Such a great atmosphere: dim, romantic lighting in the evening and really friendly servers. Food is AMAZING! Love the Chef's Gnocchi. Definitely my favorite spot in Conway! read more

Somehow, this is both the best and worst restaurant in Conway. The food is incredible. It's the only Italian place in town, and it is as good or better than any Italian restaurant in Central AR. But you better not be in a hurry. Lines are out the door. We try and order take out about once a month. I've literally been calling every minute for 30 minutes starting just before they open at 5 pm. It either gives me a busy tone, or it rings 20 times and some machine picks up. Could be a fax. Could be an answering machine. No message at all. So I'm ordering from Mikes Place. read more

This place was incredible! Pass up Olive Garden, and any other basic Italian place for this exceptionally delicious restaurant. The staff was extremely great! We will be telling all our friends about the Pasta Grill read more

This is easily one of my favorite go-to restaurants in town. The food is always excellent and we've never had a problem with the service, even on busier nights. The Southern Most pasta and Jambalaya Pasta are my favorites and the Shrimp and Grits are my fiancé's absolute favorite in town. I've heard so many good things about other dishes on the menu, but we love these so much it's hard for us to change it up! Highly recommend this place whether it's lunch with friends, date night, or a special anniversary. Their desserts are incredible too! read more

Pasta Grill is the Best date night in Conway. All the dishes are great. Bread is hot and fresh. If your in the mood for steak the Prime Rib is hard to pass up. Nice wine selection as well. Will be back soon. read more

We've gone here for special occasions a few times. Most are ok. This one was a horrible experience. No communication. Table wasn't ready. Had to split group. Get take out, because food is great but staff isn't helpful. read more

Food is AMAZING!! Never had a bad thing to eat here. The portions are huge. It's always busy there and the staff is average. I just wish they had more drink options besides wine and beer (the margaritas suck). The food is homemade, always hot and fresh. FYI they do not have tiramisu, but the desserts they do have are homemade and absolutely to die for. read more

Was very very good. Garlic bread was awesome, had their White Cheader dill soup and it was fantastic. I decided to try the garlic chicken cheesecake and was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. Deninatly a must try read more

My only complaint is that the simple food, like sandwiches and wraps, is horrible but the more "fancy" dishes, like the chef's gnocchi, the food is excellent. Decent price point and at least they do serve beer and wine, I would honestly say for a "date" type restaurant, it is the best in Conway. read more

If you want a fine dining experience (such as it is) in Conway, go here and not to Mike's Place. The food and service here are much better. I prefer the atmosphere here as well-- although there's no separate bar area, there are drinks. They serve Blue Sail coffee too! Be forewarned: On weekend nights, there can be a wait for tables (and food) up to an hour long. There's always folks planted outside on the benches wating for tables on the weekend. But that shows how it good it is that folks wanna wait that long. Bon Appetit-o! read more

It's almost as if nobody there has ever been to Italy or even did research on the Internet about how Italian food is supposed to taste before they opened the place. If you like super sweet marinara and things like "Italian nachos," then this is your place. If this place were in a real city, their rating would like be around 2 stars. read more

The best restaurant in Conway. When my wife and I have date night this is where we go. The food is always spectacular and the service is just as good. read more

Upon arriving, we were skeptical if they were open, but as we neared the entrance an employee opened the door and welcomed us in. We had arrived right around 6pm, and there was only one other table (a party of women enjoying wine and conversation). We were promptly seated and greeted by our server and drink orders taken. We ordered the fried (cheese) ravioli as a starter, and bread was brought out as well. The ravioli presentation was great, and the taste even better. Fried to perfection, not greasy or an overly cheesy mess. For an entree, I ordered the Cajun or Jambalaya Pasta (can't remember the name), and it was amazing! Penne pasta, a creamy cheese/alfredo sauce with a little spice, chicken, and andouille sausage. I opted to leave the mushrooms out. My partner ordered spaghetti and meat sauce and was pleased. Each meal comes with the choice of salad, but we opted out after such hearty appetizers. The space is small, but the way they've set it up really adds room without patrons being cramped. It's also beautifully and eloquently decorated. We didn't have any beer or wine on this trip, but will next time. I recommend anyone to at least try this out. It's a little pricey, but totally worth every penny! read more

