This review is based on the fact that I have a gluten and wheat allergy. Prior to being diagnosed with this allergy my review of Pasta Grill would have been five stars. It has always been one of my favorite restaurants in Conway. I decided to try Pasta Grill since I knew they had non-pasta dishes on the menu. My biggest complaint with any restaurant is it's inability to provide a welcoming and positive experience for those with allergies. When I go to a restaurant with a well notated menu or knowledgeable staff, it makes all the difference in the world. I 100% understand that there can be cross-contamination issues in any restaurant that is not dedicated gluten free. Pasta Grill's menu was certainly created by someone who does not understand gluten. The menu has one starred gluten free item plus one dessert, however, after extensive questioning (and many trips by the server back to the kitchen to find out the answers), I found that the non pasta dishes such as the filet, salads, and salad dressings are gluten free. I'm sure that there may be some other items as well but I focused on what I wanted to eat. Our server had no knowledge about gluten. I could write an entire different review about the quality of our server but overall it was an extremely disappointing experience. Training staff and notating menus is not difficult. Having these allergies is not by choice and all I wanted to do was have a pleasant meal with my family at a restaurant we all enjoy. read more

My husband came here for a date night as it came highly recommended from some family members. The house salad, bread and cheese soup were delicious. Unfortunately, we were not wowed by our pasta dishes - they were lacking in flavor and creativity. We will definitely go back and try other menu items though. read more

Great restaurant, great Italian food, but stay away from the steak. Cooked perfect, but no flavor, and seasoned with some cheap sprinkle on top steak seasoning which charred black on the grill. This is a good restaurant, with excellent food and atmosphere, but k would recommend they remove the steaks from the menu, they are hurting the restaurant over all. read more

Portions were perfect for the lunch entree. I ordered the Portabella Alfredo Raviolli and spouse ordered Manicotti. Overall we spent no more for the two of us than we would have had we gone to Chic Fil A or some such fast food establishment. The total for just the two of us was $20. We were too full for dessert, though the white chocolate cheesecake sounded tempting! read more

Packed place, with a bit of a wait, but well worth it! You don't want to miss this place, or the divine strawberry cake!!

Seating is a little cramped, but the food is good. Definitely the best Italian in Conway.

I am visiting from California. I had been to Pasta Grill once before on a previous visit to Conway Arkansas; and this is the one place I had to dine at again. The place was packed with several large parties. I was told by the host it would be 1-1 1/2 hours to seat our party of eight. I told the host we were willing to wait. The host did some maneuvering and was able to seat us in about 30 minutes. The food was everything thing I expected. Absolutely delicious! Pasta Grill serves all the typical Italian dishes. They also serve steaks and have a large variety of unique specialty dishes. My choice was the shrimp and grits. The name is simple, but the dish is amazing. Beautiful presentation and layers of texture and flavors that will make you want to come back again and again. Even all the way from California. I highly recommend Pasta Grill. Also, I want to thank our server, Dylan. He was on top of it and made sure our dining experience was all we hoped for. read more

We have been several times and every time it has been exceptional. We will all be back. The service has been top notch a huge thing with me is get food right and keep drinks refilled and Pasta Grill is on top of it. Love the relaxing atmosphere. read more

One of my most favorite places to eat! Only downfall w this place is that it's not open all day. Food is amazing! Staff is amazing! Steaks are charbroiled and cooked to perfection. Pasta is delicious. Everything is always so great! So much food you get too. read more

In town for a business trip this place was recommended and far exceeded our expectation let first talk about the service level from Nicole it was top of the line, it was something you would except at a 4 or 5 star place. She was so delightful. We'll come back just for her service. Then the food oh my it was incredible too. This is going on the list for our company of place you must go to. Thanks Nicole! read more

We're from out of town and our friends brought us here. Wow! The BEST Italian food I've ever had. I had the garlic chicken cheesecake because it sounded crazy and it was- CRAZY GOOD! read more

Wow!! This place is awesome!! The food was fantastic. We had the shrimp New Orleans and the pasta grill sampler. It was seasoned perfectly and we were full by the time we left. The service was surpurb by Nicole. She knew the menu and was quick to deliver and ensure our experience was fantastic. I don't ever write reviews but just had to this time. Everyone should experience Pasta Grill!!! I will tell everyone I know about this place and Nicole!! read more

