The sandwiches from Pasta Js were very disappointing I make better ones at home and for less money. We got Italian subs Both were on every day sub rolls, then mine had about four small pieces of Italian sausage from a pizza. The other had a few pieces of pepperoni (I expected it to have other meat also) That was it $8.99 each I'll go back to Subway. read more

The worst restaurant I have never been to. You're better off going to sonic next door. I ordered the chicken pesto with sautéed veggies and it was straight frozen from a bag with some basil on top. Wonder garlic bread and super oily side salad. The waitress forgot about us! Never again! Save yourself a stomach ache and money and go elsewhere. read more

Pasta J Italian - Chicken pesto Pesto Grilled Chicken with Sauteed Vegetables - Italian Near Me - Benton, Arkansas

can i be completely honest? salad is a little soggy, i do like the seasonings though, very citrisy i like that! spaghetti is underwhelming. chicken is drier than the sahara desert. its just ok, its basic, its edible, it fills you up but you won't really enjoy it. service is good. building is decent. read more

We had the garlic chicken for lunch. It was delicious! The salads were fresh and the dressing was light and slightly tangy. Perfect! The waitress was very attentive. When our glasses were half full, she was there with refills. Very enjoyable!! read more

So disappointed! This is the 3rd time we have tried what used to be one if my family's favorites. Especially the girls! We have celebrated many bday dinners here! Last time they only had one waitress but said food in 20-30 minutes. 55 minutes in we still had nothing. Had movie tickets So we left. Tonight called in a to go order. She repeated it. They only gave me 1 of 2 pasta dinners and a burned pizza. Waited 45 minutes for 2nd order. Sauce was so clumpy and bread may have been from lunch. Don't know what has happened to this place but won't make me this mistake again. read more

I have a feeling this place won't be open much longer. The food has been less than good on more than one occasion. I'm convinced they're using jar sauce! You only get that weird school lunch taste from jar sauce.. it's always empty and there is just no way to keep putting out fresh items without a busy clientele . I rarely write reviews but I would not recommend this place . read more

I use to absolutely love this place growing up. Haven't been in years, came by to eat it and was so disappointed. Walked in, there was a sign that said "please seat yourself". That was kind of hard considering every table that wasn't occupied hadn't been cleaned off. There was a table with kids and the kids were running around the restaurant like it was their own personal playground. My friend and I had to go seat ourselves in a room off to the side. We were never greeted, asked for our beverage order, weren't given menus. Completely ignored. We sat there for a few minutes just giving them the benefit of the doubt even though they weren't busy at all. So so sad because I love their food. read more

Cheese bread sticks are fantastic! Hubby had the 4-meat pizza and I tried the Italian Beef Stroganoff. Both were excellent!! It's not a fancy place, but it is clean and our server was extremely pleasant and helpful. They have quite a selection of various Italian dishes: sandwiches, pizza, pastas. And more. Plus several scrumptious desserts! Plan to arrive hungry as the servings are generous. One of our favorite places to go now!! read more

They get my order wrong every single time! Never been to an Italian restaurant that couldn't figure out penne noodles and no cabbage in a salad. Silly!! read more

I have spent hundreds of dollars at this place in the last 6 months alone. They have good food BUT I ordered 2 kids spaghettis for a total of over $10 and we were given the equivalent amount of about 2 twirls of the fork (aka 2 bites) of spaghetti per kids meal. I'm super upset and we will never be back. You should be embarrassed to charge someone $10 for 4 bites of spaghetti for their kids. Pictures posted. read more

Great service!! The night manager, Paige, was awesome. Very nice and personable. We definitely had a great overall experience.

Sorry for the book review but I have a lot to say: So really disappointed a few weeks ago I took my two little boys on a date night it was a Wednesday we were kindly greeted and they mentioned kids eat for .99 on Wednesday's and Saturday's as soon as we walked in. Well that's Awesome I thought win-win! Our service & food was amazing even tho they ran out of the kids cheese pizzas my boys were ok and settled for another menu item no complaints. My son even mentioned to the manager after we finished that it was better than Olive Garden. They joked and wanted him to leave a review. So after bragging to my husband he wanted to take us for a family dinner tonight so I could have a break from cooking. Tonight it completely back fired we had the same waitress I was thinking we're in luck. And my boys were sooo happy because they thought she was the sweetest well I guess everyone has an off day right because there was a bit of attitude tonight. We ordered waited 20minutes and she came back to our table and was told they needed our order again it got lost ummm ok so we sat patiently waited another 20 or more minutes and slowly our food started coming out "not all together though" my husband and 2 y/o was the last to be served while we were halfway through. We ended up getting to go boxes and our ticket. We only had one kids meal taken off and when I mentioned it she said she could only take one off at a time umm that's b.s and the dumbest thing I've heard. When I sat there looking at this ticket she asked if there was a problem. I said yesss there was only one meal discounted we ordered 3. She then gets an attitude and says I dunno I'll try and fix it. She then only gives me the same reprinted ticket with 25% off. Which was an employee discount. Makes no sense! Why advertise if you don't honor it??? Well we have had our fix. 2nd time and complete bad experience. Hope you have better luck than we did. read more

