First time getting food here and very underwhelmed. Alfredo sauce tastes like basic white gravy. Staff was nice though. read more

Came for some toasted raviolis, stayed for Mamas Favorite! This chicken, artichoke, creamy white sauce pasta was soooooo hot and delicious! The young lady recommended it to me and it was great! I also tried the beef & cheese Toasted Ravioli and they were great! read more

Had food delivered from Pasta Express. Great packaging and all needed utensils were included. Meals were all excellent.

I made a yelp account just so I can share my thoughts and feelings on my husband and I's experience here which was our first and last time time. We both ordered the chicken Alfredo ; mine was breaded, his was grilled. We also ordered a salad which was 9.99.. but we were surprised that a 9.99 salad only came with lettuce & parmesan cheese.. their "house salad".. it was extra to have tomato's & regular shredded cheese.. (75 cents) we found that to be super expensive for just lettuce... about the pasta now.. his grilled chicken tastes awful.. the pasta had to much sauce with no flavor.. we both had to use a lot of salt & pepper.. it still didn't help.. 45 minutes later we were both in bathrooms.. stomach aches.. and well I won't share the rest. We fell this restaurant could improve by updating their house salad to more than just lettuce, we felt scammed after our experience.. 45 dollars later just to be sick, disappointed and scammed.. please do better for your customers.. make the house salad.. an actually salad or change the price!!!! read more

Great menu and food! Love their salad and spaghetti. Easy to order and pickup for taking home

The food is really good you get a lot of food for not a lot of money. Their salad is great, their ravioli, and their alfredo is amazing. The service is decent depending on where you go and when. There isn't a lot of ambiance because it's a casual dining place. read more

Alfredo momma's favorite really water no seasoning very disappointing. Too many unnecessary ingredients mixed in they need someone to really taste test the menu read more

Quick and easy, good food. Lots of options for picky kids. I enjoyed the meatballs. The employees were very nice.

Food is pretty good. However, their online order service is terrible. Went from a perfectly working app to a disastrous website based order service. Lost the points I had through the app. They say they will re-credit the points but that was a long time ago. read more

Great place for cheap, good food. I recommend the toasted ravioli and the delicious side salad. Wish I lived closer so I could come more often! read more

Haha... I totally love this place - good, fast, inexpensive food! I wish I could find toasted ravioli like they have somewhere else. *sigh* I used to eat lunch at the Pasta Express location on Sunshine a lot and then sometimes, I'd pick up big family sized orders (from Battlefield) after a day at the mall or movies and take them to my parents house so my mom didn't have to cook everytime I came over. It made everyone happy. I tried other things than the toasted ravioli but I can't remember them so well. I'd remember if they were bad though. LoL I just really liked the ravioli. Another place to hit next time I make it home again. :) read more

Not bad. Lasagna and Italian beef sandwich were good. Lasagna was good bit needed more seasoning and some meat. Aus juice was a little salty. The French bread they use should have been toasted crisper. Or switch to gonella bread, its Italian style bred that is great for these types of sandwiches. Prices weren't bad. Might eat here again if nearby in future. read more

I ate here once in 2012, found it typically good (as all Pasta Express locations tend to be) and hadn't stopped in at this location since. Wow! They have really remodeled and expanded. It is now a spacious lovely casual Italian restaurant. My husband enjoyed the sausage & onion pasta and I had Mama's Favorite, which is a creamy, decadent and amazing dish. We agreed it was the perfect hearty lunch at the end of a long road trip. While we still like other locations, I think this is our favorite now. read more

Great service at this location. I had the chicken spedini it was so good. The only thing I wish is that they never asked or had the option to add a tip to the bill. Plus wouldn't you know I don't have any cash on me. Then again I rarely do I am married. These employees deserved it for there good work. read more

Pasta Express - the dining area of the restaurant - Italian Near Me - Springfield, Missouri

Ah, Pasta Express. The now-defunct South Campbell location was a staple of mine in high school. Not only that, It was also the first place I ever worked. As far as first jobs are concerned, it couldn't have been better. Not only was management "cool" (read - "total heads") But the food was free. For a 15 year old, this was a fine arrangement. The toasted ravioli made for a fine snack after a trip to the walk-in fridge for a quick breather ;) I no longer live in Springfield and I haven't eaten at Pasta Express in over 5 years, but I assure you, one does not forget free food eaten on a nearly daily basis for 2 years. Assuming the menu hasn't changed much, I recommend the baked mostaccioli, broccoli chicken fettucini, the toasted ravioli and the lasagna. I also recommend taking those little rolls they give you, stuffing them with your pasta or salad and eating that way. That's just how I roll... The food is as tasty as you would find at any of the other pasta chains in town like Olive Garden or Zio's, and it's less expensive. Oh, and they deliver. read more

