In years past, this was a five star place hands down. They made the bread and pasta. It made for a wait, but the food was divine and we used to come here often for family dinners with largish groups. It was byob at the time. Now they sell. The sauce is still decent but the pasta is not made by hand on site to my palate (honed by Italian aunts). The bread comes warm, but is not the same. It is still a nice place but if you have not been here in a while... It is not the same and it is not a change for the better sadly. Not a huge step down but a step down nonetheless. read more

I really thought I was going to like this place especially since they make homemade pasta. Oh man, the carbonara was not good at all. It had separated chunks in it which I could tell were egg meaning they used a full egg instead of just yolk. No flavor at all just straight oil. That was the first and last time for me unfortunately. read more

Best Italian food I ever had. I had the meat pasta dish and you can taste its homemade authenticity. Highly recommend read more

Que Pasta - This plate was delicious and filling. Highly, highly recommend. - Italian Near Me - Saddle Brook, New Jersey

Very disappointing to say the least. Ordered apps they were pretty good so i thought i may get a decent pasta dinner. My wife and I ordered two different pastas one having certain ingredients one having a different sauce and different ingredients.... The came to the table exactly the same? Questioned the waiter and he lied saying they were similar but the items were ground up you wouldnt be able to tell? Were arent monkeys we know whats the same and not honestly. Long story short after a total let down from the management who argued they finally admitted to giving us the same thing! Then said ill make up the difference and took off one drink! Last time for me. I would have understood without the lies and bs! Then to take off a drink instead of your kitchens screw up? Na thats just not right. Its was supposed to me a nice dinner not a terrible experience. read more

Ugh. Came for dinner on a Saturday night at 730, and there was hardly anyone there. Started with their sampler platter which contained over cooked calamari, frozen mozzarella sticks, and one eggplant rollatini. Forgettable. I ordered their "large" combo platter: lasagna, chicken Parmesan, and penne ala vodka. The ricotta cheese in the lasagna, was cold and coagulated and had an overdose of bland chopped meat. The chicken was rubbery and had an odd consistency. The only bright spot was the not so bad vodka sauce over the penne. We couldn't get out of there fast enough. read more

Everything was delicious- from the arancini balls to the gnocchi dish (asparagus, chicken, sundried tomatoes, etc). I will absolutely be returning read more

Been here twice so far this year and both times were very pleasant and nice. The food is great. The staff is very attentive and friendly. During one of the visits, there was a baby shower taking place in one of their rooms and I was surprised that the event there did not interfere with our service. That was a major plus. Parking is definitely a little tight but there is plenty of room to find parking in the surrounding area, so that wasn't a big deal. Was a little let down with the dessert we chose, it was just okay and kind of tasted right of the box (I knew I should've chosen something Italian as a dessert from an "Italian restaurant" duh! lol ) But nothing to the point that would offset what a great restaurant it is. Good for dates and family dinners. read more

Came here for a surprise 60th birthday party, the waitress was attentive, but she disappeared a few times, the corkscrew they gave us was defective but we made due. The food was hot even in Buffet form. It was a great way to have a small party without having the hassle of holding it at your house. It's BYO so we stocked up on Wines and beer and they had ample ice bins for us. The salads were scrumptious, one was served with their home made balsamic vinaigrette, I really liked the cheesyness of the baked ziti. Your standard Italianerican food done very well. read more

We've ordered take out and eaten at Que Pasta multiple times, and their food is always in the average-above average category. They get four stars though because the price is very reasonable and not overinflated like other Italian restaurants in Bergen County. They offer catering which is also at a very fair price. Staff is always polite. read more

Great local spot for an excellent meal without breaking your bank. I have always loved their vodka sauce, creamy tasty and simply delicious. It never ever fails! However today my fiancé ordered a skirt steak and for a local Italian restaurant it was amazing. Actually it far surpassed the tenderness and flavor of many steakhouses we have been to. read more

