3.5 stars rounded up We went in pretty close to closing and wanted to get a to go order, but they invited us to eat. While the service wasn't stellar, the food was freshly prepared and very good. The atmosphere is nice and we enjoyed playing "I Spy" with my nephew while we waited for dinner. While paying the check, my nephew enjoyed checking out Coney Island upstairs. We'd go back if we were back in Branson. read more

A fun little restaurant! Service is excellent, server was funny relatable and kind, gave us some free coupons which I didn't need, but was very thoughtful of her. The entertainer was pretty darn funny, and the decoration was fun aswell. Prices are very reasonable I got the Cajun chicken and shrimp pasta, the portions are generous, and well seasoned, the chicken was a little bit dry, but the dish itself was very tasty! If I found myself in Branson again, I would absolutely recommend this place! read more

The food was excellent and Amanda our server was great!! loved the decor! Definitely coming back!

Our waitress was Brand New. But found her way quickly. We ordered the Tri-Perfecta, which is Spaghetti with a large meatball, lasagna, and Creamy Penne Alfredo. Honestly, IMO. Lasagna is the same everywhere, not a huge difference between them. Kinda like meatloaf, it is what it is. But it was very nice. Spaghetti was nice, but the meatball took it for me. The Penne Alfredo was pretty dang good. Would definitely return! read more

This place was so fun inside, staff was friendly, and quick service. The menu was pretty standard for an Italian restaurant. My kids loved the spaghetti but the rest of us weren't really over the moon about the food. I had the fried ravioli as my meal with a side salad. Those were pretty good. I think someone else had steak bites and they said they didn't love those BUT the drinks were strong! Which was a plus after the afternoon we had. Overall this was pretty decent and a fun experience! read more

Weighting while sitting at the table and haven't gotten my food yet but already not off to a great start. The waiter is really rude but trying to hid it if that makes sense the table next to us asked "Can I get a water for now" and the waiter said "It's not for now it's forever" and told them he'd be back when they made up there mind. The orders on the menu are weird. I just wanted a normal cheeseburger and when I told him that he pointed at the menu and made me read what it said. And it wasn't anything like a normal cheeseburger read more

They took an hour and 30 minutes with ours food the service was slow, food cold never coming back ambiance was sad they was rolling there eyes and more. read more

Really dirty, very cheap sometimes old food,servers that do not want to be there. It's like they are trying to go out of business. They don't realize people red reviews. Don't expect them to last read more

Tammy's and my first time at Pasghetti's, but Jill and Cason have been here once before. We were up in the Branson area for a weekend trip, and 4 year old Cason wanted spaghetti and bread sticks for supper. And, since 4 year olds usually get their way, we went to Pasghetti's. It was around 6 pm in Branson, but the restaurant wasn't too busy, and we were seated quickly. Our server, Nikki, was very friendly and attentive and took care of all our dining needs. The restaurant is decorated in a somewhat Italian restaurant theme with posters of old time gangsters, like Al Capone, on the walls. Meh, but not terrible. The restaurant is big, and we were taken to a smaller back room to be seated. We immediately noticed the temperature in the room was very cold. We mentioned this to Nikki, and she promptly improved the temperature. As far as the food is concerned, Cason loved his spaghetti and bread sticks and ate four bread sticks quickly. He wouldn't eat lunch, so he was very hungry. All our entrees were okay, but I can't say it was the best Italian food I've ever had. Our entrees were of an adequate portion and served hot and prepared well. As for presentation and taste, the food was more like getting Italian food at a friend's house: good but not amazing. But, after driving to Branson and going to the Springfield aquarium all afternoon, we had a good supper. I can't say we'll be back anytime soon, but it's worth a try if you're looking for decent Italian meal. read more

Ambiance was about the only nice thing about this place. Waitress just started the night before so she is learning everything which is all good, but don't start new people on a Friday. Ordered appetizers and never got them. Ordered our food and it took awhile to get it. No drink refills. The biggest issue was they forgot my father in-laws food and it took us 17 minutes to get anyone's attention. Finally spoke to a manager(who was also playing hostess) and they handed it off to the kitchen manager. He comes out hears issue, goes to the kitchen and comes back with food. Says if he eats it I'm charging for it. We were in complete and utter shock. Normally you would eat that cost and as a courtesy not charge them for it. After some back and forth and the manager taking the plate away we asked for the check and went to leave. Had to wait another 21 minutes due to them charging for appetizers and father in laws meal. Recipe finally got fixed and we left. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. read more

This was very disappointing. To start off, it took us 15 minutes with an empty line to even get a table. Secondly, the waiters do not have any common sense. We asked 3 times in a row for a bigger plate/bowl for our salad, and it takes them 10 minutes each just to bring the same size saucer out. Lastly, almost all of the arcade machines were either broken, rigged, or filled with the same cheap toys. The food tasted mediocre, so much for a "New York Experience" read more

