I bought a deal in groupon. Service is good. Food was good but not great, I had shrimp vodka which was just OK.

July 7th, 2015 Tonight we dined at Que Pasta - my wife, my wife's business associate, and me. My wife and I are from Georgia and her friend from New Hampshire. The restaurant was relatively full but we got a comfortable booth quickly. Our server arrived at once. He was knowledgeable, courteous, friendly, and there when needed. There was a pleasant ambiance conducive to conversation and enjoying a good meal.The restaurant is very clean. We began with an appetizer of stuffed wild mushrooms which were delicious.For the main dish, I ordered the Paisano which I have never had before and thoroughly loved. My wife ordered and enjoyed Rosticiana which she also has never had. We often order dishes intending on trying something new and tonight we were not disappointed. Finally, I ordered a Tiramisu to take back to the hotel room for a late night snack. This was also very good. My only negative criticism would be that the rolls were o.k. and I was really hoping for some great Italian bread - I love great breads. I would recommend trying Que Pasta. read more

Came here for a celebration luncheon after a graduation ceremony. Really enjoyed the food and the service with accommodating to our very large party. They were always checking on us to make sure everything was okay. I liked how the food was well seasoned. The portions are very filling! read more

Sorry, this restaurant did not do it for me. The service was not really that great since our waiter was overwhelmed and a bit testy. The marinier sauce was something out a jar and totally processed. This restaurant is supposed to be known for its home-made pasta but lacked in flavor, texture and freshness. I suspect it was also commercial bought and passed off as in restaurant made. Very disappointed and will probably never go back there again! read more

This is our go-to local BYO Italian restaurant. Reasonably priced, friendly service, and quality food. All pasta and chicken dishes are great; appetizers and deserts are very tasty as well. Been coming here forever, it feel like home every time we come back. Enthusiastically recommended. read more

Mediocre food. Extensive menu which looked impressive, but taste was lacking in the penne vodka and dinner special-tri colored gnocchi. Surprisingly, Salmon dinner was full of flavor. The stuffed mushrooms appetizer was delicious and if I would recommend anything, it would be that and the delicious carrot cake for dessert. read more

Recently tried this place for take-out twice and I love it. They're friendly, the fresh made pasta is delicious and I am addicted to the shrimp n apple salad. I recommend [everything] the chicken parm, rosticiana, fresh spinach ravioli in bolognese and the calamari. And, of course, the shrimp and apple salad. read more

Came here once for a take out, and got the lasagna ....it was pretty good and reasonably priced, the staff seemed pretty friendly, would definitely go back read more

Purely excellent food and service. Everything we ate was delicious. Highly recommended place for authentic Italian food. For those who are looking for a place to come with kids, Friday night kids eat free. read more

Went there to cater a party at our building. The owner sat down with us and quoted a price that we thought was reasonable. We ordered what we liked off the menu, and agreed to follow up with him. A week before the party we again went to Que Pasta to finalize our contract. Everything seemed ok until 2 days before we were to have our affair. The owner called us to say he needed more money, that he couldn't do it for the price we agreed on. We had no choice but to pay, we couldn't get another caterer in time. I believe he knew that all along to. When the food was delivered, there was no butter, grated cheese or pasta with the fish that we told him at least 3 times to have. The food was just OK a best. I would never use Que Pasta to cater another affair read more

I do so there for a change and when I want a restaurant with a bar. I think there main courses are very good,but there appetizer are just ok. read more

Amazing and delicious food as well as the service. Went last night for my birthday celebration with my family and we were all impressed. Bravo for Que Pasta! read more

We have been going to Que Pasta on and off over the last few years. They host a lot of parties, the food at the catered events is ok, not bad, not really that good either. Last night, my husband and I went there for dinner, the food was a real turn-off. My husband ordered penne alla vodka, the sauce was watery, and the peas were still frozen. I ordered lasanga and it was quite under-seasoned, the meat filling looked and tasted like hamburger helper. Just not a good experience, the owner or manager is all about making money and they don't really care about their dining room customers when they are full of catered parties. Too bad, could be much better. read more

Food was pretty good.. Staff nice and friendly! Macaroni was really good but didn't taste like true homemade macaroni! The house salad and vinaigrette was off the charts!! I willbe back! read more

