    Tortellone Alfredo
    Jason G.

    Randomly stopped here after coming back from a hike at Arches and needed some carbs. Service was great and so was the food, especially for being a Saturday in a touristy town. Would recommend.

    Spaghetti w/meat sauce. No red pepper flavor at all (personally hate.) Noodles -crumbled ground beef- then sauce on top

    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.

    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!

    Food was just okay. Gets the job done when hungry, but nothing to write home about. Service and atmosphere were both great though.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Been to Moab several times and always wanted to try Pasta Jay's but never have. Tried it today. Service was good. Food was great. Had the ambiance of a classic Italian eatery. Had good Garlic Bread with the trio sauce. Pizza was great too! Definitley would come back.

    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.

    Every single thing on the menu is fantastic! Pasta Jays is always great, even during peak season. Restaurant is clean, comfortable and family friendly. Service is always good. One of the best options in Moab!

    We stopped in for lunch and were surprised at how good the baked pastas were! I had the large shells filled with spinach, ricotta cheese etc. Services was good as well.

    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!!

    Fun place to eat with great outdoor seating right on Main St…read more Service is good, menu is large and prices are normal for the area. Food was good both times we went. But the "crunchy" chicken sandwich i got the second time was not even close to crunchy.

    If you are wondering what to order, there are a bunch of burgers on the menu. We watched a lot of…read moremeals be delivered to tables and all the food looked great! It is a large restaurant on one side a bar and on the other lots of tables for all sized groups. The bacon burger is what you want to order as it is large and tasty! My table mate loved it with the fries! The beer cheese soup is made in house and I had high expectations. But I would only rate it a 2 out of 5. Pizza was a great deal as it was the daily special for only 12$ with one topping and comes with honey. Pretty neat as I had never heard of dipping the thick crust in honey but it was delicious. The place is pretty cool vibe and you can tell they have a lot of regulars! Our waitress spent a ton of time talking to people that have turned into friends that frequently visit and sadly ignored our table most of the evening. It felt like all we did was wait. Drinks were served, then we waited 20 minutes for the waitress to return to take our order. Our food delivered to the table super fast which was unexpected. Then we enjoyed our meal and waited another 20+ minutes for the check. It was ridiculously slow and the restaurant was not crowded. So if you have a lot of time and don't mind chilling for over an hour and a half for a meal, this is the spot!
