This place is pasta on the go. You walk in, order your pasta on the kiosk, wait a few minutes, and take it to go. It is a great concept and the pasta is fantastic. Probably the best carbonara I have ever had. I love that you can personalize it like a subway sandwich - adding toppings and what not. I also tried the alfredo sauce pasta, it was good, but the carbonara is where it is at! There is a bench inside the little lobby space, but no tables. I do wish there was one inside with this brutal heat but just know that before you go, it is pasta on the fly. There is a little table set up outside as well for dinning 'in'. I enjoyed the decor inside, there is a picture in a frame of the LA map that the person I was with, absolutely loved. The staff is beyond friendly and clearly talented with making some great, fresh pasta. There is no alcohol, just basic soft drinks and water. And I don't think they accept cash. I am hearing there will be one in Metry on Metry Rd near the dominos. I am sooooo excited about this. I hope it opens soon! read more

Bullshit reviews, it's so good. I got pappardale with vodka sauce, meatball, garlic confit, spinach and crimi mushrooms and it was perfect. The pappardale was the star! read more

I've been dreaming about a pasta specialty restaurant for years, and then came Pasta On The Fly! Look, I'll admit I'm biased because of my overwhelming love for all things pasta, from linguine to gnocchi (fight me). The simple formula is 'pasta'+'sauce'+'protein and toppings'=perfection. The pasta selection alone is awesome! It's hard for me to find pappardelle dishes, so this is a treat. There is a wide range of sauces, from traditional marinara to truffle umami and everything in between. All the ingredients are fresh and in generous portions. I love that there are fresh options like spinach and corn. A couple of my favorites are the papardelle in vodka sauce with chicken, corn, and bacon; and fusilli in truffle umami with italian sausage, spinach, cremini mushrooms and peas, yes peas. One more thing I love is that they often have specials advertised through UberEats like buy1get1 pastas or salads (the salads are great too!). The dishes are prepared quickly for take-out and delivery. I hope they're around for a LONG time! read more

Every pasta I tried was so delicious! They had the pasta shapes on the wall to help you choose which was super helpful! 10/10 will definitely be going back read more

Pasta On The Fly - Truffle Umami - Pasta Shops Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

I hadn't heard much good or bad about this place so tried it on a random Wednesday. The atmosphere and service aren't great but for a nice, flavorful bowl of quality pasta, it's pretty good. I don't think it's the best pasta or value but it's quick and they have lots of options. I got the truffle and mushroom sauce with pappardelle pasta and added sausage. The sausage was unnecessary and just made the pasta more expensive. Based on quality and quick service, I would go again if I wasn't in the mood to cook some Trader Joe's pasta and sauce at home. But overall, there are better places in the area to get good pasta at the same price if you add a protein. Overall it's good quick place to soothe a pasta craving. read more

I would not recommend this restaurant. We received somebody else's order. We then had to go back to the restaurant and pick up our correct order. The "corrected" order was still wrong as the chicken Alfredo didn't have any chicken. They were not apologetic and didn't offer a refund or anything. Very upset and will not be going back. read more

Pasta On The Fly, Maple Street. I rarely order delivery Italian , with the exception of Pizza, because it often doesn't travel well. Pasta On The Fly has shown me the error of my ways, delivering hot, fresh, very tasty pasta that made for an excellent dining experience. We ordered Holy Carbonara on Spaghetti, Olive Oil and Fresh Herbs on Fusilli, and Creamy Cacio E Pepe on Bucatini. Very good choices. We also ordered a Super Caesar Salad, which was delicious. Kudos, again, to DoorDash, who got the hot food to our door in record time. Thank You, Henry! Pasta On The Fly, Maple Street -- Four Stars. I would be happy to dine with Pasta On The Fly in person or order delivery again. read more

We arrived a couple minutes after opening and they weren't ready for business yet but they were friendly enough and let us sit inside. We thought the pasta dishes were really good my wife got the Alfredo and I got the spicy Sicilian. Wasn't much spice there but was solid. read more

You can make better pasta at home honestly. For places like this I always stay simple with spaghetti and meatballs. They were average. My boyfriend got the Cajun pasta and wasn't wow'd at all. He ate some of my spaghetti. This is probably a one and done place for me. However, if you just want something quick and simple this may be the place for you. read more

Perfect little spot for grab and go or to eat at one of the outdoor tables. All the pastas we tried were really great! The truffle parpadelle and holy carb with fettuccine were my favs. Should out to the cashier for recommending the carb! read more

