Was influenced by Instagram as I saw a post on Pasta Party, and knowing how much my dad loves Italian food decided to take him here for lunch on a Friday. We tried the trio sampler of pastas and it was amazing! My dad loved it and so did I. The price was really decent for $29.99. We got to try three different types of pastas! I especially love that it came with complimentary bread and butter. We got the fettuccine Alfredo, which was so delicious and probably my favorite of the three. We also got the pesto pasta, which was also delicious. Honestly, all the pastas we tried were really good. It tasted very fresh. I don't know if they make their pasta there, but it tasted like they did. The lady that took our order was very friendly too! The vibe of the restaurant was as if you were in Italy. Definitely would recommend. read more

I became aware of this place after a social media post and it happens to be on the street I drive several days a week on my way home from work. I knew it was there but never stopped in until I saw their reel online. Ordered Rigatoni Bolognese and added two meatballs along with an Italian beer. $40 bucks‍ Waited for quite some time but figured it's made to order so I was patient. The Mexican music blaring from the kitchen should've been my first sign what I was in for. No Italian music. No feeling of being in Italy for a bowl of pasta. The server dropped some bread on my table and walked off. Individual butter packets that took two packets to spread across one small piece of bread. Bread was boring and nothing worth even eating. I barely ate one tiny slice. Pasta finally arrived and even though I requested Al Dente it was too soft and over cooked. Sauce was decent but needed way more garlic. The meatballs‍...the meatballs‍...were lukewarm and were so tough I could barely cut through it with a fork. They were chewy and tasteless. I got the sense they were left over from the days before, perhaps even frozen and reheated. The only positive was the new young girl at the counter who just started working here. She was pleasant and happy. The other employee assisting her appeared miserable and just gave off a bad vibe. Owners may want to intervene and rethink having this person interacting with customers. I may try to give em another opportunity but for the price it's gonna be tough to bring myself to stop in again. Perhaps if I'm starving on the way home I'll give it another whirl. read more

food was horrible. you can get from scratch pasta and pizza way better from cheesecake factory for the same price. bread was basically stale. if you have to come here please just get the pasta. the pizza and sandwiches are horrible. my pizza has so much cheap shredded mozzarella when it didn't even mention that ingredient on the menu. it said only tomatoes (barely any), ricotta, and fresh basil (none). i asked to add pesto +$3 and they barely put any and it tasted just like oil- no flavor. total price was $20. music was horrible and sounded like a gaming lobby waiting room like kahoot. it was constantly looping at a very high volume. service was very very sweet but will not come back sorry. read more

Pasta Party - 12" Pizza Margherita - Pizza Near Me - Orange, California

In-laws felt like Italian and this place had very high reviews. I would categorize this as "American Italian" and this isn't a bad thing, just know what to expect and don't compare this to what you had in Italy. They let you build your own pizza and pasta so it's a bit mis en place to customize your order to however you want. There is an "IG wall" you can take pictures at but it's located in a tiny normal strip mall and besides the website and social media pictures a pretty normal restaurant. Margherita Pizza :Tomato, Ricotta, Fresh Basil. Very sparse ricotta on this and felt like not enough cheese was used, see pictures. Cacio e Pepe: Spaghetti noodles, Pecorino Romano, Parmigiano, Olive Oil and Black Pepper. With sausage added, it was OK, too al dente and slightly under cooked. Rigatoni with Meatballs: This one I wish we ordered more of, we got it for the kids but I tried some and it tasted great. read more

