We came here with the whole family tonight to celebrate my father's birthday. 5 of us total (including my 6 & 4 year old son and daughter). My husband and I had been once before for our anniversary and the food was incredible. Tonight really showed how much heart and love goes into this restaurant when a little boy peaked out from behind the wall & asked if my kids wanted to play with him as we waited to be seated. After making sure it was okay with who I'm assuming is the owner & family of the little boy, my kids went to the table he was at to color and play with him. Everyone was so kind and gracious with my kids, and the little boy Sebastian was the highlight of our night. He was such a sweet kid & the best little host. My kids had a great time with him as we waited for our food. I got the carbonara, my dad got the chicken pesto & my husband got a 3 meat penne. The kids got chicken tender and fries. Each dish was delicious and tasted authentic. The bruschetta dip was amazing. My husband doesn't normally like bruschetta, but how the flavors were balanced had him eating most of it. The bread was perfect, crisp outside with a softer inside. My carbonara was creamy and flavorful. Most carbonara upsets my stomach because of dairy (but I still order it anyway because it's my favorite), but how they made it here left me feeling satisfied without an upset stomach which is a huge win in my book! It warmed my heart to feel like my kids were welcomed in a restaurant with open arms when many restaurants view kids in general as a burden. We will definitely be back! Personally, we've never been to a restaurant that provided this quality of service and hospitality in addition to the best Italian food we've had at a more than reasonable cost! 10/10 recommend this to anyone! read more

Italian Restaurant located in Downtown Avondale. The restaurant is cute and the decorations are on theme for an Italian restaurant, but are not cheesy. They compliment the culture extremely well, and help set the atmosphere. When we went for lunch on a Sunday, it was pretty empty (only 1 other table). I would recommend not worrying about the low attendance. I think this has to do more with the fact that Downtown Avondale tends to be pretty empty. I think that they would do really well and be a lot busier if they were in a different location. The service was amazing, our server was attentive and gave out really good recommendations. While all the food was delicious...the free bread was my favorite. It was perfectly toasted and seasoned and included a brushetta topping on the side. I could have just ate that and would have been extremely happy. We ordered an appetizer of Calamari, it was a good portion size for the cost. The Calamari was well seasoned and crispy. I ordered the Portobello Mushroom Ravioli. It was flavorful with large pieces of mushroom mixed with the sauce. Even though it was a white cream sauce, the dish was suprisingly light, I would recommend trying it. The other two people I was with both ordered the Frutti de Mare. There was a good mixe and amount of seafood in the dish and the pasta was cooked perfectly. While the marinara sauce was good, I don't think it was something that was out of this world. I just think it needed a little more seasoning or some kind of kick to round it out. Overall, great restaurant and would recommend. read more

Do NOT sleep on this place! It is our new favorite restaurant! We randomly found it on Yelp and decided to give it a try. I'm super picky about Italian food, and this is now my favorite spot. It's in downtown Avondale in an old vintage building on the corner. Everything is decorated so nicely, and all the tables are set with cloths, cutlery, and a candle. The ambience was very cozy and romantic, perfect for date night. The service was amazing - she is the owners wife and she was fantastic. So friendly and helped us pick out great menu items. She let us know about wine tastings and dinner events happening. I got the mushroom ravioli and my fiancée got the chicken Alfredo - both were so favorable and delish. The mushrooms in my ravioli were cooked perfectly and I could tell they were fresh mushrooms. They handmake all their pastas and sauces and you can totally tell it's authentic and fresh. We each had a glass of Chianti which complemented the meal so well. We were so full but we ordered some limoncello cake to take home - omg it was so good! Light and airy and not too sweet. The prices were reasonable and well worth it. We'll be regulars here for sure! We actually thought this would be a great place to have our engagement party or rehearsal dinner - there's a room in the back that is perfect for bigger groups. read more

The Pasta Factory - Mushroom Ravioli - Italian Near Me - Avondale, Arizona

Tucked away in old town Avondale this unassuming spot is a must try. You walk in the front greeted by what appears a small spot. To the left a few booths and to the right the kitchen. The smells of Italian cooking fill the air. Yet you walk through to a big seating area in the back. Nice decore with all tables formally set up and Italian instrumental music in the background. Lina took care of us and still managed even though this place got busy real quick. We had some delicious zucchini appetizer along with the complimentary toasted bread. The penne arriabatta was delicious and my date raved about the creamy Tuscan chicken. I look forward to trying again. If you partake in wine I noticed a big selection. I really enjoyed the experience and the super clean, nice smelling bathrooms made me smile. read more

