Pros: great service. Parking on street easy to find. Interesting good concept. Cons: I don't actually like jerk chicken. That's not their fault. I've never liked it. read more

Rasta Pasta - Caribbean Near Me - Colorado Springs, Colorado

Wow...my wife wasted to come here so bad and my son says it's his favorite place...I went tonight and HOLY SHIT....LOVE IT!!! I had the dreadlock ravioli with jerk chicken...and then I topped it off with Bananas Marley...well...what I want to say next would be taken down...just go eat the damn food!! read more

We arrived between lunch and dinner (3PM) when it wasn't real busy so we were seated immediately and also served very quickly. The restaurant has a Jamaican vibe to it with painted walls and the music playing making it a fun place to eat. They have both inside and outside dining as well. And the best is yet to come the food is fantastic. The marinara sauce that comes with the garlic bread is fantastic, i know it's only marinara sauce but it is the best I've ever had by far. All the food which is a Jamaican-Italian fusion is fantastic, also don't forget the drinks try the Rum Punch you wont be disappointed! read more

An unexpectedly amazing Jamaican-Italian fusion. Definitely get the marinara and bread to start. The Rasta Pasta or the Chicken Montego Bay with pineapple Alfredo (yes that combo works) are good choices. Skip dessert and head to Josh & John's. read more

This was pretty rough. 1 of the 4 of us liked their food. 1 of us ate it out of principle. 1 ate half before giving up and 1 only made it 1 bite in. The natural mystic pasta was decent. The one with the fruit was very weird and not very good. The ravioli seemed to be tomato sauce and hotdogs with the pasta. And the knuckles spaghetti seemed to be hotdogs with a unseasoned tomato sauce. We went based on the reviews and left completely baffled. read more

The food was absolutely amazing, the service was stellar, and the ambiance was cool. Rasta Pasta delivered a great experience from start to finish. I'll definitely be back! read more

I ordered take out so I can't review the location. My build your own pasta was very good! There is a lot of food in an order, so be prepared to have leftovers. I love that this place offers tofu and also veggie noodles. I built my own bowl with both of those things since they are not something you can get everywhere. The marinara sauce had a nice spiciness to it, but it wasn't overly tangy. And the little foil bombs of garlic bread that come with your order are great for soaking up the extra sauce! read more

Once again I had the Dreadlock Ravioli, but with diced clams this time. Ohhh so very, very good! The sauce is excellent, nice fresh, clean tasting and you could taste the ingredients clearly! The service is always hands down wonderful, the waiter staff is always so friendly, attentive and just make you feel like they enjoy your company. They have merch, good music and wi-fi. We enjoyed our food and time there. Go check them out, you will not be sorry! When we are out that way again, we will be back... read more

Food was superb. Waiter and waitress were fantastic, and more than welcoming. Setting was nice and gave us the perfect setting we could have asked for at this restaurant. Definitely recommend the spaghetti knuckles and Rasta Pasta. read more

Started with the garlic bread and curry dipping sauce...Unfortunately, the highlight of the meal. Really wasn't impressed with the garlic bread itself, similar in quality to Olive Garden. As the grandson of an Italian restauranteur, I guess my bar is set relatively high. The curry sauce was decent. Ordered Rasta pasta and spicy shrimp plates. Completely unimpressed with the marinara sauce. Would've been better with a lot less sauce, actually. I've had plenty of jerk seasoning before, but seemed awfully heavy in allspice and clove. Was left thinking that Italian food should be left Italian, Jamaican food left Jamaican. The combination of the two didn't do anything for our group, in fact, we didn't take anything home for leftovers. Our waitress was very friendly. read more

Rasta Pasta offers a unique twist that's really delicious. The server was very friendly and the atmosphere was extremely welcoming and relaxing. (We got sleepy at the table). A great choice for anyone looking for a good spot to eat in Colorado Springs! read more

