On February 21, 2026 we ordered curbside to go, they said about 30 minutes til ready. I was a few minutes late getting there, they were out with in 5 minutes with my hot food. Took me around 20 minutes to get home with our food. It was still hot, the proportions were huge and very good. We both ordered pasta dishes, they were very large, hot and very tasty! The service was impeccable!! I'd give them a 10 out of 10!! Staff was very courteous too!! Carla Herbst Park Hills Mo 63601 read more

This review pains me. I didn't want to write this one, but it's necessary to inform others of the risk dining at this location. Last Saturday evening, my husband and I ordered dinner here (to go). Unfortunately, while eating his pasta, my husband bit into a sharp piece of metal that pierced his gum. The object was rusty and had signs of having been cooked along with the food. It was sharp. Given the time of night and the restaurant's 10 PM closing time, we weren't able to call immediately. I contacted the restaurant first thing the next morning, not to complain or demand compensation, but to notify them of a serious contamination issue that may lead to a medical emergency. I called first thing Sunday. The girl on the phone listened to what happened and put me on hold to speak with her manager. I was told the manager was too busy to speak with me. The response was nonchalant. The staff member I spoke with apologized, but there was no urgency or concern about investigating how this happened or ensuring other diners weren't affected. She didn't even ask which dish it was until I offered the information myself. I was told that the owner would be in touch. That call never came. I am not confident they even checked their kitchen. I understand that accidents happen. The way a restaurant handles those accidents speaks volumes about its integrity and professionalism. Unfortunately, there was a complete lack of accountability or follow-up. I waited a couple of days to see if anyone would reach out. No one has. I no longer feel safe dining at Pasta House Farmington, which is disappointing given how much I've enjoyed this location over the years; however, if this is how serious food safety issues are handled, other patrons deserve to be aware. UPDATE: I added two stars to this review because the owner contacted me today. I appreciate that she was professional, thorough, and took the situation seriously. She expressed genuine concern, assured me that she would investigate the issue fully, and emphasized her commitment to ensuring this does not happen again. She also insisted on replacing our meal, which was a kind gesture. read more

Pasta House - Metal in food - Italian Near Me - Farmington, Missouri

Salads and pasta are still pretty good. Cheesecake however is fluffy frig made type junk. Worth at least a full star deduction. If they're gonna charge $8 for a slice of cheesecake, it should at the very least be a baked one even if shipped frozen and it's a smaller piece. The experience ruined the whole meal. Very disappointing from an otherwise fairly popular successful local chain Service is very good read more

Your pasta was over cooked, everytime I've been there since I was a boy. Your product is lacking from sauce to seasoning. All is a fail. I wish I was Italian or wished I was but I'm not. Maybe rightly so, because I would really be hurt by what Pasta House calls that food Italian. It doesn't look Italian inside the restaurant BTW. I'm no chef or Italian I just love good food. No photo because no reason. read more

Said kids eat free and under beverages it says free drink with meal and had to pay for kids drink when they eat free

Got right in. Waitress was prompt. Food & Drinks were fast and good. Very attentive service. Portions were more than I could eat. Would definitely eat here again. PS - I'm an Italian restaurant foodie... read more

I used to love coming here. Although after how awful of service I received, I now refuse to dine at this establishment. The waitress named Shannon messed up half our drinks after taking 15 minutes to greet our table. She hardly checked in on our table for refills. We had been there for over an hour and still didn't receive or main food. She gave no updates about the food until I asked the hostess to talk to a manager. The sweet and kind hostess took my information and was very helpful during this. As she was finishing taking my information the waitress came up and marked out my complaint and put her own version of the complaint instead and then proceeded to bicker at me. When I came in latter to talk to someone about what happened, I was greeted with the owner. After our conversation it felt like nothing was going to be done or that they were apologetic. I also talked with multiple staff in passing when my information was taken, it seems like the waitress is creating a hostile work environment and the owner placates it. In conclusion I don't recommend eating here given the customer service and how they disregarded me entirely. read more

