A classic Italian spot doing all the right things. While in Cruces there aren't many spots to eat, but this should be one of them. We ordered the following: -fettuccine Alfredo, delicious and so creamy -cheese raviolis, love the marinara -green chili lasagna, my partner really like it (has meat) -house salad The complimentary bread is so soft and warm. So many vegetarian options! Pet friendly patio. Service was very friendly and quick. No servers here, but you don't need it. Just order at the counter and pick a seat. There is also plenty of seating inside and out. So glad I skipped out on the other big box Italian chain for this. read more

I recently ordered a pizza from Pastaggios and I must say it was delicious. The sauce and crust remind me of the pizza my mom made. I will definitely order again. read more

Food was ok. It is self service, which I am not a fan of, but wanted to try the food. The ambiance is casual and just ok as well. You order at the register and then, if dining in, go seat yourself. You also need to grab your own tableware. Had the sausage & pepper with spaghetti. Sauce is a bit loose and needs garlic and basil. Just something more than tomato flavor. Pasta was overdone for being an Italian restaurant. Came with a small piece of plain bread. No garlic or olive oil at table, so that was disappointing as well. We also got the combo pizza. Crust needs to be cooked more in the center. Good amount of cheese and alot of mushrooms. The outside of crust had good flavor. Will stick with Lorenzo's in town, but I did feel obligated to try this place, as an Italian myself. read more

Service was great, very friendly and casual atmosphere. The pasta was plentiful and very good!

Red chile does not go on Alfredo pasta. Sometimes a Fusion cuisine isn't always a Good ideo.

In town for work. Already tried everything Mex and BBQ. Decided to try something new. This was the spot and it did not disappoint. Small quaint local Italian. The lasagna with Green Chile was amazing. Didn't think they were gonna be able to pull it off but they did. The fresh baked bread was an added bonus. One of the Best Meals I had this trip. I may hit them up again before I leave. read more

I don't know who's leaving these 4/5 star reviews but apparently you've never eaten real Italian food. This isn't real. It's bland tasting, alfredo and red sauces are watery and produce zero desire to keep eating, especially out of the plastic container they are served in. Plastic? My Italian ancestors are rolling over in their graves, as are the Pastaggio ancestors. The drive to El Paso is short, use your money there on the few Italian restaurants there that at least deserve a 4 star. I guess when you grow up not eating authentic Italian food, you would give it 4/5 stars. read more

Great tastlng food! Absolutely delicious ! The serving room is self serve so there is no need to worry about leaving a tip. I highly recommend this place! read more

While the fresh bread is good, the pastas are a bit lacking in my opinion. Still good but nothing to write home about.

Everything was fabulous! The food was amazing and the owner was so nice!! Someone in our party ordered the gluten free pasta and pizza and it was phenomenal. Definitely would eat here again. read more

Everything here is a home run. Food is authentic, all take out, simple Italian decor. read more

I wish there was an option for 10 stars. The service was incredible, friendly staff and our large order was 100 percent correct. The green chile lasagna was amazing and there were at least 6 large pizzas on our tables at the start and hardly anything left at the end. We had three young children in our group and they gave the kids pizza and spaghetti two thumbs up. One person had a salad and it was a large serving and all the ingredients were very fresh. I wish I lived in Las Cruces so I could eat there a lot!!! read more

We wanted some Italian. This is a takeout focused place in the warehouse district. You have to order out front and there is apparently indoor seating around the corner and some outdoor seating. The woman at the counter seamed uninterested so service was blah. Because the ambiance was not conducive to staying we ordered a pizza to go. We got the special with sausage, green peppers, red onion and mushrooms on the regular crust and took it back to our hotel. Crust was really good soft bread. Not chewy. Lots of toppings. So much so that not all the cheese was melted all the way. New Mexico green chilies gave it a nice little kick. I give the pizza a four and then took off a point for ambiance and service. I can see trying them again for takeout. read more