If it it was possible I'd give it a 0. I didn't even get to eat. We sat for 20 minutes no drinks the lady was so rude we left with nothing

RUN! Regardless of how commercialized Branson is, if you're going to have a giant walk through meatball in front of your restaurant, you should at least deliver decent food. We decided to go back the Pasghetti's, for nostalgia purpose. We visited tonight with one of our grown children, who used to live going here when they were younger. My how things have changed since our last visit. Host, was more worried about his AirPod playing in his ear than seating us, and the theme continued with our server. Who to her credit had was too many tables. But to allow AirPods while working a service job is quite off putting. The restaurant itself hadn't changed much but was terribly dirty. Everything had film on it, the tile walls had a couple years of handprints all over them. The food was blah! The GF penne with marinara was terrible. It was so overcooked, the noodles had turned too mush. The sauce was flavorless and lackluster. As my family said, we should have just went to Olive Garden. At least we would know what to expect going there. read more

Don't take children here expecting a great experience. The arcade is a joke. Mostly broken machines. Farris wheel never works apparently. The food is okay if that's all you're expecting for great food prices. Never again. read more

Came here for my son's 8th birthday. We ordered breadsticks which were soggy grease covered. We ordered Shrimp Alfredo which tasted like the noodles were boiled in shrimp water - ZERO good taste (actually sent it back after 2 bites). Currently sick to my stomach. My child's Alfredo was beyond bland, we used a ton of pepper and there was still no flavor. Service: took us 20 minutes to get three waters, took us an hour to get the salads, and about an hour and half to get the nasty food. Ambiance: The place was dirty. The "gift shop" was completely junk. Save your money & just snap a picture of the big meatball outside as you drive by cause it's not worth going inside. We visited here about 4 years ago around the same time and I can say this place has gone to shit! read more

The food was definitely not fresh. The service was okay the atmosphere was cool but that's about it. Food is a 1/10 for 2 people it was $54 and not worth a single penny. Prices are crazy high for non quality food. The spinach dip was definitely just microwaved with a squirt of sour cream on top. So unsatisfied..."Homemade"=store bought or just old. read more

Pasghetti's - Crazy expensive - Italian Near Me - Branson, Missouri

Food really is good, but won't be going back. Crammed in like sardines while 2/3 of the seating is open. Noise level in close quarters was horrible. Although we really do like the food we won't be returning. read more

Why anyone likes this place, other than for kids who have no idea yet on what good food is, is beyond us. The server was very abrupt and literally this was the worst excuse for Italian food we've ever had! Canned spaghetti and meatballs would be better and that's not saying much! Won't be back. read more

This was my second time visiting in as many years, and while the food was good, it is a bit depressing because it's so empty inside. But it is well themed, as if you're outside in a city, and as I said, our food was good. It was towards the end of the evening, and even though there were still a few tables with people dining, they came out with a bucket and started mopping the floors right next to use while we were finishing our meals. They also have a bar, a store with coffee shop and a small arcade upstairs. I probably won't go back, but I would in a pinch of if I was hungry for pasta. read more

I'm literally writing this while in the restaurant because it's so bad I can't wait to put this in writing. Neither the food nor the dining was fine and the prices for what we were served was just short of highway robbery. Our appetizer was still partially frozen. At least 1 drink was wrong. There was so much water in the spaghetti with meatball that we had to pour it into a separate dish. Meanwhile, the spaghetti with meat sauce only had meat and no sauce. The kids chicken Alfredo was missing the chicken and the two lasagna orders didn't even look like they were the same dish. One was extra saucy and the other dry. If you want to go somewhere that looks cool this is it, but if you want good food at a reasonable price, go somewhere else. read more

This place is massive and beautifully decorated! I love themed restaurants that go over the top with decor and this place was perfect!! So beautiful and clean. The staff were super kind and very accommodating (I had to move our reservations 3 times). The food was delicious, loved the ravioli appetizer (we even ordered an extra one because it was so good). The downside was the arcade upstairs had a lot of broken down machines or machines with issues. I was surprised this place wasn't busy with how awesome it is inside. Maybe next time we can request to eat in the trolley upstairs! read more