Service changed this year, woman with child on her hip basically doesn't get orders right, forgets a lot, and doesn't regularly check the tables. I understand if it would be advertised. This is my 7th and last time coming here. I loved it last year. The food is fine don't get me wrong. But when it's wrong or the lady doesn't know how to explain the menu item it's frustrating. It's a nice vibe for a 2-4 person dinner, if you don't care about the space. I couldn't even finish my dinner the way it took so long and with the crammed room you could hear her at another table "I'm so sorry I forgot" "oh let me get that for you". Overall not a good experience besides the wine. read more

Amazing food! Menu is outstanding. Would highly recommend. The Trio dish is just perfect a little bit lasagna a little bit spaghetti and a little bit of chicken Parm. It is my favorite dish. read more

The food and atmosphere is amazing. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for great Italian food!

Small unassuming restaurant in Avondale. Pasta dishes were fantastic and service was great. Highly recommend this place.

Our first time here, and we were pleasantly surprised. The restaurant doesn't look like much from the outside, but as they say looks can be deceiving. The interior spoke of old world dining. A quaint and charming decor that told a story of old Italy. The service was quick and friendly. Our waitress was efficient and personable. You could tell she enjoyed her job. We indulged in a house Merlot that had a fantastic flavor. We tried the appetizer sampler platter that was just the right size for the two of us. Our entree's were prepared with great care and tasted of wonderfully fresh ingredients. The portion size was just right for us. We did not partake in any desserts, but the list looked just yummy. Just a great location in Old Town Avondale. We are looking forward to our return to try something new. read more

Not what I was expecting. Food was ok after we Got through all the dirty water glasses. Odd laid out menu and big menu. Food was decent but space needs sprucing up. Probably will not return with all the other great Italian places to try. read more

Amazing amazing service !! The food was amazing as well. Very good flavors very fresh this has to be one of my top favorite pasta places I've tried I've came back twice and will be back for more. read more

We tried this place for the first time last night. What a hidden gem. The service was amazing. Leena a was very friendly and attentive. The food was excellent and the beer was COLD. We enjoyed the cozy ambiance which may be off putting if you're used to fancy chain restaurants. This place checked all the boxes for us and we will be back. We found our Italian "go to" restaurant. read more

Tiny cute restaurant with amazing food and service!! New favorite Italian restaurant. So many options and everything was delicious

A quaint and cozy little gem with soft lighting, linen tablecloths, and some of the best Italian food in the West Valley. You can't go wrong with any of the pasta dishes, but some classic standouts are the chicken Parmesan, and the chicken spaghetti carbonara. Yes, there are other delicious dishes here but these are particularly and singularly good. Fresh ingredients, a lovely marinara, perfectly-cooked pasta, and wonderful service. What's not to love? PS- bonus points for the complimentary little bruschetta plate that comes with your meal. It's fresh and cool and sharp and a perfect foil to the pasta dishes. The vibe here is also great for a date or romantic evening, or even for a business dinner. Great little place all around. In the sea of pedantic chain restaurants, Pasta Factory is a real standout. read more

The food is always great. The staff is very friendly and treats you like family. Worth the trip to Avondale.

Second time I order from here using Uber Eats and I'm not disappointed! This time I tried the Farfalle Al limón with chicken and a lasagna. Each came with a side salad that had a delicious dressing and some baguette slices. Both entres were delicious especially the lasagna , the portions are large and the price is decent ! Can't wait to try something else here ! I'm read more

Been wanting to try this place out since a few weeks now and finally made time to visit with my boyfriend and son. Parking in area was pretty limited, it was around 7pm on a Friday. Was greeted upon arrival. Gave off a cute little Italian vibe, like as if I just walked into a cafe in Italy! Food was mediocre. We ordered the trio and steak Alfredo pasta. Trio dish was good, but tasted like a possibility of it being microwaved. The steak Alfredo was ok, meat didn't render my taste buds although the pasta was a nice translucent yellow creamy color. still a pleasant experience with the servers and everyone else who works here read more

A nice local spot with good food. I think the most simple things are often looked over. The Pasta Factory is an Italian restaurant on the Old Town Avondale strip and I am happy to say I'll be going back again. The food was very good. They started us off with a nice bruschetta which was so fresh and delicious. We ordered the trio which had chicken parm, lasagna and spaghetti. The chicken Parmesan was my personal favorite. My wife ordered the chicken carbonara and we wanted it very much. Finished the meal off with a five layer cake that my daughter loved. Note, they made my daughter's order specifically to what she requested and there were no issues, confusion, or difficulty. They were happy to do it and that alone was awesome. read more

