This was our second visit, and we loved it! We tried the spicy chicken sandwich and some lemonade, and it was incredible. I love that they have a rotating menu, so there are always new delicious things to try. The truffles were also good, and it's clear that they have a heart to share quality homemade food with the community. They have more indoor seating than in our last visit. We look forward to coming back soon!

We ordered the cacio e pepe and the mozzarella sticks. The pasta was so sour the taste of lemon overwhelmed the dish, and unfortunately, we didn't eat it. The mozzarella sticks were great. Maybe it just wasn't the dish for us, but we most likely won't return.

A little pricey for our budget as it is fixed income. So we don't have much leeway of spending for eating out.

Pasta La Fata is one of my favorites in Columbia! The food is fresh and everything I’ve had has been delicious. And the owner is amazing too! 10/10 recommend.

As an extraterrestrial traveler exploring the culinary delights of Earth, stumbling upon a pasta restaurant was an intriguing experience. Entering the quaint establishment, I was greeted by the tantalizing aroma of freshly cooked pasta wafting through the air, captivating my olfactory senses in a delightful embrace.The interior of the restaurant was adorned with earthly decorations, which added to the ambiance of the place. As I settled into my seat, I marveled at the diverse array of pasta dishes displayed on the menu, each boasting its own unique combination of ingredients and flavors.Opting for a traditional spaghetti carbonara, I eagerly awaited the arrival of my meal. When it finally arrived, I was impressed by the presentation—a mound of perfectly cooked pasta adorned with crispy bacon, creamy sauce, and a sprinkle of grated cheese. Taking my first bite, I was transported to a realm of gastronomic bliss as the rich flavors danced across my taste buds in harmony.The texture of the pasta was exquisite, with just the right amount of al dente bite. The creamy sauce coated each strand of spaghetti with velvety smoothness, while the salty tang of the bacon added a delightful contrast. Every mouthful was a symphony of taste sensations, leaving me craving more with each bite.Overall, my visit to the pasta restaurant was an unforgettable experience. Earth's culinary prowess never ceases to amaze me, and this humble eatery showcased the artistry and passion that goes into crafting the perfect pasta dish. I departed with a newfound appreciation for this beloved earthly delicacy, eager to explore more of the planet's culinary treasures on my intergalactic journey.

The food is very good but I have to agree that my group of friends were treated in an unfriendly matter because there was 11 of us. I can confirm the most recent review since i was present. I am very saddened and disappointed because the food is actually very good.

I am truly saddened and disappointed by the treatment we received at this establishment. I had recommended this restaurant to my friends, praising its food and noting that it was a new restaurant in town. We were a group of 11 in total. Upon our arrival, the cashier treated us very poorly. She became upset with me for not notifying her in advance of our group size, even complaining that she would now lack tables for "other" customers. Her frustration was evident through constant gestures of anger; for instance, she called out our names in a rude manner when our orders were ready, accompanied by disapproving facial expressions, and handed us our receipts in a harsh manner. Her glares were unwelcoming. It seems illogical to me that a restaurant would be upset about receiving patrons; it should be the opposite. Regrettably, this was our first and last visit. Despite the quality of the food, the service was so poor that I felt deeply embarrassed in front of my friends, as I was the one who had recommended the place. Nonetheless, we left a generous tip, adhering to the principle that one should repay evil with good, as advised by the Bible.

If you are in the Columbia area, Pasta La Fata is not to be missed! Authentic, from scratch Italian food. Made with love and it shows!
I visited this awesome, quaint restaurant in the Stockyards district of Columbia, Mo. Shelly has worked so hard to bring to life her vision by selling ravioli at the farmer’s market. There’s something to be said about supporting a locally owned business that prepares their food with love and history. I visited with my cousin, Alex and his girlfriend, Brooke, and we were blown away. The portions are spot on and the food was well prepared. You have Dan the cook preparing what is made fresh. Brooke had the cacio e Pepe. My cousin and I had the special of the night which was 4 oversized tortellini’s with braised waygu shortrib. Thank you Shelly for a great experience. Support local. Go support Pasta La Fata!

Best crab ravioli I have ever tasted. Hands down. Great atmosphere, food was made fresh right in front of you. The peach Bellini was tasty, tart, full of flavor. Would 100% go back

A client gifted me a gift certificate and tiramisu. I finally made it in to spend my certificate and try some hot specials & purchase more tiramisu. I ordered a salad, 2 drinks, 2 tiramisu desserts to go and two hot dishes. I got to try an exclusive dish with imported ingredients. Everything was spectacular and delicious making it worth the high price tag.