We popped in here after looking for a place to have a bit to eat before a show that we were attending. You cannot miss this restaurant. It has a huge meatball, with a fork in it out front, which makes for a great photo op. This restaurant is huge. They have dining areas all over the place. Seven "uniquely themed" ones to be exact. They say that they can easily seat 400 people. I love the main dining room's theme. It is like an Italian city. And because it is so close to Christmas when I visited, they had a huge Christmas tree right in the middle of it. Being the tourist spot that it is, there is a gift shop in the front of the restaurant, where you can buy merchandise, toys and other novelty items. They have a decent sized parking lot to go along with the dining area as well. On the upper level of the restaurant is additional seating, the restrooms, and a video game area with a small ferris wheel, some coin operated video games and some macho/strength games. The restaurant has a very nice selection of beer, wine and signature cocktails. Of course they serve your typical Italian fare including spaghetti and meatballs, lasagna, ravioli, chicken parmesan, caesar salad, chicken alfredo pasta, shrimp primevera, and cajun chicken and shrimp pasta. Also be sure to look out for their specials. I ended up ordering the spaghetti and meatballs for the littles and I got me a lasagna lunch special. It only took them about 7 minute for them to get us our food. Our server was very nice. He was friendly, patient and attentive. It may not have been the best lasagna that I have had, but it was pretty darn good. The sauce had a hint of sweet to it, which I liked. The littles liked their meals too. This restaurant has a great atmosphere, good food, savory drinks, and great service. It would also be perfect for large groups. I highly recommend checking this place out. read more

We arrived at 8 PM on Thursday, October 23. As the website indicates that the establishment is open until 9 PM. The doors were locked, no one would come out and even tell us that they weren't open. We called and they had indicated they closed at 8 PM. Very disappointing that no one would even come out and advise that they were closed. They would just stand there and look at us. Their website needs to be updated to the correct hours. read more

The food was great, could have been a little bigger portion sizes for the price. We also ordered "the grinch" and a "Jack Frost" per the season and both were extremely sweet, a little too sweet for me. My husband couldn't finish his drink at all. I love the interior of this restaurant, the waitress was great. Side note for all restaurants- do better at cleaning floors and out some effort into bathrooms. Bathrooms are the place people have a few moments alone and really notice things. At this particular restaurant, the bathroom had 4 stalls - 2 out of order. Of the 2 still working one wouldn't lock, which I used so my child could use the locking one. In the one I used the toilet paper holder was barely hanging on. Floors were extremely sticky, I washed the soles of my shoes once back at our VRBO. read more

I came here on a Sunday around 7pm and it was EMPTY. We were 1 out of 3 families in there. I love the outside of this place with the giant fork and meatball, so fun! The service was friendly and pretty quick but then again, there was barely anyone there. I had the 'Pasghetti and Meatball' and my husband had the 'Papa's Lasagna'. The food was just okay. The sauce was very bland. This was definitely the worst spot we went to for food. It was edible, we ate everything but wouldn't come back. I am sure there is more quality Italian places in Branson or the surrounding area. read more

The themed interior was really neat. The outside could use a massive power washing. The menu basic. The lasagna was dry, bland and smothered in sauce. Not sure if the was a frozen Banquet dinner or not. The need to hire Chef Boyardee. wont be back!! read more

The food was ok but somewhat dry and sweet and spicy no juice and the appetizer we got was the sampler kind of cold and no cheese pull and it was too little for too much service was slow read more

We were seated quickly--promising start! But then things went into slow motion. It took 15 minutes just to get our drink order in, which gave us plenty of time to memorize the menu, alphabetize the condiments, and contemplate our life choices. When the food finally arrived, it was... fine. Not hot, not cold--just sort of there, like it had been chauffeured over in a seat warmer that gave up halfway. The plates, however, were hot enough to brand cattle. After eating, we sat for another 15 minutes before our server reappeared, presumably returning from a quest to find the lost ticket book. In short: decent food, glacial service. If you come, bring snacks for the wait and maybe a heat lamp for your entrée. read more

We have always had great meals at Pasghetti's. The restaurant has a really nice vibe. The servihas alwaybeen great.

Food was ok. All the games were pretty much broke. Service ok. Very cool decor. That's about it. Went and probably won't be back.

Sincerely unimpressed. Terrible service, and we didn't even go into it with high expectations because our waitress told us at the very beginning it was her second night and "she pretty much knows nothing". Great. Took our drink order and apps order, all good. Took our food order, tried leaving the table before she got all the orders. The apps never came out. When we finally asked we got a "oh new system glitched, still want them?", no. Then the food comes out. It's alright, except dad didn't get his food. The kitchen staff is running food so they had no idea what was happening. Waited a second thinking his was coming. No. Did the waitress come check? Not for about 20 minutes as we're actively trying to flag down ANYONE. Fully ignored. Waitress finally comes, we're halfway done eating (at dad's request that we eat while it's warm not wait for him). And she looks puzzled and says "where's your food?". Let her know it never came and she said "oh, new system again, do you want to me go ahead and put the order in?" .....sure. Finally flagged someone down to get the manager and she looked around for a second and then just went back to work. Manager, with no management skills comes out with the food eventually, we're all done eating, and the hostess rudely walks by and says talk to them, dude has seemingly no idea why he's there. Tell him what happened and he just says "I was getting the food out as fast I could, it happens, can I help you with anything else?". Mom said I don't expect to see his food on the bill since he had to wait so long and eat after everyone. He says "if he eats he pays". Mom sees red, she told him this is not how you manage a restaurant, I would have comped the entire meal if I were running things but that's not what we're asking. He says he can do a discount, mom says no. He throws his hands up says "fine I can do that, sir you can eat it" and walks away. TWO seconds later the waitress we haven't seen all night drops the check and walks away. Check still has dads food on the bill so back to the manager mom went. We paid and left and will definitely not be back. Only full flop on our trip to Branson everyone else has been incredible. read more

