    Bolognese (meat Sauce) Gluten-free and Cheesecake Slice

    The manager was super nice and got me my free birthday pasta and cheese cake Togo. Quick and sweet service. Kinda quiet their for lunch but no biggy for me I was in and out fast.

    Rolls and famous salad
    Monica M.

    Stopped by on a gorgeous evening to sit on their patio and have dinner. They were pretty dead on a weeknight. We sat down and ordered- I got the chicken flamingo unbreaded with broccoli- this also comes with a salad and fresh rolls. My boyfriend got the chicken parm with pasta with red sauce. The rolls were fresh and delicious and the salad was perfect as always. The food came out quickly and was done perfectly. Service was also really great. We even texted a number for a free order of cheesy garlic bread and it was delicious. Had no issues reminding our waitress to take it off our bill either which seems to always be an issue at restaurants. Was pleasantly surprised by the quality of service and the food timeliness. Had a great time and will definitely be back. Food Taste - 9/10 Food Value - 9/10 Service- 10/10

    Linguine with chicken livers
    Dave P.

    Chicken liver linguine was on point. Service was decent. Salad was perfect. I talked to the manager and he told me Brandon was the cook who made my food. Just a shout out to Brandon - my food made me smile. Nice work - and perfect amount of garlic in that dish.

    Cheese Garlic Bread

    Pretty surprised to see so many 1 star ratings here. Thankfully, I disagree. Stopped by during the lunch hour and we were promptly seated. Their lunch menu has a great variety of options and reasonably priced. Excited to see the offer for a free garlic cheese bread if you opt in for text coupons...well, yes I will. I've been a longtime fan of Pasta House, but I don't visit very often. The rolls came out hot and fresh, melted the butter easily. Full order of the free cheese garlic bread and it did not disappoint. I opted for the lunch size (2 piece) Cannelloni and my friend got the lasagna, which more appeared to be the dinner size. All the flavors were great, everything was fresh and hot. Why the 3 stars you ask? Well, because it's Pasta House, it's a chain and for me that's a solid 3.5, but there's no .5 on the rating scale. At any rate, I'd come again.

    I eat at various Pasta House locations all over St Louis pretty regularly. I met my O'Fallon friend for a quick Sunday lunch at this location which I had never been to before. At midday there were only about 2-3 tables occupied. When I walked in the servers and the manager were all congregated around a dining table in the dining room. I ended up ordering the Rigatoni Roma lunch special with no mushrooms. The salad was cool crisp and fresh. It was an excellent version of Pasta House salad. My pasta was kind of a hot mess. The rigatoni was over cooked. The sauce was thin and watery. I don't generally complain or send food back so I just kind of sat there. It's unfortunate the food was this bad when they weren't busy. I can't imagine what it would be like if they were actually busy.

    Pros: * Huge portions - specifically the special on Mondays: All You Can Eat * Warm bread - nothing special, but crisp on the outside and warm on the inside, served with real butter (or margarine, if you prefer) * I asked for my salad dressing on the side and got a whole bottle of Pasta House Italian Dressing with it, instead of just a little cup Cons: * Overcooked pasta - a huge no, no in my book * Super s-l-o-w food delivery * Sweet red sauce - not my personal favorite, though some people prefer it to a saltier concoction * Mom's salad, pre-dressed, seemed a bit overdressed and kind of soggy; made super early in the day and sitting around for a while was my guess * I had to ask three times to get the music lowered: we were RIGHT under a speaker. I love the 80s, but wowza. I asked our server twice, then waited about five minutes after the second time and finally, just walked up to the manager after not hearing any difference. It was then resolved immediately. I know that will come across as minor and nit-picky to some, but it's thoroughly annoying when you have to talk loudly over it. There was only one section open and there were about 10 tables with about two people each. So, not too full for it to be that loud, imho. I'm in my early 40s, btw. It's not like I don't like listening to 80s tunes cranked up sometimes, but, ya know, not during lunch with my mom! It reminds me of those trendy clothing stores with the pulsating music spilling out, the ones that make you feel like you're walking in to a club, versus going in to try on some jeans... But I digress. The place was neat and clean. We were greeted and seated by the manager right away. Our server was pleasant, but it seemed she may have been a bit overwhelmed when we first got there. The drinks came quickly, but getting used plates, napkins, etc. off the table wasn't her first priority. We moved them to the edge, as is the typical pick-up signal, but she came and left the table a few times before taking them to the kitchen. They may have been down a busser? Either way, overall, it wasn't terrible, but it was nothing to write home about. I wouldn't likely go again.

    Food with piece of metal.

    The hot rolls are always yummy, their house salad is very good and so are the pasta dishes, however, it's overpriced.