My wife and I discovered this highly unique dining experience in downtown Colorado Springs this summer. Rasta Pasta offers some very creative food combining the best of Italian and Rastafarian cuisine. Unique wall murals and very friendly service. Later in the evening we noticed that they had music and dancing as well. We were still talking about the experience two weeks later. read more

I've been wanting to go to Rasta Pasta for a very long time and when I finally went, it exceeded all expectations. It is conveniently located downtown, so it's a perfect place to begin a night out or end a day out shopping...or simply for the main event of your outing! I came with a large group and they were able to accommodate us instantly. Our server was so humorous, friendly and helpful, providing recommendations and to go boxes at the end of our meal. The menu is extensive with every style of pasta that you could dream of and even a build your own pasta section. Since it was my first time, I decided the try the flagship "Rasta pasta". It consists of penne noodles, a fresh vegetable medley, spicy jerk sauce and an extra vegetable and tofu medley, since I asked for it vegan style. That's right, Rasta pasta will make ANY menu item vegan or gluten free! Every bite of my pasta was delightful, warming me down to my very soul and replenishing every carbohydrate that I've ever lost. The flavor was exciting, the vegetables were tender yet crunchy and the tofu added a wonderful high protein pizazz. Even the side piece of bread was phenomenal! Not only is the food and service fantastic, but the ambiance is unbeatable. They were playing wonderful reggae such as Iration. With the Bob Marley murals and groovy decor, I felt like I was on an island having the best meal of my life. Needless to say, I'm a little obsessed with Rasta pasta and I am already jonesing for my next fix. If you haven't been here yet, you MUST! read more

I'm going to pre-date myself and say that I've been going to Rasta Pasta for over 20 years. Used to brag to friends that taking your date there increased the size of your "charisma" as everybody walked out of their old Breckenridge location ready to party. With that out of the way, I am happy to report that the CO sprigs location is still is putting out charisma generating dishes including my favorite the Montego Bay. Although more veggies have been added to this delight, still as good as I remember. Unfortunately, I dined by myself with quick and friendly service making me reminisce of the glory days of the past. read more

4.5 stars. Delicious delicious food and a bright, tropical and fun atmosphere!! We came here on a Friday afternoon and it wasn't busy at all. The smells that hit you when you enter get the stomach juices running, so if you aren't hungry, you will start feeling hungry. We ordered the Tortellini Jamaica Mon, the Rasta Pasta and the Natural Mystic pastas. You can choose your level of spice and as someone who LOVES spicy food, please order the highest spice level if you do too. I ordered level 2 out of the 3 and had to add a lot of jerk sauce and chili flakes to make mine spicy. The Tortellini Jamaica Mon is on the sweeter side with bananas, pineapple and grapes. It is a white sauce based pasta. My friend who can't handle the spicy stuff, was definitely intrigued by it all and enjoyed it. The Rasta Pasta was marinara based and good but also needed more spice. I think the marinara took away from how spicy it could've been, especially with the jerk chicken in there. I LOVED mine, which was the natural mystic. For those familiar with it, this is what masala Maggi or curry ramen taste like. This one had penne pasta instead of a noodle component. It has pineapple curry sauce but it's not too strong to make it tangy. You get jerk chicken, cilantro, garlic, green onions and honestly, it is a delight to the palate (spiciness aside of course). I finished every bit of it and that says something, since I usually take half the portion home. We got margaritas to go with the pasta and they were delicious!! They also give them to you to go, which I loved immensely. For dessert, we got the bananas Marley which was basically ice cream with caramelized bananas. We were pleasantly surprised by how delicious it was! The warm caramel with the cold ice cream, was a complex but wonderful experience to the palate. The servers were very nice and definitely a place I'm coming back to! read more

