of your money. I have been going to the Pasta Cafe since 2009, well before it was sold. In general terms, the quality has fluctuated almost as seasonally as the weather. In this instant case, the Caesar salad (??) was very limp and brown - the question marks denoting I question the label of this brown mess as (1) a salad, or (2) anything remotely representative of any "Ceasar". The Veal Piccatta, one of my favorites, was tough, strongly, over cooked, and the sauce was atrocious. The accompanying pasta was cold and without any flavor. Oh, let's not forget the loud and obnoxious bar flies, both females, who had to tell their life's stories - or whatever - at 65 decibels volumn in a somewhat empty restaurant, all while impressing the hangers-on. RECIMMENDATION. Save your indigestion, $$$, and hearing and find another eating establishment, because this one is low class, regardless of the impressive adverts. read more

This is a good place for Italian in Roswell. But I had the Prime Rib and Shrimp Scampi - which was very good. Our waiter was pretty good - I think he was new and seemed to try too hard. But he will get it - although he did forget our bread. We will be going back when we want good Italian. read more

For a smallish town, it's a nice facility. I don't think the food will make you sick. I'll know more in a couple of hours. The bartender was cordial and appeared to have tended bar before. He had only been there two weeks and hadn't learned the (short) wine list yet. So staff training is zero. The calamari were a hefty portion but unremarkable, as was the too-small dose of bland sauce. Lasagna was a single-serving dish featuring flat pasta and indistinct goo. Fettuccini Bolognese was barely warm, sweet, and short on meat. The menu is so big that you know there's a lot of thawing and re-heating going on in the kitchen. It's ordinary, that's all. We only tried basic, traditional dishes, which should be easy to execute. Maybe it's too much to expect inspired Italian cooking in Roswell, NM. We should have gone to the bull-riding competition and had corn dogs and funnel cakes. read more

Great service, delicious food! All the reviews for the calamari are beyond spot on, it is hands down delicious. Their salads are tasty and a good size to go with the meal and the lunch portions are very generous. I loved how attentive and sweet Miranda, our waitress, was. My husband enjoyed the chicken parmesan and my kids and I enjoyed the fettuccini Alfredo. We will definitely eat here again the next time we are passing through Roswell. read more

Pasta Cafe - This is a half order of calamari with some of it already eaten! It was amazing and the portion sizes are generous. - Italian Near Me - Roswell, New Mexico

It's so good, I ate here twice in the same day! First, I had the Chicken Parmesan for lunch, then came back for wine and the chicken alla vodka rigatoni. It was so good! All dishes were temperature "perfect" and tasty! They have a great selection of wine by the glass too! read more

I love Italian restaurants so I thought I'd give this place a try. Should've stayed in that night and saved my money. Ordered bruschetta as an app, chicken piccata for the entree, a $10 margarita as a drink and a creme brûlée as a dessert. Bruschetta came out fast, and I can understand why. The topping came out on a plate, pieces of bread surrounding a small bowl of the tomato topping. I've ordered bruschetta before and never had it presented this way. So I rationed out the toppings evenly over the bread. It could've been better with some balsamic vinegar drizzled on the bread and some mozzarella into the mix, but I suppose it was okay. The chicken piccata wasn't any better. The chicken was very bland tasting, no flavor at all. It was almost as if it sat in flour water. All I could taste was the horrible oil and garlic spaghetti, it was greasy and overpowering in taste. If you do order this, ask for regular spaghetti so maybe you can enjoy the lemon butter caper sauce with all the oil and garlic. Don't order the creme brûlée. It is served in a large container but the portion is very small. The thickness in the middle of the creme brûlée couldn't be more than a quarter of an inch and that's including the burnt sugar coating on top of it. I took a photo of the disappointment and didn't finish the rest. I was sure the waitress would've asked me what was wrong with my dessert after seeing how I only took one very tiny spoonful but nope, she took the sad dessert away. $40 later, left disappointed and unsatisfied. read more

Went there for a business dinner and loved the food! People were really great, they kept checking on us and guess what I liked most in this land locked city in New Mexico - the mussels!! The chile mussels had a great flavor, came with a nice spicy sauce.... Don't miss the Creme Brûlée!! Yummy!! read more

Pasta Cafe is a decent restaurant in Roswell. I had their Chicken Bella (pan-fried chicken covered in goat cheese with noodles in a garlic sauce, with lemon sauce mixed it). I thought it was pretty yummy! My kids had mac and cheese, but sad to say it might as well have been Kraft mac and cheese, so not that good. I was really hoping an Italian restaurant would have better mac and cheese. My husband had a porcini ribeye steak covered in mushroom sauce with veggies meal, but he said it tasted like the steak had been boiled first and then covered with the mushroom sauce -- barely any flavor at all. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive, so that was definitely a plus. read more

This place was lovely! Good, quick service. I got the Italian wedding soup and bruschetta. I found both to be a little salty, but still very good. My fiancé had the lasagna, which was wonderful. The bread and olive oil they bring it is delicious. If you're looking for a low key, nice dinner in Roswell- this place is great!! read more

Lunch hours are from 11 to 4pm...excellent meatball sandwich, Italian Ciabatta, and pasta salad plus turtle cheesecake all delicious...service was great as well...Highly recommend. read more

Portobello trifalato over arugula was amazing! All the salads are fresh and flavorful. Mozzarella caprese was delish! My angel hair pasta was mushy but everything else was great. read more

This is a great restaurant with great food, great service and good atmospheres. I had wine, lasagna and bread. It was all very good. We will definitely go back next time we are in Roswell. read more

