The Pasta Tree Restaurant & Wine Bar

Tried it twice and underwhelmed both times - just not our style. Charming with character but would have hoped to enjoy our meals both times for the price point paid.

Had never been so decided to go with wife. Place was empty. The food was meh. If I could have given zero stars I would have. The red sauce for both the buffalo mozzarella and bolognese was horrible. It was supposed to be a sugo. Horrible. Never had it cooked or taste that way. Zero seasoning. The other appetizer was a squash with shrimp. It was basic.

Out server was also the bartender. But he was delightful.

Won’t be going back.

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 one and has always been a bar back. I gave him an opportunity to become a bartender but lacks any knowledge nor attempts to gain it. I hosted my wedding at the pasta tree and was very grateful the owner personally cheffed for my party. (Which I paid for around a grand and gave a $200 tip) It was hosted on a day we were closed and I brought a good amount of business on a day she would have not received any income. Often during holidays I would stay until 2am decorating the restaurant as my background is in interior design and decorating. I was never paid for that time and even donated the decorations from my wedding to her. Again, she is a kind person but is terrible at running a team and there is absolutely no training or revaluation of staff when issues arise. I felt completely unsupported and underpaid. (As a manager she paid me 4.25, knowing my following of guests would tip me to make up the difference; that’s not how you run a business… hire the right people and you’ll encounter less issues) I feel hurt and sad because I know she’s a good person and the restaurant could be amazing if she didn’t employ meth addicts like Kyle who blatantly use drugs on the job. Also, employing people like Angel who assault fellow employees.. he’s chased and scared employees and I directly had to stand in his way to defend them; risking my own safety I was completely unsupported, neglected (no matter how many times I called) and abused by this business.

Wow so bad. There was 5 of us. Ordered a round of drinks, waited forever, then only got 4/5. Ordered 5 apps, one came. Then one entree came. Then two more apps. Then two entrees, one that the server dropped in the bushes. Then the rest of the apps, then the entrees, then the last entree showed up. One of the servers mumbled something about the oven being broken, then our server said something about a new person in the kitchen. It was just all SO bad. Not one time did the manager come over to talk to us and nothing was comped. It was SUCH bad service. I will never go back.

We enjoyed our experience. Food and cocktails were good, service was fine, atmosphere was good for a date night. No complaints.

Food was good and our server was very sweet! However the situation that occurred with said server and the bartender that screamed and assaulted her by dumping water on her was enough to never return. Note to the owner: the entire restaurant could hear what that bartender thought would be private in the back of house. What a way to ruin the entire night for everyone in the restaurant.

I went with 2 friends last Sunday evening, to celebrate a birthday. The food was excellent.
We shared a Caesar Salad among the 3 of us. It was very crisp, favorable and one of the best we, all agreed, ever had.
We had 3 different entrees; the risotto special of the day with crab, asparagus & more, the Pesto Linguini with shrimp (6 big shrimp) and the Fresh Basil Pesto Cream with chicken. All were excellent and the servings large so we all took home leftovers.
Warm, flavored bread, we thought rosemary, and sundried tomato butter was served when we sat down.
No complaints or issues with food!

Service was a somewhat of a disappointment. The restaurant was not busy; there was 1 other table with us in the back room and a few tables up front had customers.
Our server, Angel, could use some polishing for working in an upscale restaurant like the Pasta Tree. He spoke so fast we had to ask him to slow down twice and to repeat what he had said a number of times.
We felt a bit rushed to order (Angel has a fast manner :-) ) but we did ask him to come back in a few minutes.
What bothered me most was his inattentiveness when talking to us. All the while talking he was looking over my shoulder to the bar area. He knew his stuff as he could rattle it all off while looking away.
He also failed to let us know that there is a $5 charge for extra bread, when we ordered that. It just showed up on the bill.
Since the restaurant was not busy and the bill was over $240.00 with the tip, (which is a significant expense for us) service could have been sharper.
At the table behind us a birthday cupcake was brought out. Since we had mentioned we were there to celebrate a birthday we asked up front about that. We were told, ‘money is tight so we don’t do that anymore’ and the other table had ordered it. This is fine; I’m sharing so others reading this will know upfront. We would not have asked except we saw the others have it.

Overall excellent food & atmosphere, just polish up the service.

Waited about an hour for our food, server apologized once but didn’t really check in on us throughout our time there. mainly putting 3 stars because of the speed of service and the overall price paid. the food was delicious. not sure if I would come again, but definitely is a place worth trying once.
