Had lunch there. We showed up reasonably early before the crowds and the service was slow. As a result, our food showed up cold. I don't know whether to blame the wait staff for letting it sit too long or the kitchen for not properly heating up (yes, heating up, not cooking fresh) our stuff. Overall, the food was pretty bland and lacking in taste. The one really good thing was a the bread. read more

wow this place is loud! Food is great, service is good. When they are crowded, food take longer to be prepared and delivered to the table but that is to be expected. The seating arrangement makes for a tight space. I love the sandwiches and my 16 year old loves being able to make her own pasta dish. The hummus appetizer is really good. read more

The service was ok!!! The food taste as if someone inexperienced cooked it at home. It killed hunger but was not worth the time we spent there. I ordered eggplant Parmesan and a vegetarian eggplant meal with pasta. Both were drowned in tomato sauce which was thick as tomato paste. Don't waste your time unless looking for an outstanding meal unless you feel you have nowhere else to go. I would suggest going to Brixx across the street for a better meal!!!!! read more

Really good value. Been here several times and always walk away having felt good about the dining experience. Solid all the way around.

Nice ambience. Great food. Excellent service. We got the eggplant parmesan with linguine and a side salad for just $12. Yummy bread rolls. Will come back! read more

Ordered lunch for meeting. Bread was warm when it arrived for delivery. Brownies 2 die 4!! Chicken Quinoa salad was great! Will order again!

The food was hot, fresh, and delicious. Had the Big Easy pasta dish, an appetizer, and the strawberry cake. The strawberry cake was baked with fresh strawberries (yum!) and they had many other desserts to choose from as well. They have a nice selection of wines and the classic Italian entrees you'd expect. Service was excellent. Julian did an awesome job. read more

I went here with my Dad, his partner, my husband and my 7 year old. All of the food was good, and just the right portion, not too much! It didn't really matter though since I was so disappointed in my sons meal. He ordered the cheese pizza from the kids menu. They brought a piece of bread with melted cheese on it, and charged us $7 for it. I complained to the waitress, who did nothing. I don't understand why restaurants with such delicious food would think of children as second class customers that don't matter. Families like to eat out too. read more

Came here last night with my daughter and granddaughter. My boyfriend and I order lasagna to go at least once a month and it's fabulous. I ordered the veal parmigiana and it tasted like those frozen pre-breaded cutlets you can buy in the supermarket. Not the way fresh made veal parm looks, feels or tasted. Very disappointing. Nice wine list. Service was semi-slow but it was a busy Sat night and the wait wasn't but 20 mins. Will definitely come again -the veal. Didn't get dessert but they looked divine. read more

Fantastic meal! Everything was amazing. We had lasagna and veal parmigiana that was sooo good. The service was awesome and we will be back the next time we pass through Greensboro. read more

Fast service and delicious food! Bread was amazing! Portions were great and the variety of options to create your own pasta were plentiful. Would definitely return! read more

I've been a patron here for over 8 years. Cindy has a wonderful place that focuses on personal service and great food. The staff is engaging, fun and personable. Great local establishment. read more

I'm literally writing this review from my table right now. I ordered "The Traditional" pasta and it was awful. The pasta was over cooked, the meatballs were frozen and the sauce was a cheesy messy paste that oozed over my plate. Never eating here again.

First and foremost, they have great food! They have a convenient phone order and curbside pickup system. I like the fact that I could pay over the phone and have little personal contact for pick up. Also a plus, the waitress wore a mask for curbside pickup. With COVID still prevalent, they have met the challenge. I will return, especially since the menu has lots of choices! read more

Wow! I wish I could give more stars! I discovered this place through Google Maps and have to say that all their reviews are so correct. This place has now become my NO 1 Italian eatery. The bread is just wow! Even though I was not that hungry, I ate 6 little bread rolls... crusty from outside, and soft like wool from inside.. too good! :D. I am a vegetarian and so tried our their 'Braveheart' pasta. Even that was awesome! Amazing flavor blend of artichoke hearts, black olives, tomatoes and fennel seeds. This was the first time, I had fennel seeds in pasta. It tastes just too good! Now I am going to try out all their veggie dishes one my one.. and then repeat. I went there alone.. but it surely is a great place for dinner dates too... with great food, great wine and live romantic music and guitar in the background :) Last imp note... I have to say that the bartender's service was great... though he was a bit bemused when I ordered the bread third time (2 bread rolls in each serving) :) read more