I was told about this place a long time ago by a family member who lived in the area at the time, but had since moved away. So, really no reason for me to visit after that. Came across it again on a shopping trip for pet food and thought I'd stop by finally. Location: On the corner of Glassell and Lincoln Ave it's in a small strip mall with a private parking lot, but shared. Customer service is good and the ambiance was like walking onto a sidewalk cafe for a break after a shopping trip. Food: I wasn't feeling brave enough to chose my own plate, so I went with their braised beef ravioli in pink sauce. Wasn't expecting the mush like consistency of the filling, but I couldn't fault them the freshness of their pasta. There's just a taste you get from fresh made pasta you don't get with packaged ones. The pink sauce was divine and i liked it. Larger appetites will think the serving too small, but was just right for me since I had garlic bread. 8/10 The garlic bread wasn't my favorite. Too much oil/butter on the bread and not enough time in the oven or on the pan for a crust on the top. I was given the option of cheese on top but i passed on it. Maybe i should have gotten the cheese on top as that might have given me a crust on top of the bread. Summary: I left full and satisfied except for that garlic bread. Maybe next time I'll branch out and build my own next time. The menu looks inviting with endless combination possibilities. Adding a protein to your dish will be an extra charge. Build your own pizza is also available tool (They have signature pizzas too). However, sandwiches are not build. your own. Cute little place, just too bad it's so far away as I love pasta. Still reasonable prices for what you get and best of all:mom and pop shop. Happy Eating!!! read more

Pasta Party - Garlic bread. Needs more crunch and less time soaking in butter - Pizza Near Me - Orange, California

What can I say? I wanted carbs for lunch! Ordered a braised short rib pasta, meat lover pizza, and garlic bread. The one thing I was really eyeing was the pasta. The short ribs in there were so tender. They have nice pieces lathered onto the noodles. The noodles were nice and bouncy. They are wide and long, so fun to eat and just delicious. Would order this again! The meat lover pizza was amazing. My kids loved it, nice thin crush, nicely layered with cheese and just an overall yummy pizza. The garlic bread was a 6/10 not crazy over them. Service was good, the gal who took my order was down to earth. I waited about 15 mins until my entire order was done . Not too bad for all that food. Casual dining area and plenty of indoor seating along the wall. There is more seating towards the back as well. I love the different artwork highlighting Orange County. Super neat to look at. read more

I came to this place because of their reviews, but was disappointed in my experience. The restaurant was nearly empty while we were there and it took 45 minutes for our food to be ready. I understand people have off days, but the staff wasn't very friendly and seemed annoyed when asked questions (ie asked for a water cup because none were available). Braised beef ravioli - 6/10, beef was flavorful, sauce was bland BOYP (pappardelle, pink sauce, and sausage) - 3/10, the up charges on this felt excessive (ie $2 for pappardelle + $3 for pink sauce + $3.50 for sausage), the sauce was not flavorful, the pasta was cooked well, sausage was okay Garlic bread - 2/10, no garlic flavor I am tempted to try their pizza in the future, but would not re-order pasta. The price for the meal we ordered was not justified during this dining experience. read more

So this restaurant is a little hidden gem. If you like homemade pasta, well this place is for you. We ordered the three pasta special (penne pasta with creamy pesto, cacioe e peppe and added bacon, and braised beef pasta). We also had the chopped salad. Just delicious. The staff was great and hard working. We will definitely return....who wouldn't. read more

Pasta Party - Should have taken a picture before we attacked tjis bad boy. - Pizza Near Me - Orange, California

Food was good for kids but ambiance was terrible! Boiling hot in there at 6:30pm, everyone was sweating. How do you have a restaurant without air conditioning or any air flow at all? Two sets of music were playing, one for kitchen staff and one for customers, equally loud and fighting each other. Space is small and one party of slightly loud people (I don't blame them) is enough to make it unbearable. Clearly understaffed and food took ages. Phones constantly ringing. Water dispenser ran out so we were just getting ice which melted just fast enough in the awful heat! A full nightmare to visit, I'll never be back. read more

Had an amazing experience here! Food came out timely and staff was very helpful, also I was very surprised that the portions were gently sized. Will definitely be coming back! read more

