Probably one of the best marinara sauces I've ever had. The sauce has a garlic roasted flavor. But it's not like other sauces with garlic. This one is more of a roasted. And the bread is amazing and the staff is wonderful. read more

We came here because it was Christmas Eve day and Antica was closed. We loved it and ate way more than we were thinking we could. We had a huge salad to start. Then my husband ordered the chicken Parmesan and I had the eggplant Parmesan. Both of them were absolutely delicious and I ended up eating all my eggplant. Both of them came with a side of pasta, which was cooked perfectly al dente. Service was great and attentive! We finished the meal sharing the lemon berry cake that was surprisingly tasty and not too sweet. We didn't used the restrooms, but the place looked overall nice and clean. Great experience! read more

We went here after a long day of hiking and it hit the spot! We got the antipasto salad to start and it was filled with a bunch of toppings and was so big the plate barely fit on the table. There was a ton of meat and vegetables on it and came with enough dressing to cover it all. We also got the garlic bread with 3 dipping sauces. All 3 had unique and taste flavors. Our favorite was the Alfredo. For entrees we got the chicken parm and Alfredo. We ate it all we were so hungry. The sauces you can tell are home made (in a good way). We weren't expecting much being in a small town but this place was spot on for some good Italian food. Overall i recommend this place for anyone looking for food Italian food in moab! Only thing that was a little awkward is how tiny the tables are. Our food was coming out so fast there wasn't even enough room on our table for everything so we had to hurry up and eat. read more

We had an awkward and frustrating visit. We were seated and given glasses of water (I'm assuming he was a busser) and then no one ever came back. We waited and waited and even finished the big glasses of water we were given and about 20 mins in still no one acknowledged us. If they were short handed I would totally understand! But there were sooooo many employees! I do not understand how not one approached us as they walked by us multiple times with our menus just sitting on the table waiting for someone to come take our order. I tried making eye contact with them as they went by but it's almost like they were trying to ignore us. It was the weirdest thing! We saw the server go to each table around us multiple times. We literally watched people get their food, eat and finish and yet not one server stoped by to check in and make sure someone had come by. I felt bad for the sweet girl at the host stand. I told her our situation and she kept apologizing. I reminded her that it wasn't her fault and that she really just needed to tell the manager about this. Also we were seated at the high top tables, I believe the sweet girl at the host stand said it was table #17. If I was the manager I would look into who was covering that area and have a little chat. It was very awkward and made us feel uncomfortable to the point of walking out and going somewhere else for dinner. read more

Pasta Jay's... first of all, amazing how it's not called Jay's Pasta. I don't know why... I just love it. My theory is that Jay is short for Jesus, as I went there on Easter and felt his presence. He was most definitely trying to give my table a taste of what it would feel like to burn in hell for not being in church on his big day of resurrection in the form of outdoor heaters BLASTING on a 70 degree day. Once the food came out, two words: pasta sweats (non-derogatory). And garlic bread WITH the meal?? You'd think we weren't even in a recession. I do think that Jesus would come here if he was around. Not last supper material but perhaps second-to-last supper. read more

Literally the best pasta spot in Utah. I not a huge pasta fan but every time we visit Moab we make sure to stop at Pasta Jays. The service was great, and the ambiance was nice. We went in November during a colder month but they had a closed patio and ceiling heaters to keep us warm and cosy. We came with a large group and the accommodated us just fine. read more

Nice wholesome pasta/pizza spot that's open late. Service was quick. A bit disappointed that vegan/vegetarian options are not marked on the menu, but I appreciated that our server let us know that the marinara (often a safe vegetarian option) has fish sauce in it. I got the pesto cream with rigatoni and it was delicious with the pasta perfectly al dente. A revised menu with more vegan options and clear indication of which items are or can be made vegan would be great. read more

We were in Moab for Father's Day, and went here for lunch. I liked the cool little downtown area of Moab. Kind of reminded me of downtown Scottsdale in AZ. Anyways..........we were seated right away and service was on top of it and friendly the whole visit. To eat, I went with the Hagan Option (3 items) and chose manicotti, stuffed shells and chicken parmigiana as my 3. I went with the tomato cream sauce (well worth the $2.00 extra). My wife and kids split a pizza. How was it? Hagan- Bomb! One of the best pasta dishes I have ever had. The manicotti and stuffed shells were stuffed with a wonderful ricotta and then topped with a lot of melty cheese and that bomb tomato cream sauce. The chicken parmigiana was nice and crispy, perfectly cooked, flat out delicious. I LOVED this dish. Pizza- They do a thinner crust pizza. Nice char on the bottom of the pizza. My kids and wife thought the toppings were good, but weren't the biggest fan of the dough/crust (I was....they just have whack tastebuds sometimes lol). Would definitely come back if I'm in Moab again. This was my favorite meal of our quick 4 day vacation. read more

Pasta Jay's is one of those Italian places you just want to come back to after a long day at work, or after a long time away from Moab. My friends and I missed it every day when we were in the Sierra Foothills of California. If you're coming to eat something low calorie, light, and healthy this is not that place. This restaurant is homey and feels like eating with family. My first time I ordered the pesto ravioli and second time I ordered one of the spicy red sauce sausage pastas. You know it's good when I come back for seconds :) The staff was super helpful to us during the ordering process and later when I helped with picking up the takeout. read more

The food is outstanding!! Service was on point. Ambiance was like a little Italian cafe so very cosy.