Checked this place out for lunch with a friend. I had the seafood Alfredo and they had regular Alfredo. The service was nice and included free bread. The pasta was cooked well but everything fell down with the sauce. Both of us left trying the best to describe the sauce on our dishes and what we came up with was not very flattering. It was white which is a good start for an Alfredo but was very thin. Think while milk. It lacked any real flavor. I think whomever was to make the sauce simple didn't work on it long enough to thicken it up or forget a to add a packet of something. The second problem that makes me give this place 2 stars was the seafood. Its large chunks of krab meat and very rubbery shrimp were just a turn off. For about 8 bucks I didn't expect a lot but this really missed the mark. So 2 stars. Meh, I've experienced better. read more

So this place ended up being an interesting surprise. We stopped here desperate for some lunch along the way as we were driving back home from SXSW. We got lucky in that the exit we got off on had an interesting shopping strip with a wide variety of food. After a long bit of consideration we decided upon Pasta Express Catering. Upon arriving at the counter where one orders I decided to go ahead and give the minestrone soup and caesar salad a try. The minestrone soup was actually one of the better one's I've had in my time (and I'm pretty particular about this dish). It was flavorful and had a decent ingredients to broth ratio. I definitely recommend ordering it. The caesar salad was also pretty nice and it definitely fulfilled my requirements for the item. Lastly the customer service was pretty spot on. The people up front were incredibly nice and our food arrived in a reasonable time frame. Should I find myself driving through that area again I will certainly have to stop in. read more

Had the Italian Beef, it was pretty good. The service is good, fast and courteous. I would come here again,

Pasta Broccoli and toasted ravioli are my faves. So yummy! read more

Pasta Express - Toasted Ravioli (yumola) - Italian Near Me - Springfield, Missouri

Came here because they sponsored a debate tournament and I got a coupon sheet, so that was nice of them to support the community. The lasagna was hot and delicious and the salad was crunchy, flavorful, and fresh. I would come back again. I ordered take out, and it seemed like quite a few others were there for dinner as well, but it was not a long wait. read more

It was not a good experience,.. the drive they lady was so rude then we get home had chicken Alfredo and the chicken was chewing the pasta was dry read more

My family has been coming here for a few years and it is always clean, reasonably priced with good fresh food. The staff is always extremely friendly. I often travel to St. Louis and have gotten toasted ravioli many places, and this is the best cheese ravioli I have gotten. The salad dressing is a delicious Italian dressing. They have a multiple drink options for kids including milk and juice which makes it a great place to bring my 2 and 1/2 year old. You will not be disappointed as this is a great place in Springfield. read more

Pasta has never been so "expressed" in all my days. The whole time you are thinking, "Man, this place is set up to be quick and easy. No way it can compare to other "real Italian" places." I'm telling you now... it whoops their butts! Their portabella ravioli is to die for. I can't wait to go back. Good salad. read more

I have been eating one thing form this place since the time it opened, Toasted Ravioli. It's one of my favorite foods and my favorite place to get is right here. They're quick, reasonable, and you get a good size portion. At some point I'll get off my kick and try something new from this fine place, but for now, I'll stick there with what I love. read more

Just are lunch! It was so great. Love the bread...although I held out today. Their salad is amazing! I noticed today how hard and diligent the manager was working. They deserve this review and I'll be back! read more

Since moving to Springfield, I've had a little trouble finding different spots to eat that I enjoy. After not being able to find a parking spot at the place we originally intended to eat at, we found this place. The place was empty which was nice. Nobody seemed to aknowledge me how they normally do, which was refreshing. It was nice to not be approached or gawked at, I'm very thankful for my experience here. The chicken parmangrio was simple and delicious. The bread came out quick and was nice and fresh. A little garlic on it though wouldn't have been bad. I'm a sucker for garlic, but it was great for what it was. Next came the salad, which semmed like everything I needed before devouring the generous portions of that amazing plate. I'll be back, 4 ouf of 5. read more

Probably the best pasta there is. I go there at least once a week. The customer service is always fantastic. I've tried many things on the menu and never been disappointed. One of my favorites I would have to say is pasta spinach or baked mostaccioli. No matter what you get make sure you get a side salad, their dressing is what makes it perfect. read more

