I've been going here for YEARS and I've never been disappointed. The atmosphere is nice, the restaurant is clean and the food is consistently very good. I don't think there's a place around that offers a better deal. I stopped this week to get something to go - wonderful chicken porfino, penne (al dente, like it should be) with arrabiatta sauce, a salad and a roll - all for 11.95! And the portions easily provided 2 meals. You just can't beat that. I've even been there for catered events with buffet food and it is STILL good. Go there - BYOB. read more

We have been going to Que pasta for a long time. We have had good food and decent service. With so many restaurants around now, and many good, there is no reason to deal with marginal places. Recently my Mother was at Kessler, and we started going there again. The service had gotten worse if that was possible. We went three times while she was in therapy,and it seems they don't have experienced or not enough help. I have had better service at a Pizzeria. We were there today, again, We keep giving it a chance thinking they just are having bad days. We placed our orders, and ordered coffee that was brought and no milk or sugar. I asked for it, and 10 minutes later I had to remind him again. In fairness the places was packed and they only had one waiter and another that didn't look experienced enough to handle any issues. We ordered our appetizers and the restaurant started filling, when we saw that, and after our experiences there, we asked for more drinks, knowing it would take a long time to get the waiter back to our table. We ordered the entrees and SPECIFICALLY said what we didn't want on our plate.. when 30 minutes later our meals come out.. they were wrong. I said please take them back.after being there a good hour and still nothing, we told them to cancel our order and to bring the check. We waited and waited and were told sorry they were getting our check and still nothing.. I decided to stand up and start to move towards the door to see if anyone would bring the check, and thankfully I was handed the check. I waited till the customers that were at the front counter had gone, to tell the owner/manager what happened to us. I believe that it is helpful for owners to know what is going on. and I didn't want to do it in front of people. I placed an order for ravioli that they sell frozen to take home, and told the owner that we needed to speak to him.He said would be right back.. AGAIN we waited.. and waited.. finally the owners wife came out and said that he would be right out to take our money. She cant take money.. a little while later, she said OK I'll take the money from you. It was obvious that he didn't want to talk to us.. So I start to tell her my issues and she said that the young man that waited on us has been there 10 years and never got an order wrong.. I said that is not true and that is why I am trying to tell her this. We have had the wrong order before and just took it.I guess no one told her that another family walked out of the restaurant while we were there? Obviously no one has told you anything negative or she would not be answering this way. (in fairness there was only one waiter) the woman/owner was not receptive to anything I had to say.. as I was telling her what happened she got my changed and was making faces at me, when I called her on it she said they were not directed towards me.. I said we are the only two here.. I said it was OK.. that I would not be coming there at all anymore. I was not trying to make a scene, just wanted them to understand that they are shooting themselves in the foot by having lousy service, and terrible customer service,, she did not want to hear anything negative. I now understand how they are still in business.. they are next door to a large rehab facility and people come to visit not knowing the area and eat there. I am from the area and know that the Saddle Brook Diner has better service than this place.. there are also several pizzeria's in the area that might serve better. I will never go their with or without my family and friends. There are tons of restaurants, and way more reasonably priced. I have never written a review, but I am so disappointed with their customer service. For all of you that love this place, I used to as well.and for those of you that might be regulars, you can't tell us that you haven't noticed the decline in service and quality. I wish them the best of luck, and a little advice, LISTEN to your customers, They are giving you feedback, good or bad feedback is something that helps you improve where you are lacking.. .. read more

I've been a customer for many years, about 10 years, I love this place. Food and service is excellent, I've been to many Italian restaurant but, I'm always back to Que Pasta. Prices are also very reasonable and food delicious. read more

I love the pasta there, very tasty and fresh, but in my case I had a bad experience on a dessert, .I ask for an ice cream (farfutto) and when I started to eat, had pine nuts , I am allergic to nuts, there was no mention on the menu about it, of course I told the waitress and she took it away . Just be carefull.! read more

