Vacationing in Branson with the kiddos, we wanted to check out the place with the big fork and meatball! It's awesome inside and makes you feel like you're eating in a neighborhood square. There was an old guy singing old karaoke country songs which added to the fun/weird atmosphere. Upstairs they have a small arcade that while cool, had about half the machines were broken. The service was really poor. Our waitress didn't just seem like it was her first job it seemed like it was the first time out of her house. We had been sitting for 10 minutes while she walked by 5 times before she even acknowledged us to say she'd be with us soon. She was confused when my wife ordered a Malbec, couldn't provide a single bit of information about the drink special, and didn't understand when I asked for a Peroni. You know, the standard Italian pilsner. One of the 8 beers ON THE MENU. The food is just ok. It was fine. It's close to Olive Garden. You're not gonna find granma's 100 year recipe here, standard spaghetti and meatballs which did their job well. We got the triperfecta the eggplant parm and the chicken parm and while they did not come out hot, everything tasted fine. The big draw here is the ambiance. The owner has a gold mine if they took some time to train wait staff and added some passion in the kitchen. I will also add that at some point in our meal someone started tossing warm rolls to patrons and that was a lot of fun. read more

I was disappointed with my experience. The service was excellent--Rachel was attentive, friendly, and did a great job taking care of us. Unfortunately, the food did not meet my expectations. I found it to be bland and lacking the variety of pasta options that I've come to expect from Italian restaurants. Compared to other local Italian restaurants we enjoy, the menu felt limited and the flavors were not particularly memorable. As a first-time visitor, I also found the restaurant a bit confusing when we arrived. We were immediately asked whether we wanted to attend a show rather than being directed to seating or given an explanation of how the restaurant operates. It seemed like there was an assumption that guests already understood the concept. A brief welcome and explanation for newcomers would have been helpful. While others may enjoy the experience, the food simply wasn't for me, and I would likely choose a different restaurant next time. read more

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

Interesting place. Branson is unique in itself but this place has a giant meatball outside. I can't say the food was terrible: it was actually good. I have spaghetti bolognese. Couldn't finish and brought home. I enjoyed a fishbowl margarita as well. The worst part was the speed. We were literally there over 2 hours. But I guess it could be Missouri speed. read more

Pasghetti's - Watery Spaghetti - Italian Near Me - Branson, Missouri

My dinner last week was great, our server Christal was amazing. Very attentive and kind.

I'm sitting at the bar and have been here for coming up on 10 min now and no one has come over to see if I need anything. I put in a to go order at the hostess stand and thought I would have a drink while I wait. I'm the ONLY person at the bar. I've watched the bartender make drink, clean glasses, wipe down the counter and he just walked away. Never said word 1 to me or even acknowledged that I was here. Totally ignored me. read more

Pasghetti's - Italian Near Me - Branson, Missouri

Starting off with our waiter he was great, super nice and attentive, unfortunately no one else of the staff we encountered were that way. The entertainer was great as well. However the design of the restaurant seems to be the only good thing going for them. As for the food the breadstick looks and tastes like it's a frozen great value breadstick. My husband's chicken Alfredo had no flavor he said it tasted like water and noodles. I did enjoy spaghetti and would recommend that if you did come here but don't waste your time. 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

Very disappointing experience. The service was terrible--we were only checked on once, and that was when our bill was brought to the table. The food was just as bad. The spaghetti honestly reminded me of the school lunches I had growing up, and not in a good way. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this place and definitely won't be coming back. read more

Everything was great! Our waitress Mallory was very attentive & outgoing. The food came out fast & was delicious. Would definitely recommend! read more

Service wasn't the best. I loved the pasta, but I wouldn't say it's any better than Olive Garden. It looks so creative inside, so you would think it would be amazing. This place could really be something. Also, it was not very clean. read more

The vibe of the restaurant was beautiful, very eclectic and nicely lit. Our waitress Terry was horrible. It took her 13 minutes to get our drink order, we got our main course before our appetizer, when we said we didn't need the appetizer anymore she stopped talking to us and had the two guys busting their asses help us and cash us out, while all the tables around us got WAY better service. Food was alright not worth the price though, Olive Garden is probably better for overall niceness and price. NOT UP TO THE HYPE- but the two men running around, bussing tables, bartending, and serving were the best and deserve the world. 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

Pasghetti's - Tri-Perfecta entree: spaghetti with their signature meatball, Papa's lasagna and penne pasta with Alfredo sauce and bread stick. - Italian Near Me - Branson, Missouri

Don't waste your money. This was not good at all! Servers were kind, but the food was gross. We are not picky eaters, but even my 4 kids wouldn't eat it. Zero stars, do not recommend. 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