I had spaghetti, and it was pretty good. Didn't take long for the food to come out, and our waitress was ok. It did take a while for us to be seated, but overall, i would recommend if you are able to wait a couple of minutes. read more

It has been 5 years since I lasted tried Pasta House. It was bad then, and it is still bad. This time we tried lunch. I ordered Eggplant Parmigiana and the house salad. My husband ordered the Bacon Cheeseburger, salad and fries. The eggplant was breaded, fried and cooked through. The problem was there was just a smear of sauce and maybe a tablespoon of mozzarella cheese on top of each (two) pieces. Very disappointing. My husband's burger was hard as a rock, dry, and tasteless. The fries were soggy. With coffee, the bill was almost $40. The service was good, except for the server sweeping vigorously all around us, during our meal. Never again. Please don't waste your money read more

The service was great. I had the chicken Marsala and found it dry in the center of the breast. Tried the Italian fries but didn't like the strong onion flavor. Some of reminded me of French fries with onions, peppers on top of them. The drinks were what I expected. Lastly , your an Italian restaurant and some Italian music or something less pop and rock. Will return to try other options as well as the pizza. read more

I pick up takeout from the Pasta House because I felt like being a fancy bitch when I live in Farmington, MO. I needed, I craved some delicious pasta with a big, hearty meatball to dig into. What do I find when I break the seal on this travesty of an Italian dish? I find a little baby meatball. Instead of the delicious mound of meat I'm expecting, the meatballs I have enjoyed in the past from this very location, all I see is sadness and disappointment. Get your shit together Pasta House and give the people what they want. What they deserve. This is a joke. A bad joke. You should be ashamed. You should also give me my money back. read more

Pasta House - Spaghetti and Meatballs - Italian Near Me - Farmington, Missouri

Food was completely overcooked and un edible. Contacted a manager who could care less and said that the owner would call back in 1-2 days and theirs nothing they would or could do for us. Waited over a week for a call back and heard nothing back. Decided to try and give them another chance today but the manager on duty could care less about our experience. It's hit or miss, either the food is good when the staff and service cares or it's completely inedible due to staff. read more

Very poor service. They wanted $31.00 for a pizza to be delivered, plus delivery fee and tip. Items were left off of order PH tried to blame DoorDash. Would not eat there again, very poor value for the money. Exceptionally disappointed all around. Still waiting for refund for missed items. Had to have food delivered from second restaurant in order for all family members to have dinner. read more

Let's set the record straight. This place does not deserve as many bad reviews as it has. I can't speak for everyone though. Businesses like Humans can have bad days. That being said people could have really had a bad experience here. My experience here was amazing! The food was great and the staff was friendly. Though I am just some 15 Year old you'll never see in your life believe me when I say my experience was indeed 5 stars. My family almost didn't come because of the reviews, but I'm glad we did because I had a nice great tasting dinner with my family. I may not be some fancy food critic but I hope you take this review seriously. read more

Had the most amazing burger here!!! I ordered the Bacon & Cheddar Burger with Gorgonzola and sautéed onions, no bun. It was really really good, one of the best burgers I've ever had. That Gorgonzola is tasty. Substituted broccoli for the fries. The staff here is really friendly, very attentive, and provided fantastic service to us all night!!! My company hosted an event at this location and they were very accommodating. They made sure we had everything we asked for. Fantastic restaurant, would definitely recommend this place! read more

I ordered the eggplant parmigiana with broccoli. We also had the cheesy bread as an appetizer and the double chocolate cake for dessert. My eggplant was really good. It was lightly breaded and had a nice, fresh taste. It needed some salt but no big deal. The broccoli was meh. It needed salt as well. I liked the cheesy bread. They use a smoky mozzarella (I think) which adds a nice tone to the flavor. The chocolate cake was absolutely the best prt! Very good. If you go here you should definitely get it. The service was good but I do have a couple of complaints. It was expensive! It cost us $70 to eat here. Now, if I'm eating at some famous place known for its amazing food then I get it. But this is just a regular Italian restaurant. I didn't love their marinara sauce. It was okay. But not great. It needed something. I couldn't figure out what was missing. But it was just okay. Overall, it was a decent experience. And if you're craving Italian then you won't be disappointed coming here. read more