What a lovely lunch. Great server and very nice staff, but most of all the food was delicious! Warm toasty semolina dinner rolls wrapped in a hot white linen cloth, followed by a crisp fresh garden salad with a homemade balsamic vinaigrette which was so delightful one could drink it. Our entrees were equally as good. The home made rigatoni (Rigatoni Rosiciana) with a cream tomato sauce, fresh onions, wild mushrooms and clumps of Italian sweet sausage with fresh spinach scattered throughout the dish was wonderful. Our other entree was a grilled sauted boneless chicken breast (Chicken Foresto) , with baby artichokes, red pepper, diced tomato and fresh melted mozzarella. Wonderful as well...I look forward to returning and this time it will be for dinner. So with all that being said, I'm hoping you will give this little "gem" a try. I'm a little bit of a "foodie" too! Helped a dear friend open her Italian Restaurant, and we have a wonderful restaurant in our family "Nicoles Ten" in Randolph...was on Emeril Lagasse's 2nd. TV show as well as having lunch with Lydia Bastianich . My girls and I get our burgers from Pat La Freida who makes special blends for establishments all over the country many of which are in NJ... We frequent markets where we get our veggies fresh picked on that day and have a cousin who's chickens lay the most amazing delicious eggs...the color is so vibrant, you'd think food die was injected. We love our "Berkshire Pork", we enjoy many of Whole Foods and Trader Joes products as well as Mitsuwa in Edgewater. Little Eataly in nyc is pretty great too! So, if you've had the time and patience to read this review, Kudos to you...My point..hoping that I can convey to you that we love our food and we are at best "novices" as far as critics are concerned, but please... Give this place, "Que Pasta" a try...Bon Apetite! read more

I have been here a couple of months ago. I was around the area, so I saw the restaurant and thought it was nice. However, I was wrong. The place was very clean and inviting. On the other hand, the food wasn't what I expected. I had linguini and on the plate I could see more sauce than pasta. It looked like a soup. Then, I had chicken with vegetables. The vegetables weren't fresh at all. The chicken had no taste. After that, I didn't even get a desert because of the unpleasant experience I had. I do not recommend it. read more

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 our oldest sons baptism party here 17 yrs. ago..Fast forward...We now take our 6' 2" 240lb. football player there ,, Last trip down @ 2 weeks ago !!!!!!! We live up in Pascack Valley so we come down @ twice a year... Since this restaurants inception....The owners...Willie and his son Gabe were always very welcoming...Their food was and has always been very fresh...We have never had a bad meal there.. It has been one of our favorites for many years...Ive read a review that someone didnt like their meal there...YOU SHOULD HAVE ASKED FOR A DIFFERENT DISH !!!!! They are about the nicest and easiest people to talk to at that restaurant. I am sure they would have made U happy. read more

FYI.. I purchased a Groupon and the dinner menu shows veal entrees. When I went for dinner, there was NO veal entrees on their menu. Was told taken off. So you can see how disappointed I was when I had to order something else when my heart was set on veal. I ordered the meat lover pasta entree and my friend ordered Chicken Genoa...........Both entrees was bland, really no taste to speak of. My sauce on the pasta entree was watery, very little tomato sauce. Went on a tuesday so service wasnt a issue. Ambiance okay. read more

Very good service and its downhill from there. The Chicken Foresto looks great on the menu. When I got served.. I had in front of me one overcooked dry grilled chicken breast smothered with mozzarella,some tomato bits, four very small potato bits, six greasy string beans, 7 slices of greasy carrots ( my "roasted vegetables). I wondered where the advertised spinach and roasted red peppers were. I found three thin, small slices of roasted red pepper with four spinach leaves buried under the cheese. Having been involved in the restaurant business, I can only see this as a huge profit maker. Stick to the pasta, it seems to be what they do best. After all, how can you mess up a Chicken parm...! For the money, on the entrees, you can do better elsewhere. read more

My daughters hosted a bridal shower here on 8-18-18 to help welcome a new sister/daughter into our family. I must say it was an excellent affair (bravo girls). Lisa was spot on with her suggestions of timing/planning of the different moments of the shower. The servers were so helpful, professional. They were right on top of everything but not overly so as to be pesky. Our male server was a true gentleman. Even taking the time to check if everything was going according to our plans with my daughters as well as my self. He actually took a moment to insure that I take a step back & take in all that was transpiring with my girls at one point. It was a moment I will remember for a very long time. Family is so important to me & growing our family is such a wonderful experience for me. Thank you sir! I'm just sorry that I do not remember his name. His co-worker was so attentive herself. She was a very sweet, polite warm welcoming woman. Very attentive & professional. Wonderful experience. Our family & friends had an excellent time. The food was delicious and all went off very well. Prior to the shower my son & 1st daughter-in-law has had several meals, either dine in or take out, all very good. My cousins birthday party is how we came to find the restaurant. Again our thanks to all at Que Pasta. Sorry, I cannot give 5 stars, because I believe nothing is perfect & that is ok. We live in an imperfect world & we should all be more tolerant of our human failings. Ladies and gentlemen job well done (lavoro ben fatto). Hope to return soon ~Donna~ read more