I had a party for my daughters bridal shower. I was disappointed in the service I received.First there definitely wasn't enough food for 38 people.. It was a buffet with beer wine soda and fresh bread which we never got the bread and tea and coffee. My party was from 1 to 5 and seem to be rushed to get done. Was charge full price for a three-year-old and two 8-year-old children. I payed cash for the party and my deposit and tax was not deducted from the bill. The waitress gave me a hard time when I questioned her about the bill. I also asked her for a receipt and she refused to give me one. The owner didn't even come over and resolve the problem. I would think twice about doing a party here. read more

I am giving three stars because i didn't really have a bad experience but i didn't have this over the top, wow i want to go back. Basically we went for a party, it was held in the back room. The establishment wasn't anything too fancy, just simple. The Service wasn't anything too amazing either, and lastly neither was the food. Since it was a party, I got a tasting of pretty much the basics. I'm Italian and i felt everything was flavorless except the chicken parm! The vodka sauce for the penne vodka was so bland. They even had bad bread! plain boring white bread. Cheesecake factory serves better bread!! I don't know how the prices are but it was just ok. read more

The waiter was very friendly. The food was delicious & filling. I purchased a Groupon for mothers day. read more

Que Pasta - Appetizers @ que pasta was filling & delicious - Italian Near Me - Saddle Brook, New Jersey

Best pasta I've had in the area. You could tell it was homemade! I heard the pizza is even better and the staff was so friendly and warm. Can't wait to come back. read more

We have dined here quite a few times and now have started ordering take out once in a while too. The restaurant is BYO which is nice. The food is good, the portions are a pretty good size and staff is friendly. It is a casual place and the prices are reasonable. We enjoy the take out as well. The food is consistant with dining at the restaurant. read more

I can't believe I have never written a review for this place. It's withing walking distance from my house. It's pretty standard Italian food, but IMO the real stand-outs are the risotto balls and the QP baked special. Can't order food here without getting the risotto balls as an appetizer! The pasta is fresh and the sauces are really tasty. Some of the chicken dishes can be a little dry, but over-cooked is better than under-cooked. The sandwiches, which are on the take-out menu, are really good too. Take-out is a really good option here BTW. Service is usually pretty good. They host parties though, so it can be hit or miss. It's not the best Italian I've ever had, but it is pretty solid. It makes for good comfort food. read more

Decided to try this restaurant after passing it by so many times. I have to say It was amazing. From the owners who greet you with a smile to the service. The food was amazing My kids fell in love with the Penne Vodka, my wife had the Lamb chops and I had the Branzino. They make everything in house and it shows. Can't wait to get back. read more

Came here for Easter dinner with family and found this place not to be a true authentic Italian restaurant. Poorly managed. NY sirloin steak came out severely undercooked and not even a sirloin cut of meat. Multiple dishes on the menu were oddly unavailable because they were 'out'. Would never dine here again. This place isn't Italian. You can find better quality and better service at a REAL Italian restaurant. If the owners are truly Italian they'd be ashamed. read more

Excellent!!!!!! Service was fantastic. Slow Roasted Short Rib special was mouth watering good. My party of 6 enjoyed there meals. Did I mention Homemade pasta!!!!! read more

This place is great for casual dining. The food is always good, and the prices are even better for such excellent food. I usually get the penne vodka or some sort of spinach ravioli in alfredo sauce, and I couldn't be happier. Que Pasta is also BYO, another plus. There is nothing like sipping on your favorite wine while eating delicious Italian food. The waiters are adorable and attentive also. The restaurant gets crowded on weekend nights, so it would be best to make a reservation. But the most I've ever had to wait is a half hour. If you're looking for a casual place with good Italian food, definitely go to Que Pasta. read more

Please support our community Italian Restaurant . This family business is amazing!! The food is delicious, each dish is filling, and their pasta is the best!!!!! read more

Just wanted to add the update: after three months of this business fighting this refund the bank FINALLY saw they double charged us. So my mother got back her money and we officially will never have anything to do with this business again. read more

