I gave them a try despite the reviews, and honestly, I was disappointed. The pasta noodles were undercooked, lacking flavor, and the breadsticks were bland--definitely not what I expected. The atmosphere also was not very welcoming. On the bright side, the staff was kind, which I appreciated. And while $20 for everything I got might seem like a good deal, the quality just didn't match the price. It felt like a waste, even at that cost. Sadly, I won't be coming back anytime soon. -the drink cups are pretty big though!- read more

PastaMasta - Chicken Cajun fettuccine Alfredo with sausage. Side Caesar Salad. 2 Breadsticks - Pasta Shops Near Me - Grand Prairie, Texas

Have been going to Pasta Masta in all three of its locations and so glad they are in Grand Prairie now! The prices are amazing ($8 for a fully loaded bowl of gluten free spaghetti) especially considering the gluten free options without a huge upcharge! They even have a gluten free Alfredo sauce option which tastes amazing! I usually buy a few servings and they store well in the fridge and are served in reheat-able containers for easy meal prep in future days! Staff is always friendly though I usually get 3rd party delivery for convenience. read more

First and last experience for me. I requested Chicken and Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo with green and red peppers, basil, and green onions. Issue: No Chicken was added to my order Purple onions were added (Didn't request this) Hardly any Alfredo sauce Taste: Food is mediocre and seasoning could be better. read more

I love the ability to customize exactly how I want it and the gluten-free option is very appreciated. I haven't tried the tofu yet, but I love that it's an option and will give that a go next time. The food was great, huge portions and delivery was quick. The only problem was I wanted to order additional toppings that would have cost me more, but the online ordering system wouldn't let me. read more

This company has a great concept of a build your own pasta bowls, the restaurant itself for the most part was clean but it was extremely hot in there, they also had random kitchen equipment placed in the dining area, but this food was absolutely horrible, it had absolutely no flavor, it was just bland, mushy , slop, && the veggies are extremely undercooked , and the staff was not so helpful either, it was my first time here and I asked a simple question("are the meatballs homemade"") and they acted as if was bothering them, one gentleman man walked off to the back and looked at me in disgust && the older gentleman told me ""you chefs think that your god gift to food"" && he proceeds to walk off...! I currently own my own restaurant &&I do private catering && I will make sure to let folks know to avoid this place read more

Great little place for a quick k meal. You order from a kiosk, something I've never done. First you select what type of pasta you want, there's a large variety of pasta you can choose from, from there you go to your next selection the type of sauce you want, there's so many types is sauces. It's very unique concept, then you go into adding sides, sautéed mushroom's, olives, artichoke hearts. There's a very large selection to choose from there. Then it'll ask you if you want fresh grated cheese on your selection. You pay at the kiosk. You take a seat, there was no one seat you so you picked your spot and seated yourself. I'd never seen something like this. By no means is it considered fine dining but the pasta and sauce I chose was very good. Cool little concept. The ambience was up beat and very relaxed. Can't under stand why there wasn't more people in there as the food was very good. Molto Bene! As they say in Italian. The pricing was very affordable. I would considered this a quick way to dine out or in as they do ask you if this to go or to eat in. If you haven't tried this cute little spot in North Arlington Texas I would highly consider trying it out. read more

PastaMasta - This was my selection of pasta. Penne pasta w/Sauce, artichokes and sautéed Mushrooms! Yum! Menu is online. - Pasta Shops Near Me - Grand Prairie, Texas

I did not enjoy the atmosphere. It was pretty empty, not very nice. You eat on stir foam plates and plastic utensils. And there was nothing to write home about about the pasta. read more

Gross. Literally disgusting. Pasta tasted old n just terrible. Nobody was in there when I came to pick up my food. That should have been a red flag. read more

We had lunch catered for a group of around 20. It was great for everyone to be able to customize their own pasta. Came in great packaging and great portions, especially for the price. Would recommend! read more

Food is ok. I like make your own pasta meals which is fine. You place your order from a kiosk. Which is great until it's time to pay. Then you sit there and you fuss with the cc machine and nothing happens. You go to the counter to let them know that the machine isn't working, and the girl goes. Oh yeah that's not working. You have to pay here. Why don't they have a sign indicating that? She sat there and watched me slide my card several times before getting frustrated and going to her. Potions are big. I was glad about that. Salad wasn't that great. I should have skipped the salad. The restaurant itself looks like the backroom of a restaurant. Not sure if they were going to renovations or something, but all of their supplies were in the front door stacked up. Everything was kind of dirty. The seats are all cracked. Tables are dirty and crooked. They don't sit right. It's just all very blah and doesn't even feel like a restaurant. It just feels like the back room of a restaurant where you're not really welcome to be there. Highly recommend just getting takeout if you're going to get food from here. The restaurant experience is not desirable read more

