Friendly staff, restaurant has front and back so bigger than you'd think. Lots of collectibles on the wall. Loud, family style restaurant. Portions are big. Had the angry shrimp and pork wonton appetizer. Lot of sour cream in the wontons. No dipping sauce for those. Dipping sauce for angry shrimp not too spicy . Had the beef ravioli, large serving. Got the tomato sauce and it was good. Pasta sachettini had a thinner sauce than expected, needed a bit more salt/seasoning, shrimp don't perfectly. Added wine and the price went up - almost $80 with tip- two entrees, and two glasses of wine. Filling. Good company. read more

Very nice staff confirmed take out to your car is still available. One of my favorite places to go in this area read more

The Pasta House - Lobster Ravioli $24 creamy tarragon sauce with Asparagus Very good - Pizza Near Me - Kinde, Michigan

We have been to Kinde's Pasta House many times over the years and have never had a disappointing meal. I highly recommend the Seafood Saccettini. The dish is one of a kind, and there is plenty to share. The portions are generous. This is a great place to come to a large party, with plenty of seating in the back. They also have a private dining area for private functions. Service can be touch and go. The Pasta House has often offered a young person their first job. So be kind and tip well. read more

The Pasta House - Pizza Near Me - Kinde, Michigan

I'll tell you what I've never had a bad slice of pizza there I had a Cuban Italian sandwich there on rye bread that was to die for that I would suggest anybody they have a whole other building that is just old style arcade and nostalgia you can rent out their banquet hall for special events and their inside seating for the restaurant is huge I haven't had the pasta there yet but I read it every time we go there for lunch and I just imagine how good it probably is it's the only restaurant in Kinde but considering how fire it is every time I've been there there's no need for another restaurant The TVs might not be on when you go there but everything that's on the walls will keep your eyes dazzling while you wait for your food fantastic service fantastic food fantastic restaurant Don't got one bad thing to say about that place and also for you history buffs it used to be a bank read more

The Laker class of 1970 recently had our class reunion at the Pasta House. Kevin was very helpful and accommodating in our planning. The food was excellent, I have had classmates rave over the food we were served. The room was spacious and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend using them for future events. Thank you for making our reunion a great success. read more

We've been patrons of The Pasta House for more than 35 years. The food is excellent, the service is quick and friendly and the prices are very reasonable. Highly recommend! read more

This is a very nice clean restaurant in Kinde, Michigan not far from Caseville, Michigan. The little town celebrates Polish days because it has a polish population. I always laugh because the town has a population of around 500 people so they might need to do some recruiting or Polish days might disappear eventually. LOL The polish platter has sausage and pirogies. I must admit i am not entirely sure what they eat because i have only seen a few Polish restaurants in Metro Detroit. The lasagna was excellent and on par with many of the big name Italian restaurants in Metro Detroit. A local produce stand we seen nearby with a cash box you pay for by leaving the money in a total self service business. Definitely couldn't do that in many places in Michigan. This is actually a pasta house and they serve pretty good Italian dishes and the pizza isn bad at all. You always have to remember when you are in a tiny town that its not Manhattan or Detroit and you are lucky a restaurant is even available. Definitely will go back and try more of the menu. People in small towns are so friendly and welcoming. Its a farming community and they couldn't be kinder. read more

Met up with a couple of friends that reside nearby. A total throwback mom and pop diner. Seems like not much has changed inside in decades. Went with something I rarely eat - meatball sub. Was huge and very tasty. Came with some chips. Waitress was very efficient- kept pop refill's coming. Small town atmosphere. read more

My companion and I recently dined at The Pasta House, and will do so again, which prompted me to offer some advice to help the staff in the future. Previous meals have always been great, but the lasagna was a minor disappointment. Although the meal was tasty, it differed greatly from our perception of what lasagna should look like. Any pictures of lasagna entail layers of wide noodles separated by meat, sauce, and/or cheese. The meal, however, was not even close. This critique is meant to be positive, to suggest a reassessment of the recipe and its presentation. Again, we will definitely dine there in the future. read more