This place is F.I.L.T.H.Y Everywhere you look it's disgusting and dirty. The bathrooms were worse. Theres no way management doesn't see this but we wanted to bring it to their attention and got a really short tempered young lady that immediately comp'd our bill and walked away. That is 100% not how we wanted this to go. So it makes me think it's not the first time she's heard this. Does the BOH ever visit this location? They really need to. And, the food everything was COLD read more

Do not waste your money! $180 for 6 people & none of were happy with the food. The pasta was so dry, the fettuccine was all stuck together & tasteless. Someone got spaghetti with meatballs & the only sauce on it was what was on the 1 fist sized meatball that came with it, everything else on the plate was dry unsauced spaghetti noodles. Very very disappointing at that price point. And nothing is included with entree, salad & bread both extra. Save your money. read more

Yummy as usual!! I suggest making a reservation if you are really hungry since our wait was a little over an hour. Although it was long, we able to get a couple of drinks at the bar before being seated. The food was worth the wait. The meatball is a mix of hamburger and Italian sausage that includes an added burst of flavor. Last but not least, I love the inside of the restaurant because it is made to look as if the diner is in a New York City burro with cute shops, a trolley, and rides at Coney Island. read more

Food were not great. But nice parking lot is plenty to park. Bored taste too. Hope they upgrade health foods.

Authors note: I wrote the majority of this while sitting at the table, but edited it an hour later at our resort. Regardless, I don't normally write one-star reviews, but this place deserves it, and if possible I would give it a NEGATIVE FIVE stars. Here's the original post: Food and service are marginal at best. We made a reservation for a party of 18 six hours in advance and was put at three separate tables 20 minutes after arrival--I guess they didn't have time to push them together and rearrange the chairs. It didn't stop them from adding the 18% tip automatically for large parties even though we were at separate tables. Too bad for them; I usually tip at least 20%. When they delivered the meals we were missing utensils...again, had to wait while my salad wilted. When one of the wait staff brought out a tray of plates he tried to distribute them, but we had to help because he couldn't even identify what was on the plates. (He informed us that it was his first day). The spaghetti sauce is almost better than ketchup, the bread is tough, the chicken parm is obviously frozen, and when I ordered Blue cheese dressing for my side salad was told upon arrival that she (the server) "couldn't find the blue cheese, but here's ranch--it doesn't matter." This place might be acceptable for four year-old kids that only eat frozen chicken nuggets, but no adult in their right mind would eat there....this just in (we received the bill): when the server found out that it was our 82 y/o's birthday, they offered cake--we found out that it wasn't "on the house" when it posted to our bill. I don't mind paying for it, but really? (Note: we only mentioned the birthday because they handed the bill to the man celebrating his birthday, and we insisted that we pay for the meals because it was his birthday). Well...one more item as we were getting ready to pay: a bus boy took it upon himself to begin scraping the take-home plates into the trash before the server brought out our boxes. I can't wait to leave. I was just informed by my 7 y/o niece that "the floor in the bathroom is sticky and gross!" My kids told me that the "arcade" upstairs was missing parts (I.e. joysticks, buttons, etc...) on almost all the machines. What a wonderful memory for our grandfathers birthday. One we will never forget. The broccoli was good. That's it. Don't go there. Go to the Waffle House across the street for better food and service. read more

Food was not served hot. No plates served with appetizer. We ordered fried spinach as an appetizer. It was tasty but we had to use our fingers and paper towels because we had no plates or utensils. And no server insight to ask. Ordered a blood Mary. After asking 3-4 times we were finally told they didn't have any Bloody Mary mix. Women's bathroom was too disgusting to go into detail about. read more

We will never darken the doors again!! Our waitress was horrible! She sat down at our table to take our drink orders and she finally brought them out! All the Dr Peppers were horrible! We told her and she said they taste like shit right? She said I'm sorry I knew it was at the bottom! But she brought them to us anyways! We got her to bring us Sprite which was a million times better!! We gave our order and she didn't show back up to our table until almost an hour!! Finally she came back and said remember me!! And we told her it had been so long we didn't want our appetizers!! She said let me go see what's up with the kitchen and stayed gone!! We just got up and left!!! Horrible!!! read more
