I do like this place a lot. The food portions are really good and I like that you don't have to wait that long for food. One time I got a BYO bowl and I added shrimp and my shrimp was very undercooked and gray. The food was to go so I didn't notice it til I got home and I ended up having to cook it myself. I haven't gotten shrimp since. Their meatballs are really good! read more

I was genuinely surprised with how deeply disappointing this food was. I am a sucker for Italian and it does not need to be top-shelf for me to dig in, but this was almost inedible. We got this via DoorDash, but I don't think the to go nature of our experience had any meaningful impact on our experience. I got the spaghetti bolognese and the sauce was flavorless and the pasta was mush. There are so many better options especially because this wasn't exactly cheap. read more

Pasta Project is a fast casual restaurant serving freshly made pasta, salads, and more. It's located in a new strip center just down Scuffletown road, about a quarter mile off Woodruff in the Five Forks area. Pasta Project primarily serves pasta. The menu features several house signature dishes and a "Create Your Own" option. I opted for the CYO dish. Here, you choose your pasta, sauce, protein, and additions like dried tomatoes, capers, mushrooms, olives, etc. The helpings are plentiful. Unless you are very hungry, you will have enough to share a dish or take some home.The $2.99 side salads are well worth the price. The Owner and employees are very accommodating, the look is fresh and the food is great. Nice casual vibe. Place Pasta Project on your list. read more

Pasta Project - Rigatoni with sausage - Salad Near Me - Simpsonville, South Carolina

See all

I ordered the rigatoni vodka with meatballs and a half of garlic bread to go for the first time visiting. The space was clean, modern with decor, and quick service. My to-go order was piping hot when I got home and the pasta was delicious. The bread was flavorful, but I wanted a crispier bottom initially, but it soaked up the sauce perfectly. Portions of half of the garlic bread was 4 pieces and the portion of the pasta was enough to have a serving at dinner with the remainder for lunch the next day. I'm a big reheat gal, and it was better than the next day. Thankfully, the bread was perfectly cooked, because it was amazing to have. read more

WOW. Best. Pasta. Ever. I got the chicken alfredo, and it is so fresh and so delicious. It's a little pricey, however the pasta bowls have enough for leftovers, so I'd say it's very worth it. I also had a caprese salad, and it was refreshing and well seasoned. The service was friendly and quick. I can't wait to eat here again!!! read more

Pasta Project - Chicken Penne Alfredo - Salad Near Me - Simpsonville, South Carolina

Was always hesitant of trying Pasta Project; but we wanted to give it a chance. We walked in with the intention of just trying a few things we normally wouldn't make at home. So we ordered the Chicken Carbonara which was a little on the oily side (prob just needed to drain the bacon a bit more) but the chicken was well seasoned and delicious. We also ordered the Chicken Rigatoni Ala Vodka. This was perfect. The vodka sauce was creamy and a perfect amount. The chicken again delicious. There's something about their chicken that's just simple and delicious. We also ordered some extra breadsticks and alfredo for dipping (so we could try it out). If your up for trying a third sauce this is a good trick; and well worth it as it's a solid alfredo. Not too heavy and not overly cheese flavored. They had two drinks that I highly recommend - the Hibiscus Lemon Refresher which is my new favorite drink and the Lemon Cayenne Reset (my wife liked this one; it wasn't for me). I'm leaving this at a strong 4 stars and it's only because of two things: 1. The Carbonara was a little oily - and again i think it was just a product of the bacon not being drained enough 2. The wait. We didn't mind the wait - but they definitely were getting slammed and if you're in a rush - you may get upset. They make these pasta dishes to order and they're fresh and hot - so be patient. We'll definitely be coming back with the kids to try some more off the menu and create some dishes ourselves as well! read more

Tough to score since they didnt get the order correct. 3 stars since it doesnt look bad...and trying to give some benefit of the doubt and be nice. Would need to return to see if the food is good or not when you get the item you order. I would give a 1 star for my meal since it was pretty much void of flavor and not at all what was ordered. (No customizations made on order, ordered from menu with no changes requested so not a complicated or custom situation). read more

Pasta Project - Spaghetti and Meatballs - Salad Near Me - Simpsonville, South Carolina

Fresh food, great staff, and great prices! You won't regret coming here to eat. Excellent!!!!!

Pasta is tasty, but expensive for the experience. This is a counter order, fast casual restaurant (eg Chipotle). Not worth the cost IMHO

This place was amazing, staff were great, spoke to us and even double checked what we were looking for in our pasta. Made it just like we wanted. Super chill and clean inside. Definitely going back! read more

No pictures this time but don't let that deter you! Pasta is FRESH and made to cook as ordered. We really liked the "create your own bowl" and the choices available. Plenty of pastas, sauces, topping, and protein options. Personally, Alfredo knocked it out the park for me! Portions are quite large too. The team was extremely friendly and the owner made it a point to greet every customer as they and wish them a good night as they exited. Plenty of seating available and didn't feel cramped. While I've noticed the place on quite a few FB groups and knew it was a crazy couple weeks after opening, we gave it some time. Arrived around 730-8pm and plenty of seating available and no long line or long wait for food. Can't wait to see other branches pop up a little closer to us read more