Grilled chicken with garden vegetables in a light white wine sauce. Awesome. I'm not fan of the peas. But the wine sauce is fire. Chicken slightly overcooked and could use a dash of salt. Nothing special about the rolls and butter. Server is wearing a mask. She was serving at least 6 other tables and made everyone happy. read more

Pasta House - This is the newest dish at the Pasta House. Its the Linguine Verdura - Italian Near Me - Farmington, Missouri

Salmon was buss. Service wasn't too shabby for the amount of people we had at our table. But as an Italian, it did disappoint. No Italian music. The pasta is never very good there, which is kinda L because it's supposed to be an Italian restaurant. read more

Overhead music was a turnoff. Sounded like a cheap transistor radio and was NOT Italian. The recommended scampi had good seasoning just not enough . Shrimp was so overcooked it was like cardboard. The whole dish came in a "sea" of oil. Dessert of misu was stale and soggy. Waitress chloe was the bright spot in another Midwest food disaster. read more

This is next to the many hotels within walking distance. I had the Chicken Marsala. It was good but not great. Tastes a little bland to me. Everything else was good. Not really much for a bar. They did offer wine and beer. read more

I always feel bad for reviewing chain restaurants like these because they all seem to have become just mediocre Over the past 10 years. Pasta house seems the same. Most of the food tastes "boxed". Like it's premade and reheated. Never seems fresh or made fresh. Staff is always nice hence the 3 star and not less. Expect to pay $40-$60 dollars and not be excited about it. read more

Ordered for pickup, Pasta Con Broccoli. AWFUL!!!! Three woody stems, about 4 Mushroom halves. Maybe half full of total product. Salad was watery, got about 4-5 woody artichoke stems. Save your money, Chef Boyardee Actually is comparable!!!! read more

I didn't get what I ordered...but didn't complain because I used to work in the restaurant und and know what cooks are capable of...

I love this place alot and when I need an Italian food fix when I'm in town, this is it! Always great service and food everytime I go here. The food is always fresh and delicious. My wife and I especially like Shannon too, she's a great server! read more

Convenient place to order pasta but significantly over priced for the quality. Great and friendly staff.

Love the portobello fritto, it is a great start to a meal!Nothing beats their rolls and salad!

Love this place! Not only is the food terrific but the staff work very hard to ensure your service is exceptional

I would not visit Pasta House in Farmington during a time after dinner, 7:00pm or later. Went to eat at 7:10 pm today, was seatied very quickly but waited 20 min with no one coming around to take drink order or food. one waitress was outside smoking and other 3 or 4 were completely ignoring us. read more

Poor Management. Food might be terrific. Dining room / host staff poorly trained. Patrons need to be acknowledged. Especially when other, later arriving, patrons are seated and their orders taken. No sense in hanging around when you are ignored. Like I was invisible. To be clear, dining room host seated me promptly and where I requested; but the handoff to a/the/any server was not made. This falls on training and the management when staff drops the ball. read more

Been eating at The Pasta House in Farmington, MO for longer than I can even remember. I usually always get the same dish - Rigatoni Roma . . . tubular pasta noodles (my favorite) with red meaty sauce, great seasoning, and a nice portion of cheese on top of the dish. LOVE MY CHEESE! They even serve their dinner tolls to you out of a basket, by hand. Of course, I just wish she would set the basket down, along with another plate of butter for the rolls and disappear. Why is it the Pasta House locations (Edwardsville, IL and Farmington, MO) seem to taste better than the locations in St. Louis? Is it just me? The service is always good and they have stopped maintaining their smoking section inside the restaurant. YES - those of you in St. Louis might freak out about this, but as of January 14th, no more smoking inside the restaurant. I was told it was in place for ALL Pasta House locations. If you are down in Farmington and looking for a good place to eat, I would recommend The Pasta House. I've never been disappointed in their food, service, and atmosphere. read more