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

There were ten of us eating dinner on July 10, 2026 at 6:00pm. They took us all the way to the back of the restaurant where another large group of people were seated. This group had a lot of kids and they were so loud that it made our dining experience miserable. Someone should have spoken to that table to get control of their kids and to be respectful of other diners but as usual, nothing was done. Won't be coming back because the management sucked. read more

First off the hostess was not friendly or welcoming at all. Our waitress told us that we were to order our food and drinks all at the same time and it was to all be on one ticket. She then said "thank you much" and walked off. It was so incredibly loud that we couldn't hear each other and the waitress got irritated that she couldn't hear us. Our food came out cold. We all ran out of drinks before we finished our meal, which is a huge pet peeve! I got up twice to find our waitress to refill our drinks but could never find her. We finally just decided to pay the bill and go... but she never came back to request the bill. I had to go get the hostess (who thankfully was a different one) to go get our bill for us. She didn't even thank us for coming in. Needless to say, we will not be back. read more

Advertising rolls and they had none. Flies all over the table area we were and front does wide open. Server was the only good thing (wish I could remember his name) we experienced and food was mediocre. Pasta Carbonara advertise with peas, and no peas were in the dish. Server did take care of us and none of this was on him but do better!!! We love the place but definitely has gone downhill. read more

This place was absolutely horrible, it was very gross, food everywhere and tables were grimy and sticky. The server was ok but service is very slow. We left before we even got our stuff I would not recommend going here with your kids. Horriable experience. God bless yall 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

Management honestly set this server up for failure. She was the only one serving which resulted in food coming cold, missing items, no drinks brought out and plates being broken. And the bartender being the owner? The food was bland and tasted like wet noodles and the "arcade" was honestly a joke. 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

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

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

This felt more like a tv dinner then good Italian food. The menu is limited. Honestly they could learn a thing or to from Olive Garden. I would like to take the owners to the north end in Boston. read more

Food took forever, never got some of our drinks. Some of the food was cold, chicken Alfredo pasta had no flavor, very underwhelming. For a tourist attracting place, I figured this place would have better food and service. Ambiance was okay. Half of the machines up in the "arcade" don't work and take your money. Would not recommend to come here. 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

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

Pasghetti's - Italian Near Me - Branson, Missouri

We went to Pasghetti's because another restaurant had a broken water main and we were referred to Pasghetti's. It was after 7 when we finally got there. The hostess was doing other jobs, including trying to get utensils to take to the tables, settling other issues away from the front desk and trying to check out leaving people. We waited. She was clearly over multi tasking and trying very hard. We got seated. Our waitress was great. She took special order for my husband and watched over it. The appetizer came out and we had to flag down the person that brought it, she was wandering around. The other tables around us were getting wrong orders also. A man then came out with food that was not ours, the waitress rushed in and took it up to go take it to the correct table. Then when our food did come, she once again swooped it to return my husband food as it was all served on different plates. She made sure it came back to him as ordered. But in the meantime, two of our spaghetti and meat ball dinners had a great sized meat ball and pasta under it. However, there was about a 1/8 cup of sauce on it, barely any. I asked for more sauce, which our waitress once again ran to get. She had to correct the other tables around us also. It was chaotic and she was working hard. There was live music where we could not see it. It was over by the bar. There was singing and gaity there, that we could hear. The spaghetti was not chef quality prepared. I had to ask for a knife to cut into the meatball. It was a good size but mediocre in flavor aas were the spaghetti noodles. The sauce was an inadequate balance with the pasta served. The sauce lacked flavor and flare. There was a bead stick served with it. Food was hot. These plates were almost 20$ a piece. Way over priced for the quality. There was nothing else with it. My recommendation is, if you want a good spaghetti dinner and quality of flavor, go to Olive Garden. You'll get a great salad, pasta and sauce that has taste and we'll balanced. Also, the grated cheese is a great addition. And the price is better. Sorry Pasghetti, but if no one tells you, how will you know. read more

We had Amanda as our server. She as amazing, she made sure we were taken care of, she was also very knowledgeable about the food and Branson. The way the restaurant was decorated was the coolest thing ever too! Will go back for sure! 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

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

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

Hands down the worst place in Branson we ate. Food was terrible all around...it was served cold & tasted terrible. For a place named Pasghetti's you would think that they would know how to make basic spaghetti, but no. Wait staff was not friendly or timely. They all seemed like they didn't want to be bothered. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone! 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

Pasghetti's - View of one the main dining room from upstairs. - Italian Near Me - Branson, Missouri

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