First time here and it was worth it. Great price and you get a lot of pasta! I like how you can customize your bowl with whatever toppings and pasta you want. Will be coming back again read more

PastaMasta - a plate of pasta with tomatoes and onions - Pasta Shops Near Me - Grand Prairie, Texas

I ordered delivery from PastaMasta recently and was like, why haven't I done this before? It's like the Chipotle of pasta. A fast-casual, build your own meal kinda deal. You simply choose your type of pasta, choose your sauce, select all the veggies and meats you want, any extra cheese, herbs, toppings, etc. You could really go crazy! They also have salad and a couple desserts. I went with gluten free spaghetti, gluten free Alfredo sauce, sauteed mushrooms, roasted garlic, and cherry tomatoes. Then I added shaved parmesan, red pepper flakes, basil, and melted butter (hahaha like I needed more fat in this dish). You get A LOT of pasta, people. I think it's easily enough for 3 meals. Definitely 2. It comes well packaged and mine was still nice and hot even after a 10 minute drive and sitting on my porch for 10 minutes. I love build your own concepts because I can put my perfect plate together. And I was so happy to see gluten free noodles and designated gluten free sauces. read more

On a positive note, the food (fettuccine, Cajun Alfredo, & Andouille sausage) was packaged nicely and made it home without leaking. Miniature breadsticks were cold, dry, and stale. I am taking partial blame for not turning around and leaving when I walked through the door. Front area in total disarray. In addition to the smell of days old dirty mop water, floor, tables, drink station, windows, etc...ALL looked as if they were coated in that dirty mop water. Behind counter was also in disarray with things stacked everywhere including on top of appliances. Not at all sure where they heated and prepared my "food". Fettuccine was gummy, Cajun Alfredo was pinkish, but had no Cajun flavor whatsoever, and Andouille chewed as if had been in a pressure-cooker or boiled beyond having flavor. I could keep going, but anything else would feel like piling on. read more

I tried this place for the first time yesterday and I can't believe it took me so long! It's basically a pasta bar but they make the pasta for you behind the scenes in their kitchen. You order from a touchscreen and choose from several different types of pasta including angel hair, macaroni, bow tie, rotini, etc. They have several different sauces including alfredo, marinara, or cheese among others. Then you can also add veggies and meat to your pasta including sausage or meatballs, mushrooms, spinach, etc. You get the picture, things that would taste good in pasta. I got a bowtie pasta with alfredo sauce with sundried tomatoes, spinach, broccoli, mushrooms, sausage, Parmesan, and a sprinkle of parsley on top. It took about 10 minutes to get my order and it was super hot and fresh! The veggies were cooked to my liking, not too crisp or mushy. Every bite had something delicious to look forward to. I think the sauce was missing a little something but next time I will try a tomato based sauce. The portion was very large and should probably serve 2. It was only $14. I think that's more than reasonable for a freshly made and custom built dish as I easily spend $14 on chicken strip meals regularly. I really like that you just choose your ingredients from the touchscreen instead of going to the counter and looking at everything and telling the cooks what you want. In fact they have their ingredients behind a steel shield so that's really nice for germ control. I hope this place stays around. Can't wait to go back! read more

Never been here and decided why not. The menu was a lil overwhelming so I chose something simple, bow tie pasta with meat sauce mushrooms and pepper flakes. It was sooooo good! I will definitely come back and it was only 6 dollars and received a large portion. read more

Ordered the spaghetti and meatballs and an order of breadsticks. The tomato sauce was very thick and vinegary. I bit into 1/4" pieces of garlic that tasted raw and big chunks of tomato. The meatballs were okay and regular sized, but tasted like frozen meatballs. The only thing I did like about this order were that the noodles were perfectly al dente. The breadsticks were soft but there was no taste. Couldn't taste salt, butter, garlic, onion, nothing with these breadsticks. I wouldn't recommend this dish. I've never ordered from here and i don't know what the rest for their dishes taste like, so I might give them another shot at a later date. This dish was a bust, sorry guys! read more