First time ordering and eating from this restaurant yesterday. It was my Birthday and I did not want to cook. I ordered 3 Lasagna w/ salad and extra rolls. When I got home the Lasagna we're dry did not have any red sauce and I could tell this was not fresh lasagna. It was old. The knock knock rolls were hard and could have been used as weapons. I was definitely disappointed and will not be going back. read more

Tiny salad!!!!- ordered out on a whim wanted a nice fresh Greek salad- apparently I went to the wrong place! And I paid $10 for this!?!?! Never again! Super disappointing- especially after hearing great things about this place. See photo of you don't believe me :-/ read more

Delicious food reasonably prices. I was in the mood for a bowl of spaghetti and theirs definitely hit the spot! They have a variety for great options. read more

The first time I came it was great; whither the Pastabilities of yore? The pesto was pretty flavorless, the seafood pasta special was fishy, but the beer and wine selection was great and priced to own. Excellent service and green bean fries though - just like in the Old Country! read more

I wanted to love it. The people were wonderful! Super helpful when I called to order, friendly, charming, knowledgeable, etc, I just didn't love the food. It was just ok. I ordered the Gotcha Foccacia, which was way too hard to bite into. I didn't get much of an herb flavor either - a bit bland...unfortunately so was the Shrimp with a Twist, just not a lot of flavor. Darn! read more

Pastabilities is one of the nice places to get a elevated pasta lunch or dinner with out breaking your bank. The atmosphere is subtlety upscale with still a home quality to it, the food is prepared the same way. The lunch is usually what I go over there for, I love the chicken carbonara, it a good size meal prepped gentle with savory sauce and chicken. Overall pastabilities is a good go to place for families, Lunch dates and more. Check it out. read more

Love that they deliver and the food is always fresh. I don't dine in much, but anytime I have, the service was great. The delivery people are friendly and seem to enjoy working for them. Our favorites are the chicken parmigiana and the rainbow chicken! read more

This is one of my favorite places to go in Greensboro. I have dined here the past three years I have visited. The atmosphere is very quaint and homey. The food is absolutely delicious. I got the low carb shrimp and it had great flavor and was just what I was craving! I also got their roasted chicken and rice soup and it was very flavorful. Staff is great and has treated me so kindly every time I have visited. Definitely a place to visit in Greensboro! read more

This place is awesome! The create your own pasta is phenomenal and has something for everyone. The carry out and delivery options make this place unique. The staff were remarkably friendly and the food was great AND a good deal. Highly recommend this if you're craving some pasta. read more

Good food at a good price. Our latest trip was for dinner on Dec. 1. We were seated and served right away. As you could guess from the restaurant's name, the specialties are pasta dishes. These range from the traditional (there's actually a penne and meatball dish with that name with a tomato, cream and onion sauce) to more creative Asian- and Cajun-inspired plates. There are daily specials and a "create your own" menu. All of it is very fresh and reasonably portioned. Pastabilities also has a full bar and a good selection of wines and beers; it also has an excellent dessert menu, including cheesecakes by Alex. Because of the variety in the menu, it's a great place for a group dinner--nice enough to impress AND everyone will be able to find something that they like. read more

Actually 3.5 stars since I've only been once, keep wanting to go back but it seems I always have a craving on Sunday and they are not open at all on Sundays. Shame! The menu was interesting and creative, and everything that I had was delicious. Service was friendly and prompt. The atmosphere is nice there - definitely a neat spot for a date - but the tables are crammed in quite close to one another and it can get noisy, especially at dinnertime Friday and Saturday. It's a little hard to find and the parking lot can be crowded. But, definitely check it out.. especially if you love a make-your-own since you can either pick from their combinations or design your own pasta dish. Full selection of beers, wines and a bar. read more

The place looks great, and the service was very good, but the food itself was only so-so. Prices seem reasonable, but beer is very expensive and the kid's meals don't come with a drink. So expect to shell out nearly as much as you would for an adult's meal all said and done ($1.75 for a small chocolate milk? Come on). My wife and I were talking about how we'd come back right up until we got the bill. It's a fine place to eat, but it wasn't worth what we paid. There has to be a better Italian place in Greensboro, doesn't there? read more

Do not go. The absolute worst food we have ever experienced. The pasta was inedible. They don't know what chicken Parmesan is (brought us chicken tenders.) incredible that they are in business. Wake up Greensboro! The rolls were good and the staff was kind. read more

Kasey was so awesome and made the evening even more enjoyable and then came along the decadent shrimp trio and a brilliant pasta sauce my husband and I will definitely be back again a true family environment with an adult twist read more

My husband and I have frequented here several times and have never been disappointed. We have had both pasta dishes and sandwiches,each prepared with fresh ingredients. The wait staff is wonderful and the ambiance is cozy. Prices are reasonable for the quality of food you are getting. A great little gem of a restaurant. Do give it a try! read more