I dropped in at Pastaggio's today to try their pizza. I have to say I must lower the overall rating for this restaurant because the pizza was really sub-par. In the past I have enjoyed their lasagna and their Italian sausage and meatball sandwiches, but the pizza today was not very tasty. After I ordered the pizza was baked and out on my table in ten minutes. That must say something. The bottom was a little burned. The dough was not flavorful and the texture was off. The cheese was not flavorful, the sauce was not flavorful, and the meat toppings on my 14 inch regular crust pizza were not good. In sum, there was nothing about this Pastaggio's pizza that I liked...and I like most pizza. I will never order this "C-" pizza in the future. The overall dining experience at Pastaggio's I must lower to three stars...meaning mediocre. Sorry to have to say this but that pizza had nothing about it that I liked. Period. Pastaggio's I believe has problems with consistency; you never know what you're going to get. The food might be good or it might not. Who knows? read more

Great pizza! The staff was super helpful and pleasant. It's casual, no alcohol, but food is great. We will be back. the Di luio salad is BOMB! read more

Love their sausage pepper penne, and the bread that comes with it! Also love the spinach craisin salad with cranberry dressing. I like the pizza a lot too. Choice of thin or regular crust; lots of toppings available including New Mexico favorite green chilies. Take out is usually prompt. They also have some of the popular dishes available frozen for home baking. read more

Great food with excellent service. Surrounding were pleasant and comfortable. Would highly recommend sitting at the bar for friendly conversation. read more

Food and service was good. Tasted authentic and it wasn't too expensive. Win win! Mostly outdoor seating tho. read more

Pastaggios Italian - This a Mediterranean Pizza with Italian sausage. Very good pizza and good service. Bought frozen ravioli and sauce to go cook at home. - Pizza Near Me - Las Cruces, New Mexico

Always great food. Meatballs have a tinge of sweetness... nothing bad, but just different. Definitely recommend z

First time stopping at Pastaggios, and it was delicious! The food and service were outstanding!! Friendly and attentive staff, we had their green and red chile Alfredo which was absolutely amazing. They have several gluten free options, We had the gluten free Mediterranean pizza which did not disappoint! Their tiramisu was light and creamy and simply outstanding!! Delicious food with fresh ingredients and great presentation. Perfect place for large gatherings and nice family ambiance. Loved the murals and the decor. read more

We were in town for a HS band competition and found this place on yelp. Decided to try it out-ordered a pizza to go since there isn't dine in service. When you walk in the door the smell hits you-really good smell. All those working were friendly and helpful. While waiting on our pizza, there was a steady line of customers coming through (good sign) Sauce had good flavor, meatballs were flavorful, not just 'beef-y' Even the people in the elevator at our hotel commented on how good it smelled! read more

We've had now two lovely evenings at Pastaggio's! The food is absolutely delicious. Not over done, very tasteful. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. The seating is not overly loud ~ one can enjoy themselves and eat and speak with others. Will be returning before we depart from Las Cruces. Thank You Lorenzo & Staff read more

We were not prepared for this experience. The guy at the counter was very friendly and helpful. We ordered at the counter and sat ourselves around the corner. Food came out quickly. Lasagna and fettuccine with green chile white sauce. They arrived in black plastic boats. They looked strangely familiar, like frozen weight watcher meals! Good grief. We had to get up to get our forks, napkins and water. Self serve. When we finished we gathered our trash and tossed it. Why did I need to tip again? The food was actually very good. But the way it was served was such a turn off. Black plastic boats just like grocery store frozen meals. No service around once you get your food, eat it and get out. All this for $34 read more

The friendly staff was a plus and will give this establishment another try soon but will not order my usual sausage pepperoni mushrooms thin crust pizza as the one I had was dry and unflavored, had such high hopes . Think next time I'll order the homemade ravioli. Note ; they also offer a thicker crust pizza and all tastes are different so give them a try . read more

Take pizza that was just OK. Not super friendly the lady at the counter seemed to like we were a nuisance read more

Everything was great. Custom Pizza was amazing. My wife's pesto pasta was fantastic and if we ever go to Las Cruces again - we'll be stopping here read more

Excellent Tortellini con pesto and Enselada De Lusso. The bread is to die for! Call ahead for takeout because there's no sit in dining.

