This restaurant is proof that mediocre food and service can survive in the right location. We had dinner here the night after Christmas, and although the menu is well-rounded, the food is not. My daughter ordered Spaghetti with Meatballs, and at first the wrong food was brought out. It was then replaced by the correct order, but the meatball was... more

Three of us ate at the Pasta Cafe on 8/24/08. Service was not good; food was mediocre. We left a generous tip on the table, well over 15%; then when we received our credit card bill, we find that another $10 had been added as a tip. Luckily, we save our credit card slips so we could compare it. more

Drinks: Our dining experience began with a waiter wiping his nose then touching and placing a straw into my boyfriends beverage with the same hand that was a few seconds before up his nostril. We could not receive a refil if we were choking ... so I ended up taking all six cups from our group to the bar to... more

I can honestly say, this is the single worst dining experience of my life. We had finished a day of skiing, and with a total party of six, we made a reservation for the Pasta Cafe on a Saturday evening at 7pm; prime weekend dining time. We were greeted by our server, who was admittedly a rookie, and apologetic about... more

I had written a very positive review for this restaurant before but the ownership changed sometime in the spring of 2007. The dishes were completely different than before. The pre dinner bread used to be so good but that changed, too. We went for a post wedding lunch in July and they were out of many many things. Just about... more

Our part of six was seated and served well by the staff at the start. But things went downhill very fast. The Filet of Oscar had fake crab and velvetta on top with a price that one would expect to pay for a fine dining expereince. Our Calimari appetizer was not prepared right the first time so it was re-heated... more

Do not eat here unless you wish to spend the next 24 hours in the bathroom. My wife and I first started eating at the Pasta Café in Roswell many ears ago and always found the food fresh, tasty, and quite reasonably priced. When we moved to Ruidoso, we were very happy to see that they had opened a restaurant... more

This used to be one of our favorite places to dine while visiting Ruidoso. It used to be a wonderful place and has a fabulous location. It is so sad that is has deteriorated to such degree. The service was poor, the staff rude, the food was mediocre at best and both of our forks were dirty. The windows and... more

What has happened to this great restaurant? My husband and I have been looking forward to returning there for a year. But where should I start? When we walked in there was a family of five and another couple who had been waiting for 25 minutes. All of the tables in the center room of the restaurant were empty as... more