I can't say enough good things about this restaurant. The food was delicious and the perfect comfort food. Thank you, Deanna, for your patience & assisting me in my order. read more

We love this restaurant! It's one of our favorite go-to places! We live in Reidsville, a 30 minute drive away, but enjoy traveling to Greensboro for lunch on Saturdays and often end up here. They open at 11:30 AM, which is when we usually arrive. No crowds, plenty of seating, and fast service....always the case when you like to eat early. My husband and I almost always order the same thing. For me, it's a build-your-own-pasta with marinara sauce and grilled shrimp. Generous portion of shrimp; generous serving of the dish altogether. Add a side salad with their fabulous Mexican ranch dressing, plus the complimentary bread, and you have more than enough for lunch! My husband usually gets a pasta dish with shrimp and Alfredo sauce...huge portion, and he loves it. He also really likes their sandwiches. Don't forget the key lime pie! It's fabulous! One month we came here for lunch three Saturdays in a row, and the waitress remembered us and our drink preferences! Now THAT is great service! read more

There were a few things I really liked here. But there were more that I didn't. The menu reflected an American fare restaurant with a bit of Italian meals included. First, the calamari appetizer was the best I have had in awhile. I liked the atmosphere, small and quaint. They had a great selection for beers on tap and crafted. They had a great dessert selection too. I understand it is all homemade by the owner's mother. Things I didn't like were the main meals. The lasagna was made without ricotta cheese, A big NO NO! The waitress said they had cottage cheese in the casserole, but my husband took the lasagna apart to inspect it. All we saw was meat , sauce and mozzarella. My meal was disappointing as well. I ordered under the make your own pasta, (which is a neat concept). I included roasted eggplant in my dish. The eggplant was so finely chopped it was unrecognizable and tasteless. I was not crazy about the marinara sauce over my pasta too. So still my search for a great italian restaurant in the south continues. sigh read more

Great, always changing, menu! Warm and welcoming staff! Best tiramisu in greensboro . My husband and I have been going there for years and have never been disappointed! They always deliver locally free of charge! read more

I have extreme high expectations when it comes to Italian food especially desserts. My fav Italian dessert is tiramisu. Pastabilties is the only place in the Greensboro area that has it on point. There is substantial amount of lady fingers. The cream is not overwhelming. The chocolate powder is refreshing on top. You want Italian ? stop by here and not an chain Italian place read more

Well I went back to Pastabilities the other day to give it another shot. I will say that it was much better than the first visit. However this time I did the "Create your own pasta" option. I think I made a great dish. It was hot, the ingredients were fresh but still something was missing. I wish I could put my finger on it. The service was still good. I will say that there is something I would change. The decor in the place is very specific and tasteful. I like it. What I don't like is the eye sore that is a white plywood peg board hanging for all to see with the specials displayed on it. There are some fake flowers or plastic plants hanging off of to, I would guess, make it look like it belongs. It doesn't help. Just my opinion. If some friends that I am with want to go there, I would go. But I don't think I would offer it up as my first or second choice. read more

Checked this place out for the first time last week. The food and staff were great but it was a little awkward waiting for a table - it's a small space and there's really no where to stand and wait - we tried to go to the bar and order a drink but the bartender seemed almost annoyed that we were there ... Our waitress on the other hand was amazing - super friendly! And as stated before - great food! (Always a fan of places the offer free bread!) read more

Ask for the fresh, wheat bread. It's the bomb. This was an old favorite from two years ago when I lived in Greensboro. Stopped back in recently and it's the same goodness I remembered. To give context, I've been living in NYC the last year and a half or so and the food here is very competitive. I'd say Pastabilities could survive in NYC. Place is great for groups and dates. If you're a foodie you can make your own dish, but if you're like me and your concoctions never end up as quite the master plan you'd envisioned, they have a slew of great pre-built options. Prices are very reasonable and service has been, on average, pretty good. They've lost track of a drink order here and there, but mostly minor infringements. They don't take reservations so get there early on weekends to ensure a seat. They have a pretty big space so this is usually not a problem. Bon appetite! read more

This is a great local spot, they even deliver, most importantly the food is cheap and delicious.

We had a birthday celebration for our family's twins turning 16. The staff and service was prompt, courteous and friendly. The meals were excellent with homemade ingredients and reasonable priced. Desserts included locally sourced selections and homemade as well. Even the owner stopped by to greet us and check on everything. I heard they have been in Greensboro for many years. It was very busy for a Wednesday night, and now I know why !! Daniel D. read more