Pasta Project - Indoor - Salad Near Me - Simpsonville, South Carolina

This is a new concept, an offshoot of the Tropical Grille Empire, owned by the same restaurateur. All pasta dishes are cooked fresh to order, and they make their own pasta inside the restaurant, ensuring freshness. I ordered spaghetti with marinara and three toppings: fresh basil, onions, and Parmesan cheese. The bowl was large and generously portioned. If I had feedback about my dish, it would probably be a smart idea to include a piece of garlic bread since it's always popular with pasta dishes. Maybe something they could consider down the road--they do offer garlic bread as a side item. The interior decor is lovely and casual, with plenty of healthy options, including salads and desserts. Service is quick and efficient, making it an attractive stop in the Five Forks area. Expect to spend somewhere between $10-20 per person, maybe a little higher if you include dessert and salad options. A great addition to the Five Forks area. Yelp Elite approved! read more

Food was great and at a fair price. We had the shrimp Alfredo and caprese cup. One order is enough for two people. We had our order delivered to the hotel and everything prepared as it should be and fast. read more

This is hands down the best pasta / Italian restaurant, the inside and out is extremely clean and has a beautiful open atmosphere, perfect service. If you are looking for something flavorful and amazing literally any menu item is awesome and filling! I have been here dozens of times and have never been disappointed. 10/10 recommend. read more

Excellent food! The portion sizes are good, and the spaghetti sauce is good as well. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Good pasta! Very hot. My wife got the spaghetti with marinara. It was very good. I got the penne with Italian sausage. Being from up north, I assumed it would be chunky pieces of the sausage link. It was very firm finely sausage sliced paper thin. It was different, but good. Each bowl came with a very small slice of garlic bread. The staff was nice, the place very clean. We were there on a Saturday for lunch and two other tables were taken. We'll be back (hoping they'll rethink the Scooby-snack-sized taste of garlic bread. read more

Very very nice place and great service but the pasta just wasn't that great in my opinion, it didn't come out very out and it was a little stale, covered in a pool of butter and parmesan and kind of just tasted reheated in a microwave? Was hoping for something more fresh. read more

Stopped in to give it a try for lunch and was very impressed! Clean and modern atmosphere. The service was great--very friendly staff and quick turnaround after ordering. We ordered the spaghetti bolognese and built our own bowl (rigatoni with vodka sauce, chicken, roasted peppers, and spinach). Both bowls are lunch size portions and were very filling. The pasta was cooked al dente which was perfect and the sauce, add-ins, and protein were all flavorful. Definitely worth stopping in to give it a try, highly recommend! read more

Pasta Project - Spaghetti Bolognese ( Lunch ) and Create your own pasta ( Lunch ) - Salad Near Me - Simpsonville, South Carolina

First time trying this place. We walked in looked at the menu then walked back out. Then decided let's just try it because they have a lot of good reviews. I had the spaghetti bolognese with meatballs. My husband had chicken rigatoni ala vodka. My spaghetti was just ok. I was expecting fresh pasta. The pasta tasted like it was made from a box. I know it is fresh because you can see them making it. But I do not believe they are using a good flower for their pasta. It was not al dente. The food was just served in a plastic bowl. It is a just a plain Jane pasta place. I have had better at Capris Italian, and that is saying a lot. If your name consists pasta it should master it. The seating was just generic but the food is the showcase. There is no service you go to the counter and order and pick up. read more

Really good fresh food. It is a little difficult getting into the driveway if you are driving on Scuffletown towards Woodruff. Clean place. You order at the counter, but be prepared to wait as the person taking the order at the cash register is very slow. She is nice. read more

I ordered from Door Dash and had never heard of Pasta Project. The food was delicious and HOT even though it was delivered. The service was quick! Less than 20 minutes from placing my order until it arrived. I will try dine in next time to see how it is....although I can't imagine the food being any better! read more

This was my second visit. The first was near their grand opening and the I received my food an hour late, but the food was delicious and, hey, they were still working out the kinks. Corporate hasn't done local franchisees any favors with their websites. They use different names for identical items in their menu and in the online ordering pages. My wife couldn't complete our order online as the site would t let her complete the order. She called the Scuffletown location (I double checked the number on their Facebook page, though this number differs from the website). I showed up to pick up our order and pay for it and they had no knowledge of the order. Great food, but two strikes on food delivery is enough for me too look elsewhere. read more

This is a great place. This was my first time there. I was worried they wouldn't give enough sauce bc I like a lot. But they put so much sauce in there! It was very good and you get a lot! I ate off mine for about 3 meals. Definitely worth the money. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere was nice as well as very clean! There are lots of options for salads or pasta. They have some pastas already listed but I recommend the build your own. You pick your noodles, sauce, protein and 3 toppings. You can add more toppings for .50 cents each. We will be back! Price was about $14 per pasta and salads I believe. read more