Price is reasonable Food is excellent service is great what more do you need to know. From pizza to soup or pasta. I enjoy the lasagna. Too read more

Outstanding hidden gem in Kinde Michigan. I had a Rueben. My wife had the seafood manicotti. Both were delicious. The Italian vegetable soup was very good. Very friendly. Fair prices. This place is hidden away in a nowhere tiny town 8 miles from Port Austin but definitely worth the stop. We'll visit again on our next trip to Port Austin read more

This place is considered a hidden gem kinda place. The staff we super friendly and the service was quick. The fresh made bread was delicious and I would return just for the bread. However the rest of the food was... meh. We had pickle chips which besides the bread were the highlight of the meal. We also ordered pizza (meh) and pesto Alfredo pasta which was also meh. Would I go back... maybe if I were in the area but I don't think I'd ever seek them out or find myself craving some pasta house. read more

I still use the curbside service! So handy. Excellent food and friendly service at the curb and inside too! Have enjoyed eating here for many years. Always great! Thank you Pasta House! read more

I just love the food at The Pasta House and great service! Plus it is my favor Pizza in Huron County! They can host small parties and weddings! read more

Their food is amazing and the service is spectacular! I recommend the lasagna and spaghetti.

Why did I not think to get a picture of this deliciousness . Probably for that word alone. The food was so good we ate it all up. We had chicken parmigiana, a blt sub, loaded fries , meatball sub and it was all excellent. Don't pass this place by .. be sure to stop and pick up some of the best pasta and food around. read more

Well dang this is a little gem in the middle of nowhere! The service and food was fresh and homemade thank you.

Pasta was a little over cooked, everything else was decent. Gotta remember this is in the middle of tim buck two, it's Kinde...exactly It's hard to find good food in the thumb. My alfredo wasn't bad and i enjoyed the fresh baked bread and the fresh salad. Service was great, and the interior was decorated with 50's memorabilia, some beer advertising, a little bit of Elvis, Dean, Marilyn, John Wayne etc... The front section had all kinds of memorabilia, and they even had a banquet hall right next door. While we were there a wedding party actually walked through our dining room into the banquet section, we were watching them get their food from buffet they had set up. Dinner and a show...Bonus It was decent nothing to get excitited about, but maybe for up here it is. read more

We came here after our first choice was closed and am I glad it was! This food is made with love and you can tell. It is super delicious! Homemade fried pickles, these things called dough balls, the amazing pasta selection , honestly was literally the best! And our waitress Liz was SO KIND! We will be back before we go home and will definitely be making this a routine stop! Thank you!!! read more

This place is great. The Italian food is fantastic and they had a very broad menu. The service was great and very friendly. It is clean inside. It is a real gem out in the middle of the country and will definitely come back when we're in the area. read more

Me and the wife ate here. It was phenomenal. We both got the seafood pasta. It was a healthy portion. On the side i had the pasta salad. It was great also. We tried the jalapeno dip as a side, and it was a hit. And finally the bread and service was great. Super friendly. Will be back again. read more

Love this family run community conscious restaurant and banquet facility. Good food all day, great pizza and wonderful Italian. These people founded and run the annual Kinde Polkafest in September. Don't miss it! Check out the website! read more

Calamari was freshly prepared and not overly breaded, cooked perfectly to be tender and not chewy. Pizza was excellent! The crust was tender but had a crunchy bottom, the "handle" wasn't too big and the remainder wasn't too thick. The sauce had small bits of tomato in it still and had a great balanced flavor without being too spicy. Toppings were chopped finely and distributed evenly so you got a mix of your toppings. The cannoli had a filling that was a great balance of the ricotta and cream. The shell was crispy with just a hint of cinnamon. Far and away the best meal we've had all weekend in our Thumb of Michigan trip!!! Worth the drive down from Port Austin! We'll be back! read more