I've been frequenting Que Pasta for about 10 years now. Casa de Que Pasta makes you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. Family owned, the family is delightful. A cozy gem in NJ, Que Pasta cooks authentic home cooking and makes incredible fresh pasta. They have an array of sauces and I always must order the pasta arrabiata; it's absolutely divine. I am very picky with Eggplant parm and it is perfection at Que Pasta. Ambiance is perfect for families, dates, and any occasion. In addition, there are rooms for mid-sized celebrations (20-30 people?) I celebrated a graduation there which was wonderful. The service is great as well. My disappointments include what seems to be the bad economy downgrades: less tasty rolls and parmesan that is definitely not fresh grated. Really does not complement the fabulous quality of the food. If youre a cheese snob like me, bring a little container of parm, and dig in because everything else is awesome. Great for lunch and dinner. Awesome early bird special and daily deals. read more

I was treated to dinner here for my friend's birthday. She goes every week and loves it. I did not have the same experience and neither did some of the other people I ate with. The salad dressing was soooo sweet and tangy you couldn't eat it. I ordered the stuffed clams and they were bland. I don't think I had ever had bland stuffed clams before. Where was the garlic???? This is an Italian restaurant. My salmon had no flavor and the sauce had too much balsamic vingear in it and it overpowered it. The salmon was drenched in it. I guess to try and give the salmon some flavor. Another guest and her husband had pasta dishes. He said the pasta had a strange texture and tasted like it was cooked in dishwater. Her shrimp were bland and washed out. I, too, can hear Chef Ramsey screaming that the food is frozen!!! I will not be returning here. If anyone is interested, there is a lovely Italian restaurant right down the road called Giovannis in Elmwood Park. Everything tastes FRESH! read more

I read here that the pasta was homemade. I'm certain that it's not. The menu was lacking Italian staples like spaghetti & meatballs and veal. Pasta was under cooked and wasn't drained well. There was a puddle of water on my plate. The sauce was over cooked & watered down, sausage was also under cooked. GF had chicken parmesan with linguini in Arabian sauce. Chicken was visibly burnt, the sauce had jalapenos in it(?). Waitress was very young, didn't even know to tell the manager about the uneatened order of chicken. She apologized for the bad food several times but never tried to fix the order. She told us the kitchen was busy because of the big party in the back. Topper was when the check came and we were still being charged for the uneatened meal. She continued to apologize but hadn't done anything to fix the problem. Finally the manager adjusted the bill but GF still hadn't had her meal. We left feeling that there was plenty of room for improvement. From the kitchen to training the wait staff. read more

Què Pasta is a cozy restaurant that has a bar which it did not have a few years ago. We met friends for dinner there at 5:30. They got there about 10-15 minutes before us and decided to sit at the bar and have a drink. No bartender. Two waiters were standing to the side and one of them flipped a bar menu over to them. No one came to ask them for an order so they got up to ask the hostess to show them to our table. They told us what had happened and said they felt like they were invisible. They remarked to the hostess about it as they were shown to our table and got a quick "I'm sorry". Dinner was okay. Portions okay but we've had much better in other Italian restaurants in our area. Ravioli were mediocre and could have been served much hotter. Drinks are expensive since we preferred name brand liquors, I guess? New waitress put forth good effort to take our order. In general, it was just okay. Now I know why there's always a Groupon for the place because it draws in customers. Could be a good place for events such as bridal or baby showers but not as a Saturday night dinner place for us. Tried the place 3 times and kept hoping for better. read more

I went to Que Pasta to celebrate my birthday with family and friends. We celebrated there 2 years ago and thought it was a great place to return for a good meal and good time. Unfortunately, this visit was not as good. I ordered the chicken Parmesan meal and to my disgust, bit into a raw piece of chicken. We were being assisted by one young waiter who was good and an older man (probably late 30s). When i informed them that the chicken was raw they were apologetic but no manager came out to apologize. The younger waiter asked if I wanted something else so I ordered a chicken tender kids meal but unfortunately after throwing up the raw food in the bathroom, could not eat anything. When we received the check, the chicken parm meal thankfully was not on there but the chicken tender meal was. When my wife approached the older of the two gentlemen he seemed confused as to why we wouldn't want to be charged for either meal (the one YOU served raw and the one I couldn't eating after throwing up the raw food). Needless to say, Que Pasta I expect better service especially considering he fact we were a group of 15! At minimum coach your managers to be apologetic to the customers who endure this and without asking, use the common sense not to charge for the uneaten meals as a result of your failure to not just serve an uncooked meal but also have management that doesn't come out to apologize. Our visit was November 5th and we were the party of 15 for the 8pm reservation! read more

had the oso boco, it came out cold. sent back and it came out microwaved. my wife had the meat lover pasta, it was drenched in sauce (obviously store bought) the meatballs tasted of inferior meat ( not appetizing at all). I forget what my 2 sons had. but they were also disappointed. at the end the manager tried defending her food almost blaming us for not asking for different plates and the sauce on the side. she did offer us desert on the house which we all declined but she insisted (which I commend) so I had a espresso and grapa (very good). the wait staff were very good and professional. would not recommend, food was un authentic I believe. read more