Tried Pasta Party for the first time and it definitely won't be my last. The ambience is clean, chill, and really comfortable, perfect spot to relax and enjoy a good meal. The customer service was phenomenal from start to finish. The cashier was friendly and welcoming, and even the pizza maker checked in with us to see if we had any questions about the menu, which I really appreciated. We ordered the fettuccine with pesto sauce and a margherita pizza with pepperoni. The pizza was incredible the cheese tasted high quality and made every bite super satisfying. The pasta was just as impressive. The flavors were perfectly balanced, and it was so well seasoned that we didn't need to add any extra pepper or anything else. Overall, a great experience with both food and service. Definitely looking forward to coming back! read more

I came here with family. We all enjoyed our food and service. My sister ordered the cheese ravioli and said it was one of the best cheese ravioli dishes she has had. My mom ordered the cacio e pepe and enjoyed it. I ordered the parpadelle beef pasta and was blown away. Both my boyfriend and mom tried it and said my dish was the best. Big portion sizes. Comes with bread and butter. Pizza was decent. It was warm inside the restaurant--it is September and warm out. Customer service was good. Overall we all said we would come back. It's a must try read more

We tried Pasta Party again, this time for dinner. I had the lasagna and my wife had chicken Parmesan. My wife thought the chicken Parmesan was "Ok". It was well prepared and tasted ok. The lasagna was a large portion and had plenty of filling and sauce. I personally was not crazy about the flavor of the sauce. Pasta Party is "Ok" and we may come back, but I wouldn't get the lasagna again. read more

My husband, our 3 boys and i stayed at a local hotel so we chose this place for dinner based off the yelp reviews. I'm happy we did because they did not disappoint. Luckily we were the only ones dining in. It's in a strip mall so it's not that big inside but cute little cozy space with friendly staff. The food was even better! Their beef braised pasta was so good! I highly recommend. My husband and I split that with a Cesar salad and we were stuffed. If I'm ever in the OC I will definitely go back read more

Thank you to the owner for messaging me and making things right. I was able to place a new order to try them again and they made my new order correctly (tomato basil pasta). Really appreciate that. I think they put a pause on the Thai dishes which is a shame because those were actually really tasty and why I went back to give them a try. Maybe next time! read more

Like a normal pizzeria with seating into the back so it's not a romantic spot or overly picturesque. There's a parking lot which is convenient. Service was friendly and quick. They have a surcharge for using credit cards. Penne In pink sauce and sausage 8/10 Chicken parmigiana with spaghetti 9/10 Beef braised ravioli 9/10 - all the pastas were a bit on the salty side (prob the pink sauce) 12" pizza with half deluxe 10/10 They have a self serve soda machine but you do have to pay for a cup; they do offer water but it doesn't taste good at all. Their soda machine is all cream based drinks so if you don't like those I would bring your own water. read more

Food was delicious, but service was even better. The restaurant felt very homey and welcoming and the mini vespas were a nice touch. Alex recommended the short rib pasta, beef braised ravioli, or gnocchi and I opted for the short rib pasta. It was a generous portion and the pappardelle and short rib were cooked and seasoned to perfection. Alex, chef Fabio, and the rest of the team were great because you can really feel the love that was put into the food and restaurant. I will definitely be back! read more

Pasta Party - Parpadelle Beef Pasta - Pizza Near Me - Orange, California

4 stars simply for the pasta. We had penne and tagliatelle. One had fettuccine sauce the other beef braised sauce.. we were very disappointed with bread and cheese. For good quality pasta you need a good quality parm, pecorino not kraft bottled cheese. The bread was very dry too. It was accompanied by very cold small individual butter packets. The bread was more room temperature than warm. IG reels convinced me try this place and even though the pasta was delicious, I most likely won't come back. read more

This is a mom and pop type of place. It has very limited seatings but I see a lot of people come and order their food to go. Friendly staffs that greet you right when you walked in and take your order. My husband got the margarita pizza and I was craving bolognese with spaghetti. We've tried a few pizza places and this place has delicious pizza. And their noodles were Al dente. You can tell that an Italian chef made it from scratch. The only thing is the wait.. since the pizza is made to order, it does take a bit to come out. But we will def be back to try other dishes here read more

