Quick, fresh, and delicious! Stopped on a roadtrip and got a little worried going off the beaten path in the dark through a neighborhood but then there it was! You order and pickup at the counter which accounts for the good prices. Would come back just for the Cacio e Pepe which was the best I ever had. Cheese breadsticks were fun for our fam of 6. Side salad nice for $4. Will come back when on the same route.

Overall a 2/5 dining experience. The person taking the order was not friendly or welcoming. It took 30 minutes for my appetizer to arrive. The spinach dip was good but the chips were rock hard. The scampi took an hour from ordering to arrive and was bland and had more random vegetables than pasta. They also left the tails on the shrimp. In total I waited over an hour and a half for spinach dip, a salad, and a pasta dish. I could see that the issue was that there were five workers crowding the kitchen with only one, MAYBE two actually doing something while the others stood around talking amongst themselves. Not worth the $40.

I recently visited Pasta Garage with my lady friend, and overall we had a really good time. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the staff made the experience even better — super friendly, attentive, and quick with everything we needed. The food itself was solid, but not mind-blowing. We tried a few dishes, including the chicken alfredo and spaghetti with marinara. The portions were generous and everything looked great, but the flavors didn’t quite reach the level we were hoping for — good, just not outstanding. I’d give the food 3 stars. Service, on the other hand, was excellent from start to finish. Definitely 5 stars there. The ambiance also deserves 5 stars, with a cozy, relaxed vibe that made the meal feel special. My only real complaint: the plastic Solo cups. With how nice everything else feels, real glasses would make the dining experience even better and more upscale. Overall, Pasta Garage is worth a visit for the atmosphere and service alone, and with a few small tweaks, it could easily be a standout spot.

The food was decent, but definitely cheap pasta for a reason. I ordered the Chicken Cacciatore and it was $16. I personally would’ve only paid like $13 for it. I tried the other meals of the people at my table and none were BAD, but definitely nothing special. Just pretty middle of the road, and 3 of 4 pastas we all felt were very lacking in flavor. The GARLIC BREAD was AMAZING. We all raved about it. We also ordered the Caprese Gnocchi appetizer, which we agreed was a fun addition to the meal. The pasta took 25 mins, which was not too bad, but just felt like we had waited a lot longer than it was worth in our opinion. Additionally, the LaMarca prosecco my grandmother ordered was $13 for a glass, which is disappointing since LaMarca is usually about $15 for an entire bottle, and $13 is not how a glass of LaMarca should be priced at a restaurant that isn’t necessarily a fancy restaurant. In summary, it’s not bad, but I won’t probably ever go again and there are other places I would recommend over this.

Atmosphere and service are good. No complaints there. We ordered the lasagna and the spaghetti and meatball. The spaghetti was so watery, it was like a soup on the bottom. The flavor was good, but it turned out looking like V8 juice by the time we left. The meatball was also very tough. I went to cut into it to break it up, and I was actually scared it was still frozen that’s how hard it was. My girlfriend ordered the lasagna and it was also very tough and hard. We didn’t eat the majority of it bc it just wasn’t good.