We ordered delivery to our RV Park and it was quick and excellent food! We had the green chilie lasagna and the meatballs, both were great!

We came from out of town and wanted good Italian food. We checked Pastaggio's reviews and gave it a shot. The food was amazing, the owner welcomed us with an awesome attitude. His service was great, you can tell he loves running this place. He recommended different sauce and they were really good. I definitely recommend coming here. The dinning room was pretty cool, overall a good ambiance. read more

Best Italian, Ever!! 10/07/2022 Beef ravioli with meat sauce was excellent! Fat raviolis full of beef and the meat sauce was without equal. Simply fabulous! Pizza with pepperoni and sausage was also excellent. The right amount of everything. Delicious! Chicken Alfredo was perfect. Great Ceasar salad and bread! Can't wait for another opportunity to enjoy this wonderful food! read more

This isn't really a restaurant unless you consider eating in your high school cafeteria a dining experience albeit with a nice mural on one wall. It is just a carryout establishment. Didn't read all the reviews closely enough I guess. The food wasn't bad just not very good. We ordered the Aggie pie. There was so much garlic it was impossible to taste any of the other ingredients. If you want excellent pizza go to Zeffiro's. read more

We haven't eaten there since the height of COVID-19. Back at that point, we visited Pastaggio's Italian on a regular basis. The food and drinks were always delicious. From my understanding, it's only curbside pickup and/or delivery. Even so, the food should still be delicious. The Colonel and Donna, thank you for the introduction to Pastaggio's Italian! We're already looking forward to getting food there....And Soon! read more

Ordered take out of meatballs and sauce. Keep in mind my grandpa had his own Italian Restaurant and made everything from scratch. From sauce to meatballs and his pasta. The service was okay and the line grew behind me. Orders started coming out - all take out, and we were alone. She realized it and soon came back with the order was warm but not hot. (Should have been a hint) Got home and opened the items. Was meat sauce, not marinara. Meatballs were small. Heated them, made some pasta. Not very good meat in sauce had a freezer burn taste as did meatballs. I've had their food in past, wasn't bad. This wasn't good. Obviously not quality controlled. Young lady should have concentrated on serving, not flirting... read more

We enjoyed a meal here last Friday evening with friends. The food was hot and delicious. I enjoyed my spagetti and meat sauce with green chilis very much. Everyone raved about their entries and the staff and servers were very knowledgeable and friendly. Senor Lorenzo visited with us a bit and was kind enough to offer us a sampling of the desert fare which was an absolutely heavenly way to end a most satisfactory dining experience. Hoping to dine there again very soon and possible try some of the frozen take away. read more

On a road trip with a friend, we decided to grab some take out from Pastaggios and it was very... interesting. We ordered the hatch green chili tortellini (because how could we not?) and a Bianca pizza. The tortellini were a bit disappointing... not as flavorful as you would think and I probably wouldn't try them again, but the pizza was aaaamazing! It was so garlicky and delicious. We liked it so much, we had some for dinner and saved some for breakfast the next morning. The pizza would be worth a return visit for sure. read more

Disappointed AGAIN! I had the green chile lasagna which was another one of my favorites. Not any more. BLAH! Where's the CHILE?? No taste and bland as bland can be. Who's cooking and what are you cooking with. BYE!! read more

Pastaggios is a MUST when looking for the best red or green Chile Alfredo in town. If you can't make up your mind, do both! Even the bread will leave you speechless. The staff is so helpful when you are stuck on what to order, they even let us sample the sauces. If you can't wait til you get home to eat it, there is a self service dining area open to get it while it's hot. If calories were no worry, I would be here every day. read more

UPDATE: no other way to put it - the quality has declined. I almost always get the green chile lasagna here, so it's a good barometer. It's just not as good as it once was. The sauce seems especially sweet these days, which I do not like. Pasta sauce should have a natural sweetness that comes from slow simmering the sauce, not an unnatural sweetness that comes from sugar. Anyway, I'm downgrading the rating here from 5 to 3 stars. It's just not that great anymore, I'm sorry to say. The bread is still great, but well, it's just bread. read more