Decided to give this pasta place to try since we were in the area. This was actually our first time seeing and hearing about it but after looking at several other reviews, we were intrigued. Super cute inside. We both did the build your own pasta I got penne noodles, and some kind of spicy garlic red sauce with the meatball and my sister got the exact same thing except she got fettuccine noodles. We were unaware that when we got meatballs it literally just came with one giant funny looking meatball we were under the impression it was going to be multiple meatballs. We also got garlic bread. The garlic bread was amazing. Let's start with that. The garlic bread was so good. It had a wonderful crisp and grateful flavor extra garlic, but I like that. The pasta was OK. I literally can just say that the pasta was OK. I feel like it was too spicy to enjoy and the one big old meatball was throwing me off. I ended up having to cut it in multiple pieces. It wasn't nothing to rant or rave about literally the garlic bread was the best part. I would not recommend the pasta that I had normal my sister I probably should have just stuck to something simple like chicken Alfredo. The customer service was really good. I can say that they were very personable. We showed up maybe about 40 minutes before closing yime and they actually did start closing while we were still inside and yeah, not a fan favorite for me and my sister. read more

Stumbled across this gem and definitely will be back! The service was amazing and they were great at offering suggestions. We got: 1. the pasta trio ( pesto penne, beef ravioli , braised beef pasta ) 2. Caesar salad 3. Garlic bread Pesto was good and creamy! Beef ravioli was in a pink sauce and it was good! The meat inside was delicious ravioli. The braised beef pasta was bomb! It had mushrooms in it as well. The noodles tasted so good with this dish as well. They were flat and think. The sauce was perfect on it! The salad was good! I got the side salad size and it was just enough for two people to share it. The garlic bread was fresh and yummy! Love the atmosphere of this place! Makes you feel very welcomed! read more

Visited Pasta Party for the first time on 3/13 near closing time. Regardless of the time, the workers were so sweet and happy about our presence. My sister and I ordered cheesy garlic bread, pasta, and a sandwich. The price is completely reasonable and worth it for what we received. We did not wait long for the food it was given to us at a high speed and served hot. Will definitely come back again! The food was delicious and it is such a cute little spot for a date night with family, friends, or your partner. Thank you for a great dinner and experience! read more

Pasta Party - Cute italian decor - Pizza Near Me - Orange, California

Before we get into the food aspect, they have an interesting toilet situation. I recommend going in and take a look when you're there. So, the food. Loved that they let you do a mix of three different pastas, definitely not something I've seen elsewhere. I picked Beef Braised Pasta, Spaghetti with meat sauce, and pesto penne. All three were fantastic. The whole thing was about $25, which was definitely worth it for the quantity that you get. The decoration in the restaurant, they made it so it feels like you're sitting in an Italian patio, which was cool. Food alone and service were definitely 5 stars for the price. Took one star off just cuz there were flies that constantly bothered us... Note: restaurant is located in a small strip mall, easy to miss. read more

So we were looking for a lunch place after the NAMI walk at Angel stadium. Hungry and ready to eat. Found it on Yelp. The name doesn't give it Justice. But didn't ask the reason for the name. They have pizza of course. They have sandwiches also. And you can build your own style on both. But it doesn't end there. They have entrees. I had the lasagna classica. The lasagna classica name should be changed. The sauce was really good. But to me it wasn't the sauce I'm used to. But I did lick the plate clean. The lasagna was very rich and creamy. Now I gave them a 3 star part because they don't have a non soda on the fountain drinks dispenser. And the sauce. But like I said the sauce is beer plate lickable. So I leave it up to you to make your own choice. read more

Pasta Party - Bread and butter - Pizza Near Me - Orange, California

A cozy stop with the family on an Early Saturday. Probably a place I would have never found if it wasn't for yelp but worth the drive. You ordered when you walk in the door kind of like Sizler and sit down and wait for the food.. for first timers I felt a bit pressured to order so study the menu before coming... Once we spotted a table we sat down our starters began coming out and later our meals. Probably would have been nicer to check out the menu longer but oh well... The server was nice and the food was good!!! If your a local you would have a good to meal and no real need to worry about the menu. If your passing through and are hungry give the a try. read more

