Stopped by Mike's Pasta House the day before my wife's marathon -- wanted her to carb load while still enjoying a great meal, and it was an amazing choice. Food: My wife had the vodka with prosciutto and peas, and I went for the chicken vodka with burrata, which is easily one of the best chicken vodkas I've ever had. The flavors were rich and well-balanced, and the pasta was cooked perfectly. Each dish felt carefully crafted, satisfying both comfort and quality. Service: All of the servers were very nice and attentive, though it can get a little slow during busy times. The owner was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making the experience feel personal and hospitable. Aesthetic: There's a decent amount of seating inside, split between two sides, with lovely wall décor and soft mood lighting. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, perfect for a relaxing dinner. read more

We came here just for the eggplant parmesan and it did not disappoint. Also this is a BYOB place so I brought a bottle of wine which made it extra nice. The service was fantastic and super friendly. Also we were speaking with some others and found out locals eat here also. Highly recommend read more

Decided to try this place on a whim. We were pleasantly surprised. It is a BYOB. We started with a zucchini flower, the batter was too heavy for such a delicate flower. Once I took the batter off the flower was wonderful. My hubby got the gnocchi which was extremely heavy but the sauce was excellent. I had a salmon dish that was excellent. We will be back to try some more. read more

Saw a movie... and went straight to Mike's Pasta House across the street after the movie finished. I had clams and spaghetti and an unsweetened iced tea. The food was great and the owner (Mike) was very friendly. I'll definitely go back again. read more

Definitely order the homemade pasta. Duh! Lots of positive reviews for the cutlet with vodka sauce and it did not disappoint. The mushroom truffle sauce was phenomenal too. The stuffed zucchini flowers were too batter-coated and fried for my taste but good. Calamari was ok. Basic rolls (better bread would be great)! Maybe an off batch, but the meatballs were not good. They were actually watery. It's an upgraded pizzeria type atmosphere-nothing fancy, but cute and clean. Would definitely go back when in the area. The ricotta cheesecake was excellent if you like a less sugary dessert. read more

Not sure why they don't have better reviews on yelp. Great customer service that was very personal. The owner himself came by to each table to explain the menu and check on the customers. The menu items are endlessly customizable and delicious. There is something for everyone. From apps to mains everyone in our party was happy. Can't go wrong with any of the homemade pastas or chicken parm. read more

Overall I really wanted to love this place Everything is an up charge - from meat to fresh pasta is extra ... entree does not come with anything ... depending on the dish the portions are on the small side. We enjoyed both dishes but the chicken franchise was slightly over cooked. The other platter came out warm not hot. The cheese at the table was like saw dust. The place was super busy and there was only 3 waiters - the two teenagers that were working - multiple times reached over us and was in our personal space throughout the entire meal. They must have a free radio station playing - and every few minutes commercials would come one. There is an up-charge to use a credit cards. read more

This Italian restaurant is in Northfield, NJ next to Pinky's nail salon. It's one of the restaurants I order from regularly on doordash because they are always consistent & their fresh homemade gnocchi is one of my favorites!! I always get it with the Chicken Vodka Burrata & that spicy vodka sauce makes me want to lick the plate clean! The breaded chicken is always perfectly done & I crave this dish on the regular. If you're dining in, this is a cozy, casual & alcohol free restaurant that doesn't allow outside beverages & has an extra fee for paying with a credit card. I do agree that everything is an up charge here, & nothing is included with their entrees. A regular bottle of water is $2 & a side salad is $6.50, but you do get a piece of bread lol. They'll try to sell you on their antioxidant juices that have no added sugar, but I always pass. Other than that, service has always been good & friendly. You can tell this is a mom & pop restaurant so I'm happy to support them and don't mind the additional fees on doordash when I'm too lazy to go in. read more

Husband had to work Valentine's Day so we decided to have an early dinner tonight and celebrate. WORST decision ever to go to Mike's Pasta House!! They were busy and it was a holiday weekend we expected to wait. However, as an owner, have the courtesy to come up to us and take responsibility and apologize for a clear mistake made by the restaurant. They forgot or didn't put our appetizers and salad in. We waited over 45 minutes for an appetizer to come after we asked. Then, our entrées came while our appetizers were still on the table. Clearly by the dry crusted sauce on the rim of the plate they were under the heat lamp for quite some time. The owner stood by us multiple times, noticed we had no food, saw that we were upset, and avoided coming over. He visited every other table, asked if they wanted dessert, and personally dropped a check. Problem with society today is- NO ONE OWNS THEIR MISTAKES! It made me choose a star.... I would've left it blank! read more