20 years I've been coming to this restaurant. I've never had a bad meal. But in a COVID-19 world when you're packing 69 people in your restaurant 3 feet apart with a big birthday party going on in the back on Saturday, January 23 . Your way out of line. You ran out of entrées you ran out of dessert. Other restaurants are complying and suffering while you were obviously not. I had anxiety through my meal got up and left. Wake up there's people dying . Absolutely nothing wrong with the food it's fantastic. But you really need to learn with compliances Is . When this is over I wish you the best of luck I hope it takes three months to get a reservation there. In the meantime . read more

hands down, my favorite Italian restaurant ever! i come here every year for my birthday to enjoy the authentic food and cozy atmosphere. the staff is nice and the food is always on point. read more

Great food! It's would get 5 stars if they turned the air on in the summer. In the winter it's freezing. They just skate too cheap to make it comfortable. I know many people who don't go anymore because of the lack of AC and heat when needed. read more

Such a great family restaurant. Food is excellent and tasty. We've order many times for catering service and they always go above and beyond. read more

BEWARE! My family had a birthday party (18 people including adults and 3 children) for my 87 year old grandmother on 2/21/10. The food was great, however at 2 AM Tuesday 2/23/10, I woke up out of a sound sleep with the chills, my head spinng and had to vomit. I spent the rest of the night in and out of the bathroom vomiting. I received a call later that morning from my Aunt asking if myself or my husband got sick. It turns out that almost the entire family (15 of us) woke up between 2 AM and 3 AM with the same symptoms. My grandmother 87, fell in the middle of the night 4x as she was trying to make her way to the bathroom and my cousin who is 16 weeks pregnant passed out and collapsed. My Aunt called the restaurant to complain, and they said that it had to be from outside food. (This was not the case because not everyone ate the birthday cake or cookies). We also called the Board of Health and they said it sounds like it was a Norovirus. I have detailed what a Norovirus is for those who do not know. A Norovirus - Noroviruses belong to a family of viruses that cause the "stomach flu." Noroviruses are also called Norwalk-like viruses and caliciviruses. Stomach flu is also called gastroenteritis, food infection, food poisoning, and acute nonbacterial gastroenteritis. What causes infection with noroviruses? - Noroviruses generally spread through contaminated water and foods, although they can also pass from person to person. You may become infected by: Eating food or drinking liquids that are contaminated with norovirus. Shellfish and salad ingredients are the foods most often infected with the viruses. Food other than shellfish may be contaminated by food handlers. Touching surfaces or objects contaminated with norovirus, and then placing your hand in your mouth. Having direct contact with someone who is infected. For example, if you are a caregiver or share foods or utensils with someone who is ill, you may become infected. What are the symptoms - The symptoms of gastroenteritis caused by the noroviruses include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Diarrhea and vomiting can cause dehydration. You may have a headache and fever of less than 100F. A mild and brief illness usually develops 24 to 48 hours after you eat or drink the contaminated food or water and lasts for 24 to 60 hours. Most people are rarely very sick or have to go to the hospital. I URGE EVERYONE TO BEWARE!!! read more

Food is bland and nothing to rave about. Ingredients are good but not prepared with good Italian Spices or Sauces. They should stick to Pasta as they prepare most pasta dishes well. Stay away from the meat and fish dishes! read more

I love the risotto balls here! They are a must have from the appetizer menu. The pasta is really great & home made in house: ravioli sampler, house pasta dish, pene aka vodka - all delicious! I haven't ordered any steak entrees here, which my boyfriend says are hit or miss. Definitely worth trying if you love home made pasta or risotto read more

This family owned restaurant has been a staple of Saddle brook for nearly twenty years. The pasta and sauce are all made in house. Their vodka sauce is amazing, I will never get tired of it. The waiters are knowledgeable and polite. They change their specials menu every Friday so look out for that, but I'm sure the waiters will let you know. read more

