The dish I had was baked tortellini with a tomato cream sauce, spice sausage and spinach. The combined ingredients made for an original, spicy, very Italian taste! My daughters got the Alfredo, they thought it was good but not amazing. I've found that it's hard to find an originally flavorful Alfredo...so I won't hold that against Pasta Jay's. My wife's combo dish was your more common Italian dishes, however she thought the quality, taste, and the overall baked dish was very good. Fast service. The price was a bit high, but this is Moab. read more

We were in town for one night after visiting Arches NP. Went to Pasta Jay's and we were amazed at the quality. We have had great Italian all over including Rome, Florence, and Venice. This was as good as any. The special was Chicken Genovese which was terrific. The wine list could use a little help but the Ruffino Chianti was just fine. Service was great as well. read more

Not what you'd expect for the price. The food is okay, but the portions are very small and the prices are high. I ordered the shells and when they came I was surprised! A huge bowl with two shells and some red sauce at the bottom. Luckily they brought garlic bread or I think we would have left hungrier than we were. Our server was great, but other staff members were not as friendly. The bottom line is that the price doesn't match the quality or quantity. read more

This is the Best Italian restaurant that I have ever been to, It gives Italy a run for it's money. If you are ever in Moab, UT stop in at Pasta Jay's you won't be disappointed!!! read more

It was busy Friday night, but we were lucky enough to get a table. Our waitress was very nice and attentive. She always came back and checked on us. The food was very good. One thing that I didn't like about this place was they put each table too close to each other to make room for more customers. I was bumped by a lot of people while eating. However, that was just a minor issue, and we will definitely come back to this restaurant next time we visit Moab. read more

Enjoyed the food, ambiance and staff. One negative comment is that the sauce was volcanic! Spicey. I like spicey stuff and I had a hard time with it. Other than that the meal was very good. read more

Excellent little find. We had their garlic bread and Roman Orgy pizza. Everything, including the service, was excellent.

Really great food. I keep coming back every time I am in Moab.

We called in an order for a pizza about 9:30 on a Sunday evening. The on-line menu showed a large 3 topping pizza for $14.99 We ordered one half with one topping and the opposite half with 2 toppings that were different from the first half. They charged us $20 for this pizza. I didn't push it. Just wanted to take the pie back to my hotel and feed the family. Opened the box and found a thin crust pizza as advertised with toppings that were as thin, or thinner, than the crust. $5 grab and go pizza at little Caesar's is better than what Pasta Jay's serves. The person on the phone was friendly. Atmosphere in the restaurant seemed good also. I see the reviews are mixed when looking through them so Jay has some work to do with his staff. read more

Large choice of dishes covering both vegetarian and non vegetarian desires. If you want to get an overview of different types of pasta, try out the Hagan Option and compose it as you wish. The Manicotti are fine as well. Only the garlic bread was a disappointment, with too much butter and no real garlic flavour. Good serving size, cool after a strenous day on the trails surrounding Moab. read more

Absolutely delicious and a value for the $$. Highly recommend for carb lover. A local suggestion from the hotel desk staff. Ordered a salad with creamy Italian dressing, spaghetti with meat sauce and shrimp Giacomo. Large serving and tasted homemade. All staff was pleasant and prompt service. read more

The minestrone is good, the pizza just greasy and burned. If you don't like authentic Italian pizza, then this place is probably good.

Pasta Is is the best Italian food I have eaten. The service is great. They make their own sauces. The food is plentiful.

Like a few reviewers, we almost didn't come because of the overall 3 stars. We had a great experience - lots of food, good, flavorful sauce - so we wanted to do.our part.to tip the scale to 4 stars. Come and eat here! read more

Just stand outside and smell the garlic...food is served quickly and hot, fresh from the oven. Probably the best Italian I've had in awhile. read more

We stayed in Moab for a week and ate out for every meal. Pasta Jay's was by far the best restaurant that we tried. We ate there twice. All 4 of us ordered different dishes each time, and we are all very happy with everything that we ordered. Their marinara sauce was excellent, as were all the baked pasta dishes. The Cesar salad was very good as well, with fresh home-made dressing. My wife even loved the eggplant parmesan, and she is very particular. They also really went above and beyond the call of duty, when they mailed us back something that we had left in the restaurant, after we realized that we left it there a week after returning to San Francisco! read more

We ordered the cheese tortellone with chicken, out of this world ! The garlic bread is great! Wish there was one near my home!