YUM! LOCATION/PARKING - they have plenty spots. Located at the corner of a busy intersection, you may miss it if you are going fast. But no problem otherwise. I could see parking being limited if at a busy weekend dinner time. FOOD - I was realllyyyy craving short rib pasta and this place definitely did not disappoint! So delicious and so good. I would say that the garlic bread that was given with it wasn't that great. If was better quality, it would make it soo much better. But for the pasta, no complaints! SERVICE - The guys working were very friendly, helpful, and great. Because the kitchen is at the front, you can see them working on your order. They worked well together and you can tell they like their jobs. Wait wasn't too quick, which is totally okay knowing I was waiting for something fresh. AMBIANCE - I came in at off hours, so they had plenty dine-in seating and tables. I love the decor and the ambiance of it all. Will be coming again when I want a good pasta-fix! Thank you for the experience read more

Is this restaurant really a pasta party? I first tried to answer this question in my review of about five years ago. Then, I returned repeatedly to verify that five star review was deserved. Then, I kept returning, vigilant in my service to that five-star review. I kept devouring their eggplant parm and their short rib parpadelle pasta and endless servings of spagetti because I am dedicated to the cause! lol. No, seriously, this place is amazing. It's our local Italian joint and my family absolutely loves it. I'm typing this at about 8am and I'm Johnsing for that parpadelle pasta right now, it's that good. Go have yourself a pasta party with Pasta Party! read more

Got the food to go. The Pizza is standard, nothing that goes above and beyond. Wish it had more flavor. The sauce was bland. The Beef Braised Pasta was also lacking flavor. It mainly tastes of grease from the beef and the noodles don't taste like fresh pasta. It was inedible, for me. read more

This might be our new favorite Italian spot! We've driven past it countless times but finally decided to give it a try last night. The restaurant is located next to a liquor store and shares a parking lot. The ordering process is simple--you order at the counter, then sit down, and they bring the food right to you. The menu includes a make-your-own pasta option where you choose your pasta, sauce, and protein, as well as signature pastas, sandwiches, pizzas, and salads. Here's what we tried: - Caesar Salad: The perfect size for two. We loved the anchovy vinegar dressing. - Make Your Own Pasta (Penne with Arrabbiata Sauce): The sauce had a nice kick, but it was a bit too salty for my taste. - Beef Braised Pasta: This one was the highlight! Tender braised short rib, mushrooms, and Parmigiano over fresh pasta--it was absolutely delicious and something we'd definitely order again. The pasta was fresh and perfectly cooked to al dente, coming out piping hot, just the way we love it. It reminded us of the authentic pasta we had in Italy. read more

Tonight was one of the worst experiences we have ever had at a restaurant. The waitress looked extremely flustered when we entered and it took us about 20 minutes to even order. When the food came out, we only got the pasta that we ordered, not the salad or garlic bread. Within a few minutes, the waitress / cash register (Yesenia) left the restaurant without anyone to help the cook or customers and was gone for over an hour. We never got the rest of our food. Would not recommend this place as service was poor and if I could give zero stars, i absolutely would. read more

I got the short rib pappardelle, surprised it tasted like average short rib pappardelle. I'll definitely go again

This has been by far the worst experience I've ever had! So it begins... We first get there Me & my family of 5, once there it took the cashier about 16min or more to get our order we then proceeded to pay for our food & drinks. Everything seemed to be going well until the time had exceeded to 50min, I understand it gets busy or short staffed or whatever it is, I'm okay with but then after the loooooong 50min wait the same cashier who took our order had came to our table to just to notified us that they had run out of items that from basically what most of our orders needed (heavy whipping cream) but only 5min before the party next to us had just received there Alfredo clearly !!! So if you want to waste over (an hour) of your time here around dinner time be my guest. Never again & I won't recommend this place to anyone. read more
