Service is good. The place is adorably decorated. Food was a HUGE, generic disappointment. Pesto was cram based, the Alfredo was good but the chicken in both was rubber. The BBQ Bao bun..s inedible! I feel like they had some Good items but we didn't order those. Say disappointing and the Yelp reviews lied. 3/10 Save your money and go somewhere worthwhile read more

The Boscaiola was amazing. I have never heard of it or tried it but decided to order. I did add a few extra things: extra sauce, mushrooms, and roasted red peppers. It was delicious! I also ordered the Carbonara which is my favorite pasta of all time. I added chicken, extra sauce, mushrooms, roasted red peppers and a poached eggs. I think the chicken was good but w/o it would have been fine- I think the chicken was little much but if you like meaty get it! The Lychee Rose Tea is something I've never tried! However I'm a fan of it all! This tea was refreshing and delicious. The lychee really makes a statement and makes the tea so fruity. It's great. I haven't dipped in the Thai Tea Latte yet but it smelt amazing! I'll update this review tomorrow post consumption. Overall, PASTARiCO?! Yes, 5 STARS! read more

Hard rubbery meatballs? An egg cracked on top of pasta? Crap! I will never order from this place again...

We've tried Pastarico a couple of times since moving to the area. Last time we ordered Boscaiola and Bolognese with garlic bread for delivery. It's honestly just ok for the price. Garlic bread was a sad portion and the dishes had way too much bacon that overpowered the other flavors. My delivery driver ended up waiting a long time for the food and I asked him if they could add on a drink for the hassle and they still charged me $5 for a drink. Maybe in person is a better experience but I'll probably try other Italian places in the area first. read more

My husband and I stopped here and were immediately greeted by the staff. The menu is huge, there are so many options, from Italian-American to Vietnamese, from food options (savory and sweet) to drinks, like boba and slushies. We ordered at the counter and then sat down at one of the tables. We ordered garlic bread, arancini mushroom, linguine vongole and mix berries crepes cake. The garlic bread came in two pieces. In my opinion it was perfectly toasted and crispy. The garlic butter was not too strong, which I really appreciated. I give this an 8 out of 10. The arancini mushroom were three pieces. They are made of risotto, cheese and truffled mushrooms, then breaded and fried. Served with a truffled mushroom sauce and shredded cheese on top. I personally loved these. I'm normally not a huge fan of truffle, but these were perfect! There wasn't too much truffle oil, so the flavor complemented perfectly the other flavors of the rice and cheese. The sauce was definitely plenty, to the point that I spread some on the garlic bread and it was phenomenal! And they were fried to perfection, they had an amazing crunch to it. I give this a solid 9 out of 10 The Linguine Vongole were personally not my favorite. I found them a little too salty, in my opinion. The spicy level was okay, just like it's done in Italy. The sauce was maybe a little too runny, so not much of it was sticking to the pasta. It came with a side of bread, so it kinda helped picking it up.. I just picture something different when I think of Spaghetti alle Vongole, but considering the location and how vast the menu is, I think it's fair. I give this a 5 out of 10. For dessert we had the mix berries crepe cake. I was interested by it since I've seen it on social media before. I was actually interested in the Mango one, since I wanted something more refreshing, but it wasn't available so we got the Mix Berries one. The crepes and the white cream are very plain, so I'm glad they drizzled some berries sauce on the plate and added some fresh fruit as well. The fruit is really good, especially the strawberries that are sweet to the right point. Overall the dessert is not too sweet, which is nice. I give this a 7 out of 10. Pastarico looks like one of those hidden gems places that you stumble upon. They have so many options that can satisfy different tastes and I believe it's worth giving it a try! read more

We started with a snaufu that was quickly remedied. The delivery arrived hot and smelling delightful. Spaghetti was cooked perfectly, al dente all day. The tomatoes in the sauce held onto that summer sweetness. The Parmesan had the perfect meatiness and sharp bite I look for. The garlic bread oozed sweet butter, and savory garlic embedded into the toasted goodness. This was a plus all around. Thanks I really enjoyed my dinner at work read more

Unscrupulous owners that refuse to stand by their product. Tied in with Narunya's who couldn't are less about the product they put out. And instead of listening to constructive criticism they smart off and hang up on you. Beware read more

The pasta looks so good but that's it. The pasta is all cooked perfectly but the flavors are just not there, also the pasta is swimming in the sauce. The service was good. However, I don't think I'll order food ever again from this place. The toast and tea restaurant attached to this place was amazing 5 stars easy. We all loved our tea and the steam buns (another restaurant attached to this place) where amazing I really like the BBQ pork and the curry one. As for the pasta place I would keep working on the taste not just the presentation. The presentation of the food is why I gave two stars. Also on a side note the clams were still Sandy. I hope they do a better job for future customers. read more

Air conditioning is almost non existent. The restaurant has indoor seating but the atmosphere is not a "date" atmosphere. All that being said, We got the fungi bread and it was delicious, we also got the fungi pink sauce for the angel hair spaghetti and it was also excellent. The food was excellent. This place is recommended. read more

Ordered 4 entrees last night for pick up. Everything was delicious, hot and packaged well. We were pleasantly surprised by the pasta options for each dish. Our adult-kid went to pick up and mentioned it was 'hard to find' but eh, I'm sure it's fine. Kind of pricy, but worth it in quality. Everyone was friendly and professional. read more

Pastarico - Pasta with complementary toasted bread. - Italian Near Me - Belton, Texas

Shared area with Toast and Tea. Entrance is in alley. Food is excellent. We had Pollo Olio and the Pollo Avocado. Both had great flavor. I like getting to choose a spice level on some of the dishes. Garlic bread tasty as well. It is counter service but the person that helped us and brought food was friendly. Highly recommend. read more

Chewy garlic bread, chewy calamari, fish was bad in general, the "marinara" pasta was watery and not very strong flavor, couldnt taste the basil. I can see why they skimp on the fish portions, even for 24 dollars, they don't know how to cook pasta. I dont think i would have eaten it if i wasnt drinking. This was the cherry on top for me with eating out in centex other than asian restaurants who actually seem to care. Obviously leave stars so your review actually gets read and will change later down the line, and im done trusting reviews anyway. read more

Pastarico - "marinara" pasta - Italian Near Me - Belton, Texas

Hole in the wall pasta place in a boba dessert place. Pasta is top grade restaurant quality in my opinion. A little pricey but worth it. Chef is super friendly. I tried the monarola, garlic bread and the mushroom arancini. I would have shown a picture but I gobbled it up too fast. :) read more

We were unsure if the menu at first. The chef came out to answer questions and make suggestions. We were not disappointed. The pollo avocado was amazing and the garlic shrimp in wine sauce was filling with a side of your choice of pasta. The garlic bread was also on point. Bravo to the chef! read more

So disappointing. They appeared to have air conditioning but a large fan was running and still it was very warm. There was a large hole in the ceiling that may have contributed to the temp. Place looked old and dated. I was there with a party of 5. Food came out one plate at a time. By the time I received my order, everyone else in my party had finished. The best part of my meal was my canned soda. read more

The outside of this restaurant would never clue you into what delicious food they have here. We shared an appetizer of bread with mushrooms. It was excellent. We got the carbonara with penne and it was outstanding. I'd recommend this place hands down. We'll worth the adventure finding it!! read more

Excellent Italian good. Tried this small restuarant on a whim. Glad I did. It's my go to for lunch when I'm hungry . Family owned as well as their Boba Tea place next door .