Conway AR is our stopover to OK city. Read the reviews for Pasta Grill and had to try it out. Great choice for my wife and I. She is a chicken parm fanatic and rated this as one of the best. I had the combo meal; homemade pepper sausage (to die for), homemade meatballs, ravioli and manicotti with their marinara sauce delicious! Great meal! read more

Wonderful food!!! Love their lemon salad dressing. Everything on the menu is good. Fast and friendly service!!! Take out orders are just as good as eat in orders. read more

We happened upon this place on a church trip! What a find!! Absolutely fabulousssss!! Outstanding food! We had 14 people so we had a lot of variety from the menu! Every bite beyond delicious!!!! The southern most pasta Defies description.. Wow!! read more

The first day we went it was fantastic but after that, eh it was OK. I just wish they were more consistent.

The best pasta I've had in a long time. Reasonably priced in a quaint restaurant. Great for a date night.

I love pasta grill. I love out of state and my wife and I come here when we come back to visit. It's awesome, never been disappointed. Southern most pasta is to die for if you like seafood, pasta and Cajun spice. Would highly recommend. read more

Food is great but expect a long wait especially on the weekends. The food scores 8 out of 10.

Took my parents for dinner with my wife and the food was very good, the service was good as well, I wasn't blown out of the water by it, the price of food was good too, I will go there again in a minute I specially liked the ambiance and the atmosphere of the restaurant. A great place to eat and have a romantic dinner with you love ones. read more

Such a great experience! Service is always great and food is always spectacular! Will most definitely be stopping back in again.

Very neat place....love the decor...food is fabulous and our waitress Shelby W. was the bomb...I would recommend all my friends to come!!!!

Flew in from Chicago to visit family, and went here on the way back to the airport. Food was phenomenal! The bread and sauce to start the meal was perfectly made, the butternut squash soup special was delicious, and each of our meals could not have been better! I would recommend this place to anyone anywhere near Conway - fantastic! read more

Delicious food. Average wait on a Friday night. Waiter was nice, but slow. Almost was charged for an extra meal. Double check your tickets!

I love this place. Very nice ambience and the food is delicious! One of the best Conway has to offer. Try the Chefs Gnocchi. It's amazing.

Two visits. First was a late lunch. Lasagna for her, fettuccine for me. Fresh baked bread with individual dipping sauce cups. Generous sized portions. Service was acceptable. Second visit was an early dinner. Again, fresh bread and sauce. Again, lasagna for her, Cajun shrimp for me. Absolutely delicious on both. Service was very good. I seldom give five stars but when I can't complain about anything, its "gotta" happen. Will try again. Maybe we can find something to complain about :) read more

As a frequent patron I would be remiss if a review was not written. Our weekend visits and takeout are for the consistently wonderful prime rib. Of the items we have tried on the menu all have been excellent. The French bread and marinara sauce is so good an appetite could be satisfied. Must be careful. Can't say enough good about the Pasta Grill. Favorite restaurant in town. read more

I grew up in a big Italian family and am a bit shocked that other Italians here on yelp approve of the Pasta Grill. I've been to the PG a few times and my food has been mediocre at best. They have a very bizarre tendency to mix in Mexican inspired elements into their "Italian" food. The "cannoli" is a tortilla fried cheesecake thing (Conway residents don't know the difference I guess) I was excited back when you guys first opened because Conway is seriously lacking when it comes to Italian cuisine...unfortunately they still are. :( read more

It has been a while since I had good italian food. This place takes the cake. Good prices and even better food. The lasagna is the best I've ever had. And they serve awesome garlic bread with marinara sauce before the meal. This is a fabulous lunch place and I would love to try it for dinner too. read more

Great food delivered to my daughters house for her graduation party food was hot, very good, plenty of bread and everything we needed for a fabulous celebration. Thank you for helping us celebrate. read more

We are new to Conway and the Pasta Grill came highly recommended. Friday night, we gave it a shot. First thought was the interior decor was simple, yet amazing. All the staff were very pleasant. Taylor was our server and he was great! The food was phenomenal... which is a slight understatement. The soup & garlic bread was so delicious. I had the Cajun Shrimp Pasta and my wife had the Chicken Fetteccuni Alfredo. Both dishes were the best pasta we've ever had. Hats off to the Chef's and crew! This place is a must visit if you live or visit Conway! read more

