My husband had the Spaghetti and Meatballs, and I had the Capelini Pomodoro. Both were excellent, and so delicious! Our server was so nice too! Highly recommend!

Honestly, we selected the Pasta Cafe Italian Bistro purely for the sign above the front entrance. The interior is quaint but can easily accommodate larger parties. The menu offers a combination of traditional Italian cuisine as well as fusion versions of traditional dishes. I opted for the traditional lasagna with a side ceasar salad. The salad was fresh with crisp lettuce and coated with the perfect combination of dressing and cheese. I don't think I could ever express how utterly delicious the lasagna was. While I admit the presentation was weak, the flavors were perfectly balanced. The sauce had the perfect blend of Italian spices to bring out the tang of the tomato, without being overly sweet. The noodles, cheese and beef were evenly dispersed throughout the portion. My biggest regret is that I won't be here tomorrow to order it again. For dessert, definitely the Tiramisu. The lady fingers while soaked were not so saturated as to be soggy. The espresso accent was milder than many other versions I have had and this low key flavor was a great accent tothe mascarpone.

I dined here three times during my 3 week stay in Roswell. I had the Ravioli Enchiladas the first time and it was amazing! Cheese raviolis topped with a New Mexico style sauce made for such a flavorful dish! The garlic butter rolls went really well with it. I believe my servers name was Lacie and she did a fantastic job making sure I had everything I needed. The second time I had the Green Chile Filet. That was also an amazing dish! Cooked to a perfect medium rare throughout and topped with a delicious green chile bernaise sauce. Magnificent! Since the filet was so awesome I tried the Blackened Ribeye on my third visit there. I know this is an Italian restaurant but I thought I had stumbled upon a great steakhouse as well. Unfortunately the ribeye had a lot of grisly parts and it wasn't very tender for being a ribeye. I wish I had more time to try out the other New Mexico/Italian fusion dishes which of course is very unique to Roswell.

The food was terrible.

We sat at the bar. Bartender was super sweet and made good drinks. Lovely ambience, staff seemed professional, very adult atmosphere.

I ordered the porcini ribeye and the wife got the green chile filet. Look… maybe it’s my own fault for going to a pasta place and not ordering pasta, but the food was awful. Low quality ingredients. The ribeye was very thin and not trimmed properly so every bite was white fat and gristle. There were no actual mushrooms on the steak although the menu said there should be. The mashed potatoes were fake, super processed out of a box. And they only give you a little ice cream scoop of them. The veggies were undercooked and under seasoned. And they were cold. Of our two plates the only thing that got eaten was the filet and it was mediocre.

I had a drink and the wife had two. We split a salad and each got a steak. The bill came out to a hundred dollars. I only ate a couple bites of the steak, a bite of mashed potatoes, and a couple pieces of the veggies. I left hungry. I had to come home and make dinner for us. When the bartender came to collect our plates and saw that most of the food was still on the plates, she asked if we didn’t enjoy our dinners. In a friendly way, I told her the food quality was not good and nothing on the plate was really edible. She was clearly embarrassed, but not surprised. There was no offer to get us something else and we didn’t ask. Will not return.

Very disappointing overall.

The chicken piccata was good, and the accompanying pasta was very good. My wife very much enjoyed the lasagna also. The bread was both very good and not very good. The small parmesan dusted bread buttons were warm and fresh. The small loaf was room temp and dry.