After hiking around Arches National Park, my family and I went here because they had gluten free options for my mom. They provide indoor and outdoor seating. We chose to sat indoor because it was too hot. The food was delicious. I ordered the tortellone alfredo and my mom ordered the pesto sausage pizza with gluten free crust. Wow, the food was great! The alfredo sauce with the stuffed cheese pasta with add on chicken was perfect. The chefs cooked it just right. For the pizza, the gluten free crust was worth it. Everything went well. Too fool to get dessert haha. Service was helpful, thank you for accommodating my mom for her gluten allergy. Come here if you want good Italian food!! read more

Food is okay, nothing amazing, had their Tortellone Alfredo and added chicken. The chicken was dry and chewy like jerky, the tortellone were okay but nothing great. The real issue is the service was horrible, server cut me off midstream of my order twice to ask questions and when I answered to try and complete order she still did not get it right. Saw her only to order and pay, will definitely not be back. read more

Wanted Italian and came to this spot. Love the story of restaurant origin, always down to support local places. The food looked and tasted fantastic! We both loved it, also came with garlic bread. Too much carbs though, need to eat in moderation. They are slightly slower with service but understandable. This place is packed. Very homey place, also has a bar. Missing a star because we also brought meatball sandwich home, definitely wasn't as good. There were only two meatballs in there, quite disappointing. However, would be back when in town! read more

We had a great dinner at Pasta Jay's in Moab! Service was fast and friendly with both indoor and outdoor seating available. All tables had cute red checkered tablecloths that were changed after each meal; nice touch. Our waitress, Lesly, was attentive and made sure everything was perfect. Food came out quickly and was absolutely delicious, but HOT (almost too hot); with that said, the sauce is really good! We both went with the Hagan Option, so we got to try a variety: manicotti, chicken parmesan, eggplant parmesan, meatballs, and jumbo stuffed shells. Everything was really good, but the manicotti was my favorite; the filling was spot on and the pasta tasted so fresh. All of our meals came with garlic bread that we felt was not very garlicky but was good for soaking up some of the delicious sauce. Overall, we really enjoyed our dinner here and will definitely be back the next time we're in town. read more

Pizza here was better than I expected it to be. It is thin crust but not dry or cracker, and sure it was a bit floppy and on the greasy side. But the mozzarella was quality and sauce tasted nice. Baked lasagna came boiling in marinara, but first time around it wasn't cooked all the way through. After a second bake, flavor was just okay. Light on noodles and heavy on the ricotta, if you prefer your lasagna to have no texture besides runny sauce and creamed cheese then you'll like it. We didn't so much. Atmosphere inside is classically styled, and while fine, this place is all about the Main Street patio and people watching. Except the metal patio chairs are hard and super uncomfortable. While there are many dining options around, I would probably come back here for the pizza. Probably. read more

If memory serves I think the bill was near $60 (w/o adding tip), but the food was really good. I'd wager that pretty much everything is made from scratch. Marinara was very good, a little acidic but that's part of tomatoes. Service was very quick and helpful, they stayed really busy even though. Place is a touch bit cramped, which will be a serious detriment when you're here in the main season, but worth it to me. read more

We grabbed two large pizzas from Papa Jay's in Moab--one pepperoni and one Hawaiian--and overall, it was a solid choice. Both had good flavor and were fresh out of the oven, but we found ourselves wishing for just a little more sauce. The crust was on the thinner side, which worked fine but didn't quite hit that perfect balance. Still, the toppings were generous, and everything tasted right. Not mind-blowing, but definitely enjoyable. A reliable, tasty option--4 stars and we'd happily eat here again. read more

We stopped in for a pizza after a long day of hiking. I was expecting average pizza.... Anything would have done the job, we were just hungry. Let me tell you, this wasn't average pizza. We ordered the Jays Roman Orgy, and it was perfect. Everything was so fresh. Large slices of green bell pepper, thick piece of sausage, and a crispy (but not too crispy) crust. The service was also super fast! Would definitely recommend! read more

Our first night in Moab we stopped at Pasta Jay's. I ordered the baked rigatoni. The noodles felt too chewy and I think they were underdone. The meat sauce was great, but it was a little watery at the bottom. We also ordered the cheese bread and it was definitely the best thing at the table. The service was not great - and it was a little off-putting for all of the waitresses to just sit in the middle and chat in-between "helping" the guests. It was a very meh experience and I was hoping for more. read more

The food is awful. The salad with Italian dressing was gloppy. The pizza has a crust like unleavened bread. The server was indifferent. AVOID!! read more

Came here after a long day of hiking at Arches because this was the only place open past 10pm. We were blown away. The service here is excellent, and the food is just as amazing. I got gnocchi and my parents got a pizza, and we all left feeling happy and full. The atmosphere was perfect, especially out on the patio. Loved this place! Would come back again and recommend to all! read more

After a very disappointing experience at another restaurant nearby( Trailhead) , we walked into Pasta Jay's hoping for something better -- and they exceeded every expectation. Even though the restaurant looked completely full, the staff seated our party of 7 immediately with zero hesitation. The atmosphere felt welcoming from the moment we stepped in. Our server was exceptionally kind, attentive, and genuine. You could feel that he truly cared about giving us a good experience. He checked on us regularly, made sure we had everything we needed, and treated us with warmth and respect. The food came out very quickly, which was such a relief since we were starving -- and every dish was fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. From start to finish, the entire dining experience was smooth, friendly, and enjoyable. The thin crust pizza was like chef's kiss:)) After being treated poorly across the street, the hospitality at Pasta Jay's honestly felt really great. They turned the bad night around. Highly recommend it for people who want to be treated well and experience great food read more