A tad bit expensive for a To-Go Pasta place, but the food was good. Like, really good. Service was fast, & the ambiance was just...your normal average experience as far as drive-thru places or to-go anything. Nice & clean though -- close to the other dining & beverage options in this area of the City as well. read more

Love the concept! If it's busy, there are tablets for you to place your order, or you can order at the counter. It's a build-your-own-pasta bar. You start of by choosing your pasta, then your sauce, any add-ins, toppings, and garnishes. There are plenty of choices in all categories, some of the pastas and sauces I hadn't even heard of. You can get by really cheap or rack up a huge tab depending on what you add. I got the cheese tortellini in a spicy Cajun sauce, and it was pretty spicy! A lot more than I thought it would be, but in a good way. They cook the pasta when you order it, so it hasn't been cooked and sitting for a long time. The tortellini were good. Next I added some Italian sausage, they slice it at an angle, so they're long. Finished it up with mushrooms and basil. Delicious! Got an order of breadsticks and marinara, it was as expected. Not like Olive Garden's, which can be overly salty. read more

PastaMasta - a close up of a bowl of food - Pasta Shops Near Me - Grand Prairie, Texas

7For the price, freshness, and portion size, it will be revisited. It's a build your own pasta set up. So prices really are determined on how wild are you going to go. I got 3 adult entrees and one child order all for $40. And at first I was like damn, then I see the cook actually sautéing my veggies and mixing in my sauces. I thought it was an assembly line deal but is not you are getting freshly cooked pasta. It smelled great while they were cooking but it tasted even better. If you like cheese ravioli, definitely try them here. Large, ricotta filled pillows that are very yummy. The meatballs are huge, and NOT dry. The Arribata sauce (s/p) sauce is not overly spicy, a good kick with great flavor. If you don't eat a lot you can get away with a kid size. With the friendly service and clean establishment I'm excited to go back and try another combination. read more

PastaMasta - Kid portion with meat sauce, green onions, and basil. My daughter loved it. - Pasta Shops Near Me - Grand Prairie, Texas

First time trying this pasta restaurant. We ordered 3 custom meals and the food showed up early and everything was there but we only got 2 small breadsticks with all of that food; that's the main reason for 3 stars and not 4. The food was fresh and decent. We would try them again. read more

Should have waited in line at Chipotle. I don't know how this place is still in business. Ordered takeout, 1st time there, thought it would be like Noodles & Co. Big mistake. For $10 I got box pasta with a couple pieces of microwaved frozen chicken (and yes you can taste it, yes it's chewy) and black olives - no where is the fresh basil, they subbed for a dash of dried basil- but the menu pictured fresh basil. If I had paid $5/$6, I would say I got what I paid for but $10 is too much for a school lunch. read more

PastaMasta - Too pricey for cheap pasta. - Pasta Shops Near Me - Grand Prairie, Texas

I am so disappointed with the service here. We called in advance to ask if they could take a large party of 20 and they said to come on over. The entire experience has made absolutely no sense. First of all, there are 8 kiosks for you to submit you order from. This makes NO SENSE as it prints out a receipt at the cash register for the cashier to punch in your order anyways. They also don't START your order until you pay which is super confusing. They got SEVERAL orders incorrect. For example, I ordered the penne with meat sauce, mushrooms, sausage, garlic, and basil with 2 breadsticks. I had to remind the waitress for my breadsticks and my pasta never came with the garlic. Additionally, others had to ask for their soda cup and side salads as they were not provided with it upon paying. Several people in our party waited 45 minutes for their food and got JIPPED on their sides. Ie- there was literally half a jalapeño in one order and one piece of spinach in another. They completely forgot about some of the add-ons like the veggies etc. the list goes on and on! They write your order number on top of the lid. What also made no sense is that they were serving others who were AFTER us and several people had to go up and ask for their food. We had #42 and they were serving #50. Besides, it's also WASTEFUL that we toss all the lids! They should find another way to number the order and save the plastic for people who are actually taking the order to go. Last but NOT least- the manager came over to ask for donations! I'm all for supporting causes but do it when we're paying, not when we're eating, and especially not when you're sucking at giving us our food. read more

Love it! Pasta my way. Be careful. I ordered from the machine and didn't know how to get past the first part without hitting "no sauce"... but I went back and figured it out. Almost got no sauce. read more

PastaMasta - two bowls of pasta with chicken and broccoli - Pasta Shops Near Me - Grand Prairie, Texas