A favorite pre-movie place for me and my family. It's fast, friendly and clean. It's also one of the few places in the SP that still carries cannelloni (i'm looking at you OG). Dine in, carry out or even catered, the food is still top notch and the portions are right for the price. read more

Milo Salad, got to get it! It is full of flavor. From the fresh ingredients used to the original salad dressing. Their prompt service justifies their name perfectly. I love both locations in Springfield...Battlefield and Republic Rd. read more

I was super excited about going to this place. Because we don't have anything like this back home..huge disappointed, went through drive thru on way home, took 22 minutes, yes I timed it. Lol. Then didn't think to look in bag. Once I got home. I ordered 2 chicken parm sandwiches , salads, and bread. Was that in bag...no. There was 2 meatball, 1 salad, and no bread. By the time I opened bag I was across town at home.m called and talked to manager this am. He said he would look into it and call Me back.. We will see if he does, and if so I will review this better. But for 17$ I want the right order. read more

Fantastic catering option! I manage Sunshine Lanes, a locally owned bowling center in Springfield and recently we have started offering Pasta Express catering to our customers, fantastic idea! Everyone is so great and easy to work with, the food options are fairly priced, and everything shows up on time. They do a great job so we can then do a great job for our customers. Huge shout out to Pasta Express Catering!! read more

We love to bring our 18 month old here. This is his happy place. They have great toasted ravioli for me, salads for dad, and cheesy noodles for baby. read more

I went here last week and got the Chicken Alfredo. While the Chicken Alfredo wasn't bad and I got a good portion of it. I can't say the cheesy garlic bread I ordered to go with it was any good. It was cold and greasy and had way too much garlic on it. Also when I arrived the place had no customers and was slow. The guy preparing my food showed no professionalism preparing my food. He basically just tossed the noodles the chicken and the Alfredo sauce in a pan heated it up then dumped it into a to go container. I also didn't like the counter girl picking up my piece of bread that went with the chicken Alfredo and tossing it into my bag. Not the best service for sure., read more

Great service! Employees are knowledgeable and friendly! HOWEVER! Bring back the the cheese you all use to use on the salads and less oil! Had quite a puddle in the bottom of my to go container. I can remember a much better salad back in the late 90s and early 2000s. Why the change?? Overall an amazing experience at the republic road location. Thank you!! read more

Okay, So ,yes, the food is pretty good. And, I used to eat at the one on National all the time before they turned it into a Einsteen Bagel place. BUT, I tried the one on Battlefield and was shocked at how much they have gone up on their prices!! I asked for the toasted ravoli. The cashier asked, "Oh, you want the value meal?" Sure. Then, she asked, "Do you want tomato and cheese on your sald?" Of course. The total came up to $9.99. WHAT!? For fast food pasta that is really not THAT good....I mean, not 10 dollars good!! So, I got a "VALUE MEAL" and had to pay extra for turning a plate of lettuce into a salad. I sat and ate my food in silence, thinking, "I could have eaten at Colton's and got a REAL meal for this price." I'm talking steak and bake potato kind of meal. I think it is time for Pasta Express to re-evaluate. read more

I LOVE the baked mostaccioli! That and the raviolis are my go to everytime I eat here. The salad and rolls and just everything are so good. I have eaten here since I was a little girl and I plan to continue eating here with my family as well. I HIGHLY recommend Pasta Express! Great service, food and atmosphere. read more

this place is good and all, food is fine. but the owner has a stick up his butt from time to time. i was waiting up at the front counter when an employee said out loud that i was waiting the owner stormed over and very firmly told me that i needed to wait for someone to help me, mind you i was only standing at the counter for just a min. then after i ordered i got the wrong food. i went to the counter and the owner was standing there writing on sa pad and i told him the error and he snapped at me telling me i he made sure i got what i ordered. i sat back down for a few mins till he left and told the nice girl behind the counter the error and it was promptly fixed. so like i said its fine and all but watch out for the oewner on a bad day read more

I ate there last night and it was so good I went back for lunch today. Food was generous for the price paid. Salad with ranch and cheese was delicious read more

We had never been here and were very pleasantly surprised. We were met by super friendly employees who helped us figure out what to do. We were told that any of the entrees could be modified. I had Mamas Favorite Pasta and my daughter had Seafood fettuccine. Food came to the table in less than 10 minutes very hot and everything tasted very fresh. Huge portions!Very very reasonably priced. So this place gets all stars for me... Friendly, fast, fresh, and super reasonably priced. read more