I feel bad giving a bad review but I guess that's what reviewing is for. First of all, when I saw it was a Jamaican fusion place I was expecting to see Jamaicans working there but there weren't. Maybe it is Jamaican owned but I'm not sure. Anyhow, I ordered two pasta dishes that seemed highly recommended either on Yelp or even on the menu. My husband and I were going to share both dishes. When the Chicken Montego Bay came, it smelled very strong to me but I am pretty sensitive to smells so I didn't think anything of it. However when I ate it, it was not a good bite. The only flavor note I enjoyed was the pineapple but I didn't think it was a tasty bite. I ate just a few more to try and could not eat it any more so I passed it to my husband. I don't know if it was the cheese that didn't taste good but I just couldn't eat it. Then the other pasta dish came, the Rasta Pasta and I was hopeful it'll be better. Not at all. It might have been worse. It just tasted weird and very sour so I could not eat much of it too. I ended up eating some of the garlic bread. It might be just me but this fusion or at least the dishes I got just didn't taste good. Sorry but I'm not going back. My husband ate his fill as he doesn't like to waste food but I just couldn't do it. read more

Craving pasta? Look no further! They have so many unique pasta options and flavors! I chose a rose sauce because I love Alfredo sauce but wanted to keep it spicy. The taste was great, and there was plenty of food, I was able to take some to go. My only drawback was that part of my food was cold... the top pieces were so cold that I thought it was sitting out before being sent to the table. The garlic bread was great too, would definitely try the appetizer next time with the bread! read more

Rasta Pasta - Dreadlocks ravioli with rose sauce and spicy sausage - Caribbean Near Me - Colorado Springs, Colorado

The food was amazing! I love my Rasta pasta! Zoey was my server and she was incredible! So nice and kind. I will be back!!!

I came upon on this family run, locally owned hidden gem restaurant while traveling through Colorado Springs. This brightly colored, reggae devoted restaurant is a one of a kind pasta place that this newbee experienced. With Caribbean/Italian flavors, meat and vegetarian choices gives the opportunity to customize each dish to your preference. I loved the "natural mystic"with its jerk chicken, curry pineapple sauce, garlic, green onions. You can request your spice level and my server said I have the option to add a dab of their Alfredo sauce if I would like. I was so glad I took his recommendation! I haven't had this combination of flavors before! (It can be made vegetarian or gluten free too if you choose!) Lunch portion is $10.95 or the dinner portion is $15.95 -where there is double the entree and a side salad included. I opted for the dinner size and took home for another meal! Bread comes with both servings. I also admired the choices of dressings available for the side salad. I went with green pepper vinegarette and it was distinctive and most delicious! My dining partners said their seafood Alfredo with a splash of rose sauce (recommended by server) was excellent. With the creative dishes it not a wonder that Guy Fiery had visited here while hosting "Drive ins and Dives." To top it, our server, Nic A. demonstrated what superior service is all about. His positive energy and super communication skills made our late lunch a memorable one! read more

Oh my pasta was this place good! We sat outside on the patio where heaters are provided if it's chilly out. I ordered the Rum Punch which was delicious albeit very sweet. The seafood Alfredo and the chicken Montego Bay were wonderful! And the garlic bread served as a side was incredible! Definitely give this place a try if visiting Colorado Springs! They have both lunch and dinner portions with lunch being a few dollars cheaper. Still a huge amount of food! read more

My family, and I thought that every single dish was delicious!

