    Create Your Own Pasta - Veggie noodles, Marinara sauce, Tofu
    Autumn M.

    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!

    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.

    Rasta Pasta (vegan)

    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!

    Pastas are delicious and really filing! Love that you can "customize" your spice level and they do have sauces on the table that are delicious. Fun causal spot!

    Natural Mystic

    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!

    Chicken Montego Bay
    Serene C.

    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.

    Dreadlocks ravioli with rose sauce and spicy sausage
    Abby T.

    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!

    My family, and I thought that every single dish was delicious! My husband ordered the Montego Bay, my daughter ordered the Spicy jammin, and I had the Dreadlock Ravioli with sausage, all three were fantastic! Connie was our server, and she went above and beyond with providing us with stellar service. We also loved the ambience, as it reminded us of being back home on the Beachside. We highly recommend this restaurant for any occasion.

    Side salad with green pepper vinegarette
    Diane M.

    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!

    *this is only for drinks*…read more I will say, I've been to Stellina in Northern Virginia and the food there was fantastic. But I haven't tried anything at this location. What I did try was the stellina spritz flight. So that's what I'll be reviewing! For $10 during HH, you can try 3 of Stellina's spritzes. The classic aperol, blackberry ginger, and lemon lime. All of which were so delicious and well balanced. And for $10, this is a great deal! I believe $12 usually. Now I like a classic aperol (they just call it the Stellina) spritz, but it's fun to try some different flavors! The second best is lemon lime and I'd say my third choice is blackberry ginger. But they're all good and you can't go wrong. So here's the thing--this place is more of a place and order and sit. Less of a restaurant with full service. I don't mind it! The patio was super nice and covered, but the sun still came through. On a nice day, I loved it. But we ordered and then it was all brought to our table pretty quick. Again, it's drinks so I don't know how fast the food comes, but everyone seemed content around us. I can't wait to come back for happy hour again and also just to enjoy the vibes and try their entrees and pizza.

I've heard people rave about this place for years and I'm so glad I finally got to try it! I git the pea and pancetta risotto (which the young woman packing up my good for me said is the best thing on the menu!) and the rigatoni with the tomato sauce and a meatball (polpetta and mozzarella is the name). Both were really yummy- my husband and I shared them. The homemade pasta really made a difference- it was so good! I found the chew of the pasta absolutely perfect. The flavor of the pasta dish was mild but delicious. The risotto was flavorful (maybe a little too salty) and very comforting. The portions looked a little small for the price but it's high quality food and we were both fully satisfied. They have a happy hour special for buy one get one small scoops of their homemade gelato (yay!) and that was delicious too. I got the mint stracciatella and my husband had the pistachio- both were top notch. The restaurant didn't seem to have air conditioning and was very very warm. I would have been grumpy if I was dining in. They do have some outside picnic tables and maybe a back patio too. It's super super cute and seemed very popular and a great place to meet people for dinner and drinks. The staff seemed to be working very hard. It took awhile to be served at the counter and I think they forgot to take my number to text me when my order would be ready so it felt a little confusing to know when my order would be ready and it ended up being about a half hour. There is free street parking! Overall I think this is a great quality place that I definitely want to return to!!