This was supposed to be a quick stop for pasta. It's a fast food spot, after all. The concept is straightforward: bagged noodles, pulled from the fridge, heated in a pan, finished with (probably canned) sauce. I even appreciate the effort to make it feel somewhat made-to-order. But let's be real: this is not scratch-made pasta, and the process should be fast and simple. So why did I leave 35 minutes later with no food? Timeline: 6:15 p.m. -- I placed my order at the self service device. Got a timestamped receipt. 6:35 p.m. -- Still no food. I asked for an update the requested my transaction to be voided. 6:50 p.m. -- I left. Still with no food. When I requested the transaction be voided he said ok, then I asked for a receipt, the gentleman identified himself as the owner and told me he was "too busy" in the kitchen to process it right away. That alone seemed odd--why is voiding a transaction dependent on someone going to the back? There's really no way to void a transaction without waiting until the end of the night? But remember, the tablet at the front was self service, so operationally there perhaps needs to be some changes made to allow for better business practices... but It's still hard to believe the best solution the owner could come up with was to wait until he could get around to it. Not only was this poor customer service, but it's also bad business practice to ask customers to trust you on something as simple as reversing a transaction without any proof or paperwork that it would happen. I'm 100% sure a customer could NEVER walk out of POTF (or anywhere) with hot prepared food in hand and simply tell the owner, "Trust me, I'll bring the money back." The fact that the owner thought I should just trust him was beyond belief and the fact that he was the owner making that suggestion is crazier, although I'm sure he thought that would ease the apprehension. Unfortunately for him my request wasn't unreasonable, It's a basic business practice to provide documentation when transactions are voided...something the owner failed to grasp. Instead of fixing the issue, the owner proceeded to stock bags and handle more payments, further overwhelming the staff. It seemed clear that his priority was ensuring money was collected, not ensuring that orders were completed. At that point it seems like the kitchen fell further behind... Let's talk about the space: The lobby is cozy, but it's clear that it can't handle much. Further indicative of how quick the service should always be, the waiting area is not designed to accommodate a prolonged wait, there is a small bench along the wall and standing space for no more than 15 maybe 20 people....Yet, when I left, there were lots of people waiting, either for their orders, Uber deliveries, or just to place a new order and a few did receive there order even after ordering after me. But the small, cramped space was overwhelmed by the volume of customers, and it seemed clear the staff couldn't keep up as well. I'll be honest, plenty of restaurants make fresh, handmade dishes that take about the same amount of time as my order (which never materialized). At those places, you get thoughtful service and maybe even a great glass of wine. This spot, on the other hand, is smack dab in the heart of Uptown, within walking distance of the university. The target clientele may have has low expectations, and unfortunately it seems, that's exactly what this business seems to be banking on. I truly get it, bad nights happen. But when things go wrong, it's the owner's job to step up. Instead, he doubled down on disorganization and left a paying customer empty-handed. Fast food doesn't need to be fancy, but it does need to be FAST, as a small biz it does need to care about the people paying for their products. Sadly, this place missed the mark on all counts. I'm sure this comment is just a drop in the ocean, but I'll end with this: if you're considering this place, set your expectations VERY LOW and don't order if you're in a hurry, perhaps even avoid ordering on a Saturday/weekends, maybe those days are the most overwhelming for POTF read more

i started ordering from this restaurant on doordash recently because i work close by and i will keep doing so because the pasta is SO GOOD! i ordered most recently this past monday and also got a ceasar salad and that was also delicious. definitely recommend this restaurant! read more

It was pretty good! Honestly, on par with what you get from restaurant pasta (both "lower end" and more "fancy"). I got the carbonara with a couple of subtractions and additions, and it was tasty! I definitley had to add seasonings at home but again, I've never not had to add seasonings to a pasta lol. The pappardelle noodles were the perfect size for being coated with the rich sauce. So, I wouldn't say that you should totally drop everything and try it, but if you're in the neighborhood and feel like loading up on some carbs, it's worth it! read more

Pasta On The Fly - Holy Carbonara, no bacon; add chicken and cherry tomatoes - Pasta Shops Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Was excited to try this place after seeing it on Instagram and Tik Tok. However, it was a flop. We both ordered the Carbonara with pappardelle noodles. It's a nice option that you can choose your type of noodle. However, the Carbonara was quite dry and lacking much flavor. The Caesar salad was the best thing we ordered, and even that was lacking flavor and needed much more dressing. read more

I was having a craving for pasta, and this restaurant popped up on UberEats. I was excited to see they had carbonara and ordered it as well as the tigelle for delivery. And I must say, I'm impressed! It's so good especially the sauce and the tigelle is perfect. I highly recommend their food, and next time I want pasta I know exactly where I'm going! I did include photos, but please keep in mind I paid extra for the chicken and mushrooms in the holy carbonara. Also I did take a couple bites out of the tigelle before I snapped a picture. read more