Went in at lunch. Place was deserted. Two of us ordered dishes with chicken. Both were lukewarm and the chicken bone dry and hard as a rock. It was like it was left over from the night before and overcooked in a microwave. One other person had a pizza and it was okay. read more

I went in to place an order of Chicken Alfredo to be picked up in 20min they old me I wound take longer than 10min. I went to some few stores before coming back for my order. I came back 20min later to pick it up my order. The lady up front went to check on it but nothing. 20min went by and I was still waiting on it. Until she saw me again and wonder why I still haven't gotten my food. Well she come back and told me that they had forgotten to make my food. She didn't even offer a discount or a refund for me 30min for food that should of been done 50 min ago. That was very upsetting! read more

Nice place. Friendly, courteous staff. Pasta well prepaired, sauces were spot on. I will return. If your in the area it is well worth your time. read more

Best Minestrone soup ive ever had! We had beef ravioli and garlic chicken pasta! Its was great! New owners so few hiccups! Folks it may not be 100% homemade but the taste is 100% fantastic! Changes? Add couple tomatoes and maybe onion to the salad. Well done! read more

Pasta was overcooked and gummy. Marinara sauce tasted like ketchup mixed with tomato paste sold in industrial sized cans. Cheese ravioli filling was tasty, but the meat filling tasted far too strongly of spices so that and any meat inside was indistinguishable. Service is strange - walk up to the front counter and order from menus printed and posted on the walls. Very odd for an Italian place to not have a dedicated wait staff to take orders at the table. Pass this place up. read more

Great meal for the price. Huge portions and tasty. Had the combo meal with spaghetti and meat sauce, lasagna, and spaghetti with Alfredo sauce. Meat sauce is a little sweet but good. Lasagna was delicious. Alfredo sauce was a little thin but the combo was $11.99 so for the price it was great. Will come back again. read more

Pasta J Italian - This is the combo dinner. Make sure you are hungry. - Italian Near Me - Benton, Arkansas

This place is a chain but puts out some pretty decent food. I recently had the chicken Alfredo with penne pasta and the portion was good and the taste was on point. They even added some more pasta on request. read more

Honestly, the only thing saving this review is that my boyfriend's pasta was above average and our drinks stayed full the whole time we were there. The "salad" was disappointing and my pasta with chicken was very mediocre. I can't imagine how long our food would've taken if the restaurant was even decently busy because we were one of 2 tables in the restaurant and our food took about 30 min. Very disappointing. Will not be back read more

I got the spaghetti with meat sauce (it was ok) and my date got the chicken Alfredo which was amazing! And the tiramisu was phenomenal. My recommendations: Alfredo and tiramisu, you won't be disappointed with those! read more

Great pasta and staff is friendly. It used to be a quick serve place but now offers full dine in. New menu items and has done a remodel! Clean and fresh! Kids .99 kids days and they serve beer and wine read more

Excellent food and nicest folks working there. I recommend fresh cooked Italian food and excellent salad.

I went to this restaurant the first time and I was truly in love, I waited a while but it was Valentine's Day so I was super understanding and the food was amazing. I went yesterday for the second time and of course I expected the same. This time the food was not good at all. It taste like a bunch of pepper. I expressed my concern and they told me to bring it back so I brought it all back with the exception of the two salads because we ate them and I explained that I was just kind of turned off and just wanted a refund for my pastas (though I bought 2 pastas, an appetizer for which they gave me extremely hard chips, a dessert that I did not like, and 2 salads) At this time I just felt like it was a bad day but I would come back one day just not that day. I was told the manager that handles online refunds was not in but they kept the food and they would call me later. I said ok, no one ever called so I called a few hours later for them to tell me she was gone for the day. I called back this morning for her to tell me she would not refund me for one pasta which was the blackened salmon but she would refund the other. She said the blackened salmon was suppose to taste that way basically too bad if you didn't like it. I was tired of going back and forward explaining that not only was it spicy but it was bland in flavor and just taste like a bunch of pepper, so I asked if I could just have another pasta if she wasn't giving my money back, because I know if I paid for something I would need goods and services or money. She told me NO it was in the trash and I was a waste of her time. I would never go back to this location and not because they had a bad day but because I found the owner to be very rude my second time at this restaurant especially when I spoke so highly of them after the first time. I post on all my social media for people to go there and I'm not going to be rude and make a facebook post or anything but I'm highly disappointed! Especially when I felt that there were already preconceived notion's walking in the door because of the color of my skin read more

Great little place just a bit off the highway. Stopped here while on a road trip, looking for pasta for lunch and was not disappointed! Quick service and great prices! Would definitely recommend. read more

Great little pasta place! One of my favorite places to eat in Benton. I love their unique house salad dressing. Best part is, there are not many places to eat when you don't eat meat, but here, I have several choices, not just salad. Spaghetti with marinara is delicious. Great food and great service! read more