Pastas are great all the sauces are fresh and tasty. Service is always great. Love this place. Good for solo dinners or groups. Great family place. read more

I've been there with a group of friends and they let us get a long table in the back of the restaurant to be more private. The waiters were very nice and offered us a quick service all the time. The pizza is something that I can definitely give thumbs up. Very fresh and delicious! The price is affordable and the day I was there (Thursday) we got half price for appetizers when we ordered main course. read more

We held my daughter's baby shower this afternoon. Everything was exceptional! The room was set up very nicely, the service was impeccable and the food was perfect! The owners and servers went above and beyond to make everything run smoothly. My daughter was very happy and the guest were all very impressed with everything. My family and I have been customers of Que Pasta for almost twenty years and have always enjoyed the food and the family-friendly environment. Thank you Willie, Laura ,Gabrielle and your wonderful staff. Maria C. Fernandez read more

My family had lunch there on Easter Sunday. We had reservations for 30 people. We made the reservations more then 4 weeks in advance. The manager had us choose 5 menu items before hand, to limit the menu options. Sadly even though we had reservations AND a limited menu, the restaurant still was not able to handle our table. They were under staffed and disorganized. We had to go to the bar and get our own drinks. It took well over an hour for our food to come out and 1 person in our party never got her food. We did not ask them to prepare the missing meal, since we did not want to potentially wait another hour. At the time of booking, the manager assured us that they would be able to split out bill by family with no issues (as they have done in the past). I sat and split the bill for the waitress and it still took almost an hour to get it situated. We were over charged, which was rectified, but just another issue. This is very disappointing since we have been there several times before with a large party and have never had an issue. Unfortunately, we wont be back. We are always a party of at least 15 and on holidays 30+ ... and clearly Que Pasta can't handle large parties. read more

My review stands. I think instead of insulting my husband you should have reached out and checked to see if he was ok. I suggest that others read the insulting reply and that is the disrespect you will receive when you eat here. We were not the only ones sending back food and complaining. I was just the only one to post it so others would not have to eat badly prepared food and deal with the unprofessional staff. read more

I've wanted to try this place for a while, it's around the corner from me so it makes it super convenient. I took all 3 of my children there for a Monday night dinner. I read right in the menu table side that they served and were in fact very proud of their home made pasta. I've proceeded to order 4 pasta dishes. The penne we were served was overcooked and half of it was burned. That wasn't the biggest problem. In fact the biggest problem, or I should say one of, was the meatballs that they brought for my four year old daughter which happened to have three raw eggshells in the meat. When asking he waitress about it, I got a very weird apology and in turn, proceeded to ask for the check. Upon getting the check I've noticed that it was in fact full price (even for the eggshells) I asked for the manager and received a very strange response ( he doesn't want to speak to you) the waitress said. I comely but of course not without being she'll shocked said to her that I want to speak to him. He never showed up and the waitress came back shaking her head with a discounted check ( 9 bucks less) I went up to the front and comely asked to speak to the manager there and I was ignored by someone named willie for about 10 min. At that point I left I never do this and I mean ever, but this place deserves to be smeared with crap though all the social media outlets that I am a part off. I would never want anyone to have this kinda of an experience when they go out and spend money. Que pasta, you really made me and family have a terrible evening. I hope that everyone who frequents your place reads this and never shows up again. I know your not going to get any new Buisness. read more

Wow! Had a holiday party here and the service was TOP NOTCH. Over 50 people and everything went on without a hitch. Amazing amazing service. The staff here is so professional, efficient, and wonderful. Food was replenished immediately, plates were cleared immediately. Everything was perfect. You cannot beat the price either. Everyone was so happy with the quality of the food - it was delicious! If you're looking for a private party, COME HERE. Thank you Que Pasta for making my work holiday party a memorable one- kudos to your wonderful staff who did the best job ever! Can't wait to be back next year! read more