Great option if you want quality food quick. Their pastas are freshly made and you can customize the sauce, shape, and toppings. I really liked the Spicy Sicilian (not spicy but flavorful) and I added chicken which was really good. Service was awesome. The owner and his team are really nice. It's a small place so mostly takeout although they do have 2 small tables outside. read more

I saw this place off Tik Tok and decided to give it a try. The place is so hot on the inside? There was like no AC going to the point where sitting outside in the humid weather was better. The food was very mid. It was very dry and the chicken was cut up into tiny cubes. It was $18 for this sad chicken alfredo. Olive garden would have been better for price and portion. read more

Only takeout. The food was excellent, made to order. Service was kind, considerate and attentive.

Ordered through UberEats. They put Pecans in my salad despite me specifically instructing not to in the online order. Ok. 1 mistake (albeit a big one). I call them. They say they'll remake it free of charge, but that I have to pick it up at the restaurant (and not have it delivered through Uber). Ok. Not ideal, but I'm hungry. They said it will be ready in 10-15 minutes. I run a mile to the physical location, arriving 20 minutes after the call. When I get there, there are only two teenagers working: one in the front and one in the back. They hadn't even started working on my order yet... read more

Ordered on DoorDash - Pasta with red sauce was ok, I added bacon which was definitely needed flavor wise but overall it was not too different than throwing some prego on some noodles at home. The tigelle had a very foul smell to it when it arrived so I didn't actually try it. read more

The worst place I've ever ordered food from. Opened my pasta dish and saw a container of sauce...how do you forget the pasta in a pasta dish? Then, I opened my meatballs, only to realize they were raw on the inside. Never again. Wildly dissapointed and horrified. When I called to discuss my frustration and to get the manager on the phone, she hung up on me. Just terrible. read more

We ordered from this local spot over the holidays and were pleasantly surprised. The food was fresh, hot and abundant (they said it was 6 oz of pasta). The salad was ok; the pasta was excellent. We had spaghetti and meatballs, fusilli with sausage, and rigatoni. Each order easily fed 2-3 adults. We were 9 hungry adults and a toddler and had plenty of leftovers. We will order again. read more

My go to pasta place I love it , make your own plate and it's very quick and simple it's a to go spot so order ahead of time !

My wife introduced me to this place and thank goodness she did! Now, we have been there 3 or 4 times and the food is delicious. The Alfredo sauce with chicken is excellent! Give this place a try and you will not regret it. read more

This place is Not good for delivery . Usually the sauce has dried out by the time it gets to you.

I got the holy carbonara pasta which the staff recommended last night, so good definitely try!

I ordered the pasta carbonara via DoorDash and it was pretty yummy just not a very big portion and was more greasy than creamy. The caesar salad was almost the same price as the pasta entree and was incredibly underwhelming and also a small portion. I ordered via DoorDash and for only the pasta and salad with all the fees my total came out to $40. I would say for that much money the portions weren't acceptable and it overall wasn't worth if for the cost. I love supporting local and just wish their portions were bigger or their prices were lower to make up for the excessive cost via DoorDash. read more

Quick service, delightful staff, happy to accommodate allergies, delicious food, a bit expensive for a to-go meal but understandable as they make everything fresh. Try the Creole cream sauce with grilled chicken! read more

I ordered the Carbonara, fettuccini add shrimp. I walked 20 ft to my car and just ate it there so it would be fresh. It was piping hot, but it was too hot. The thin fettuccine was cooked to an appalling mush, the shrimp were rubbery and also over cooked. If I would've drove 10 min and the food would have continued to cook in the container, it would've been even worse. The owners/cooks need to take this into account as it is take out only. This place has the potential to do well but you're not winning over people with bad pasta at a place with pasta in the name. Cook the pasta al dente, coat it in the warmed sauce and package it. That's it! Do not let it cook in the sauce until it reaches 1000 degrees because you are ruining it. And stop overcooking shrimp! It only takes 2-3 min. For Christ sake season it with at least some s&p. And when you do all that message me because I want to come back and try it for free bc you robbed me today of $20. read more

Was excited to try a new place but was really disappointed. The Caesar salad was bland (croutons had no flavor). Spaghetti & Meatballs we're ok. Meatballs were salty & sauce tasted like it came out of a can. My husband got the Spicy Sicilian & he wasn't impressed either. Will stick with the local Italian places from now on. read more