    Given my previous rave review, it might seem strange that this follow-up is going to be so bad, but…read morethis place is really floundering. We will NEVER be back. My husband and I had dinner there last night for a special occasion. We were immediately a little freaked out by a male waiter who appeared to be bouncing off the walls, as if he was on crack. At one point, he almost fell into our table, and all I could think was, "please, please, don't let this be our waiter." Guess what. He was. He never introduced himself, but he acted like he thought he was onstage at a comedy club. He was just getting a massive kick out of what he apparently thinks is a personality, but all I could think is that this place clearly doesn't test for drugs. Since we were celebrating an occasion, we asked to start with a bottle of Chardonnay. After an unacceptable wait time, he brought me a single glass of Chardonnay and loudly declared it, "a generous pour." I had to remind him that we had ordered a bottle. Despite the fact that he never once introduced himself, we were able to learn his name from our check when he brought it, and his manager and coworkers will know exactly who he is from my description. Brother, I am not going to divulge your name here, but please call someone. Get some help. Please. He has what sounds to me to be a strong southern accent. I'm from Alabama, and I felt like I was back home, in the worst possible way. He has no concept of how to be a waiter, but he sure is impressed with himself and his schtick. Think Jeff Foxworthy - "you might be a redneck" - but without any of the charm. He's just loud, obnoxious, and incompetent. He practically hangs from the chandeliers. Again, we were celebrating a special occasion, and our waiter (let's call him M) eventually did figure out how to bring us a bottle of wine - which tasted off, with a vague aftertaste of olives, of all things. Then he dashed off, because there were clearly customers there who were far more important than us. He had ZERO interest in providing us service. He was hyperfocused on the large table that they were anticipating - clearly someone was having a party. That doesn't mean that my husband and I didn't deserve basic service. We were celebrating something too. We just weren't quite so ostentatious about it. I ordered the seafood ravioli, and my husband ordered spaghetti with one meatball. Neither meal came with a salad, but M seemed to desperately want my husband to have one, so he finally said, "fine, bring me the salad." Again, the wait time was downright silly, but M eventually brought him the salad, and then acted as if he had screwed up by not also bringing me a salad plate (I hadn't asked for one and didn't want one). According to my husband, the salad that nobody wanted (and that we had to pay extra for) was edible, but nothing special. Finally, our entrees came. The menu described the seafood ravioli as "Large ravioli noodles filled with lobster, shrimp, and scallops, served in a rich, creamy sauce with mushrooms, clams, and garlic." Sure, if you say so. What I actually got was CHEESE ravioli in a cream sauce that somehow managed to be both bland and overwhelming - quite a feat! The cheese smell was so strong it was nauseating. I did manage to find a few clams in the sauce, but it was nothing like what the menu had promised, and there wasn't even the slightest hint of seafood in the ravioli stuffing. If lobster, shrimp, or scallops were involved, I saw no sign of it. The few clams I managed to find in the sauce were the only hint that this was supposed to be a seafood dish. It was quite some time before M bothered to acknowledge us again, so when he finally did check on us, I explained that my dish was inedible. His demeanor changed completely, and from then on, he barely acknowledged us, and when he did, he was rude. He didn't apologize for the bad food. He didn't ask if I'd like anything else. He just walked away with my barely-touched food, clearly pissed, and he couldn't resist making a snide comment about having to ask his manager if he could take it off the bill, because he didn't have the authority to do it on his own (I hadn't asked him to). The manager didn't bother to say anything to us, and M barely spoke to us again. I went home hungry. Some celebration. At this point, I just wanted out of this place, so as soon as my husband finished his food, we were out of there as fast as we could move. What we had hoped would be a pleasant celebratory dinner, ended up being, hands-down, my worst restaurant experience ever, and we will NEVER be back.

    Everything was ok. Not the best, not the worst. I'd return. We had a screaming kid next to us…read more Definitely parents issue, not restaurants fault!

    We hosted a gathering in the private room for a special event, and it was a wonderful experience…read more The service was attentive, and the ambience was warm and inviting. The restaurant used nice dishes, linens and place settings for each table. We ordered the lasagna and wings for the group, and everyone raved about how delicious they were. The food, service, and atmosphere made our event truly enjoyable. Highly recommend for private gatherings! There was an issue with their card machine so hoping that gets repaired is my only feedback.

    We found this hidden gem recently and really enjoyed our experience. It's retro with 70-90's decor…read more The food was good. Had the cheese curds with ranch and they just melted in your mouth. I don't know what cheese they use but they were one of the top ranked cheese curds I have ever had (I've had a lot of cheese curds). The Ravioli looked homemade, which is good. The red sauce for them was the best I've had! I usually never use the red sauce but I actually chose it over ranch - what? Yeah. The Cajun Pasta was great with just the right spice. The Seafood Cannelloni was very good, very hot (they are not kidding) and the sauce was very thick. It was almost like gravy consistently. It tasted great but I am not 100% sure I am on board since I usually like it a little thinner. All in all the seasoning on everything was great, the staff is super nice with a family owned vibe (that's good) and cool decor to reminisce. I plan on coming back and bringing my family. It's definitely worth checking out and trying more dishes.

    Wow! What a dinning experience! First time at Noto and was completely blown away, first; the…read moreservice ( Haven was her name) was awesome. Such a positive vibe from the start. Very freindly and professional at the same time lots of fun. Made dining very comfortable. The atmosphere is very nice ( a little loud when packed). The food was AMAZING. ( not unlike Haven). From the starter to pizza and the pasta , was delicious. Came in expecting expensive itialian food but was so refreshing to find this different and delicious variety and the flavors, how they paired together so well. This was what I have been needing and didn't know it ! Got me excited about food again. I look forward to returning and trying what's next! I know I will be pleased. If you crave diff, better,and service that is above and beyond make sure you make a reservation at Noto. Well worth every penny and not pricey for the kind of food and dinning experience you will have. If I could give it 6 stars I would give it seven if you know what I mean. Highly recommend trying Noto. You won't regret it. And I recommend asking for Haven if you can. She was great! I must mention again as well, the food was awesome!! Definitely needed something fresh and different from the same old same old. And I heard the menu is about to change ! I can't wait to try it.GREAT JOB !!
