Pasta Restaurants near Tempe, AZ

“If you have a super picky eater in the family it can make trying new places difficult. But we ordered from The Spaghetti Shack for the first time for a school fundraiser and everyone in the family absolutely loved it and had multiple servings. The sauce was amazing! The meatballs were phenomenal! And the service was super friendly and fast. If you want something that you know everyone will enjoy, this is the place for you!“

“Spaghetti and meatballs were on point. The garlic bread complimented it just right. The meatball sandwich made for the perfect lunch the next day.“

“All amazing restaurants begin with management and staff. This place had one of the best atmospheres even before business hours. The manager on duty on 12-19-25 was friendly, cordial and helpful. I got a very positive vibe from kitchen staff. No complaining, everybody communicating well. The restroom was clean and stocked. Every restaurant serves good food. The cream of the crop restaurants serves comfort and joy! I recommend this restaurant above all other high end restaurants in the area. Great experience!“

“Orange chicken and lemon grass zoodles“

“Al Dente Adesso 🍕

Hands down the best pepperoni pizza and lasagna I’ve ever had — full of flavor, perfectly cooked, and made with love.

The owner is awesome, super friendly, and gives top-tier customer service. You feel welcomed the second you walk in.

If you’re craving quality Italian food with heart, this is the spot.“

“This is the best pizza in town, and it helps puppies. It’s a win win.“

“I'll admit, I'm addicted to Jimmy G’s! The salads and pasta are THE best! I'll visit for lunch or bring the family in so everyone can pick their own dish. The fact that they will customize any dish for you makes this place a homerun every single time I bring the family. Family hack: stop by and grab everyone’s favorite pasta or salad on the way home.“

“Good ambiance, I like the brick look. Friendly staff. Surprisingly small menu which makes it easier to choose! We sat at the bar and split wings and a small Margharita Pizza. The wings were AMAZING. Top three for me. Meaty, cooked well, and the flavor was on point. The pizza was not great. It really lacked flavor. I really wanted to like it. That all being said, we will be back to try their other pizzas. Walking through the restaurant I got to see some other dishes and they all smelled and looked so good!“

“Pomo is good! Only thing is that today when I went to eat inside, it was super hot! A/C not working? Usually it’s fresh inside but not today.“

“You want a NY style cutlet and perfect al dente pasta? This is the spot. There are numerous signs saying they decline any modification requests. When I sat down, I politely let them know I was allergic to tomato and pine nuts, a class 2+ allergic reaction so cross contamination won't cause serious issues, but that takes out most of the menu items if I don't want a bunch of mouth and throat blisters, could they either leave red sauce, or tomatoes off an item? They said one way or another they'd take care of me, and what were the details of my restrictions. I ordered the bucatini and said I wanted the milanese but also said I'd be happy with a plain cutlet if they couldn't modify the milanese, no worries, I get it. I received the bucatini with a cutlet dressed in the most flavorful and fresh lemon butter topped with fresh grated parmesan reggiano. Every part start to finish was prefect and flavorful. They accommodated my allergies without compromising on their principles. They made sure to check in and verify everything was safe for me to eat. With real food allergies it's always a gamble, especially with allergies to less common allergens, and very common ingredients, such as tomato. If the music was one notch lower volume it would have been much easier to have a conversation but I'm old and if that's what the cool kids these days are into, I'll turn up the beltones.“

“When I was in university, I often order one bowl of noodles and some meatballs from Noodles & Company for dinner. It was so cozy and delicious.
After graduation, I moved to somewhere that doesn’t have Noodles & Company, and miss the taste for a long time. Now I’m visiting Phoenix and found it has Noodles & Company, it was still amazing!
BTW, the employees are so friendly! It made my day 🥰“

“To go’s and take out as of now“

“The pizza is amazing especially if you like NY style pizza. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. I was able to add jalapenos to my sausage and pepperoni 🍕 without any fuss or bizarre price hike. He only downside is the 1 bathroom they have for guest which does not have a supply air in it which makes the bathroom very hot and uncomfortable during the summer months!“

“I enjoyed the garden pesto and added lobster because, why not! I got the regular size and it was the right size. I think the smaller size would have been to small for my hunger. But you could make it a combo so there's that.The balance of olive oil and pesto was perfect. All the fresh vegetables...so good. They should include a free Italian bread slice to sop up the leftovers. ? So happy to discover your restaurant.“