I have been coming here for years, I tend to usually do take out. Besides a typical take out menu they also offer an assortment of sauces and fresh made pastas. Last week I came in for a small take out order and the owner seemed to have trouble charging my credit card. He ended up swiping it three times but assured it only charged once. I was skeptical. He had trouble printing a receipt out that night. A day later, my bank account confirms three separate pending charges from que pasta. I give them a call. I speak to the owner who processed my order that night. He took down my number and said he would look into it and give me a call back I never got a call back. Fast forward about a full week to this past Sunday 4/22/12. I had placed an order over the phone for pick up. When I stop in to pick the order up I explain that money is owed to me for charging my card three times for one charge. The older manager/owner looked at me as if I spoke a foreign tongue ad had three heads and in such disbelief that it was impossible for this to happen. I presented her with a view to my wells Fargo account online which shows three consecutive charges with three separate transaction numbers. I asked to please call her POS provider and verify my credit card number through them and they will instantly find the charges to my card. Well she decided to first send about 20 minutes going through receipts from the day, which was pointless since she can get the info verified directly from the pos company instantly. I was getting impatient as I would need to pay for my takeout which was now sitting around 40 minutes since it was made and being delayed by this entire fiasco caused by que pasta. The owner then yelled at me saying I should not Make a big deal since it was only $12.75 of incorrect charges to my card. It was very insulting. They mess up nd then treat me as if I was then one who screwed up. After 45 minutes of nonsense she finally accepted that they messed up and I was right. She did not even have the courtesy to give me fresh food after my meal had been sitting around for almost an hour due to their incompetence. I get to my house to find my chicken parm now is only one breast. Lol so now they have shrunken my order down in half. 2 weeks ago it was two breasts. Now only one. After they took my bag during all this.and give it back. Very damn shady to say the least. I am appauled this is how they would treat a customer ESP one that has become a regular. I guess customer appreciation or loyalty does not mean anything anymore. Keep your eyes on your bank statement if you pay with credit card. read more

I used to go here a lot when I lived in saddle brook a few years ago..They always had fresh pasta and great sauces...I remember the lasagna dishes being particularly tasty...The dishes were also HUGE...I have heard lately through the grapevine that the place was going downhill lately though and decided to check it out...So I went there two Fridays ago for lunch..I got a grilled chicken salad which was good except the lettuce had a real earthy taste kind of well, like dirt...No bueno , nobody wants to take a nice big taste of juicy chicken and some dirt...So that was a no.. The tap water tasted kind of gross as well even with some lemon in it..Which sucks bc I am a big water drinker..My friend got a shrimp and crab ravioli that I tried a bite of and it just really didn't have too much taste to me...All in all I think they probably have some good stuff still but this trip just didn't convince me that Que Pasta was giving its all...I hope it gets better bc they used to have some really yummy stuff :-( read more

The only reason I'm giving this place one star is because the server was good.. I've been here numerous times over the past 10 years. Very disappointed with what I saw last night. First you walk in not to be greeted. You have have to walk into the dinning room until a sever acknowledges there is someone standing there. This place is run down. Table cloths were stained with old red wine stains. Wall paper pealing. Floors dirty. The Food. We both ordered from the specials menu. Salad Average but fresh. The appetizer a warm portobello mushroom slapped on plate with sauce and cheese barley melted. Dinner. Surprisingly my husbands skirt steak which came out a rib eye was cooked to order and tasty. The pasta dish I ordered. Was poor. Was suppose to come with broccoli Rabe and sausage garlic and oil. Mostly uncooked garlic the broccoli Rabe was hardly present not mention chopped into tiny pieces and the stems where brownish yellow Gross. Then we ordered dessert. Salted Carmel Ice cream with Hot Fudge. We ended up with vanilla Ice Cream melted on a plate with fudge. I have been a server/bartender in the industry for many years. I don't like putting up bad reviews.. But this was a pretty bad experience. The Olive Garden has better food. read more