We highly recommend this restaurant for any occasion. read more

We have been to Rasta Pasta many times when visiting and really enjoy their food, so we were glad to visit again after our recent move to Colorado Springs. The smell of garlic and Caribbean spices when you enter is mouthwatering. The staff is always friendly and we were seated immediately. We started with iced tea and the dipping bread with spicy Caribbean curry sauce. My husband decided on the Dreadlock Ravioli with jerk chicken and I ordered a side salad because I knew the bread and curry sauce were going to fill me up. The good-sized bowl of curry dipping sauce (Jamaican curry with hints of pineapple and spice)Was accompanied by six slices of toasted garlic French bread. It was incredibly tasty! Before we finished the bread, our main dishes were delivered. My husband's ravioli looked and smelled delicious - a large bowl of cheese-filled pasta swimming in chunky tomato-paste-like sauce with large chunks of shredded jerk chicken. My husband loved it! (The sauce is a bit too tomato-y for me, but he adores it.) The pasta was accompanied by yet another slice of toasted, perfectly garlicky bread. A great lunch deal!!! My small side salad (only three dollars) was full of fresh lettuce and tomatoes and I had the Citrus Spice dressing on the side. The dressing was wonderful and the salad was tasty. Since we still had curry sauce left after finishing our bread, I asked for a small order of bread (only one dollar) and ate the rest of the sauce as my dessert! Our waitress was wonderful and kept our teas filled and was always timely and friendly. We'll be back!! read more

Rasta Pasta - Dippin' Bread with Caribbean Curry Sauce - Caribbean Near Me - Colorado Springs, Colorado

Yikes. Overall, a bad experience, but their dipping bread with the Caribbean curry sauce was the only redeeming part. The sauce was delicious -- super creamy and flavorful. I ordered the chicken Montego bay pasta and it was just..awful. The flavors did not mesh well together and was just so depressing to eat. My friend ordered the spaghetti and meatballs (which should be hard to mess up right?) and he couldn't take more than a couple of bites, it was so bad. I'm not sure if the chef just had a bad day, but based on this experience, I'd stay far away. read more

Every time we go into Rasta Pasta, I am always pleased. Their food is great and their service is top notch. I love the theme of the store and how their meals and atmosphere match that "Rasta" theme. They even support other businesses and events going on as their front windows are covered in posters with stuff going on around town! We love Rasta Pasta! read more

4 or 5 stars???? This was a tough decision but I don't want to hurt Rasta Pasta because all was 5 stars except for one thing. The atmosphere is what you would expect in a Rasta restaurant: speakers covering a wall and Rasta music - thankfully not too loud, the wait staff friendly, the portions huge (we took home half our meals even though they were lunch portions), and one of our dinners delicious. The seafood Alfredo was so tasty but that was my husband's. I ordered the spicy jammin'. I love Jamaican food and have a recipe that uses a tablespoon of Cajun seasoning but this was too much Cajun seasoning or it should have been balanced with something to cut it. A bit of Parmesan helped. Maybe more cayenne for a bit more spice would have been nice. The shrimp in the dish was soooo good! Perfectly cooked, fresh, and a bit of a crunch. Strangely, when I asked for help on another site as to how to grade, even though I had not mentioned the name of the restaurant, the first person to respond said she felt that way about Rasta Pasta. read more

Caribbean and Italian fusion... I never would've imagined those two together, but it worked for me! Funky and fun Caribbean decor. Lots of color and big Bob Marley murals everywhere. Also saw that this place was featured on diners, drive-ins and dives so that's cool too. We ordered the 2 most popular pasta dishes recommended by the server. The Pasta Rasta and Montego Bay. Unique combination of flavors in each of the dishes, but good. I preferred the Montego Bay because it had lots of vegetables in it and the sauce is creamy. The pasta Rasta dish was a little spicy, but not too much. Also the garlic bread appetizer with marinara was amazing! Our server was nice and helpful too. The portion sizes are huge so we had plenty leftovers to take home! Lunch tomorrow! read more

Overall great vibe as they have great music playing, very clean inside & the waitresses were friendly & quick with checking up on us. 3/5 because their regular pasta w/margarita sauce was pretty watery & just not super refreshing, was $11 bucks too for some watered down pasta. The other pasta we got though, was pretty delicious & not watery at all, loved the immense amount of shrimp they gave us! Unfortunately their drinks aren't that great as our Jack & coke was way too watered down to enjoy. Spent about $40 bucks on the 2 pastas & 1 Jack & coke on the side. Wish our one pasta tasted better & the beverage but with the good energy the place has, would come back to try other dishes. read more
