    Chicken Flamingo and broccoli
    Suzane C.

    Great food. Our service was fair. The interior was a decent family dining experience. We like their food, so we will be returning.

    Fish and chip meal. It came with five delicious pieces of fish. We had already ate two prior to the picture.

    It's Friday night during Lent so we were looking for a place that has some fish or non-meat options. We decided to stop by pasta house and knew we could find something here. I ordered the grande House salad with my dressing on the side. My husband ordered the fish and chips. On my picture he had already ate two, but I believe it came with five pieces of fish and several chips. It was pretty good and that's a lot coming from me because I am not a fan of fish. But this fish, I believe it was cod, was pretty darn good. The chips were really good crispy and very salty just how I like them. Our waitress was great. You could tell she had worked there for several years. The restaurant itself is a bit loud, but it was a busy day.

    Vintage Vespa Poster is a highlight of the decor.

    While not gourmet dining, Pasta House on 9012 Gravois Road offers good food at reasonable prices. The decor is nothing about which to get excited (though it is somewhat redeemed by vintage Vespa posters), and the restaurant caters to a mainly senior crowd. If you are looking to lunch with a prospective hire for your AgTech or bioscience startup, this is probably not the place. That said, Pasta House does offer some healthy and wholesome Italian fare. I had the Pasta House salad with grilled chicken. This is a filling, hearty choice. It has lots of artichoke hearts, which I like, and too-copious onions, which I don't. I asked the server that the onions be held, which made the salad palatable. BTW, the server was a courteous and efficient young lady who went out of her way to be nice. That is appreciated! All in all, not a bad lunch, and a good value.

    Famous Pasta House salad. So good.

    I am no longer a St. Louis resident. Pasta House is one of those you don't know what you have till it's gone. They do certain dishes that are some of the best I have ever had. Chicken Flamingo, carbonara, and my one dish I love is fettucine with chicken livers and of course the Pasta House salad. Since I have eaten these dishes from Pasta House and have tried them in other cities or countries I can form an opinion of what I miss. :) Where I live now the pasta is heavily East Coast mainly Boston and New York/Jersey. Not saying they are bad just different. I find one of the interesting things here is they will always ask you what noodle you want. This always leaves me with brain freeze trying to remember what noodle I had at Pasta House. Our server was so nice and special. She was interested in where we were from and how was the employment situation. So we had great service and personal attention. Top combo.

    My hubs and I decided to order takeout today. I AM SOOOO HAPPY WE DID!! EVERYTHING WAS ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!! We share their famous salad and it was delicious as always. I had the shrimp fettuccine and it is my new favorite pasta!! The shrimp that come with it are HUGE and the mushrooms are cooked perfectly. (I hate it when I get slimey mushrooms in my padat!!) Everytime I bit into a mushroom it made a nice crisp crunch noise... yummmmm!! My husband got the spaghetti with meatballs and he had nothing but great things to say about it! It was still piping hot when I opened it at home and I'm super thankful for that! The worse thing is trying to eat cold delivery ! Also ordering was simple and we will be making this restaurant one of our monthly order spots from now on!!

    The Pasta House is classic. I've been coming to this location with my family since I was a kid. Service is usually fast and friendly. This place is good for accommodating large parties (we've had lots of family birthday's, mothers days, etc. here). My favorite dish is the chicken flamingo, I get it every single time and it's always amazing.

Midwest Pasta provides fresh pasta and flour to local restaurants. So they make their products in batches -- but anyone can walk in and purchase. There is always a supply of fresh pasta in the refrigerated section, as well as some frozen. I've had their mushroom ravioli, fettucini, gnocchi, pappardelle, and meat tortellini. Everything is DELICIOSO!! Their customer service is awesome. I stopped in to buy some fresh pasta, and was advised on what might pair best for my meal plan; and because I was traveling got an ice pack to help the pasta stay cooled. There is also a very small display of imported olives, olive oil, pesto, etc. However, the options are limited and display is limited to just a couple shelves. This is not a huge grocery, but it will accommodate small foodies out exploring the Cherokee Street Benton Park neighborhood. Double check store hours. They DO close early. So be sure to check hours and plan your visit accordingly. You'll miss out if you think you're stopping by after work or on the weekend.

