Food was gross. Cold calamari no lemon, no flavors in sauces, Alfredo tasted canned and rancid. Would not refund, but said I had to reorder. I got spaghetti it wasn't good either. Do not waste your money here.

I’ve been a fan of The Pasta Market for many years but I haven’t been there in over 10 years. I was pleased to see the prices were still very affordable and reasonable, and they they had the same great dishes. I got half ravioli and have spaghetti in clam sauce, but it made me sick ?. I was in the bathroom all night and I know it was that sauce because that was literally all I had to eat that day. The breadsticks and cheese dip is still on point and I’m not afraid to eat there again but maybe that clam sauce just want right for me.

The meatballs were large and tasty - a great value for the meatball sandwich. Both cashier and manager were gracious and quite helpful. Absolutely recommend!

So underrated! Such delicious pasta and a cute little shop with other Italian. The meat ravioli is absolutely delightful, with real meat inside!! You can pick your own sauce and fresh pasta. The tiramisu and Caesar salad are also both above average and affordable. The seating is seat yourself and cute white table cloths. So much food I couldn’t finish it all. Good for families, local dates. They need more business it is so delicious

The place was great! Very classic Italian food, no nonsense! The flavours are really delicious. May not be the most visually appealing, but the taste was definitely there!We had the meat ravioli in spicy mushroom sauce, the meat lasagna, Caesar salad, garlic bread and tiramisu! Portions were large, each portion was plenty for 2! The tomato sauce is a big litmus test for me for Italian restaurants, and this tomato sauce was the perfect balance of sweet, tangy and savoury. Never had a spicy mushroom sauce before, but it was delicious. Very hearty, perfect amount of spice, mushrooms were perfectly cooked.Everyone was very nice, service was quick. Will be coming back for sure!

I do feel that the food is really good but the service can do better I felt that one of the employees was really rude I asked for her to go container and they gave me this plastic little salad container that my food was too hot to go into they said their other to go containers or for to go orders only I asked if I can pay the difference for the plastic microwavable to go container and she said no

I used to buy their packaged meat tortellini and braised beef ravioli for years. In the last months I noticed that quality has sensibly decreased while prices has not, of course.I found that tortellini are now almost empty. They used to be really well made and decently filled. No more unfortunately.For what concerns braised beef ravioli, lately it has happened more than once that in a package two or three were completely empty, just like two layers of pasta with nothing inside (keep in mind that in a package there used to be 18 ravioli, so 2 or 3 is not a negligible amount). In addition to that, the last time I bought them I noticed that the price has gone up to $16.95 (and the count dropped to 17 even tho the weight is probably the same, I haven't checked)! IIRC a few months ago they costed $10.95/lb, so that's a huge increase.I'll no longer buy my pasta there. It's a shame as it used to be really great (and I'm sure the restaurant side of it still is but I never ate there) and the people working there are amazing.

Stopped by for a quick lunch because the other restaurant that we were planning to go had closed. I guess this happened for a good reason ?They do offer a wide variety of options in the menu. The serving size is pretty big and we probably over ordered a bit but ended up wasting lots of the food.If you are an olive person, the green ones are just amazing. Full of flavor and very tasty.Ordered a veg sandwich and a pasta dish.They also have beer and wines.Overall a great lunch experience. Definitely to be tried if you live nearby nor are in the neighborhood.

Lots of food for a great price!!! If you're looking for a casual Italian place this is it. Tortalini carbonara was a little salty but that's my only complaint. Dessert was great as well. ??

I decided to gave them 3 start because the place is dirty and the service is bad. They hung up on me many times and when I was dining in I watched them answer the phone and then right away close it. When I told them about the phone they laughed it off. The food though is good and decent.

Been coming here for decades, never thought to post a review. I tend to go for the same item year after year. Chicken angel hair pomodori, salad, garlic bread. Might not sound exciting, but it’s the singular dish that keeps me coming back again and again. The service can be inconsistent, but the food is solid.

It's a low-key place with great food and service. I took my kids to get some pasta here, and they loved the place as much as some of the more expensive places in South Bay. Will visit again for sure!
