I worked at this restaurant for almost 2 years. Initially as a bartender/server. Then I became the GM. The owner is a lovely human but is terrible at running a business. I paid out of pocket to order ingredients for our kitchen to ensure we could open. The current manager (you can ccap) has been cited for battery (against me). The current bartender Justice also had batter charges against him and doesn’t even hold a valid bartending license because he’s made no attempt to get...read full review
The waiter after taking our orders ran away. We sat from 7:15-8:45 waiting for our food .After waiting so long the food that was brought to our table was a watery tomato sauce, with nothing but salt as a flavor. This place should think about changing their name from Pasta Tree to Can't Make Pasta Restaurant
Amazing, fresh, home-made Italian, the way it's supposed to be!

The Pasta Tree Restaurant & Wine Bar offers a variety of flavorful dishes such as lasagna, manicotti, and carbonara. The Creamy Poppy Seed dressing garden salad and homemade bread with Herb butter remain fantastic. Guests can enjoy many corti with meat sauce and house wine. Desserts like strawberry gelato and chocolate coffee are perfect to finish a meal. The atmosphere is charming and cozy, especially by the fireplace, making it a great spot for a quaint dining experience. The restaurant features good parking and a private dining area suitable for special gatherings like birthdays.
Recent reviews indicate the food is often excellent, with dishes like risotto with crab and asparagus, Pesto Linguini with shrimp, and Fresh Basil Pesto Cream with chicken receiving high praise. The bread served is warm and flavorful, often rosemary or sundried tomato butter. However, service has been inconsistent. One guest praised the attentive and great service from Kyle, while another mentioned that their server, Angel, was fast and somewhat inattentive, speaking quickly and not clearly communicating charges or special touches like birthday cupcakes. Some guests felt the service could be improved, especially given the restaurant's upscale setting and the bill size. Despite the mixed service experiences, the overall atmosphere and quality of food make The Pasta Tree a charming place to enjoy a meal.