Definitely stopped by this restaurant when we were visiting Roswell on a road trip. This is basically an upscale Olive Garden but the prices are very affordable. If you are craving Italian food, I definitely recommend this place. I ordered their special which was a Chicken Tortellini with their marinara sauce. It is a very simple dish and they executed it very well. They even had drinks in the restaurant which were also yummy. My server was very polite to me, my friends, and my dog. If you are traveling with dogs, they can seat you outside on the patio so, that can be an option. He brought out water and Grizzly was very welcomed. Keep up the good work guys and thank you for having us! read more

I always really enjoyed the food there. Don't miss their Fettuccine Alfredo! The atmosphere was nice, and the staff seemed to be really sincere. read more

We stopped by on out trip through Roswell. We ordered a variety of food spaghetti, chicken parm, meatball hero and chicken Marsala. Everything was fantastic and cooked perfectly. The staff was attentive and friendly. The prices are less than what a typical Italian lunch or dinner would cost at Olive Garden or similar. The portions were large enough to satisfy a hungry person or enough to have leftovers if desired. Definitely a good variety of food to choose from. We'll come by again the next time we pass through town. read more

Walked in and the hostess ignored as she passed right through our group. We weren't expecting to not even be greeted. We walked out after noticing the terribly dusty plastic flower arrangements. The smell wasn't very pleasant either. Overall bad experience without even trying the food read more

When we asked for a booth she sat us down and i noticed the table was lopsided . When i asked the waitress about it she was like " are you sure? I think we just need to push it all the way back" she pushed it back and it didnt help at all. We switched to a different booth. This booth was lopsided as well. I asked the waitress if they were all like this.she said no its not lopsided it just looks that way because of how the table is set.after my kids told her about six times each that they wanted dr pepper she walked away and i noticed that all of my kids crayons were rolling off the table and i wasnt crazy after all. I wondered how many times a day she went through all that nonsense .Poor girl. I was really annoyed at that point because here i was about to wine and dine my kids (who waste everything) and our dang table cant even sit up straight.it was my fault , we should have just gone to McDonald's. When the food got there i really started feeling a little better, my kids were able to split a pizza and it looks super delicious.my kids tore into the pizza and on their first bites the entire piece of cheese came off and they both started whining. I was like wtf seriously. So i tried a piece of the cheese and as i chewed it all the grease from it dissolved down my throat and the cheese i was chewing just would not break apart.i felt like i was chewing plastic and had to spit it out.im a cheese lover i really wanted to swallow that, but my stomach was like. Noooo......dont do it.my chicken parm looked like it came out of a lean cuisine box.it tasted good but the appearance really pissed me off. The bread they brought out in the beginning looked like blown up oyster crackers and they were cold.the garlic/ oil that came with it looked like sea weed floating in crisco. Im not trying to be ugly , this is really the only way i can describe it. I also could tell the building was originally built for asian cuisine wich was kinda funny so i gave them two stars for making me laugh. read more

My wife and I were very pleased with our experience at Pasta Café. The food was excellent and our waiter, Jesse, was very attentive. He got us what we need when we needed it. This was our first time eating here and we will most definitely be dining in again. read more

My boyfriend and I are currently on vacation for Spring Break and stopped in Roswell for the extra terrestrial culture and some good, local food. My immediate impression of Pasta Cafe among walking in was, "wow,". Dimly lit, quiet, and cozy, we knew we were in for a treat. Our waiter was incredibly nice and although the restaurant was mostly empty (this is obviously more of a dinner attraction) he gave us our space and did not hover. My boyfriend and I split a "Godfather" pizza, which was basically a Create-Your-Own option. I got mushrooms and onions on my half, and he had pepperoni on his. The food was PHENOMENAL! The sauce tasted fresh and tomato-y and not like pizza sauce from a jar or can. The crust was soft and flavorful, and it was perfectly portioned. YUM YUM!! The bathrooms were beautiful as well. Cozy, elaborate floor plan, and beautiful murals on the walls fitting the rest of the restaurant. While we may have come for aliens, Pasta Cafe was definitely our favorite part. :) read more

The food and service was amazing! Jesse, our waiter was an absolute sweetheart, he was so kind! He made sure all of our needs were met. Jesse was very attentive, made some amazing recommendations and made our experience here very comforting. We definitely will be back! Hopefully he will be our waiter in the future! read more

I love this place! Great service, food, and environment! Very similar 59 pasta cafe but we don't have that in this area. Very romantic set up. read more

Decent place, more of a "up scale" restaurant; food and service was good. complaints, but they don't have a grill...

Spending the night in Roswell and looked for a close Italian restaurant. The food was very good, service great, & prices reasonable. Struck gold! read more

Interesting service. A different server drops off a decanter for our wine. So we decant the bottle of wine. We refill our own wine glasses. Seriously question any allergy training that anyone but the manager Rick has received. The sauteed mushrooms were cooked in onions which we explicitly told the first server. Truly disappointing meal. Not sure where to even start on the taste and texture of the veal marsala. read more

The food was well prepared, slightly too salty. We came in during a shift change so the wait time unusually long for the restaurant being so quiet. The kept us up on bread which was nice. The green child dishes are excellent!! read more

It's a Friday and I assumed that this place would be busy, but it wasn't as busy as I thought it would be when i walk in. There was know one to greet me at the door. I waited for along time to be greeted or to be seated by anyone. Finally decided to flag down a server to see if maybe I needed to seat myself. I was finally seat and I continued To get poor service, but the food was good. read more
