Pasta Pasta is one of my favorite restaurants in the area. I was there on Saturday March 16th for an afternoon lunch around 3pm. We were greeted right away and seating just as quickly. Our waitress was attentive and friendly while Anthony also provided us with the lunch menus. We shared all of our food so we could enjoy the amazing CHOCOLATE BAG!!! The space is very cozy and enjoyable and the menu options are incredible! I recommend!

Food was fresh and delicious! Service was exceptional.
We've been loyal customers of Pasta Pasta for over three decades. However, our recent experience was highly disappointing. Upon arrival, our table wasn't ready, and when one became available, it was only because another party declined it. Regrettably, the table assigned to us was uncomfortably close to the bathrooms. Despite requesting a different table, we encountered resistance from the hostess, who implied there were no alternatives, except to wait - which extended to over 30 minutes. Eventually, we were seated an hour after our reservation time. The staff appeared to be indifferent, with one server carelessly placing our food and plates on the table without any regard for presentation. Perhaps fatigue was a factor, or there was a lack of management oversight that evening.

The steak was tough and fatty; alot of grizzle. They gave us didn't beers from what we ordered and we had to ask them to replace them. The lighting was so dim they brought a candle withe the dessert menu, then took it away when we said we didn't want dessert. They said they can't sell liquor since s Church was nearby, but sild beer and wine. I notified them ahad it was for a Birthday dinner and they didn't even wish a Happy Birthday. It's not the quantity comfortable place withe good food and service that it used to be.

Very small, quaint restaurant. We came here on a weekend for dinner and didn't have to make reservations.I had the Seafood Fra Diavolo and my wife had the Blackened Chicken and Shrip. We also ordered sides of Mashed Potatoes and Sautéed Spinach. We both thought the food was okay.

I'm thoroughly confused by the good reviews for this place. Went there a few weeks ago and was totally unimpressed. The food was borderline mediocre. One dish out of the five dishes brought to the table we're OK. The rest were bland and tasteless. Whatever spices they use for their blackened chicken were either not the right spices, or it was just prepared wrong. It's almost as if they dusted the chicken with spices after it was cooked. The baked clams appetizer was mushy and had a funny taste to it. The calamari had great flavor, but was extremely chewy to the point of being inedible. The desserts were OK but the rainbow cheesecake took the prize of being the worst dessert I've ever been served on Long Island. The cheesecake part of it had zero taste to it and the cake part of it was dry. It's almost as if the piece of the cake they gave us was sitting for weeks. I took two bites and was disgusted. None of us felt well the day after. It was our first time... and last time we'll ever go. Sorry.
Our overall experience at this restaurant was quite pleasant. The staff was attentive and considerate, although the food fell slightly short of expectations. While the flavors in the Shrimp with Lump Crab & Lobster dish were enjoyable, the presentation left much to be desired as it was served in a messy manner. The Pear salad, although nicely split onto two plates, had its ingredients separated across both plates, which felt a bit odd. Fortunately, the server graciously accommodated my request to change the sides for my Filet Mignon at no extra charge, which was a nice touch. However, the plate arrived in a messy state with the steak, potatoes, spinach, and onion straws scattered all over, each item at a different temperature, with the spinach being surprisingly the hottest. This inconsistency was a bit perplexing. My companion ordered the Grilled Chicken with Fresh Mozzarella and Angel Hair pasta, which unfortunately arrived lukewarm and lacked standout flavor. The beverage experience was also hit or miss; the Pepsi was flat, and there were a couple of mishaps with spilled water during service. On a brighter note, the dessert presentation was delightful, and the taste was exquisite. The coffee was served piping hot and was thoroughly enjoyable. Despite some shortcomings, the restaurant has a charming ambiance and is evidently popular, especially on Saturdays. The staff's service was commendable, and it's advisable to make reservations for parties of four or more. Considering the total bill of $140+ for two people, we found the pricing reasonable for the location, especially during the off-season. Overall, we would rate our experience a 3.7 out of 5, factoring in all aspects. We do plan to return and would recommend it to others, hoping for a more consistent and refined dining experience next time.

We came last night for a special occasion and had our favorite cozy seat by the window (requested when booking). Bread that comes to the table is addicting, and has this buttery creamy garlic sauce on it, and hot. We started with escargots won tons and calamari with ponzu sauce. Escargots were literally like crack. Absolutely delicious. Calamari also delicious! Crisp orbs of deliciousness. My hubs had the Cajun bowties with sausage and chicken. Was good, had flavor but needed more....I had the penne with andouille sausage, chicken, shrimp, scallops. Very good flavor, could use more seafood, or bigger shrimp. Not huge deal just details. Also, there is no cocktail list, which was a little disappointing because I was really looking forward to a mixed drink but there was a large wine list and beer to choose from. Definitely would come again. Service is very pleasant as well!
My family and I and my daughter friends came by for a birthday dinner.We took the ferry from Bridgeport ct to port Jefferson. Staff was friendly and professional

What a wonderful meal! My wife and I had an amazing lunch. We started with calamari that was excellent and moved on to the seafood pizza, which was outstanding. The chicken and pasta was delicious! To top it off, the leftovers tasted great on Monday! So by, you will be so glad that you did!Parking: Right out front.