What a great service ! Willie the owner was so accommodating ! Excellent ! I first received some trays of food when my dad passed away. The food was so tasty eggplant parmigiana , rice balls, penne and vodka. So I decided to order food for a trip I was going on. Called the night before and he had it ready at 830 am. !!! I would recommend this to anyone who needs delicious food quickly !!!!! read more

Attended a baby shower yesterday at Que Pasta. This place is small but cozy and has a very nice atmosphere. The staff could not have been anymore helpful or accommodating. Drinks were not included in our party but when I asked if wine was available, the waitress quickly brought two drinks to our table . The girls at the buffet. watched to see if any dishes were getting low and brought out more food when the first trays were gone. Of course the food would be gone, because it was sooo darn good. Every dish tasted as if it was just prepared . The salads were fresh and chopped which is nicer than having to cut up . The balsamic dressing was delicious , just perfect. The bruschetta was also tasty and everyone at my table was raving about it. The pasta......wow, freshly made, cooked perfectly and the sauces were so good. I consider myself yo be a pretty good cook but dont think I could replicate their sauces. The chicken was grilled, with fresh spinach, tomatoes and topped with cheeses and some kind of sauce that complimented the entree. Everyone at our table raved about the food and most went back for seconds. We live out of town but are planning to go back and have lunch and get a few pints if sauce to take home. Could not have been any better. Thank you fir making this day so very special, Que Pasta. read more

I have been coming here for years! Everything is always great! I do miss it being BYOB but the sangria is great and pretty strong. I love the fresh and great tasting meals! read more

This restaurant deserves five stars. I had a 65th birthday party here last Sunday. It was in one of their private rooms. Everything was excellent from the service to the food. All of my guests were impressed. The staff was very professional. Everyone went out of their way to make it that way. I have eaten in the main restaurant before so I really new everything would be great. I was right. Thank you Willie Sr and staff for making that party memorable. I shall return. Again you guys are the best. read more

I've been going to this place for years, from communions to birthday parties. It's a childhood favorite, and I still go. Their bread is fresh and their proportions are generous. I love it in every way imaginable. Service is good, atmosphere is great (with outdoor seating), and, most importantly, their food is delicious! Only one time did my food not come out as hot as I would liked it to have been, but that still does not damage my view of it. I highly recommend coming here if your in the area and in the mood for a somewhat casual dining experience. read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE This is my go to place for Italian cuisine in NJ. Seriously Que pasta is my standard for judging Italian restaurants because it's bar none THE BEST! Food: Their specials are so ridiculously good. Quality steaks, quality fish, quality Italian entrees. Presentation is absolutely marvelous. The visual aspect and the aroma of the food are only beat by how amazing the food tastes. Taste will have you coming back week after week if you're local. Portion size is so generous and the price is beyond fair. Seriously love their chefs; hats off to these gentlemen. Try the penne vodka with chicken my favorite. The best penne vodka you'll ever have. Aesthetics: perfect for family, parties, or romance Staff: Always friendly, courteous, and fast service. From the moment you enter the door they have someone on their staff waiting on you to make sure you feel welcomed. You have to love it when a restaurant acknowledges and takes care of its customers needs from beginning to end. The owners are also incredibly friendly and go to great lengths to make sure everyone is happy. Take out: Can not believe such amazing Italian cuisine is available for take out. You can get their pasta dishes or sandwiches. Gotta love the Willy Philly If you're in North Jersey for business or pleasure you have to try this place. When I'm traveling out of state for business, I come on yelp looking for reviews like this to point me towards good food. Seriously wish more people on yelp would direct me to gems like this restaurant. read more

The commercials are hilariously crappy but you got to give this place credit for trying

Eat here once a year for my company dinner, the food is pretty good and service aswell. Never ate here outside of my corporate event.

I have been to Que Pasta before and have returned to dine-in and take-out over the past years and have enjoyed the food. Today we were in the area and went to the take-out window. The man at the window was very helpful and gave recommendations on how to cook the ravioli and to make sure you don't put on too much sauce to overwhelm the flavor of the pasta. Boy, was he right! We got meat ravioli and Bolonese sauce for 2 and the meat flavor of the ravioli peaked through the Bolonese...very tasty! I just wish they were closer. They are definitely worth your going out of the way! read more