I have been eating at Pasta House since the mid 80's and with all honesty over the years the quality of their food has really decreased, I still choose to eat there because despite my views on their food quality it is still good, however it seems like their prices have changed over the years but not for the better. I have eaten at this location 2 times, and both times I have had mediocre service. I don't know if its because it was loaded with a bunch of prom like kids, but we did seem to wait forever for refills and even just routine check backs to see how we were doing. I ordered the Spaghetti which I hadn't had in a while, and overall the taste was a little bland. I normally eat the Caneloni or when I am feeling like spending a little bit of money I will order the Chicken Marsala. I will continue to patronize The Pasta House Co. however I will most likely steer clear of this location and keep to the ones that I know will offer the better service. read more

We ordered curb side pick up and the gal who took our order was very pleasant and provided instructions on where to park when we arrived. We arrived a few minutes early and they were already processing our order so it arrived on time and as requested; 2 large pasta house salads and garlic cheese bread, 4 rolls and butter. The garlic cheese bread was yummy. Unfortunately, the salad quality hasn't changed. The ingredients are great but it's the same soggy mess, sitting in a puddle of watered down dressing; the same as the last time I had eaten at any of the Pasta Houses. I was sadly reminded why I no longer dine at this chain. Not sure why none of Pasta Houses can get a simple salad right. read more

I am ashamed to have paid $30 for what was about as tasty and healthy as Chef Boyardee. Nasty and a rip off. read more

Let me start by saying that the service here is wonderful. We went in last night and were seated right away. We had our drinks and roles within 5 minutes. Our waiter was efficient and friendly. When it came time to eat our food, we were disgusted. For an Italian style restaurant I was expecting authentic Italian food. We were eating microwaved, amateur cooking. Take noodles from a box, throw in some questionable meat and very poorly made sauce which can only come from a grocery store shelf. We were hungry from traveling from WI and wanted a great meal for dinner. Highly disappointed. We will not be going back or recommend this place to anyone. read more

Taste was similar to fazoli's on an olive garden budget! Sad. Salad soaking in cheese, over cooked pasta and taste-less sauce. Not to mention a million annoying people with overly loud children. Not my place. Again, visited this place in a dire state. read more

Went to pasta house Farmington for Sunday lunch 5/26/19. The servers and staff were great. Wife had chicken rustico. The chicken breast was tough and the sauce had a lumpy thick texture. I had chicken parm and again chicken breast was overcooked-tough and sauce dry. read more

We frequent this Pasta House for lunch. Service is often prompt and accurate. Food is consistent and appropriately priced. If they are swamped with customers expect a delay (as it would be any place). We typically order Vesuvius chicken strips, tortellini, or manicotti. read more

Pasta House was a great place to meet up with family. The restaurant was clean, the staff was friendly and the food was excellent. Exactly what we have come to expect from Pasta House! Also, on Sunday they offer a free kids meal with each adult meal. It's a great value for families wanting to go out for lunch or dinner on Sunday! read more

After my previous experience the owner contacted me to discuss my concerns. I have recently returned to Pasta House with my picky child and the meals were much better. read more

If there was a way to list less than one star for service I would. Absolutely terrible waiter. This guy needs to find a new job. He stands at the table and talks to you and doesn't notice the empty glass set on the side of the table. Oh, did I mention we only noticed him waiting one one other table??? The manager had to do his job twice. He delivered out main course never to return, never! We had to get the manager for a box and the bill after waiting 5 minutes after we were finished eating! Will not return to this location!! May give another a chance in the future if I am near one and there is nothing better to eat. read more