Truly one of the worst restaurants I've been to. The lasagna was terrible, drenched in some sort of red sauce, and it had obviously been sitting under a warmer for far too long. The service was awful! We had to wait a full 1/2 hour for our check after our meal was done, then another 15 minutes for the waitress to decide to come back. And the noise level is terrible. Avoid this place! read more

To get started, the waiter brought an odd number of breadsticks. Who the fuck does that? Anyways, I had an Alfredo Williams. Someone pulled that chicken out of hell because that chicken was hot as fuck. Moving on, there was a wall to my right, disabling me from cutting that sexy chicken. But other than that, that shit was good.3 read more

We have lived in Moab for a long time now. And have tried most of the restaurant's in town. This is still our favorite.

The atmosphere was good and the chicken pizza tasted great. Unfortunately it made me sick. Narrowed it down to the pizza because everyone that didn't taste it was fine and everyone that did got sick. Nothing worse than being sick on a car ride home stopping at every gas station on the way. read more

First the good, Tiffany was a very enjoyable waitress to have and very friendly. Then there is the $30 pasta & sausage with pesto and a side of shrimp; pasta was dry and not cooked through, pesto was sort of drizzled over the sausage. Had to get another side of sauce and then take some off of friends plate. I don't mind paying $30.00 for what I ordered, but if your going to mark something as simple as pasta up 800% at least provide cooked pasta and ample sauce.. Tiffany gets a 5. Restaurant a 2. read more

Just might be my favorite restaurant on the planet. Red sauce is ridiculously good. Italian sausages. Eggplant. A tradition for my family and I. read more

Pretty basic menu, pretty basic food. For the price I expected more. Layout of tables is poor. Our table on the outside offered seating in the isle with wait staff constantly bumping you or on the outside wall (plastic panel) with a drop off so you chair is higher in the front than the back. All around wouldn't choose to go again, but the food was edible, just not a real pleasant experience. (We did ask about being moved and were told it would be another 1/2 hour wait, so we stayed put). read more

Mediocre food at sky-high prices, topped off with awful service. The waiter dropped off our drinks, came back 5 minutes later with menus, and then disappeared for another 20. We finally flagged someone down and got him to come take our orders. The food was meh, tastes about the same as something you'd find in the freezer aisle. The pizza dough and sauce were bland, and the pasta was a bit soggy. Our waiter never reappeared to check on us after we got the food- we wanted an extra plate and some balsamic, but decided it wasn't worth the hassle. Do not recommend. read more

My wife and I ate here and really enjoyed the food. The atmosphere is pleasant in the restaurant but nothing fancy. It also has a large outdoor eating area. The pasta was al dente and the sauce was hearty with a nice amount of spices and garlic. I would go here again. Visited: September 2015 read more

We enjoy Pasta Jays so much that we always stock up with a case of their marinara sauce ever time we are in Moab. Today we are staying over night in Moab on our way to Arizona just so we could get our sauce. Always eat at Pizza Jays while in town. Food is unique and never had a bad entree. read more

on a 7 day road trip from Philly Pa....this was the BEST eating stop....had chicken parm and ceasar salad...PERFECT food and PERFECT SERVICE from SABASTIAN....He was a doll and we loved speaking with him...he was very helpful with directions and advice for our tours that we had to do...what a sweetheart he was...If you eat here at this restaurant, be sure to ask for SABASTIAN....You'll love him. Donna and Paul / Phila/Pa. read more

Hit or miss... more fast food-y than a real Italian restaurant, for better or worse. Gnocchi was very good, but chicken parm just a chicken breast in a gigantic tub of sauce, accompanied by stale penne. Everything just seemed a little cheap and amateur, from the Parmesan cheese to the service to the food. Not awful, but would skip. read more

It has been a few months since our wedding, and I've had a chance to let the dust settle surrounding the big event but I wanted to give a great review to our caterer. I cannot say enough great things about working with Pasta Jay's catering staff for our wedding. I worked with James Lemon, the catering manager, the months leading up to our event at the end of October 2015. He talked me through our numbers and told me that I was ordering too much food. He recommended different choices for our crowd. He took the time to meet with me, walk through our venue days before the event (this was a destination wedding) and helped us troubleshoot our issue of how to get our own appetizers served and cake cut and served to our guests. He was flexible and so so helpful the night of. He didn't bother me, the bride, and directed questions at my MC and family. His staff was courteous, helpful and provided good service. He offered a special olive oil drizzle from the restaurant for our caprese skewer appetizers, to make them better. When the time came to cut the cake, they whisked it away, made sure each guest was offered some and then they packed up the leftovers in to-go boxes and saran wrap. The food at our event got many compliments. We had house salad, chicken parm/eggplant parm, Pasta Pesto, Pasta Josephina (great choice!), with the breadsticks. The labor was so affordable and to feed our 60 guests we spent about $1,400. I would recommend working with James and using Pasta Jay's as a caterer for your event in Moab! read more