Small, cozy restaurant, where you are treated as if you were a regular. The attention to detail and clear menu is helpful, as is the staff. The home made pasta and the sauces are very fresh, tasty yet light. read more

We had lunch at M P H, a newly opened restaurant in 2021. Lunch was very good, we ordered Italian wedding soup, meatballs with ricotta, bruschetta and a sausage, pepper, and onion sub we were happy with everything. Mike stopped at our table to make sure we enjoying our meal, and if there was anything else he could get for us. We look forward in the future to have dinner here. read more

Once again Mike's does not disappoint. 9 friends celebrating together last night and each one very happy with their meal. We all ordered different items and not one was less than delicious. Everything comes out hot and freshly made. My fave is still papardelli with truffle mushrooms. But the meat eaters in the crowd were just as content. Service is quick but not rushed to leave. Mike and Anne are the ultimate hosts. Looking forward to pir next visit. read more

I can't say enough great things about Mike's pasta house!! We've only ever done takeout but the food is always hot and crispy. The chicken vodka burrata is my favorite!! I also always get the homemade pasta which is delicious! The service has always been amazing! read more

First time going to Mike's. Surprised when was told that they had been open for four years hidden away in the corner of a strip mall. Food was excellent with fresh homemade pastas. Portions were extremely large. Service was very good and friendly. Desserts looked awesome but was too stuffed to try after the large portions. read more

More people need to know about this place! Every bite I take is so full of flavor I close my eyes with enjoyment! I am a sucker for their carbonara with homemade pasta! Wow wow! Bruschetta seems like a simple dish but theirs is so yummy and bursting with flavor! We also go the caprese salad it was so yummy and flavorful! I really can't express enough how flavorful their dishes are! We've been at least 3 times and once for takeout. I can't wait to go back! Also service is great and so friendly! I believe it's the owner who sat us, and took such good care of us. She is so lovely and friendly. Very inviting place. I want to keep going on and on! Just go and see for yourselves. Also I never leave reviews, but as I'm eating my leftovers, I just had to! read more

This place is TERRIFIC !!! Great customer service and amazing fresh, homemade food. The owners came by to explain the menu. The menu is super customizable with so many fresh made options. Everything is wonderful! Highly recommended. The only downside is I live an hour away - I wish I was closer so I could come here more often. Will definitely come back whenever we are in the area. Thanks!!! read more

This place knocked it out of the park. The food is fresh and can be customized. There is something for everyone on the menu. The fresh fruit drinks are perfect to mix your own cocktail. Service was excellent and the owners are very personable. You will not be disappointed. read more

Charming...I think the menu could offer more healthier options...charging for bottled water on the table is tacky

I knew coming back here was not a mistake. This time I had the Baked Ziti with a sausage and it was pretty good. My son liked his SHRIMP AND CRAB IN A SPICY VODKA SAUCE and the wife had Gnocchi Pesto and she loved it. From the salad to the meals was a big improvement. You know, now that I think about it, I my have been a little under the weather last time, which leads me to believe I'm going to be trying the Bolognese again. read more

I ordered the flounder francese and it was bland. Absolutely NO seasoning. Flounder was basically coated in flour, fried & served with 1 tablespoon of crab and 8 spinach leaves over spaghetti that was in a light pasta water with lemon. Not worth the $36! It also included a small, hard & stale roll. The ambiance of the place is a bit tacky, has a strong scent of curry though the staff is quite friendly. The quality of places to eat out in Atlantic County continue to tank. As well as the palate of the people reviewing these places with high regard. read more

Service was amazing.. the food wasn't my favorite but I am willing to try other dishes

We went on Mothers Day and it was obvious they were understaffed. The initial entry was awkward when apparently a bus boy seated us with no knowledge of the menu or how to serve. He literally brought 5 bottles of water to the table.It led to confusion when our server finally arrived. The server also struggled a bit with menu questions concerning the fresh pasta choices. It was also disappointing that the menu was limited for Mothers Day. I would skip appetizers as they were over priced for what you got. The fried calamari literally had 15 rings and 2 shrimp! The brushetta board was good. The entrees saved the day. They were very good and plentiful. The pasta was cooked perfect and the burretta was a nice touch. If you choose desert, I recommend the carrot cake. The Tiramasu was mushy and the crème brûlée was nothing special. We were seated at a booth with a chair added to the end of the table which made things a little tight for 5 adults. If you are going to go for a decent dinner, you will be satisfied. I would skip the apps and desert. For some reason we were told they discontinued the antipasto board which is what attracted us the first time. It just seemed like something was missing from our first visit. We will probably return casually. Please improve communication among your staff to ensure no confusion. Overall, my wife and sons enjoyed it so that's what cou read more