This time, we arrived at 6:30pm on a Friday night and were sat at a table in the main thoroughfare. The ambiance was poor and it was so loud that we needed to shout to be heard. We ordered the caramelized cauliflower appetizer which was drowning in cream sauce and so smothered in cheese that it no longer looked like a vegetable. It was too rich for us. They were considerate to give us plates to split the scampi style shrimp, which was well cooked. However, the grilled beef tenderloin and potatoes were very lackluster. We'd asked for medium rare and the kitchen must have been rushing as it was still raw in the middle. We tried to get the server's attention, but they were very busy and we gave up. A particularly strange and rude interaction from our server when collecting the check left a bad taste in our mouths. I was glad to see their popularity but disappointed at how it decreased the quality of our experience. Unfortunately, we had an unpleasant time overall. If you are planning to go, I recommend choosing a less busy time for a better experience.

We had 6pm reservations and were seated on time but people without reservations faced a 2 hour wait. Make reservations! Upon entering, there is a hostess stand and small bar with seating extending to the back of the building. We had the first table so I can't comment on the full size. My son ordered a Bloody Mary and I had a Pinot Noir while we looked at menu. Bloody Mary was very good and the wine was pleasant. We started with Garlic Bread with Cheese. It was the only menu item I would not order again. Flavors did not come together. I ate my fair share so it was good. Just not great. We then shared a cheese pizza with provel. Elite crust and sauce! The crust had an amazing char and the sauce was deliciously nuanced. The cheese was very good, but most definitely not the star of the pie. Pasta Pomodoro was wonderful.

My risotto was overcooked so the clams were rubbery-yuk. The shrimp looked overcooked but they actually tasted fine. The pork chop was good but not great per report. We did get bruschetta as an appetizer- again good but not great as there was too much balsamic glaze such that it was overly sweet.

I'd attend such a meeting, but more so for the lulz (but also to share my beliefs). I'm pleased to report that there's none of that going on here, that I'm aware of. Granted, this was a Sunday morning. I was there with my running group as part of our ongoing unofficial breakfast burrito tour, the last such stop until this fall, due to upcoming marathon training. Of course it was the most unpleasant day of the year, maybe ever, with a heat index of 117 (no hyperbole). I changed shirts before I came in and then sweated through that shirt as well. One of the ladies I was with left a gross pool of sweat in her chair after she left. It didn't occur to me to pull a Charlamagne tha God until hours later. I'm growing as a human being. Part of that growth is gradually coming to realize that seasonal lattes, unless they have sort of especially distinct flavor, like banana, aren't going to taste like anything other generic artificial sweetener, let alone what they purport to be. I considered ordering an iced caramel latte, but I figured what the heck. I went with something called a Miso Brown Sugar Latte. It was good for what it was, but I don't know that anyone, if you gave it to them to try, could identify it as that. I liked the fact that it had a somewhat more pronounced coffee flavor, compared to some places where it mostly just tastes like a glass of milk. I wasn't as crazy about the fact that it took a while for the ice cubes to cool it down, probably longer than it would have taken if it were served in a glass cup. I went with something called the Annex Burrito, which I didn't realize until after I ordered it is not the only burrito they carry. I guess you can also get a bog-standard breakfast burrito with bacon, eggs and cheese. This one comes with corn, beans and some sort of unidentified crema for the same amount. Maybe they give you less bacon. Mine didn't have a lot of bacon, but the bacon it did have was not crisp and had a precooked vibe. The latter was more of an issue for me than the former. I'm a savage in that way. I did appreciate the fact that it was griddled, possibly using a panini press. The exterior was ever so slightly crisp, while the interior was pizza roll-level molten. The overall vibe was similar to those microwave burritos they used to carry at 7-11, but in a good way. All I needed was a mini truck enthusiast magazine filled with photos of bikini-clad Latinas and a Windex-blue Slurpee, but I was able to make do with a lukewarm mystery latte and the old ladies I run with. I'm resourceful.