Decent house salad. Avoid the steak if you don't want well done. Ordered rare plus and got well done on first try and medium plus on second. Low quality meat, lots of gristle. Ordered the NY strip. read more

Only problem is I wish the place was bigger so we didn't have to remember to make a reservation. LOVE the food and atmosphere. Always have excellent service. read more

Conway doesn't have too many Italian restaurants, so this is where we like to go when we are wanting good pasta. Food and service is always great. The only issue is parking, and you can expect a long wait during dinner time on the weekends. read more

This is my favorite Italian restaurant! The wait staff and host are always so welcoming, and the service is ALWAYS superb! The food is fantastic and the wait , even on crazy busy nights , is never to long. The atmosphere is lovely! Only small issue is parking, but for us we don't mind to walk a little to get eat here ! The white chocolate cheesecake is an absolute MUST! This place never disappoints! We love Pasta Grill in conway! read more

I have an Italian mother. Food is your life when you grow up wth an Italian Mother and Grandmother. I moved to Arkansas in 1982 and what was called Italian food in Central Arkansas was very disappointing. There are a few decent Italian restaurants in Central Arkansas now and Pasta Grill is up there with the best. Their sauce is good enough to eat by itself. Great food, good service. read more

Need to learn to manage their tables a little better. We had a reservation for six at 7:30 one night, were not sat until after 8:00. The mash that I ordered was pretty good, but my wife did not fare as well with spaghetti (a staple that cannot be messed up if your Italian restaurant is to survive). Likewise, our dining partners steaks were all over-cooked. Wine selection is decent, but they had far too many offerings by the bottle and too few by the glass, a mistake in Conway, I think. read more

Beautiful restaurant. We arrived at 1:50 for lunch not knowing they closed at 2:00. We (party of 8)were still seated and served. I ordered the grill pasta. It was delicious. Great service. I can't wait to go back. read more

Very pleasant experience with family. I had the Shrimp and Grits (not something I would normally expect to find at a pasta place), and it was delicious, well portioned, and beautifully presented (though perhaps just a touch on the salty side). Everyone else was very pleased with their meals as well. There were a couple of minor issues that prevent this from being a 5 star experience. The tables were very wobbly, and someone decided to clean the table next to us with a smelly cleaner that did not mix well with the meal. read more

Amazing Italian joint in a very unique setting. Food is always consistent and the service is outstanding. As an Italian, I am often picky with going out to eat for Italian food but Pasta Grill is always outstanding. Definitely would recommend for a date night. Make sure to get your name on the list early if it's a good weekend! The place gets busy read more

Such a shame. Really high kudos on Yelp brought me here. Traveling through on business and didn't want a chain restaurant. Needless to say, their pasta needs a lot of work. Sent my first dish back (Cajun shrimp pasta) for undercooked noodles and watery sauce. Unacceptable for being called a "signature" dish. Decided to keep it simple and just get the shrimp Alfredo. Boy was I wrong, not really worth sending the second dish back so I got through it and ate the shrimp and tried to save it with the table cheese, epic fail. Maybe they have the people here fooled. If so, good for them... One star for the calamari portions. read more

Pasta was great! Could have had a little more sauce. I go back to try other dishes. It's worth your money. We did takeout.