I pass by this place every day going to school. I finally decided to come here for lunch one day before work. They have ipad kiosks for you to order/customize your pasta. Its like Chipotle for pasta and you get to pick every option that goes into it (they even have gluten free pasta!). I was the only person here so I got my order in and my food out fairly quickly. The overall pasta was good, the texture was maybe a tad overcooked, but I honestly don't know if that was because it was the type of pasta or not. I added in chicken as well so I could have some protein, which totalled out my pasta bowl to be around $10-11. The portion is also pretty decent. read more

Got a simple dish of angel hair pasta chicken Alfredo and breadsticks. Pasta was cooked fine. Alfredo had no taste AT ALL. So bland. Chicken was not great either. Breadsticks were hard and had a horrible taste as well. Ended up throwing it away and learning my lesson. I was really looking forward to this meal too. Big disappointment. read more

I was in Texas visiting some family and I needed something to eat. I found this spot and saw good ratings and I loved the concept of creating my own pasta bowl! Even better was the fact that they had a 20% off coupon if you ordered online... Well I tried to get that to work and it didn't but I placed my order to pick up anyways. I got there and the staff at front still honored my coupon even though it didn't work on through the yelp app which was fantastic. I ordered fettuccine with the Cajun Alfredo sauce, broccoli, shrimp, parnasean cheese, parsley, and red pepper flakes. It was so tasty and that Cajun sauce is LEGIT! The portion can easily be two meals. Great customer service, great taste, tons of options, and easy to order. read more

I saw this place when I was working and went on a Saturday night, you order at the screen and they make it for you. I got a pasta with crawfish and sausage with some red seasoning on top. It was $14 but there were way cheaper options. It was ready fast and it was a huge bowl. It tasted amazing and had lots of crawfish and sausage. This is one of my favorite places ever, I'll definitely go back. read more

From the very beginning, PastaMasta made a lasting impression. I was warmly greeted and given a rundown of how to order (on the tablets where you can customize your plate). After paying at the counter, I was promptly given my food (which was spectacularly made, the cajun alfredo sauce was just the right amount of spice). All in all, I not only had wonderful food, but also experienced exceptional hospitality. BTW, if you can count all the Captain America memorabilia in the store you get a prize! read more

Great food, fast & friendly service. My husband and I got so full that we have enough for another meal later. He got the spaghetti and meatballs combo, I chose to customize some spaghetti with both meat sauce AND meatballs plus parmesan and basil on top. The breadsticks were soft & tasty and the marinara sauce was soooo fresh tasting! My two gripes are that the sweet tea tasted sour like the container needed to be washed out (I poured it out and just got soda instead so no biggie) and that it was hot inside the dining room, but that's probably somewhat to do with the weather. All in all, we will go back sometime. read more

The anticipation of trying PastaMasta only made my first visit that much better! Not only is their customer service great but their pasta dishes are just as exquisite! The noodles are cooked perfectly al dente, the sauces, meats, and vegetables are full of flavor and depth. If you are someone who is very specific in what they like to order, you will not be disappointed! To round out an exceptional experience, the portions are great and pricing too! My 2 favorite dishes: Bow tie pasta, marinara, portobello mushrooms, carrots, and shaved Parmesan. Bow tie pasta, Alfredo, portobello mushrooms, bacon, peas, carrots, and shaved Parmesan. read more

I agree that the pasta is a bit pricey for what it is. But I do think you get a pretty big portion and it has always been really good in my personal opinion. The only thing I would change is the fact that the noodles are often over cooked. Workers are always extremely friendly and nice! Haven't had a bad experience here yet and this is my third time here (of many more). Small tips I can give: Don't get extra sauce, it costs extra and looks the same as the normal sauce. Plus you get quite a lot for "normal". Don't get the breadsticks, they're just freezer ones you can buy at Walmart. Always add garlic and parmesan - it completes the dish! read more

The ordering system here is pretty convenient. They have a couple tablets on one side of the room that you use to customize your pasta bowls and send in your order, and there's a worker by the register for you to pay for the meal. I like this because if you're a picky eater, you can see exactly what's added to your pasta and there's less chance of any miscommunication as to which ingredients and add-ins you want or don't want. Convenience aside, the actual food was pretty average. There's a nice selection of pasta types and sauces, but if you're used to eating your pasta loaded with many meats and veggies, you'll be paying extra for each ingredient here. Unless you're looking for just pasta and sauce, I'd suggest finding another place for a full meal. read more