I am always happy, never disappointed! I have eaten here with small groups and large groups, and they have taken care of us so well in each situation. I have taken takeout orders and catering orders, and the food is always hot, organized and just as good as it is when eaten in the restaurant. They consistently switch up the specials menu, and the regular menu items are also very appetizing. The app makes it easy to get deals with coupons and a rewards card. I recommend the rice balls, bruschetta, sangria and anything with vodka sauce! The arrabiata is also another great option. They are flexible with customizing the pastas, or switching up sauces. The dessert and cocktail menus are a perfect supplement to a very satisfying meal!! read more

I am writing ANOTHER review, as I noticed my previous one was filtered. Interestingly, most of the negative reviews have been filtered. I don't feel like reiterating my experience, as one can read my review in the filtered area. All I can say is, stay away from this restaurant, the food was horrible. And no, I am not a competitor! read more

Have been ordering chop salads and gnocchi quite frequently. Some inconsistencies along the way, but could be overlooked. Tonight was an exception. The chop salads looked like lettuce salads. There were no walnuts, 3 half sliced olives and quite a few stumps from the bottom of the lettuce. The gnocchi were okay, but there was more sauce than gnocchi. Very disappointing. We keep coming back because it is convenient, but wish the food could be more consistent. read more

I hosted a Bridal Shower in one of their smaller rooms during the summer. I did the basic buffet menu. The event room was very nice and just perfect for our small group, and they did a nice job preparing it for my event. The food was good overall, with a few issues. The fettuccine alfredo was too dry and the roasted red potatoes were too salty. My major complaint is the waitress that was assigned to my party. She was absent most of the time, and didn't do much of anything. Being a buffet, the guests get their own food at the buffet table, but she was responsible for getting them their beverages. She not once went to the tables to ask my guests what they wanted to drink, or asked me if everything was ok. I would consider doing another event there, but I would make sure I get a different waitress/waiter. read more

Gnocchi with sausage was wonderful, as was the artichoke app. Generous soft drinks, yummy cannoli .I will happily order again.

I always order take-out from Que Pasta because it's delicious and affordable, so I decided to bring a business colleague who was visiting from out of town. Overall, the experience was pleasant and she enjoyed the food, BUT I have three issues: 1.) HOW can you be completely out of ALL 9 "Entree Specials" (except 2 of the ravioli dishes) by 6:30pm on a Thursday night?! Why would you still have the "Specials" portion of the menu included if you don't even have the items available?? 2.) I anticipated using a coupon from their advertisement in The Clipper (which also was part of the reason I chose to dine in) and when I gave it to the waiter, he said I could not use it because I ordered one of their "half-off app specials," which is not mentioned on ANY portion of the coupon (no biggie); Just a suggestion, I would make it clearer on your advertisements that you do not want coupons combined with any other offers 3.) The interior of the restaurant needs some SERIOUS updating...it's quiet, and it is great that they have a bar now, but it is very outdated and the bathroom, though clean, looks like they slapped together spare parts from a recent renovation. Needless to say, if you're looking for a decent meal with a classic Jersey, Italian setting, then Que Pasta is the place for you...as for myself, I'll stick to my usual take-out. read more

Love this place. Have been coming here for about 20 years. Best Vodka Sauce I have ever tasted. Spinach Ravioli in Pesto Sauce is deeelish too. Service is always good and consistent. Never had one complaint. read more

I should start by saying that I'm not a huge fan of the Italian cuisine, but I always enjoy Italian dishes. I look at Italian cuisine as a safe bet, can't go wrong with, but I'm more the type of guy that's looking to always try something new. We went to this place several times, and it was always good, but my last visit and the fact that I think 3 stars and a half don't do justice to this place, made me write this review. I was looking for a place to celebrate my mom's in-law birthday, somewhere close because of time restrictions. We went with this place as a safe bet. The pasta is made in-house, my brother in law would swear the the sauces are also made in house (taste wise) but I can't confirm or infirm that. Service was excellent, we finished in time and the guy went beyond his responsibilities, opening a bottle of wine for us to go and giving us some disposable cups to enjoy the wine while watching the fireworks in the park. I believe that family style meals are new to the menu (at least I don't remember them from my previous visit) which is also a plus when sharing appetizers, or where you have similar cravings with your friends or family when it comes to entrees. I find the restaurant prices to be on the low side but the family style dishes make it even more affordable. Also, we took our newborn with us, a party of 8 (and the little one) without a reservation, and while the place was busy, a table was set for us just right, with the least amount of traffic, exactly what we're looking for, as the little one doesn't have his vaccines yet. read more