My new favorite restaurant in Conway. Appetizers are so-so but their main courses are very flavorful. Dishes are big enough to split. I've had the fried chicken Alfredo, jambalaya pasta, and shrimp and grits. All great but the last two are my favs! Great decor- good wine selection- good service! Finally- a small restaurant in Conway that delivers a powerful punch at a great price! read more

AWESOME food ~ never had an entree that wasn't perfect. Shrimp & Grits probably my favorite. It's my go to place for Italian. It's a quaint restaurant, nice atmosphere for date night. Excellent food, friendly service. Because it is SO good and therefore, so busy I highly recommend reservations at night. Even if you forget to call ahead, it's worth the wait ~ you won't regret it. Highly recommend! read more

Food and service are pretty good however the owner has a policy that they will not plate two items separately. A simple request and refusal on 4 different visits. Even the staff has commented and apologized but says they're not allowed to do it. The last visit they denied the request but compromised by putting an empty dish in between the items. Ridiculous. read more

This place is amazing! Even better than Olive Garden in my opinion! The staff is all really nice, the atmosphere is cool, and the food is good! Plus, you get a great amount of food for the price. :) Highly recommend. read more

Pretty solid Italian, and I like the atmosphere (feels a bit more upscale than most Conway places).

Did not receive our meal after waiting over 45 minutes. Three tables near ours received their food even though we were seated first. We kept our choices simple, but that didn't seem to help. The server blamed a large table on the other side of the restaurant for the delay. If this were true, then the other tables seated after us should not have received their meals either. He should have just admitted it was his fault. The hostess/manager tried to make it right, but it was too late. We invested an hour of our lives that we will never get back. Left hungry and went to Wendy's. Also, check your soft drink fountain, ours tasted a little funny. I hate to write this, because our previous visit was very good. We will not return. read more

Great food but that is where it stops. The restaurant 'doesn't technically do reservations' but if you wait in the foyer you will see persons come in after you but sit before you because they 'called ahead'. The online menu prices are not currently the actual price and when speaking with a manager (term used loosely) it was met with sarcasm. The service. or lack thereof, ruins the experience and it seems to be an issue that starts with management. This is the conversation: They have a menu with pricing listed for lunch and they charged us a total of $6 more than listed on 4 lunches - so I called and the guy to report this and he was like "yeah - we are working on getting those changed" I said why would you change the actual prices before you change your menu itself - you realize that when someone makes a call in order they are using that online menu the same way someone in a restaurant uses the one handed to them He said - no its not, but I am not going to debate that with you read more

Been a long term fan of Pasta Grill but we had our first disappointing meal this past Saturday.. We arrived about 5:15 and were immediately seated. Sat for some time before our waiter appeared and we ordered our wine. Took some time for the wine to arrive and then another long wait to place our order. After placing our orders we had to stop our server and ask for bread, then stop him again for another drink. When our food finally arrived we only received 3 out of the 4 meals. when he finally did come back to ask how everything was we had to tell him we were still missing one meal! Two of our party were never served another glass of wine. The southernmost pasta which is my go to favorite was bland as were other meals that night. Again we had to track down our server for our check. When leaving i asked to speak to the manager and she never appeared, then I had to track her down and explained the poor service and she really didn't seem to care. Normally a great dining experience there but this was a real letdown. Wayne read more

Well, if you're reading this now, Thom S., I have to say you are a lucky man. My girlfriend and I arrived at PG an hour before they closed, asked for a table, and were told that it would be an hour wait. We put our names down on the list and proceeded to head across the street for a beer, which we were recommended to do by the hostess. After a quick drink, we returned 30-40 minutes later to an empty waiting area, followed by a prompt seat at a table, she seemed quite "happy" to get us to our seats. See, Thom S., unlike you and your party, we arrived at the end of the dinner service--not lunch, and clearly everyone who worked for PG wanted to be somewhere else. I myself am a server at a local restaurant here in Conway, so I understand the business, and clearly we were "the last table," and we were treated as such. Grumpy, lackluster service. "Hi my name is 'mumble'," followed by a quick, oddly forceful "do you know what you want to eat??" Asked for a recommendation, upon stating it was my first time there, and received an "everything's good." Thanks. It was good; the food was great. However, I will suggest that if you do dine at Pasta Grill please arrive at the beginning of their dinner service when their servers might have a bit more life in them. Listening to our hostess didn't pay off, and well, neither did I. Sorry, 'mumble.' read more