Me and my husband had a small pizza to share which was just ok for us.. The beer was not cold I drink Coors Light and my mountains were not blue for sure. However our waiter was very nice.. Probably will not be going back.. read more

What a wonderful find on vacation. Even provided a bowl of water for our dog. Great Green Chili Pasta and Jay's Margerita

Good, but not great. Overpriced for what you get. We had a great waiter, but the kitchen couldn't get our orders right. They have some creative Italian dishes and I liked the flavor of my Pasta Olivia (daily special). But there wasn't much chicken in it. My friend had a really good creamy pesto tortellini dish. I did like that they had gluten free options, but a $3 up charge is a little much. My wife had a gluten free pizza that was just ok. Dominos has a better gluten free pizza. Plus they barely put any sauce on it at all. Now for the mistakes in the orders: our pizza was missing the green peppers we ordered, then when they brought some sautéed peppers out, it was three little slices for the whole personal pizza...and thanks for cutting them up...? (This is on top of putting hardly any sauce on the pizza.) Also, I asked for no cheese on my pasta Olivia, and what did I get? Cheese covering the entire dish. I sent it back and they just tried to scrape off the melted cheese. It was good enough for me and better than waiting 20 minutes for them to remake it, but they didn't ask if that was ok. I must give high praise for or waiter (I wish I could remember his name. He said he had just started working there). He got our orders right and as the kitchen was bringing out our food, he called them out on their mistakes before we even noticed them. He did everything he could to accommodate us and even got us a free dessert. He was very attentive and friendly. He is a big reason we still had a good experience. We didn't stay in Moab long enough to try other restaurants, but I imagine there are better options around. But if you're in the mood for Italian, this might be what you're looking for. read more

We ate there on the 4th of July for lunch. The pasta sauce with meat was pretty awful. The tomato sauce on top was like they had used a can of thin, runny tomato juice and thrown some canned diced tomatoes in with way too much garlic paste. The result was a runny, harsh flavored topping. The "meat" turned out to be a few small globules of grayish hamburger, i guess, that was buried in the bottom of the chipped bowl it was served in. They hadn't even made an effort to mix the meat in. The pasta at least was cooked well. The salad was a little better, though it was clearly out of a bag and covered with grated cheese. There was a limp looking slice of beet on the side, another can job. On the next table, a girl had scraped all her sauce off and put it on the side. We heard the waiter apologizing to her. She didn't even touch the pasta that was left. Pasta Jays has a great location on main street but its clearly tired. The napkins outside were old and thin, the metal chairs so uncomfortable that we had to perch on the edges. If you are going for a drink out of a bottle and don't mind being uncomfortable, its probably ok. So sad, we were really excited for the 4th of July lunch. Won"t be going back anytime soon. read more

This place is the bomb! Ignore the 3.5 star rating from people who only like Olive Garden. Chicken pesto tortellone was amazzzing! Service was top notch, Jesse was on point keeping up with all my refills and honest on suggestions. Best stop in Moab! read more

We had a variety of the food and it was all good. The stuffed chicken was good as was the spaghetti, lasagna and the pizza. More of a pasta place than a true Italian restaurant. They did not have limoncello and did not know what it was. Overall nice family restaurant. read more

This food was really delicious. We sat outside in a kid friendly section and enjoyed our baked pasta dishes. I had chicken genoese and it was tasty chicken with sausage and veg--wish I had leftovers. There wasn't any. :) stop here on your next trip to Moab! So tasty and just really hot and good. Hit the spot after a day in the outdoors. read more

Stopped by here for lunch on a Thursday. Took a minute or two for someone to greet us. We're seated and asked for a drink order. Pitcher of beer came fairly quickly. Specials were told to us and we opted for the penne formiaggio . Or pasta arrived in 10 to 15 minutes piping hot with garlic bread. The marinara sauce was delicious. We were checked on a few times. Had to get a box to take the rest of my pasta, was offered plastic ware if I needed it. Took a little longer than expected to get the bill. Prices were decent for a large lunch. read more

We arrived after a long day at Arches Nat'l Park. The hostesses were busy chatting and did not seem to care that we were there. After we were seated it was at least 10 min before our server came. Our food was very good, but they forgot to bring my salad. Stella was a nice waitress and once she got to us she was quite pleasant, but overall it was a less than positive experience. The bathrooms were not clean either which was a bummer. read more

Just ok. Ordered cheese bread, veggie pasta with pesto cream and chicken alfredo. The marinara for cheese bread was watered down. Chicken alfredo was pretty good, good sauceno and good chicken. I would not order the veggie pasta again.we would try again. read more