It has been a long time since I looked across a dinner table and said to my wife "I am really happy right now!". Mike's Pasta House managed to make me do that. Starting with the staff I will say that every staff member that we met was friendly, outgoing, warm and welcoming. It was much like arriving at a relative's house for dinner. I also have to mention that the decor added to the illusion that I was eating in a comfortable home. Now for the main reason we go to restaurants ... the food! This is where my happiness skyrocketed. The bruschetta was amazing. It tasted so good; the bread was so flavorful; the dressing was like a gift ... I could have made a meal just from the bruschetta. But I didn't. I kept going. The homemade pasta was second to none, and I have dined in the best Italian restaurants in NYC and in NJ. I opted for the jambalaya in a creamy vodka sauce with shrimp, sausage and chicken that was spectacular. The word spectacular doesn't quite reach the level I want, but it will do. Against my better judgement I completely finished every bit of pasta and sopped up every drop of that sauce. Every. Last. Drop. Mike's Pasta House is a hidden gem in the Wolf Gym Shopping Center in Northfield and is a restaurant that is not to be missed. read more

This was my third visit and this time I was lucky to have a big part of my family there. We were celebrating my cousin's graduation from OCHS 23'. The service is always warm and inviting and Anna is the , her positive contagious energy and knowledge of the menu will assure you no one is leaving unhappy. She adds to the cozy relaxed ambience and let me not forget to mention the restaurant is BYOB!!! Our drink of choice was Riesling and Tequila w/ a lemonade mixer. The food is filling and all the flavors pair well together (we always leave with leftovers or a meal to go). My tiramisu was so decadent, light and layered perfectly. If you are ever in the area I dare you to experience and capture the kodak moments! read more

Service was incredibly bad. I was going to overlook it but the table of three that came in after me was served first. And my bread never arrived until I asked for the check. I hated my meal and I was starving. The cacio e pepe dish looked like soup. I am too old and too traditional Italian to find shrimp drowning in cream sauce appetizing. There's a pizza place down the road. read more

It has a very relaxing and family oriented atmosphere. Staff, Mike and his wife are super friendly and welcoming. I suggest the bang bang shrimp and their eggplant appetizer. Super amazing! Pasta was amazing and delicious and the tiramisu and chocolate lava cake is to die for. I would definitely come back :) read more

Mike's has become our go to comfy Italian spot. Outstanding pasta dishes like the Fettuccine Carbonara and Crab and Shrimp Vodka sauce. Prices are very reasonable as most dishes are in the low $20 range. Specials are updated regularly and you won't get bored of this menu. There are some great appetizers like the Fried Zucchini and some of the best bruschetta we have had. Mikes is a family owned and operated restaurant that makes you feel like family when you are there. We love that it is byob and usually not a problem to get a table. Obviously it's much busier in the summer months but even so, the food is worth the wait. Don't hesitate to give Mike's Pasta House a try! Do not skip dessert either, the tiramisu and crème brûlée are delicious! I'm getting hungry writing this review. Thanks Mike and family, keep up the good work. read more

What a little hidden gem! My in laws just moved to Egg Harbor so we went for Father's Day. Our server was super nice! My father in law had to go in to compliment/meet Mike because he loved it so much! All of our food was delicious! I got the tagliatelle in vodka sauce- literally licked my plate clean! Everyone loved what they got- rigattone vodka, ravioli just to name a few! For apps we split meatballs and fried shrimp. The meatballs are awesome! I'm super picky with meatballs because my mom and father in law make the best but Mike's were delicious! Highly recommend! read more

What a delicious surprise! We dipped in and found a fried ravioli and zucchini flower appetizer that was well seasoned and prepared to perfection. We shared the chicken cutlet with vodka sauce topped with burrata along with fresh pasta that did not disappoint. The vibe was chill, good service and great music. Literally dined to Louie Prima and Frank Sinatra.....a Sunday fave for sure! read more

As a fan of Carluccio's I've been looking forward to trying Mikes Pasta House. Service was slow. Everything was an up charge. For how much the prices are they could do a better job making the dining room look more inviting. The whole time the people in the booth behind us were pushing into our backs. Servers were very scattered and they were utilizing carts up and down the aisles. Was expecting a lot more. Sadly disappointed. read more