Went here today with my sister for the first time. The waiter was excellent and provided great information about the menu items. He also was extremely flexible with some substitutions we made. Great service really makes the meal so much better. Now for the food: Started with the handmade mozzarella sticks and risotto balls. Both were excellent except I am not a big fan of peppers and they were in the risotto balls. But they were easily pulled out. Entrees were veal Francaise and veal parmigiana. Both were delicious and very generous portions. For pasta we got cavatelli and gnocchi with bolognese. The gnocchi was so light, like I have had in Italy, not heavy blobs like so many restaurants serve. And they had a fantastic flavor on their own. The cavatelli was also flavorful. Both pastas were so much more than "sauce holders". The bolognese sauce was meaty and very tasty. We went here with an Amazon Local voucher which made it a great deal. But honestly the quality, portion sizes, and prices make it a good value even without a voucher. In fact we purchased sauces and pastas to go. I even drove back after realizing I forgot to buy some meatballs. My freezer is stocked with delicious foods, my fridge with yummy leftovers, and we even got tips on cooking our pasta. Great value, quality, and service make this a must try in my opinion. It was certainly a pleasant experience for us and we plan to return. read more

Went there for dinner last night for a friends b-day. The service was excellent as was the food. We had the appetizer platter garlic bread with cheese and a salad that was big enough for 5 people to share. I can honestly say it was the best dinner I have had in a very long time. Stop by and check out the shrimp ala vodka, you wont be disappointed. Portions are huge, flavor was wonderful service was fantastic! Loved our waiter (cute as a button too!) Keep up the great work guys, see ya soon. read more

I was disappointed by the food and inattentive service by our waiter. The only thing he did was take our order and checked in once. Other staff brought our food (whom was very nice and should have more staff like him) We had to ask someone to get our waiter to come help us. For food that taste ok at best service should over compensate for it. If service was better I would consider going back. But not taking chance of experiencing the same. read more

We recently reserved the dining areas for a repass in September . One of the most important things about a repass is making sure that food is on point, as it's one of the few things that can comfort the soul during a time of grieving. I must say therefore, Que Pasta exceeded our expectations and some. The staff was great starting with Gabe, whom we spoke to about reserving and was very accommodating in terms of knowing a rough headcount. In situations like this you can't really have a precise exact number. But he truly helped us out along with his father , the owner. The wait staff was excellent and we never had to ask for anything because they were two steps ahead of everything from when to bring out the food and when to replenish as well as when it was time for dessert. The price is absolutely reasonable considering their delicious choices of food. If you have a bad experience here , give them another chance and they will not disappoint! read more

foods good but all their banquet napkins are backwards ..pathetic

They're getting 4 stars because they redeemed themselves the second time I went. The first time I had a horrible experience. Long story short, I didn't like my food but I was starving. The waitress didn't come to ask how everything was going until almost 45 minutes after bringing the food and the food was cold by then and partially eaten since I was starving. When I told her it wasn't good, she said, "I mean you ate it so there's not much I can do." I asked to speak to the manager and I believe it was the owner's wife I spoke to. She was so rude! She even raised her voice at me and walked away while I was talking to her. I said I wouldn't go back, but a friend of mine convinced me it was worth going again. SO I did. Second time was completely different. Food was amazing, the tiramisu was the best I've ever had, staff was super attentive. Will definitely be back. read more

We had my wife's 40th Birthday there in the West Room. They took such good care of us. Our 24 guests raved about the food. Especially the house salad, eggplant rolletini, alfredo and the chicken parm. The food kept coming and no try was empty ever. The food is well priced. Our server, Elisa, was on top of things and friendly. The owner Lauri called to verify a few things as well the day before, like the attention to detail. Will definitely use Que Pasta for future events, or even just a night out. read more

On 1/28/12- Terrible service; food came out piecemeal- some were eating and some had to wait another 15 minutes; Eggplant Rolatini- type dish had hardly any ricotta; had to BEG for bread during the hour wait for food; had to beg for check- and yes, the 18% he knew he was getting regardless was there. (12 people) DO NOT take reservations if you don't have the staff. And this was at lunch time. 3 hours of waiting!!! read more

Today was the first time to the resturant and i thought the food was excellent and you recieved plenty, so much food I had to bring some home. the food was excellent as i stated ,and it was fresh. I would recommend it to everyone. The service was great too, a very nice young man served us.God be with you all. read more