Friendly staff and GREAT food!! Service was fast and pleasant. I had a great time here with my Honey

A little disappointed after reading all the reviews about this place. The food was ok, but small portions. If you're paying over $20 for a meal and you see pictures in the reviews with the meals (chicken Marsala and chicken piccata) having 2 pieces of chicken and you get yours and it's one piece of chicken and a small serving of mashed potatoes in one and a small serving of broccoli in the other it's a little frustrating. The tiramisu was the highlight of the meal. The salads were mediocre, the lettuce a little old. read more

Located South of I-10 out West of State Farm stadium but near alot of the baseball fields. Some street parking but no lot for the restaurant. A little on the smaller side but good customer service. Decent size meals but slightly above average prices for Italian. You can see the prices on the menu. All the food tasted very good and adequate amounts. Pretty standard and good variety of options for a nice Italian restaurant. read more

Delicious food, drinks and romantic ambiance in the back room. Our server was attentive and friendly. For alcohol I had a delicious Red Sangria (variety of apple, orange and blueberries). As an appetizer we got calamari, the fried batter was seasoned with herbs, the calamari was thick and crispy. My dish was spaghetti with meatballs. The meatballs melt as you bite them. Our toddler had Alfredo with chicken, small portion sufficient for 5 years or less. read more

Very disappointed with quality of food. Meatballs were hard and chicken was dry and tasteless.

Small family sleeping giant restaurant. Food is incredible. Nice, quiet setting with great acoustics that allow table discussions

I didn't think it was possible, but the quality of the food has deteriorated to the point where I would consider this to be fraud. The flavor, textures, and preparation of our meals was horrifyingly bad. It's obvious that everything they make is either frozen or straight out of a can, but the insane prices fool you into think this is Michelin star food. All of the positive reviews are written by people who either work there or know people who work there. I highly recommend avoiding this restaurant and going somewhere else for Italian food. read more

Food was horrible .. no favor ... salad was placed under hot food during delivery soo it was welted when it arrived... too expensive as well ... do not recommend this place read more

Service was very attractive and food was very good. Give it a try I'm sure you won't be disappointed

By far the worst Italian food I've ever tasted. It's so bland and tasteless. It literally has no flavor. And whatever batter is on the fries appetizers is equivalent to chewing on chalky powder. Coming from an Italian/Sicilian, I'm really disappointed. read more

Pretty great food, enjoyed everything we tried, which was two different appetizers and two different entrees!

The restaurant is unassuming, and seemingly small, and when we arrived neither my husband nor I were particularly hungry. We ordered chicken piccata with a side of broccoli and the chicken vodka, and we were totally blown away! We were served a yummy plate of toasted bread and bruschetta in a balsamic and our food arrived steaming hot. Everything we ate was cooked perfectly and flavorful. No bland, gloopy pasta here. Such a nice surprise! I'd happily return here any time we're in the area. read more

Nine staff, food taste great, desart awesome. Vibe nice decor, filled up fast. Will be back.

I made a reservation on Tuesday 02/11 via their online reservation tab for Valentine's Day. Request received, email comes in, says "Reservation Pending" - says we will confirm your request shortly. Valentine's Day comes, nothing received - no call, no email, so I call the restaurant and the woman without even asking my name, time, etc...says, if you didn't get a response, your reservation didn't take, I'm sorry. So, I have my wife call, give specifics and the woman says, "I don't even see the reservation come thru" - meanwhile, I have screen prints, emails, saying it went thru. So, no reservation...We were left STUCK on Valentine's Day. Luckily, La Bona Pasta took us same day! In addition, my nephew had a confirmed reservation at Pasta Factory and they called him the "same day" (Valentine's Day) to cancel his reservation for that evening. According to the restaurant, they've been booked since the end of January? OK, well, if that's the case, then why continue to take reservations via your website? Or why not send a denial email if you're already booked. I WILL NEVER STEP FOOT IN THIS RESTAURANT AGAIN. No effort to even try to accommodate. TBH, the food isn't even that good and the atmosphere is lacking. They could learn a thing or 2 about customer service and DEFINITELY plenty to be learned when it comes to their reservation process. STAY AWAY! read more