Pasta Project - Build your own pasta. I got penne noodles, pink sauce (Alfredo and marinara mixed) chicken, spinach, roasted peppers and onions. - Salad Near Me - Simpsonville, South Carolina

I've wanted to try Pasta Project for a while and it was underwhelming. It was clean with a small menu so I ordered spaghetti and meatballs with marinara sauce. It was canned sauce, not scratch made which it should have been for a $15.00 lunch. Spaghetti was overdone and chewy served with a tiny (2"x2") piece of garlic bread. I don't plan on eating there again. read more

Used to be sooo good now Overcooked and different. I don't know what else to say, plus ypu can't even order it without meat and now i know why the meat is better than the pasta read more

I ordered a pesto bowl and it was completely swimming in oil. I don't mean, they accidentally added too much... there had to be a half cup of oil in my dish (or more) and it was separating from the actual sauce. I tried to eat a few pieces and ultimately I couldn't stomach it. I should have taken a picture. I did say something and swapped it out for spaghetti and meatballs, but even this dish was very watery and the meatballs themselves are tasted prepackaged and not fresh. The bread was stale, probably from yesterday. My stomach has been a bit queezy since I ate there. The food was a bit bland for me, too. Not going back. read more

First time here, the food and service were excellent, I had the Chicken Rigatoni Ala Vodka, portion size was good and had a generous portion of chicken. I will be back. read more

My husband has driven by this location multiple times when leaving the sports club. We finally took a minute to give it a try. The staff was very kind and patient as we tried to figure out what we wanted. My daughter went with the kids spaghetti and meatballs. My husband ordered the spaghetti bolognese with sausage added. I ordered fettuccini Alfredo with sausage. We each got a hibiscus drink and a full order of garlic bread. We sat at the counter and enjoyed watching the chefs at work. The food was prepared quickly and was delicious! We'll be back soon. read more

probably worst place i've been to. i've had problems before but they were always resolved. There's a new manager? and i was directed to speak to him about the mess up of my pasta but he was absolutely NO help. he simply told me how it's made is how it's done. my pasta was SO DRY. and i had mold in my dessert. thankfully they replaced my dessert but wouldn't give me my refund back for my pasta? they told me they aren't allowed to do that. read more

Online lunch order for two, delayed ready by 25 minutes. BTW....online ordering was an absolute joke. When picked up not a person in the place and the one person working did not even acknowledge me. Finally saw a bag on counter with my name. The food was not hot and missing ingredients and tasted old, the chicken and the pasta both tasted terrible. I would not recommend this place at all. read more

Pasta was good but the Alfredo was overwhelmed by garlic. The chicken was touch and lacked seasoning. Went at 6pm and no one was in the store. I wasn't greeted by any employee upon entering as the staff was more involved in a private conversation. Not a welcoming location. Pasta salad was decent. The overall layout seemed welcoming. The garlic bread was horrible. It's more of a roll with garlic topping than a traditional Italian garlic bread which is toasted. read more

Amazing! Fresh, delicious ingredients. Quick service. Friendly staff. Plan to come back everytime I travel to the area for work.

Fast food pasta. If you are on a tight schedule and looking for a quick pasta lunch this is your place! read more

Fantastic!! Clean, enjoyable setting. Food was prepared excellently and above expectations. Service was nice. I ordered create your own pasta: penne, Alfredo, chicken, tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, and broccoli. It exceeded expectations. I was afraid the chicken would be some pre-cooked stuff that they warm up. No. It looked freshly grilled and seasoned wonderfully. The broccoli had some nice seasoning and was roasted. Lots of sauce and a good portion. Really good. I'm sure I'll be back! read more

In one sense fast food pasta takeaway seems like a clever idea but Pasta Project isn't very good and certainly not worth the money. Nothing but kids behind the counter and they seemed a bit all over the place with customer service - from order taking to food preparation and actually delivering your order in its entirety when the food is ready- our experience was a mess! We ordered a kid's spaghetti/meatballs, a fettuccine alfredo with chicken and broccoli, a chicken carbonara and a side of breadsticks. Food came out in containers so small it was hard to eat out of them (we dined in for this visit) - plates would be much more conducive for dine in customers. The breadsticks were not ready when our food was called and I had to personally go up several times to inquire about them (they kept forgetting to bring them out when they baked a fresh batch and customers would keep coming in to place orders so guess who got the "fresh" breadsticks in their orders as they left?) - anyways, we finally got our breadstick order but by then we were not hungry for them and had halfway picked through our meal so we just wrapped them up to go. They were not good breadsticks and ended up going to the dogs. The alfredo was underwhelming (you would do better with a store bought sauce in all honesty) and I don't even think there were more than 5 small strips of chicken in the dish. The broccoli was just tiny little flecks not even a whole floret. It was quite literally one of the worst restaurants I have been to. I was not expecting fine dining but this place is a joke even for "fast food". Don't waste your money because it simply isn't good tasting food. Spaghetti was blah, meatball mediocre. Nothing positive to say about the carbonara. Try if you want but don't say you were not warned. I would give zero stars if I could. read more