I have been coming to the thumb area sense 1980 and I have always known about this place, just never tried it out. Today I have finally decided to give this place a try, and I'm happy that I did. I've been missing out on some really good food. We had ordered one meal, and split it (had ice cream prior) because we wernt that hungry. They split the meal on 2 plates for us, and we were not able to finish, the portions are good size. We order the chicken tortellini in creamy mushroom marsala sauce, the sauce had a lot of flavor. This is so far the best place to eat eat in the thumb area. We will definitely be back. The server was very friendly and helpful. read more

Pasta house was a good meal in a nice quant little thumb town. The food was good, but not spectacular, the service the same. I had the lasagne which was a pretty hearty portion and the kids all had spaghetti. Everything was tasty and I'd definitely come back again, but nothing stuck out as a must order item. The negative of the trip had to be the complete and total lack of cell coverage in downtown Kinde - it made for a nice electronics free dinner though. read more

Best meal we had all weekend. I would say this is the finest restaurant in Michigan's thumb area! read more

I had a group of 17 people , I made a reservation and the put us in there back room. The service was fantastic!!! The food was even better. I would rate this place​ as a 5 star. They got us served and out the door in 1.5 hours. read more

What a gem this place has turned out be!!!!! They've got it all from appetizers to pizza and a bit of booze. We will be making this a normal place to go. read more

What an amazing surprise! Honestly, the best pasta I have had in a long time and delicious warm bread!! I had the seafood signature dish (which I highly recommend), my son had the pizza, and my parents shared the whole slab rib special. The seafood dish had cheese filled tender pasta with shrimp, scallops, and crab covered in a delish alfredo tarragon sauce with asparagus. It was so good and plentiful!! The pizza was yummy- great crust! My parent's ribs were meaty and just fell off the bone. I was so excited and happy to leave with leftovers!! But, it wasn't just the food that was great- the service was amazing too. Everything came so fast and with a great smile. I moved away from Michigan 13 years ago and have been in some highly rated, downtown, west coast restaurants and they don't come close to this place in both food and service. The Pasta House's humble midwestern awesomeness definitely made me miss home! I am planning a trip back in a few months and this place will be on my mind for sure! Nice job and thank you Pasta House! read more

Great service! The salads and soups were wonderful and main dishes (lasagna) were ok. Exceeded my expectations for this sized town.

Went there with my niece. The pizza were frozen microwaved squares. The Pesto sauce was not home made and way too much of it. The service was ok and the atmosphere was nice however. Would not go back read more

Terrific grilled chicken salad, onions mushrooms shredded carrots slice ham cheese and of course lettuce and grilled chicken piled high for so if you're low carbin it dont be scared off by the name of this place. the pizza is very good as well as the pasta, so you have options. read more

Just your average restaurant. Nothing spectacular but definitely not bad. We will be back.

Amazing food! Have to eat here alot every summer. The seafood fetuccini is the best! A great, friendly atmosphere as well.

Terrible, went last night for dinner. Special for the night was prime rib. It was awful they need to stick to making pasta, at $18.99 if you dont know how to make something well you should never make it a special of the day!!! Very, Very disappointed. Will be awhile before we give it a try again... read more

I really like this place. It has quality Italian food and the best sauce around. I tried the Italian vegetable soup yesterday and that was delicious. My family got the Cajun chicken Alfredo pasta and they really liked it. They also had an antipasto salad that was huge and they really liked that. You get huge portions and I think one meal can work for two people. The service was okay, we had to wait a little long for drinks and it seemed that lime in order to get a pop refill you had to ask for it. The other thing I didn't get was the 50's diner feel for such a great Italian restaurant. But it is very clean and has a nice big back room to fit large groups. read more

Ate here last week with a party of 15 for dinner. For about the 5th year in a row. The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is because half of the meals were served far enough before the rest that some of us were almost done before others were served. Appetizers and drinks were served promptly. We all had a good time. Food quality was excellent. The pasta is so tender and well balanced with sauce. Highly recommend the calamari app. It puts Olive Garden or anyone else to shame. The pizza is great. Wish I could get pizza like that here in Novi, MI. We had an awesome waitress who described every dish spot on. The only thing I can add is don't order the veal. That has been the only dish that anyone in my family was not happy with. Atmosphere is fun and friendly, and the servers contribute so much to that. read more
