The pasta was excellent. If the tomatoes on the capresi salad hadn't been so anemic, they would have gotten 5s across the board.

Went for my birthday on 4/14/24 and the staff was very friendly. We were seated quickly in the private room in the back. Appetizers were good. I ordered calamari, but I enjoyed the peppers that were cooked with the calamari better. My entree was the salmon bacon fresca. It was plated very beautifully. I didn't care for the lemon butter sauce that was on the entree, but I added Alfredo, and it was delicious. Will definitely go again.

Me and my friends have been here 3 times in 1 week. Not only because of the EXCEPTIONAL service from MORGAN!!!! but also the food is to die for! All ingredients fresh and just as amazing as the first time you try it. At this point we’ve almost had everything on the menu x2 The portion size is so generous. Happy hour hits! It’s always a pleasant experience, great memories and a good time. Came to Columbia, SC for a short stay but I will be ending my visit here one last time!

The food was okay. I forgot the name of the dish, but it was a ravioli followed with Spinach and walnuts. It wasn’t nasty, but didn’t particularly like it either. It was just something all out biting into a walnut without being able to see it. The server also forgot us multiple times. Possibly because we were on the patio and she was inside a lot. The atmosphere was nice though.

3.9.24 1st time eating at Pasta Fresca. Our server was the best. She was patient, had great recommendations and was able to answer the questions we had to enable us to make the nest decision.My daughter's both had the chicken spinach lasagna and I had the chicken Alfredo with mushrooms and peas.They both enjoyed the chicken lasagna and had leftover to take home.The chicken alfredo was good, the flavor of the mushrooms and peas added to the Alfredo and fettuccine. I could have eaten the dish without the chicken.We also had the loaded bread which was delicious. It paired very well with the marinara sauce and the crab bisque my daughter had as her side.I hope you like cheese, because they give you plenty of it! I definitely plan to come back and try something different.
Damn nice atmosphere, friendly front staff. The food was delicious, but I don't enjoy the crab shells in the soup. There aren't many, but it's unpleasant.
I work a lot and was pleased with the ability to pickup a meal while on the go. I live 20 minutes away and made the drive for a decent meal.

Pasta fresca is a chain restuaraunt. The location on forest drive is sometimes easy to get in depends on the light. Pretty good parking . Maggie was an excellent waitress. Ordered the chicken and spinach lasagna. Came with a house salad and the dressing was perfect absolutely love it.The whole main dish was delicious. Perfect price for the meal. Compliments to you all.