Have been here 3 times, so far the food has been good and have returned based on this. Service is decent, however, each time I've been here we've had reservations and not seated for 30-45 minute past reserved time. One take out order and sat in their waiting area for 30 minutes past time given to be here to pick up order. Probably wont be back. Come on man! read more

We dine here about 3-4 times a year. I've had several of the pasta dishes, all delicious. Hubby always has Southern Most Pasta, which he loves. We eat about half of our entree, and bring home the rest. That allows us to save room for dessert (and we're not usually dessert people) because they are all made from scratch in house, and they're phenominal! The only one that we've been disappointed with is the canoli, it was okay, but not traditional Italian canoli. read more

Couldn't have asked for better carbonara. Very nicely decorated. A bit heavy on the amount of salad dressing in relationship to lettuce. Will rerun when in the area. read more

A Conway favorite!! We always get the chicken carbonara and chicken Alfredo. YUM! If you're ordering take out: tip, don't have to order bread because they'll pack you some already! We've never dined in only because it's a small venue and always packed when we try to go. read more

Great food & greater service. Got in when they opened, treated us as if we were the only customers there even when the house was full, and the house filled up FAST!! read more

This is, overall, the best restaurant in Conway. It's shocking how well they blend Italian, Cajun, and traditional southern elements to create a diverse, delicious, menu that is filled with great options. The shrimp and grits, the Parmesan encrusted scallops, the Steaks, and the Drew's hash are all exceptional. The food is prepared fresh and with great attention to detail. The atmosphere and service are both excellent. All in all, this little gem is worthy of destination dining for anyone in Central Arkansas. read more

Deliciousness, best pasta in town and you get a lot! You won't be able to finish it and the bread is REALLY good. Got the Prime Rib and was one of the best I ever had. This is my girlfriend and i favorite spot. read more

It is rare for me to give a perfect score but this place earned it 100%. The food was outstanding and the portions are huge. My wife loved it as did I. The service was fantastic. And the Cannoli was to die for! This just became our new favorite local. read more

The shrimp and grits plate is amazing and a large portion. The potato egg rolls are a great appetizer.

Love it! My husband and I have been several times, and the food is always amazing! Sometimes the server is a bit slow but the food makes up for it. read more

It's my favorite lunch place in town. The lunch menu pricing is very reasonable, and the food is great. It gets a bit crowded for me at dinner time, though. read more

I gave this restaurant five stars because of the shrimp that was in my meal. I ordered the Southerner and was very happy. It is very hard to cook shrimp correctly and these were cooked perfectly. They were large lightly cooked, not overcooked. I do not think they had ever been frozen. The parmesan cream sauce was fresh and had a good flavor. There was small loaf of buttered bread came with the meal that was very good. There was just a hint of cayenne in my meal. The pasta was well-cooked, the wait staff was attentive. I recommend this restaurant if you are hungry for Italian food. I was totally satisfied. I also made two meals out of the one, it was a large meal. read more

Wife and I traveling from SC to Okla. found this GREAT restaurant. Had the Southern Most Pasta and Tortellini Carbonara. Absolute excellent! The sauce was superb. And if Nicole waits on you, you will be blessed. Can't say enough good things about her service. Highly recommend this 5 star restaurant. read more

We always have an amazing experience here. One of conway's best hidden gems. My favorite is the Grille Pasta!

Traveling and looking for someplace to have dinner. Looked on yelp and found the Pasta Grill. Great food, great service. Since we're from MA it was funny our waiter was a Pats fan! Too funny! All kidding aside the speciality pastas were great highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Visited on a Wednesday evening at 6:00. Our server was sweet and seemed to be trying very hard. She did great. Wine and beer selection. I had the tortellini and my guest had the variety plate. Food priced for serving size. Our entrees were shareable. Garlic bread was simple but nicely executed. My pasta was cooked perfectly, chicken thinly sliced which I preferred. My guest said his Italian sausage was excellent and comparable to the Italian found on the Hill in St. Louis. Cheese ravioli was also delicious per him. Atmosphere is exposed brick, soft lighting, both and table seating. There is not a bar and they have a small waiting area. I will be going back if I ever visit again as the menu had too many things I need to have in my life. read more
